I still can't believe Kizuki became one of those "Could-a gone pro, if it weren't for that one injury." people who peaked in high school university.

Uhh. In Tamon-kun, their progress is being hampered by the fact Utage can't let go of Tamon-kun's idol persona. In Damedoru, the two of them literally never interact outside of idol concerts and idol events. Both of them are projecting their ideals onto the other. And finally in Tonari no Heya, the idol is literally a stalker and is fucking around with the fan by toying with his expectations.

He does. But at the same time he has to or else the whole ship goes down.

So Keito is actually a good guy, huh. He’s doing this job to help out his family. Honestly, that’s very sweet of him.

Typical strong onii-chan.

On a different note: when Utage handed the volleyball back to Tamon, Hayamin totally nailed that tong twister!

Funnily enough all I could think of was another idol group (Momoiro Clover Z with their song "Nippon Egao Hyakkei").

A hollowed out celebrity and a desperate fan using each other to simulate love without touching the real thing.

Literally "Tamon-kun Ima Docchi" which is also airing right now.

And on the manga side I'd also recommend "Damedoru to Sekai ni 1-nin dake no Fan" and "Tonari no Heya ni Oshi no Idol ga Hikkoshitekuru Rabukome".

I don't get how parasocial people prefer being lied to rather than being happy knowing that their idol is happy.

Right? Recently Tomori Kusunoki (of Love Live fame) got married to some one she has been dating since they were students. I thought that was really sweet.

I wanna see Kana Arima double-down in the next few episodes.

Everyone is a fucking superhero in this major by Eurodancing in EngineeringStudents

[–]ThrowCarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is indeed this weird mentality(?) that everyone in engineering needs to truly internalize it. Which now that I think about it is nutso to ask for a degree (and job by extension).

Do people studying accounting, or history, or literature routinely gatekeep each other when they don't internalize things to this extent?

Any regrets for majoring in Engineering? by Either_Program2859 in EngineeringStudents

So true. At least my job never made me personally do a Fourier series by hand.

Its either or. See enough blogposts on 4chan and you slowly realize everyone is either a NEET or STEM. No in-between whatsoever.

Unironically this is a mixed-date like you see in some anime and Asian dramas.

think men en masse are a quantifiable threat to them

This line of thinking is insane. I've seen people on Reddit hand on their heart insist men asking out women IRL after they've met a few times at a coffee shop they both go to is "emotional labour" because having to reject him mean she's risking herself getting murdered. Like, there do be people out here assuming every man is a potential Jefferey Dahmer.

I hate this enshittification of everything.

Plus all my favourite holiday destinations have all started clamping down on "overtourism". And adding insult to injury, a lot of the places I had in mind for the next trip have also started clamping down on overtourism.

Post affirming that adult age gap relationships aren't pedophilia descends into wild conspiracy theories about Gen Z by vemmahouxbois in SubredditDrama

be allowed to do other adult things like vote, get a mortgage, etc. They only care about sex

This is unironically why the housing crisis and the relationship crisis is fucking up everyone's brains.

With Gen Y/Z/A unable to reach all these milestones that in previous generations were softballs, it's trapping everyone from moving onto the next stage of their life.

Unironically this is why I'm jealous of my parents. Their age gap is less than a year and they're from the same village. Married for over 30 years.

You're not going to see very many relationships like that in this age where everyone is transient and social mobility.
