Is this really their ideal image of a male? Why do they keep portraying themselves in anime like this?
A dude who's an infantilized prude asshole who cannot ever look at a woman, as if she's another species? Forever stuck in high school, consuming the latest manga/nintendo/gacha product? Masturbating to themselves getting NTR'd to hell?
What the fuck is their problem? No other country does this to themselves
I saw this image and it pissed me off, I don't care if it's out of context, you know what I'm talking about and it's ridiculous

Methinks OP doth protest too much.

Picrel is also another example of what I'm talking about, it's like they're allergic to affection, or any feeling that isn't their bing bing wahoo autism
What kind of nation portray themselves as weak like this? It's fine if you want to make a purposely flawed or prude character, but in the case of japan it seems less like a deliberate choice and more like "Oh this is the default male archetype we should use as a base"
You could say picrel is an example of a purposely prude character, but at least to me this is just an attempt to get the most viewership

If you ever manage to get laid you'll realize awkward first love is much more fun to read

You're mentally ill

>>281149856
It's not a case of awkward first love, it's a case of completely emasculating themselves for whatever reason
I've read many romances and the best ones are the ones where the characters DARE to do things, instead of letting things happen to them by circumstance
If we're talking about the romance genre, shit like rent-a-girlfriend is what's considered "good" and popular in japan, guys who can't touch a person of the opposite sex without breaking down into tears and pissing their pants, endless ntr dramas and endless BAWWWW scenes where they don't do anything and only let the world do the actions for them, where's ANY character accountability? Where's ANY emotional matureness? And this is ONLY in the romance genre
Picrel is probably the only romance where the characters do things and have an actual effect on the environment and situation around them, and even then it's really weak and minor

>>281150088
>And this is ONLY in the romance genre
Forgot to add that this happens in all other genres too, not just romance

>>281150088
>rent-a-girlfriend is what's considered "good"

Jesus stop rambling you autist. You're seeking out shounen romcoms and then getting mad when they deliver exactly what's promised.

>>281150134
I said "shit like rent-a-girlfriend", in the sense that picrel is what men act by default in anime
>>281150186
I'm not seeking romcoms, read what I posted
I mean that by default, japanese men are portrayed acting like sissy shy prude cunts with no backbone

>>281149407 (OP)
Why can't you stop thinking about NTR for a second and chuckle at her treating handholding as something very lewd like in the memes?

>>281150281
>hurr durr you said the word ntr lalalalala shut up and stop thinking bruh you're yapping ong BRUH SHUT UP UMMMMMM
Why can't zoomers have a fucking discourse?

>>281149407 (OP)
You post this despite the mc Ayumu being uncuckable?

>>281150369
>hurr durr lalalalala shut up and stop asking me questions bruh you're yapping ong BRUH SHUT UP UMMMMMM
Why can't zoomers have a fucking discourse?

>>281150460
You're focusing on the image instead of my post
No, I don't give a shit about the absolutely hilarious comedy you think that scene is, you're embarrassing yourself
I'm talking about why characters are always so prude and allergic to any affection, they almost always overreact to it

It's all because Japan is like Finland where everyone is socially retarded, autistic and cucked. That's why all modern manga and anime are like this.

>>281150436
He saw it in the one page thread and doesn't know anything about the manga

>>281150629
They overreact especially in shounen romance because funny faces and to get more runtime.
You're the one here embarrassing yourself if anyone.

>>281149407 (OP)
Hey OP if you want to check the context the source is "Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru"
You might want to choose a better example.

read better romcom

>>281149407 (OP)
>Why is there cucks in anime

let me get this straight, you are reading (mostly) manga written for little kids and making a huge issue in your mind because this young, less than 18, kids are not that forward?
Not to mention that Japan always had an (openly) extremely reserved culture that used to frown heavily on any public expression of love due to a culture strongly based on being reserved and not being annoying to others.

Hilariously, you use 3 very shitty examples:
1:>>281150088
They already fucked off-screen, specifically stated by them, and pretty much at the point of the page you are post, and the whole reason it took long was because it obviously was stretching itself in a silly will they won't they

2:>>281149648
You are missing the whole point of the story, about a character that's literally a straight captain of the moral comity of his school, which is the whole reason the relation starts as the main female character felt accosted and objectified by other guys. Now she wants to get fucked and is getting nothing.

>>281149407 (OP)
Literally middle schoolers in a shonnen manga, about a forward girl and straight laced guy.


Also, cuck means somebody else is fucking you girl; there is no other meaning, no matter what you want to believe.

Honestly, I have no idea what you think you mean, what kind of retardad point you think you are making, if you are stupid enough to reply, or even if you are dumb enough to think your thread is worth more than a fart, but I just hope at least some of this comes through you thick skull: "You are dumbass".

Holy shit. What chapter? I've been letting Akutsu-san make more chapters before I splurge.

>>281149407 (OP)

bad writing conceits get codified by subsequent generations of genre hacks

cuckiness

>>281153061
>Literally middle schoolers
They're in high school, but you're otherwise correct.
You wasted too much effort on that guy

>>281149407 (OP)
they were beaten

>>281149407 (OP)
That's actually sad, he should think of how she feels. She's so disappointed she didn't get her snuggle ;__;

I want a hug but can't get one. That dude is an idiot.

>What kind of nation portray themselves as weak like this?
Leftists the world over love to do this, the male ones think being meek and reliant and dictated to are great virtues.

For the love of fucking god will you faggots please go read shoujo and self insert into your precious suave corny homoerotic alpha sex pest and shut up? Not a single person on earth gives a fuck about the political social gender optics of the literary construct on the piece of paper, they are fake unreal people, they are tools, they are not meant to act realistically, they are machines that provoke stimulus. That’s it. It’s not about “portraying the Japanese people” you fucking schizophrenic.
