Do you think anime makes people socially inept or are the socially inept drawn to anime?
Because the people that like and anime the most are usually socially inept losers.

the latter

not anymore, anime has more or less become mainstream

I am a winner for being socially inept. I get to see the true face of everyone around me. Imagine if I spent my entire life not knowing how the people around me would treat me if I had nothing to give them, yeah, fuck them

The latter. First of all, there is nothing as "socially inept", there are only neurotypicals and neurodivergent people.

More or less? I'd say more than less. It's oftentimes a desirable trait in a woman by even the most lite nerds.
When a poser "I play cs and lol" nerd is attracted to a certain trait, like using 4chan, liking anime, listening to house music or shit like that, that's when you know it's mainstream.
It's so common to see normies say shit like uwu need femcel gf need shy weeb gf
You don't see the same phenomenon with, say, taxidermy. Because that's weird and retarded to them. They just want the thrill of someone "weird" who isn't actually weird. Half-assing slopfags.

i'd say both, if you spend all day watching anime your social skills will of course degrade. people drawn to anime also likely don't have much going on in their life though. there is also a 3rd group though which are normies drawn to anime just as a form of healthy entertainment as anime has become mainstream somewhat recently.

picrel will hold true, give it a bit and they get bored and animu will be only for nerds again

God I wish, but with the amount of cash money big animation studios rake in via anime, it's not going off the mainstream anytime soon. If anything, there might be a drought of good anime as horrid shit gets churned out, leaving the real weebs to pick through the scraps to find and share obscure, good anime.
Only for normies to plunder their communities for muh animu binge session. Same as it ever was.

As if it wasn't mostly an ocean of shit already

>>81617389
yeah sure, because its totally impossible to develop social skills.

My crazy mother thinks anime is ruining my life and that it's the sole reason why I'm socially inept. I don't get why it triggers some people so much.
