How do you all cope with never having a anime girlfriend who will love you and the best you can hope for these days is a vapid whores who will only be attractive for a few years before blowing up and treating you like shit for wasting her “best years”?

Anime woman ruined zoomers. Their ideas for dating and woman are fucked up they expect an ideal 10/10 woman with superpowers to fall in love with them for being nice. What happened to them?

>be me have female childhood friend that I was always close to we’d hang out almost everyday
>start dating in sixth grade
>eventually start going to highschool in the second year a football player asked my girlfriend out and she said yes and broke up with me in favor of him and to rub salt on the wounds called me a, “loser”
>become depressed and the next five years pass I never got over it and never tried dating again I always had this fear that the next girl would dump me for the next best thing
>look her up on Facebook she become a single mom of four kids and like all American woman got incredibly fat again she is like 23
I don’t get it why did she dump me in favor of him? Was it really because he was a football player? He wasn’t even that good looking. I became a electrician and make good money.

How do I get a girlfriend like the woman in the picture?

Anime ruined men. They expect picture to happen to them. It’s over.

Can someone explain to me why zoomers would rather jerk off to cartoons rather than get a real woman in real life that they can real life sex with? I means it’s beyond lazy and weird to jerk off to cartoons with exaggerated female bodies and with literal superpowers because why not and who in eternal undying loyal loves the painfully mediocre male protagonist because he is “nice”. Whatever that means. What caused this phenomenon? It’s one thing to have fantasies but it’s a whole other thing when you abandon the real world for a stale fantasy like that.

I don’t think people understand just how unfair this whole thing is for guys like us. We grew up marinating in anime—watching women who are literally designed to be the perfect partner: beautiful, smart, supportive, loyal, actually interesting to talk to, never vindictive, never bored, and never using you as an emotional landfill for issues you didn’t cause. We were promised, at least by all the media we consumed, that somewhere out there we’d find a partner who would add something to our lives—a real equal, someone to grow with, fight for, love, and who would actually love us back.

Then reality hits like a truck. What are we expected to settle for? Women who, by every objective measure, are inferior to the fantasy in every single way. Aging in fast-forward by their early twenties, attitude through the roof, full of tattoos, nose rings, carrying baggage from five failed relationships, expecting you to play therapist and finance manager for the emotional fallout some random chad caused years ago. Not to mention the drama—always bored, always looking for something new, and when they get bored of you, they’ll burn your whole life to the ground just for kicks. And somehow you get blamed for their bad choices and emptiness.

Let’s be real about the absolute state of the zoomer generation. Anime and digital escapism have completely warped what people expect from life. So many young men now think existence should just be about coasting—get rich without effort, be famous for doing nothing, and never have to do a single thing you don’t want to do. But the real damage is in what it’s done to expectations around women and relationships.

Look at the media these guys consume—wall-to-wall idealized, impossibly perfect girls. Anime heroines are designed to be flawless: always young, always beautiful, superhumanly loyal, bursting with magical powers, no flaws, no real needs, and forever fixated on the blandest “nice guy” main character. The line between fantasy and reality has basically evaporated. What’s terrifying is that for a growing portion of zoomers, this isn’t just entertainment. It’s become their unconscious template for how real women should look and behave.

The result? 60%—sixty percent—of zoomer men aged 18 to 30 have literally never even approached a woman in person. Not dated, not kissed, not even said hi. Why? Because real women aren’t animated, ageless, perfect dreamgirls. They have flaws, opinions, emotions, and sometimes, yes, they’ll reject you. Rather than learn to deal with reality and imperfection, too many guys are just opting out entirely. They’re choosing the endless safety of their rooms, worshipping digital idols, and wasting their finite years watching, fantasizing, and even jerking off to drawings instead of actually trying

People talk about “nice girls” and “childhood friends” in anime like they’re sacred cows—pure, loyal, always waiting in the wings for the sad sack MC to get his shit together. But then you get a character like Lotia from Dark Hero Party, who is the absolute death of that fantasy. She’s the perfect deconstruction, the kind of “nice girl” who shows you what happens when those tropes run headfirst into actual self-interest and survival instincts.

Lotia isn’t some innocent. She’s dragon-blessed, rich by adoption, and always considered herself a cut above Imos. He was never her equal—just a pet, a charity case, something to nurture when convenient. The second Thrash comes along with power and swagger, Lotia’s “loyalty” to Imos evaporates. She doesn’t get forced into it, she doesn’t break down sobbing—she grabs the first excuse she can, rewrites the story, and jumps ship. Her justification? “It’s for the children, it’s for peace, Imos just doesn’t get it.” Absolute cope.

What makes her worse is how willing she is to watch the people closest to her be destroyed, as long as it keeps her comfortable. Imos gets bullied, humiliated, nearly driven to suicide—Lotia watches it happen and lets Thrash do whatever he wants. Aina, her supposed friend, gets captured and used as a literal sex slave for a year, and Lotia barely bats an eye. She never tries to intervene, never risks her own position, never even acknowledges what Aina goes through. Her only focus is staying in Thrash’s good graces, keeping her status, and getting that “mob wife” life as Chad’s woman.

How much disposable income do you all get at the end of the month and what’s your jobs? I get like 600 dollars after everything and I feel like I’m being ripped off.

If you want a perfect snapshot of why zoomers are so broken and checked out, just look at Dark Hero Party. This game is basically a black mirror for the entire anime-poisoned male psyche: the “nice guy” protagonist gets nothing but betrayal, humiliation, and despair for his efforts. His so-called friends sell him out, the women he cares about treat him like garbage, and every ending is either bleak, nihilistic, or flat-out tragic.

It’s not even subtle—this is exactly the core of zoomer disillusionment. You spend your life told to “just be a good person” and everything will work out, only to get blindsided by reality. The hero doesn’t win. Loyalty is a joke. Women aren’t magical reward machines, and nobody cares about your pain or effort. Every hopeful fantasy gets spat on. And it’s all wrapped in that familiar JRPG/anime aesthetic—almost like the devs were mocking the very people most likely to play it.

No wonder guys retreat into anime and fantasy. At least there, you can control the outcome or pretend the waifu will always be loyal. Reality is just like Dark Hero Party: endless struggle, betrayal, no happy ending, and you’re left questioning why you even tried. If anything, the game is less a fantasy and more a brutal lesson for anyone still clinging to those outdated, fairy-tale expectations. The world doesn’t owe you a thing, and no amount of “niceness” or wishful thinking is going to change that.

Dark Hero Party isn’t escapism, it’s a wake-up call. Most zoomers just hit snooze and crawl deeper into their digital holes.

Lotia stands as one of the most psychologically complex—and divisive—characters in Dark Hero Party. At first glance, she seems to fit the “childhood friend” trope, but the game quickly reveals her as a ruthless deconstruction of the traditional NTR heroine.

Lotia’s background is central to her arc: she’s not just dragon-blessed, but also adopted into a wealthy family, giving her a sense of privilege and status that Imos can never touch. This quietly shapes her attitude toward him—he’s not an equal, but a charity case or even a pet. Her affection is tinged with pity rather than genuine romantic passion. Despite their shared history, Lotia’s loyalty is conditional, anchored more to her own self-image and comfort than to any real devotion.

you really want to see just how bleak things have gotten for guys in this generation, play Dark Hero Party. It’s not just a game, it’s a straight-up dissection of everything that’s wrong with modern relationships and expectations, all wrapped up in anime aesthetics.

Let’s talk about the “heroines.” First you have Lotia—the so-called childhood friend, the girl every protagonist is supposed to “win” by being loyal and kind. What does she do? The second someone with more power and swagger shows up, she jumps ship without looking back. She abandons Imos for the first Chad who flashes his muscles, sells out all that shared history, and leaves him in the dirt. So much for loyalty or childhood promises—Lotia’s just another example of how “ride or die” means nothing in reality.

Then there’s Tori, Imos’s own sister. If you thought family would be different, think again. She gets swept up by a literal drug dealer, abandons her brother, and spirals into addiction and exploitation. She’s not just lost—she’s willingly degrading herself to chase a high and the attention of a lowlife. The message couldn’t be clearer: even the closest blood ties get trashed for the next thrill.

And then there’s Aina, the token “good woman.” But what does she actually do? Nothing. She sits on the sidelines while everything collapses, offers a shoulder to cry on but doesn’t fight for Imos, doesn’t try to save anyone. She’s passive, just another bystander in his downfall.

Every route leads to the same conclusion: betrayal, apathy, and loneliness. Dark Hero Party isn’t even trying to be hopeful. It’s a wake-up call that the fantasy is dead—loyalty is a meme, and if you don’t learn to look out for yourself, you’re just meat for the grinder. No wonder guys are checking out—who wants to play a rigged game?
