Anime warped an entire generation of men. Every show sells the same lie: the average nobody protagonist, some awkward loner or failure, magically ends up with beautiful, loyal, flawless girls who devote themselves completely just because he exists. No effort, no competition, no improvement required. Just being “nice” or “different” is enough, and women will line up to pledge eternal devotion.

Look at Toradora, where a boring guy becomes the center of a love triangle with two high-value girls. In Sword Art Online Kirito is a blank self-insert, yet every girl he meets falls for him. Even in Re:Zero Subaru is pathetic, constantly breaking down, but still wins unconditional love. These shows all push the same fantasy: you don’t earn love, it’s handed to you.

Now imagine growing up on this. Young men absorb the message that they too deserve goddess-tier women who will never betray them. Then reality hits. Real women aren’t perfect waifus, they have standards, flaws, and agency. Real life is rejection, struggle, and competition. When the fantasy doesn’t match reality, men don’t adapt—they collapse.

Instead of facing the world they retreat into anime, porn, and video games. The artificial dopamine loops are safer and more reliable than dealing with disappointment. They stop trying, convince themselves real women are “not worth it,” and rot in their rooms waiting for a waifu that will never come.

Anime didn’t just entertain. It raised expectations to impossible levels and when reality couldn’t deliver, it created a generation of men who gave up on life itself.

With how fast AI is developing what’s going to be the end result of AI girlfriends? With how shit real life woman are something all men know now thanks to their parents marriage and the internet I think a lot of them will pay for a simulation of a anime woman and become emotionally invested in them. This could be a extinction level event. What do you think is going to happen?

Anime has ruined zoomers they now expect to have a 10/10 fall in love with them for being “nice”. Nothing else. It’s over.

>be average man in 2025
>born in the dark period where the average man know how shit woman are thanks to the internet and woman nature is fully unleashed and even encouraged by kikes to control society
>worse is the realization that sapient AI idealized woman are coming in about 50 and you’ll either just miss it or get a glimpse of it as you’re dying alone
Everything fucking sucks in 2025. Literally not even a glimmer of hope in any aspect of life. How are you all coping with this shit life? My parents keep bugging me to get married and even had to balls to suggest I just with a single mother and I just, “had to pick one” and don’t seem to comprehend that I’d rather have nothing than a “liberated” woman and relive a even shittier version of my parent’s marriage.

Almost half of men under 30 haven’t approached a woman before. That’s not just “shyness” — it’s a full-blown shift in how male desire works. Look at Kasane Teto as an example. She’s not human, yet she’s engineered — literally designed — to hit maximum attraction triggers. Perfect facial symmetry, idealized body proportions, endlessly cute voice. She’ll never age, never reject you, never have mood swings, never ask for compromise. Every piece of art, every song, is curated to make you feel wanted and emotionally safe.

Psychologically, that’s lethal. Real women can’t compete with a fantasy that’s algorithmically tuned to bypass the natural trial-and-error of human relationships. Instead of learning to navigate the messy, unpredictable reality of dating — rejection, negotiation, growth — guys can get instant dopamine on demand. Over time, this rewires reward circuits: real relationships feel “too costly” compared to the fantasy, so many men check out entirely.

This isn’t harmless escapism. If half a generation of men decides women aren’t worth the effort, we’re looking at collapsing birthrates, shrinking social cohesion, weaker economies, and a culture increasingly built around artificial relationships. What does society look like when men’s deepest social bonds are with voices like Teto instead of real people?

Can someone explain to me why zoomers would rather jerk off to this instead of getting with real life woman they can actually talk to and fuck? It’s insane NONE of the zoomers at my workplace are interested in woman.

What’s going to happen when zoomers hit 40 and realize they wasted the best years of their lives on video games, anime, and hentai?

How do I get a girlfriend like this in real life?

Why does anime continue to give realistic expectations to men for what woman should be like?

How do you all cope with the reality that real life woman will never compare to anime woman? They will never love you like how a anime woman is capable of fictionally. Woman are literally scientifically proven to view men as objects.

>be me 14 discover teto and hentai do the math
>spend next ten years gooning to teto hentai and fanfiction
>24 now fat bald and no social skills and a virgin unless you count me gooning to Teto hentai or fanfiction
>Fuck you Japan you sold me a lie

Why are American woman so unattractive the only “hot” ones out there are literally teenagers and even then it’s not a sure thing: what happened?

Can someone explain to me why zoomers jerk off to cartoons instead of real woman or maybe hear me out go outside and fuck a real woman? It’s insane.

>be me
>grew up watching idealized woman in anime who are not fat, intelligent, strong not just psychically but emotionally, kind (or at least not super cunts), and capable of love and loyalty that is not transactional
>20 now and am expected to marry a fat (all woman are fat by 20 anymore), stupid, cunt, single mom with entitlement issues and is still hung up about how her ex “abused” her and will project it all onto me and expect me to just take it while hating me for taking it
Honestly what the fuck is the point? 60 percent of zoomers never bothered and who can blame them when this is all that’s left. What the fuck happened to make things so damn bad? What sort of sick joke is this
