>>1596 >my family has been pretty close to each other,mostly because my parents don't use them and when we barely use them save Whatsapp for contacting. Some of my family is that way, but a lot seem to have picked up social media behaviors and started having them IRL. There just seems to be this since of rivalry between some with almost a sense of passive aggressive things at worst. This is what I mean by internal politics. Ironically, real politics hasn't come up too much despite a couple of my family members being pretty sjw. Sorry for the confusion.
>I am one of those people who values more a personal opinion directly to my face than said behind the computer. Mostly because in the social media,you can have a mask and troll to all,it's really easy to be harsh behind the screen. Me too. For me it's just easier to read people. You can tell little details and inflictions to the words, how they look at you, etc. Rarely do I have such feeling of genuineness or sincerity online.
>Unpleasant....I considered it worse. I thought that watching something so colourful would make me gay or blind of so much saturations. Even a point in which I thought,I would have AIDS or that I would turn into a different person for opening Pandora's box. My was a little less severe than that. I was fearful of my acceptance of it changing who I was/my taste on things. I started out with fanfics and though most I thought were cringy, some I did find interesting and I was curious as to what was driving things. When I first looked up characters on the wiki I really disliked how they looked. I would cringe internally each time I looked at a clip of the show. I just remember this gradual realization that I unironically like this little show and being kind of freaked out in half denial about it for a year, despite visiting fansites and chans often. All the things I disliked grew on me and just accepted that I liked it.
>I had that stupid mentality....and the funny thing is that I am better man now than I was that day. For me it got me to accept things from a "you don't hve to stop liking childhood things and you won't be a manchild if you do" kind of way. I do consider myself someone who is my at peace with myself than if I hadn't gotten into the show. But yeah, get the girlishness being a turn off.
>When you look for craziness....it's certainly not the best idea because either you become one, or two,you could end up with something really stupid (sometimes funny) and discover fetishes (so I guess that you were bored and you wanted masochism and surf for the lolz). It started out as bored amusement, but I gradually developed a fascination with marry sue characters and self incerts who were protrayed as beng good and perfect eve when they were clearly in the wrong. I started to fantasize about carrying out the logical implications of the worst fanfic logic and/or having other characters react rationally to such merry sues or other strange choices, like say, having a crossover with Star Trek with the characters actually being freaked out over the care bears/Link/whoever else rather than them being completely chill with each other by the end of a chapter. So I guess your right on both masochism and lolz.
