I guess I’m safe from that path since I have no desire to obtain figures. Sure, they might be nice to look at, but where the hell would I put them, given that I’m having trouble figuring out where to put the stuff I currently have?
Actually, it is a branch way ahead before the beginning of that path that leads into a circle - which either is broken by the affected person’s willpower and then leads into that path or is simply terminated by the same person’s death.
I must tell you guys that I can’t imagine compromising or even abandoning my otaku nature because of some real-life girl. For me (and I hope for most of us) an understanding girlfriend is a must.
That’s what I’ve been trying to tell some of my guy friends who insist I normal off and find just any girl. One even told me that I need to stop wasting my money on useless things (anime stuff). Yeah, haven’t spoken to him awhile.
Related story. When I was out at a fast food joint with a friend (sorta otaku-ish, has an irl girlfriend) I made a comment about Saber liking hamburgers in a doujin. He got on to me and told me that she’s not real and never will be. Basically that I shouldn’t like 2-d girls. I then asked him if he still had a thing for Asuka Langly (he’s been a fan for at least 10 years) only to have the response “I’m over that.”
:evil:
