Why are gamer MCs so popular nowadays?
Why are gamer MCs so popular nowadays?
It's low hanging fruit for the "He/She is just like me lol"
Because of the current state of society
because that's literally me!
I don't watch anime unless I can self-insert as a male protagonist.
They are the most relatable MCs
Not everyone can relate to some guy with burly muscles and does a martial art but everybody can relate to a guy who enjoys video games
Yeah but if I'm a child and my parents are busy working (which it's Japan, 100% certain one of your parents is doing an 8 AM to 10 PM job to feed you) I need a role model to inspire me, I'd look to my anime/video games. But they're all trying to be like me, so what can I aspire to be?
Something worthwhile. Gamers are not worthwhile.
> watching anime with m*le MCs
Kys retarded ironic weeb moeshitter.
I think you're missing the point of my inquiry.
you have shounen manga/anime for that
Luffy can be your role model!
A shonentard/haremshitter such as yourself is at the bottom of the anime fan hierarchy and has no right to insult anyone else. Moe is the pinnacle of anime.
Honestly is a better one than most "relatable" MCs
Everyone working in the industry agrees that moeshit killed anime. Go fuck yourself you ironic weeb reddit shitter.
>Everyone working in the industry
You mean all the old decrepit Miyazaki/Anno fanboys? Who gives a shit about them? Moe is the king of anime.
Fuck off moefag
Yea Forums is a moe stronghold. Fuck off to Yea Forums with your shonenshit
No what killed anime was the economic bubble bursting, resulting in an industry that gives it's large work force slave wages working 14 hours a day while VA's sit in a booth for 2-3 and make 100x what they make.
Moe is anti-art and should be never viewed as anything more than stress relief for miserable middle aged japanese salarymen.
>I don't watch anime
typical Yea Forums poster
>reverse image search that gif
>reddit pops up
Go back
You can deny it all you want but the only good anime at the very least incorporates a hefty dose of moe.
No u
You are a mentally ill individual and I hate you.
I may be mentally ill but my heart has embraced moe which means that there's no room in it for hate. I love you, user. I love all anons. I love them even if they're silly.
which female character in oregairu would gamer 8man call "veronica"?
Because people are fed up with the loser-mc trope.
Yukino of course, Hayama would be Chad
>nowadays
Are you serious nigger or just retarded?
naruto gets loads of shit but he's a much better for japan's youth than all these edgelord haremshit mcs
Why is this shitty Yea Forumsshit thread still up?
>Moe is anti-art
I feel like this is a point in its favor, rather than against it as you seem to think.
It keeps anime pure and with a goal, instead of making it tryihard garbage like "artistic" mediums of the cinematic type.
Plus, moe, yuribait and the disputable age of the characters will always be excellent normalfag filters, which keep away the unwashed masses and ensure that anime keeps being made for the smallest target audience possible.
Any animation created for any other purpose than an artistic one should be discarded as tras. Don't ever reply to me again,you waste of oxygen.
Fight fight fight
>moeturds are redditors
Imagine my surprise
Because we live in a society
Yeah mate, worked for me 15 years ago
>people now unironically fall for the "moe is a recent construct and killed anime meme"
Moe and bland protagonists have existed in anime since forever.
> muh reddit boogyman
Fuck off, spic.
Self inserts for the NPC masses who have no real life outside of video games/the internet and sometimes work or school.
Wrong. Iroha and Yui are Veronica.
Because games are escapism and escapism leads to fantasies in the fictional.
It's a direct consequence of the existential ennui that defines the end of a historical period.
Iroha and Yui haven't been fucked by Hayachad
Yukino is too timid and shy to be a "Veronica" type, she couldn't even give chocolate to Hachiman.
and Yumiko too
Dumb secondary
that's where you're wrong, only those two thots have sucked hayachode
Cope harder.
Bad thread
Are you implying that only m*le can be gamers? How sexist and patriarical of you. Women's day was barely just wrapped up but you just couldn't help yourself.
What a shame. This "age" still reeks of "male priviledges". We live in a society
Based feminist
How else do you start an isekai?
Because everyone who watches anime also plays video games.
Definitely Yui.
*ahem*
FUCK SHOUNEN, FUCK MANIME, FUCK MOESHIT, FUCK HAREMSHIT, FUCK ISEKAI, FUCK WEEBS, FUCK INCELS, FUCK SPICS, FUCK JEWS, FUCK NIGGERS AND FUCK JANNY
...
Gamers BTFO
I was literally 8man when I was in high school, and I cringe hard about it now almost 20 years later.
Makes the show a bit relatable though.
>20years later
It's time to go, grandpa
this
Yeah you're not spineless enough to take me calling you a bitch like most Japanese harem MCs do, bitch.
Because the target fucking audience is Japanese
You know, Japan, the birthplace of video games
Games are absolutely ubiquitous and everyone plays them
There's no "gamer" group identity there, just like there's no "driver" group identity in the US
What would be the point? Literally everyone does it
because anime watchers are also gang weeders
everyone in japan plays portables
>posts character from haremshit anime
I know that you want to make le epic gang weed thread, but videogames are pretty popular in Japan. Go to an arcade there and you will find that people range from salarymen, to school girls, kids and guys hanging out.
Kaguya is freaking epic
