So did tkmz attempt to present a coherent philosophy in GLT or did she just enjoy making random philosophical remarks and references? This page made me think GLT's themes should somehow relate to Schopenhauer, but his philosophy seems far off anything GLT ever tries to present.

well they can't read very well, so if it's a commentary it's that your philosophy doesn't matter if you can't communicate it with anyone

I guess it's tkmiz thread time again.
Same here, afterwards I started reading manga a lot, but I've been watching less anime.
It may be sad, but SS is honestly what I look forward to the most every month, I can't wait for chapter 5.
I think that's what kept the potatoes going despite their desperate situation, heck, if I had Yuu or Chii to keep me company, it'd be easy to get along with hopelessness.
We're all alone together, ain't that funny.
To me GLT was never about any "deep" philosophical thoughts, I think what made it powerfull is that it was about simple human emotions, hopelessness, friendship and stuff like that, I think that any references to philosophy weren't actually about the phylosophy itself, but they were there to show all that has been lost with the big war that pretty much wiped out humanity.
I could be wrong though, I'm not really well versed in philosophy and I don't know tkmiz's intentions, if it was his intention to directly tie GLT to any phylosophical works etc. it went over my head

Ayden Rivera
I'm not particularly well versed in philosophy either, I just have a degree in it I picked up for fun
I binge-read the manga in one night (DO NOT ATTEMPT; BAD FOR MOOD) and though I didn't catch any specific explicit references besides the Schopenhauer (which isn't a really a particularly relevant branch of philosophy) tkmiz is absolutely familiar with some real philosophy.
Study of the human condition 100% falls into the category of existential philosophy, and the entire work is an exploration of human teleology, which is LITERALLY the "deepest" and most cliché philosophical thought out there: what is the meaning of life? Specifically, what is the purpose of any of us being alive, what are we "supposed" do do with that? The question is made especially poignant in GLT, where there aren't many good candidates for "life goals" to pick from. Beyond "don't starve" and "keep the bike working" all they're working on is a vague notion that they're supposed to keep going upwards, despite not knowing exactly why they're supposed to do so or what they're hoping to find at the top. And then they get there, and...
The primary secular nihilistic existential fear is that at the end of the story, there's no Big Point. No God, no grand unifying narrative, no afterlife, no metaphysically meaningful ethics, no long arc of history bending towards justice, no remnants of civilization on the top level , nada, zip, zero, zilch. You're born, you live, you do some stuff, you die, and it was all basically pointless. In such a world, why bother with the stuff between being born and dying? Albert Camus famously phrased the question as "should I kill myself, or should I have a cup of coffee?" This is not a rhetorical question: if there's no God or anything similarly capable of giving capital-m Meaning to human existence, why exactly are you still doing it?
Asher Young

tkmiz is the reason I got a twitter, and I'm glad I did, there are a lot of really nice anime art accounts
considering there are tens of thousands of episodes of "cute girls in highschool", i'm pretty sure they can make up
Carter Davis
But if they're made up by the anime crew and not tkmz, what's even the point?
James Reed
Use chapters from the anthology. Some were good even if they were not by TKMIZ. Like the cinema one.
David Ward
you can capture the feel and spirit of the story an characters in filler episodes. the point is that we finish the story and get another season.
Liam Edwards
Realistically these is pretty much no way it's ever gonna happen and if it did it probably wouldn't be in the form of season 2, it would probably be in OVA form. It is nice to dream though.
I just hope SS goes on and in a few years time when there is more material we'll hopefully get an SS anime.
I guess you're right, if you make a story about human life you inevitably do tackle philosophy, but I agree with you that tkmiz didn't make any explicit references (beside the Schopenhauer) and I think that's a good thing, if there were a bunch of quotes from philosophy books and whatnot, it would make it seem like tkmiz is just trying to be deep for the sake of being deep and that would deminish the simple relatable human aspect of GLT.
Some of them were good yes, by the way, the cinema chapter is the one chapter from the anthology that is by tkmiz.If you re-read it you might notice it has some SS foreshadowing at the end.
I don't think filler episodes are a good idea, part of what made the manga good is that it didn't drag on with pointless filles, making it shorter, just and OVA or two would be better in my opinion.
Jason Thompson
This is what I mean by the foreshadowing, I think it describes the potatoes appearing in SS pretty well.
Christian Morgan
Pt.2 (The Less Depressing Half)
But Camus, for example, was an Absurdist: having a cup of coffee is a perfectly legitimate alternative to weigh against killing yourself because if it's all equally meaningless, you might as well explore what's going on while you're here.
That's the thing, nihilism and existential dread aren't necessarily final inevitable conclusions, but challenges that existential philosophers take up seriously. Okay, so there's no God and no afterlife and all that shit, but maybe you can find passable reasons to live in spite of that.
THAT'S the challenge posed to the readers by Girls' Last Tour: once you know how it ends (because it's in essence the same ending as all human lives), can you still find a way to see the journey as having been worthwhile? Sad to see them go, sure, but not EXISTENTIALLY DEPRESSING sad. And GLT does point at a few serious contenders: human connection, the arts (as a medium for human expression), rituals (maybe it's not capital-i Important to put the memorial artifacts back in the right place, but you still feel like it's the right thing to do and derive some peace from having done so), and self-set goals (you'll notice that everyone they encountered still alive in the wasteland was dedicated to some kind of life's work: cartography, aviation, even just taking care of one fish. Maybe none of them worked out in the end, but that's not necessarily the most important thing: the project was enough to give them a reason to live.
In summary, Girls' Last Tour is very well grounded in existential philosophy (Camus and Sartre being particularly relevant) and poses a very difficult but very important challenge to readers: find a way to not view this story as a depressing one, because spoiler alert, it's essentially your story too.
Hudson Phillips
Nichijou is my favourite analysis of Nitsche
You're absolutely right, but in the case of GLT it makes me wonder if tkmiz wrote the way he did because of his experiences with real life or because of the works he's read before, obviously it's probably both, but it makes me think that people often ask if art immitates life or whether life immitates art, in the case of GLT I wonder if GLT immiates life or if GLT immitates art that immitates life and so on.I don't know how to word it better.
I'd be interested what your take on SS is so far.

Jason Ward
>the main source material is human experience so you don't actually have to study shit
You're right it is pretty funny that just being a human that's alive makes me just as qualified to talk about the human experience as some philosopher that has spent 40 years of his life reading philosophy books and debating about the meaning of it all, heh.
Also I'd really recommend SS, it's only 4 chapters so far, so you can read it in like 10 minutes, it has similar feel to GLT, yet it feels like it has its own identity, so far I like it a lot. It's also very strange so I'd say there's a lot of room for discusion about what means what.Also tater cameos

I'm Yuu, Shinchosha and Yen Press have given me this time to talk to you about something we both really care about. Tkmiz. Tkmiz is the reason I and my friends are alive, and we're eternally grateful to have been given it.
Think about this: Many of you browsing Yea Forums out there now are adults. Do you realize that at 18, you have lived only 1/4th of your life? When you're messaging a mangaka like that, you're only cheating yourself from the opportunity of having not been embarrassed by messaging them and making them uncomfortable, and believe me, if you don't message him, you can live your life knowing you respected his privacy, and he respects you as a fan.
Listen, you got at least 3/4ths of your life to go. That's three more lifetimes to you! So don't blow it. Don't message Tkmiz. If you're doing it, stop it. Get some help. Chii wants you to give yourself a chance. A chance to find out all the wonderful things you really can do. And so do I.

I want to explore the concepts of freedom and living how you want to, among other things. I loved the stark, solemn, brutally beautiful world tkmiz presented in SSR, but I wouldn't want to copy it, and it wouldn't fit with what I have in mind.
There would still be cute girls, though.
Jonathan Moore
Good luck, user
Parker Foster
Best of luck to you user, if you really do it that'd be awesome, creating something is the most beautiful thing a person can do with their life in my opinion.
And not being a lazy bitch like me that just keeps putting stuff off.

Why did he, the author, put that big of a fuck you at the end of the series?
Did someone hurt him?
Nathaniel Hernandez
Why would you read a manga with this premise if you wanted a happy ending?
Noah Taylor
Because having a happy ending would be a massively bigger fuck you since that would be the complete opposite of what the whole manga/anime tried to convey, so I think having a happy ending would be pointless

Easton Clark
It's not exactly a happy ending, but it's not a balls-kick fuck-you depressing ending either
I wrote out some of my other thoughts here and here ; the ending (the whole manga desu) is a challenge to readers (and Chi/Yuu) (and tkmiz) to find meaning in life even though this is how it ends eventually
Based on the manga, tkmiz's theory seems to be
>find goals and projects to dedicate yourself to (airplanes, maps, fish, art); even if they don't work out it's something to live for
>Everything is transient (bikes, food, friends, civilization, bags, life) so appreciate things while they're there and accept that they won't always be
>the above makes it especially important to connect with other people, especially the ones you care about, while you can
>don't die alone
Cameron Morales
>don't die alone
You gave me hope and then crushed it user.
Logan Clark
For me the whole manga was a celebration of life
I agree with you that it doesn't sell any particular philosophy
I read it in one day just like you, the first thing i though after i finished was Cavafy's poem Ithaka
As you set out for Ithaka
hope your road is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
angry Poseidon—don’t be afraid of them:
you’ll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare excitement
stirs your spirit and your body.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
wild Poseidon—you won’t encounter them
unless you bring them along inside your soul,
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.
Hope your road is a long one.
May there be many summer mornings when,
with what pleasure, what joy,
you enter harbors you’re seeing for the first time;
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations
to buy fine things,
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
sensual perfume of every kind—
as many sensual perfumes as you can;
and may you visit many Egyptian cities
to learn and go on learning from their scholars.
Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you’re destined for.
But don’t hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you’re old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you wouldn't have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.
Samuel Young
>don't die alone
Brody Peterson
Fight your troubles, embrace the pain till you get what you want.
Brody Scott
>don't die alone
too late for that
Easton Jenkins

Well in fact I left a package to Tsukumizu's editor just after the publication of SSR's sixth volume. I put a letter (in Japanese) to say thank you and share some thoughts on the manga/anime, plus Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus" and some sweets as well.
Tkmiz first sent a message on Twitter to say thank you. And like 10 months later she posted an extract of said book (pic related) saying it was a book she received from a reader, so I was kinda glad she actually took the time to read it.
So now you can be sure that Tkmiz knows about Camus and existentialism.
Caleb Rodriguez
Would it be creepy if I go to her place to give a book?
Christopher Robinson
Do it user
I gave up on creating something similar a while ago and it makes me sad I don't have the motivation to do it.
It won't hurt to try.
Nolan Allen
I'm not much of a poetry guy, but I think I get what the poem is trying to say and I see the paralel to the girl's journey to the top level, there was nothing on the top level, but "Ithaka didn't fool them", because what mattered was the journey there, they visited many places and became wise and rich, not rich in the monetary sence, but rich in good memories of their adventures together.
I might need to give poetry a second chance, I didn't like it as a kid, but maybe I'll be able to appreciate it now.
Good stuff.
Honestly that's pretty cool that he cared enough to read it, I'm sure he must have gotten a lot of stuff from fans. Who knows, maybe reading Camus left an impression on him and from that point on, even if only in a small way, you might have influenced his future works.
Definitely not, that's a super normal thing people do all the time.
Joseph King
I'm not even sure her place is known to be honest. I went to her editor, I think you can give it to them, they will then hand it over to her. You can even add a small thank you in the book, it will give it an added value as well. What is the book that you want to give?

What's the excerpt say? I've read TMoS and I'm curious what part she wanted to tweet
Joshua Johnson
but i gave up and i've finally gotten along with the hoplessness
Joseph Davis
>calling a male her
Just like you do with your mom.
Parker Ortiz
It is in TMoS' first chapter (An absurd reasoning) : Camus describes the "awakening" one experiences when he realizes the absurdity of the everyday life and its habits. You can then either go back and try to fit as well as you can in those rythms, or embrace absurdity, which leads to suicide or healing.
Robert Nguyen
Is it just me or is the clown world / honkler meme basically just this absurdism?
Dominic Sanchez
Kayden Perry
Why does the series now just remind me of the dreams I abandoned
Lincoln Harris
The series is so good that it compells you to create something of equal beauty, but then you realize you'll never make anything so amazing and then you just feel worthless. I'm not the only one, right?
Noah Hall
Is this Shimeji Simulation? I was gonna wait until there was a little bit more to read it. Is there more noose advice for when my gravity of all my poor life solutions finally hits me?
Gabriel Brown
It is Shimeji Simulation, though this is a joke edit, honestly it is really good, but very strange, I'd recommend it, plus you get the tater cameos.
Try to get along with hopelessness instead
By the way pic related is another edit of SS, though strangely enough, in this case the original is weirder.

getting along with it staves off the inevitable and eventually your fuck-ups are constantly beaten into your head by your own brain.
Charles Long
If your fuck-ups are constantly beaten into your head then you have not gotten along with hopelessness, if you get along with it, that means you acknowledge your fuck-ups, yet you don't despair because of them, you learn to live with them.
I know it's not really doable for real people and not perfect fictional potatoes, but it's good to at least pretend things are fine, you feel better that way
Please don't kill yourself, even if there is no civilisation on the top level.
Noah Russell
I love myself pretty well, but I just wish I knew how to form lasting, meaningful relationships with people who actually care about me. I'm charismatic enough to become at least well acquainted with most of the people I interact with day-to-day, but it seems like if I try to go beyond that level, I have to put in all the effort and get no reciprocity. Pic related, and so I stay a hermit.
Tyler Garcia
Asher Price
Is that fucking tumblr?
Out of those only the third and last one are good.
David Edwards
This is one of those miracles of a perfect adaptation.
If only they made an OVA with the rest of the manga and the ending in the same quality.
Including aliens rescuing them.
Jaxon Roberts
>Including aliens rescuing them.
that would not be bad but I think it would kill the meaning of the manga
Liam Gomez
That would be a silly ending and defeat the point of the manga. The girls entering the Simulation by waking up in a field of wheat would be kino, though.
Alexander Watson
It's time to let go
Isaac Jenkins
Would someone be able to post a picture of Chito wearing her camera? Not holding it, just hanging there.
Easton Walker
"It" is double suicide.
Jackson Robinson
if i saw the ending animated i might unironically kill myself
reading the manga was bad enough that i was drinking myself to sleep for a week
Liam Cruz
Read it last night and cried myself to sleep.
What were they to each other? Sisters, cousins or friends?
Adrian Evans
to me they're incredibly close sisters
Charles Miller
Shimeji Simulation is canon, it's the best cope, holy shit what I would give to see them in that field animated.
Welcome to the club buddy, it's never explicitly stated, but my interpretation is that they are adoptive sisters, probably war orphans adopted by the grandpa, I think they aren't related since Chii looks asian and Yuu white, but with manga/anime you never know, blonde hair and blue eyes could be a jap as well. Either way, they were very close sisters and the very last humans potatoes
Now the next step for you is Shimeji Simulation, trust me, it'll help make you feel better ;)
Nolan Flores
fear not i am reading it
god damn is it slow to update tho
Michael Richardson
I doubt any amount of healing can happen if this gets animated.
Nathaniel Cox
Does anyone have the pic of the final page of SSR (looking at the cube) - with words from the author in the top right that say "Life is beautiful" or something along those lines?
Cooper Ross
Lincoln Smith
hmm its not that one, i remember something else as i described
thank you anyway tho, ill grab this one too
Colton Lopez
This is the cube, but the afterword is with the field: see
Adrian Reyes
it must have been a fan edit or i'm tripping
it was this cube and the added info box was quite short
Jaxon Green
I went through the afterwords, this one talks about life, perhaps it is the one you meant and you just mixed it up with the cube in your head? With that said it would seem that online, volumes1 to 4 are the official translations, but nobody scanned the official tls of vol 5 and 6, so we have the scanslations instead, those seem to include the afterword for 6, but not 5, unless i missed it, so maybe something with the vol 5 afterword, i dunno
Liam Murphy
Forgot the pic
Humans mix up and make up memories all the time, it's not that weird, could have been an edit as well
Juan Hernandez
i swear i saw someone post it in a old thread, but don't worry about me no need to search for on my behalf
the afterword was different too because i remember the exact line "life is beautiful" appearing and neither of those afterwords have that
is reality even real anons
Jack Collins
Why is this picture so erotic?
Jordan Ward
There is another translation of the last afterword, but that doesn't have it either.
The last idea I have is that it could be this line from the final chapter, it's probably my second favourite from the series after getting along with hopelessness. I think there may be a second translation and maybe maybe it has the wording life is beautiful, but I'm not sure and I can only find this tl now.
Jaxson Miller
im just going to accept that my memory is warped
thanks for trying user
Adam Collins
Afterward to vol. 4 of the manga:
>Why do wars continue to exist... Why are humans unable to live in equality... While reading various books, I've thought about this.
>"Let's research a bit," I've thought, and investigated... or conversely, fantasized about ideals... I don't understand. In the end, I begin to hate everything.
>I am tired from thinking.
>Perspectives which cause one to wander in circles too much probably don't lead to much happiness.
>I want to live while feeling nothing but the texture of persimmons from the persimmon tree in my parent's garden.
What is it about her writing that hits me right in the soul?
Brody Perez
I think it's everything about his writing, everything, the art too.
The zetsubou, the attempts to get along with it the failure to do so
Luke Adams
The world can be frustrating and the bad parts can overwhelm you. Sometimes you have to take different routes just to manage it all but failure is always around the corner. Ride the wave and do what you can
Wyatt Nguyen
The world can be cruel and life can be painful, but you have to just get through it, because if yoi don't, you won't get to read the next chapter of Shimeji Simulation, and that means not getting to see the happy taters.
Christian Sanchez
Xavier Jackson
Is it weird if I found this series to be 'life changing'? I remember watching the anime and then I immediately went and read the manga. Afterwards I felt pretty sad and I went and listened to my favourite song and sat and cried in my chair for 15 minutes. I was just totally blown away by the story. Its like I had forgotten where I was in my life and forgot how important the small things are that I was taking for granted for so long. Was this sort of the point? I seriously loved it more than anything else. Also this is the song I was talking about, unrelated to the anime: youtube.com
Ryan Rogers
I dont get how they can peacefully die in the end, they ran out of food, starvation with or without water. Thats a suffering death. They didnt die peacefully.
Michael Reed
one of them has to die before the other too
imagine the pain and suffering the other has to endure before they go too
Connor Adams
Cavafy's great. Check out the poem 'Windows'. Good stuff, would pay debts.
Ryder Myers
I like to think that they simply tell asleep beside each other and never woke up.
Asher Murphy

Zachary Anderson
i read that freezing to death to is a peaceful way to go out
you just close your eyes

Ryan Walker
In a way I always wanted to imagine that someone passes by when they wake up and takes them to somewhere safe but its probably wishful thinking.
Gavin Taylor
Same
Leo Mitchell
I think some people are just more "connected" to stories than others. When I read something of similar quality to SSR it will often fuck me up for a scary amount of time. Sometimes stories can just sort of crystallize feelings and thoughts that are inside you but not really apparent.
Currently, Sora no Woto is fucking destroying me.
Aaron Jackson
Cavafis is so good, he can make you feel uplifted with stuff like this or despair with something like "The City":
You said: “I’ll go to another country, go to another shore,
find another city better than this one.
Whatever I try to do is fated to turn out wrong
and my heart lies buried like something dead.
How long can I let my mind moulder in this place?
Wherever I turn, wherever I look,
I see the black ruins of my life, here,
where I’ve spent so many years, wasted them, destroyed them totally.”
You won’t find a new country, won’t find another shore.
This city will always pursue you.
You’ll walk the same streets, grow old
in the same neighborhoods, turn gray in these same houses.
You’ll always end up in this city. Don’t hope for things elsewhere:
there’s no ship for you, there’s no road.
Now that you’ve wasted your life here, in this small corner,
you’ve destroyed it everywhere in the world.
Joshua Wright
>Now that you’ve wasted your life here, in this small corner,
>you’ve destroyed it everywhere in the world.
Why would you call me out like this, Cavafy...

You're not the only one.
I think that people who are miserable in real life tend to depend on escapism and since fiction tends to be just that, it affects those people more that it should. I'm that kind of person
The zetsubou connects us all, I agree these are great threads.
That honestly is a powerful line, gives me strong feels. Not only is tkmiz's writing and art great, but the english translations were good and I'm glad his words are so powerful even when translated.
Read it, the end may be emotionally difficult to read, but it is very well done and after you're done, go on to Shimeji Simulation, it'll make you feel better, trust me.

Have you considered music as a pathway to fulfillment? I've been picking up piano after not having played it since high school, and I really wish I'd never stopped. The skills I used to have are long gone, and old pieces I had mastered are now a real struggle to even get the notes right - but it's a beautiful thing, music. Cathartic.
If you've got nothing else in life, consider taking up an instrument. Even if you're no good at it, you'll get better, and it's a nice way to let the emotions out.
Juan Barnes

Easton Rivera
I think you're right, but it doesn't need to be just music, learning any skills is good.
Wise words.
Don't worry, gotta wait for SS.
Past failures aren't a good justification to forever lose hope, it may be hard, but there is nothing good you can do besides trying over and over again and hopefully one day you'll achieve at least a part of what you want in life.
Robert Cruz
It's over.

John Ramirez

Logan Hernandez
>being a normie
Tyler Peterson
No, they are potatoes.
Asher Garcia
And proud, with supreme confidence. Normies like iyashikei too.
Anthony Mitchell
Depression isn't always caused by life getting rough - sometimes it's a lack of meaningful events, or a dwindling number of friends, or the gradual realization that your own life is insignificant and holds very little value or meaning. I think this differs from the other kind of depression, which is brain chemicals doing weird shit that makes even a normie turn into a sad sack. Be thankful that you don't suffer from these worries.
For some people (probably quite a few anons here), thinking too hard about life only leads to a negative spiral of contemplating how pointless existence is. I like to think that at least a few of the people that hang out in these threads are being helped by this kind of discussion - the important thing is coming to terms with how you view your life and accepting it for what it is.
It may be zetsubou central in here, but at least we can experience it together.
Jace Price
im really feeling this
doing "nothing" is what has caused me to end up the way i have

Super wishful thinking user. It took them a long time to even walk up that final spiral staircase, let alone the days of riding it took them on the upper most floor that was mostly barren.

Nathaniel Ramirez
I have an internet buddy I've been friends with for over 10 years ago that is exactly like that, he gets scared as fuck just from thinking about the future if he's left to his own devices for too long. Which is weird because he is doing pretty well from himself career/money wise. He's even turned into a normie and gotten married.
I dunno I guess people are just built differently. I;m 35 and I've lived with my parents my whole life helping support them/leeching off of them. I've worked dead end shitty jobs since I was 15 years old and haven't had a real life friend since high school and actively turn down any sort of friendly/romantic advancements made at me while I'm out working. But I never get any thoughts like that or anxious about the future or that crippling loneliness.
Liam Parker
I'm holding out for Matrix-tier virtual reality. I'd be content living it out in a pod if it meant that I could have the freedom of interaction it granted. Although I really just want to find a girl as cynical and misanthropic as myself to wallow in misery with.
Blake Stewart
You would be surprised how many ''normies'' suffer from clinical depression
Some ofc love their depression status so much that they just can't let go and never show any signs of Improvement no matter what, is that your idea of clinical depression maybe?

William Sanders
>Matrix-tier virtual reality
this is part of my problem, though
See, I despise life so much because in my dreams I can do and be whatever I want. My dreamspace is like a paradise, a heaven I will never be able to emulate in real life, so why should I try? Why should I put any effort in living, when it'll never be as exciting, good and fulfilling as my dreams?
I wish I was immortal and almighty like I am in my dreams. But even with all the knowledge and technology we have today, it's still impossible.
Maybe virtual reality will allow me to reach that place I yearn for, but even I doubt it when I see the current state of our world. I'll most probably die from a disease before, or I'll die starving when climate change hits us at full power.
There is no hope for me. Only my dreams... and even they are a poison killing me slowly
Dominic Rogers
No, that's when everyone gets bitchy and upset. See our current civilization. Sure, there are some conflicts, but has it been more peaceful and stable at any point in history?
Henry Jones

Alexander Flores
People thought the same thing about computers 50 years ago. I think VR would solve a lot of things - less resources and space would be needed for a person dreaming in a pod, and if identity politics keeps pouring shit onto everything, then it would be a nice way to escape from your own identity and become who you think you should be.
I stopped by in the VR threads on /vg/ a couple of times, it seems like anons are already getting together and having a good time despite the limited technology, so it would only be more comfy once we're able to jack in completely.
Technology marches on, regardless of anyone's wishes. I think we'll see good VR in the next 20-30 years, and life extension medical science should keep us ticking over well past 100 by that point. At the very least, I'd recommend reading some good sci-fi books, like Iain M Banks' works - your imagination could give the sense of godlike escapism you need, at least until the time comes to be uploaded into the Simulation.
The only reason I don't fall too deep down the rabbit hole is because I have aspirations or delusions, hard to tell the difference, but being stuck in a purgatory of not being able to afford a house yet is one of the reasons I'm here, sharing the feeling of hopelessness with others.

because the things i truly desire are straight up 100% impossible

You still believe the West will be economically and politically stable in 20 to 30 years? Grow the fuck up idiot, storms are getting wilder every year, drought in the summer only get harsher, snow falls less and less (until one big storm that paralyzes the whole country for weeks) and wildlife is dying left and right.
You seriously think we have the time and luxury to develop VR? are you that delusional?
Austin Allen
why would you argue for?
in all honesty why do you care?
Benjamin Anderson
Same for me, but you should know that we were not born with these desires. They stem from an indulgence in a medium and a culture that idealizes them, coupled with our own self-denying complexes. If being a self-hating fuck spending years on Yea Forums and watching cute girls anime can make you desire to be a cute girl, what makes you think you can't change again?
Hudson Cox

I really don't care about someone using reddit spacing, I just don't like people typing like niggers.

That's just silly. What matters are the thoughts and ideas conveyed, not the means of conveying them.

But the existence of modern comforts and needs being met doesn't directly facilitate their fulfiment and they can in fact be detrimental because of how detached a modern person in a 1st world country can become from everything that could be meaningful. Relying on God has nothing to do with how well your physical needs are met, since they do nothing to fulfil your other needs.

Josiah White
Yes, it's the same for me. But most of the threads will be filled with anons expressing a wish to be a giant slut, or rape fantasies, or whatever. Which makes me think their desires are nothing but sexual fantasies, and not something they'd actually want.
Oliver Campbell
to me , becoming a "average" anime schoolgirl would be truly the best; they're happy, they have friends, they're loved by their family, they look cute, they're good at studies, they're not mentally ill, the list goes onand well the yuri aspect could be classed as a sexual fantasy but honestly to me its the purest form of love there is

Austin Barnes
I can only speak for myself, but for me it's an ideal in the most literal sense. I have no desire to become a 3D woman, because 3D women are flawed in much the same way I am.
Xavier Price
I guess tkmiz threads tend to attract people that think alike. don't they? By all objective standards I have a comfortable life, at least relative to the majority of people that live and have ever lived, yet I do nothing with this amazing gift, I'm wasting my life and that makes me misarable. The fact that I alone am to blame for my despair is what makes me hate myself even more and that makes me despair more, it's a cycle. I try to convince myself to be positive, it is said that a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth, so I try to lie to myself that I'll do better next time. So far it's not happening
I've noticed it too, ironic suicidal meme shitposting in normie circles is truly the pinnacle of shit, also the glorification of mental illness that seems to be going on everywhere is also discusting. Don't get me wrong, I know anons here talk about depression and the like very often, that's ok, but not glorifying it, like it's some sort of medal or trophy.
Am I the only one here that's very uncomfortable with the idea of living in the Matrix? To me it's not comfy or freeing, it sounds terrifying.
Yes they did confirm it, but you could argue that they might be unreliable narrators.
Isn't it kind of strange, that once you get along with it, something that may seem objectivly uncomfy and bad bececomes so comforting? Human minds are very strange things, aren't they?
When you have everything you value nothing and when you have nothing you value everything.
The inevitable war sounds kind of comfy, doesn't it though?
This, you can condition yourself to change, even if it may be difficult.
Jaxon Garcia
i didn't mean it in a bad way i just meant that if you're born a male and somewhere along the line you start thinking you're female - something has gone wrong in your brain - ie, mental illness
tkmiz is cool with me tho
Elijah Parker
Well my best advice then is to spend your time convincing yourself that after death you are gonna be reborn as a 2d anime girl. Then kys.
This way you will achieve a happy death, the ultimate goal of concient beings. How does my plan sound?
Why not a 2D man though?
Carson Cook
When people say they want to be anime girls, I always think of it as wanting to have no/minimal flaws and wanting to live in an idealised world, not necessarily wishing to be female please tell me this place isn't infested with trannies, I know a lot of people talk about that stuff, but I hope most are just shitposting. Also and that may be just me, but I'd rather just have an anime girl gf, than being an anime girl myself.
I mean ultimately, the dream would be to come to terms with real life, do a lot of self improvement, somehow get a 3d gf that's actually nice, and do the whole staring a family thing. I have a feeling I'll never achieve that
I agree with this guy, gender dysphoria is clearly a mental illness, I think the way it's being pushed these days is really fucked up, but that doesn't mean I hate the people who suffer from it, if anything I feel bad for them and wish they could just come to terms with who they are instead of fucking with their bodies.
Tkmiz is always cool
Reminder that there is no actual reason to think that Tkmiz is trans, using a female avatar doesn't mean anything, lots of men just do that normally on the internet.
Kevin Murphy

Long-term isolation and personality disorders often come with identity diffusion, which can very well do away with a serious gender identity, making the swap to something more beautiful altogether a positive notion, since you don't really have any meaningful identification with being a man. Especially if it's an idealised world, there's nothing negative about it, so I can very well see why many anons would fantasize about it and willingly want it.
It's of course not gender dysphoria in the end, since there's no serious disorder between your identity and reality. I'm sure there's plenty of trannies wishing they were little girls, but I doubt most are transgendered at all.

It is that, but it's also wanting to be female. This is different from being a tranny, I think most of us recognize that being a normal man is better than being a tranny. My order of preference for what I'd want to be goes something like 2D girl > 2D trap > 3D girl > 2D male > 3D male > 3D tranny.

Ethan Ward
It doesn't matter what you call it, that's just semantics, you should get along with it either way, but I understand the way you feel about not wanting to be an attention whore.
The girls made good use of it, don't cry because it' over, smile because it happened and so on.
I think I get what you're saying, basically you don't have gender dysphoria, but you recognize 2d girl as a "better form of existing", sort of like how a little kid might want to be superman, because he has fantastical powers, yet that doesn't mean the kid is mentally ill.
Normal shimeji are edible I think, but you can't eat those on shimeji-chan's head, that would be like eating shimeji-chan and I can't let you do that user.
I disagree, I think they set the mood, their appearance basically marked the shift from comfy post apocalyptic adventures to full zetsubo towards the end of the story, they showed that this really was the end of humanity and they gave an excuse for nuko to leave the girls, it would be akward if nuko went with them all the way to the top because then what would it do, nukos don't eat food so it probably wouldn't starve, it would just ruin the mood in the final chapters.
Ayden Thompson
This was good thread, though even more hopelessness-filled then usual.
We've one again pretty much reached the bump and image limits, it's nice to see that people contribute to these threads so much

It's slightly more complex than that. I do think being a 2D girl is objectively better than being 3D of either sex. I don't think that being a 3D girl is objectively better than being a 3D guy, though, I would just prefer the former to the latter.
I don't think gender dysphoria is a well-defined concept--taking the DSM literally, I do meet the criteria. I think in practice saying that a male "has gender dysphoria" or "is trans" just means his preferences in 3D go female > tranny > male or tranny > female > male. Because trannies are objectively inferior to intact males and females, those sets of preferences are associated with other mental illnesses. For me it's female > male > tranny, which technically qualifies as gender dysphoria but isn't the type of case the concept was formulated to deal with.
Nolan Cruz
I'm not a tranny. But I think girls are beautiful and I also want to be beautiful. I'd like to keep my dick though, that's very important to me.
