While we're at it, you should try the new hotness in the field that is virtual Anthropology.

I think the moment you start calling a character your waifu or husbando, you are giving others the right to assume you are "involved" with or have feelings for said characters.
I kind of ignored it for awhile since I didn't think it'd be anything special. Boy was I wrong.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, any opinions on it, or is it something I wouldn't want to hear/know.
Understood and understandable.

Sure, I also didn't mean to imply therapy is somehow useless as a whole. I did 4 semesters of psychology and still have many friends that became therapists afterwards. I wouldn't want to discredit their work, heh. I was just pointing out to OP that being "different", even in such a weird way, does not imply a need for therapy if he's overall content with his life and there's no tangible negative effect on him or others. Sure, he lost sleep over it, but that's nothing compared to the effects other disorders have on people's lives.
Hope whatever you're sought therapy for gets sorted out by the way!
Yes =(.
it was said earlier in the thread, yes
sadly
All that really matters is that 1. you enjoy the fantasy stuff and 2. You dont lose touch with reality in doing so. As long as you maintain a grasp of what is real or not, indulge in fantasy all you want I say. Just never forget that the fantasy world is an illusion.
And by all means hit me up in PMs anytime if you need to talk
Its not harmful per se.
There is a lot of good in it.Its a very complex topic ,but please don't think that I meant to address you in a bad way or diagnose you with anything.

I just read walls and walls of text and I'm still as confused as ever..
So, let me get this straight:
You feel guilty about insulting a certian subculture, so you make this thread to apologize.
That banned member that you are even referring to in your title (a bit of an obsession here) fits into this somehow. How exactly?
Oh, and the title of this thread. What?

I know, I think people are going off the beaten path assuming things about me because of my expressive thread, understandable really. I will always keep in touch if I need to talk, thanks a lot.
I think we could be more mature than this. No I don't and can't do wife things with my wives. Which is sad, but it is okay and I accept that.
Is this avi supposed to be ironic or? Just wondering because every time I see it I get a bit uncomfortable.
Well if you are in firefox I think you can choose which picture to block, or just block me altogether if you want.
And I don't see anything wrong with that. What do you think we are not respecting them? So "normal" people who don't care about them are respecting them?

She appeared like an angel. Out of this filthy mess, she is alone. They... cannot... touch... her.
It's a GAF thread, where funny & strange things occur.
Chocolate & Vanilla
Fuck Strawberry
The video linked to OP's tag is amazing
Thread title is very literal. HolyBaikal, the member of which I obsessed about, was the catalyst to my wanting to understand certain things. The links made in a certain game brought up issue in another game, I play other game and all is well.
Well thanks for taking the time to indulge me and others about this. I just assumed there was bad light being spoken about me and wanted to correct it if I could.

Beautiful.
Making you happy doesn't make it not unhealthy or not an obsession.

funny and strange, huh? Not sure about the former, but I completely agree on the latter!
So.. Why do you like HolyBaikai so much?
That's good, I like it too. Other stuff isn't necessary if you don't want to read it, though you can read my Persona 3 LTTP if you'd like.
Great question, complicated answer, if you haven't, just read the HolyBaikal part, I think that best sums up as to why I like Holy as much as I do. Thinking about it, it really is complicated.
Its all good dude.
Like I said, personally I spend so much time at work, I have a very real grasp on reality. The world is very very real to me, but it doesnt mean I cannot enjoy anime and fantasy.
Now as for how much I spend on my anime hobbies, lets not talk about that lol.

I meant that I hope to one day experience the same level of emotional passion, not that it be as easily promted. I could imagine falling in love (which apparently I'll know when it hhappens) or witnessing the birth of my child being potential candidates. Understand that I'm more then normally "un-emotional".
Absolutely not.
I really appreciate the candidness with which you wrote this thread.
May you find a way to express your passionate energies to the world in the best way possible.
Regardless of whether others can share or understand that.
Well, sadly I strictly chrome & therefore I cannot do that. I won't block completely though as it doesn't faze me that badly.
=( I hope I didn't actually ruin Easter. Eat some chocolate and eggs, enjoy the day. I'm just getting things off my heart.
You put a huge smile on my face, thank you so much. I've been told before I can be candid, I guess it's true.

This thread should be shared with OT imo
Healthy = improve your real life.
Unhealthy = opposite of healthy
Some of us can draw the line clearly. It's wrong to assume that we can't.
Basically, the OP was struggling with some things in his life and he encountered HolyBaikals posts and her ideals and it struck a chord and really made him think about his life and it changed him.
What you need to do is create your own forum, superior to Neogaf. Where everyone like HolyBakai can speak without the fear of an Evil Lord or his Bishop delivering a harsh ban on the Holy, call it paleogaf, an old land free of the judgments that society has placed.
Don't believe, know.
Don't believe, know.
Half of it is OT, kind of. I asked EviLore a long time ago if a thread like this would be okay, a mixture of OT and Gaming, he never replied so I took it as an "okay", hehehe.
Nah, normal people or whatever don't factor into this. Let's take some of the problems associated with moe. I just don't think respecting moe characters for example would translate to well to respecting or honoring/whatever actual women due to some of the problems associating with the idea women representing childlike innocence and being sweet and adorable. Like there's a difference between liking that character archetype and that translating over to respecting actual women.
Not sure if I'm explaining myself clearly at all though.

Oh no no its fine haha. I'm just still half asleep
Phew, thank goodness. I wouldn't want to ruin anyone's day. Many laughed at thread, entertainment value is through the roofs! Laughter is nice.
Obsessive behavior is generally unhealthy. I'll throw myself with that. I obsessively surf the Internet. It is unhealthy. I can tell it is a compulsion. It makes me happy, but it doesn't make me healthy.
Person has an obsession with junk food, which is unhealthy, but it makes him/her happy. Does that make the obsession with junk food not unhealthy just because it makes the person happy?

This thread kept popping up on my Twitter feed today and I've finally taken a look and...
what is going on.
I'm so confused right now.

and what makes you the best judge on that? An obsession clouds our judgement and we naturally have a bias towards the subject.

Oh right, that's good then if he was able to draw inspiration from someone to better himself. Kudos to both.

Oh wait HolyBaibai was a female? Assuming the OP is a heterosexual male after reading this thread, this seems like a huge crush!
Now it actually makes sense. OP's obsession makes sense too, now. Crushes can be frustrating and rage inducing like gauwilbZubbubYugyukgskyvusk. I should know because I've been going back and forth with my real-life crush for the last 10 years or so. He admittedly has cool hair, but his constant demands and requests for me to wait for him have gotten tiring.

And some of us can respect both(animated and real) people though. Actually a lot of dating sims did help me to interact with real life people in a better way. Like how we need to listen first, then select the best choice to answer.
Point taken. Obsessive behavior are never healthy, you are both right.
