Otaku Altar To Open in Osaka, Japan

An Osaka company has announced the opening of a new "Altar For Otaku", where fans can hold traditional Japanese funerals for their favorite anime/game/2D characters, mourn idol groups that break up, or hold other traditional ceremonies (weddings, anniversaries, etc.) related to otaku/geek culture.

The venue, called Amagarasu, will officially open in January, a short walk from Namba Station in Osaka. Official Twitter

Didn't understood why so many people liked fullmetal alchemist until earlier today when I tried watching some and one of the first scenes of the blonde kid is him being an overly edgy Reddit atheist lmaoooo

All these years I thought him holding the notebook open was a scene from late in the series where he has to confront his old beliefs but no. THE MOST POPULAR FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST PFP IS LITERALLY THE PROTAGONIST AFTER ZERO PERSONAL GROWTH.

So far, the fanbase ranks a number one on completely missing the point of the artpiece they idolize

P.O.V. You're me as a tween girl coming home to my family house after another school weekday going onto YouTube Dot Com and looking for videos to watch in the search bar for atleast an hour before going to do your homework on the couch(Please note that these obviously arent the exact words I typed atleast but that I just remember looking for them)!!☆(0////0):

"Happy Wheels Let's Play"• Animation Meme Cringe Compilation"•"How To Draw Anime And Manga"•"'It's Not Like I Like You!!' Tsundere Song"•"Vocaloid"/"Utauloid"•"Markiplier/"Jacksepticeye"/"Pewdiepie Meme Review"/"CrankGamePlays"/"CoryXKenshin"•"Aphmau Mystreet Minecraft Roleplay"•"Reacting To Sans Fangirls Killing Videos"•"Starco Comics" are a couple of examples that come to mind♡.

(Btw I don't know if any significant stuff has happened or whatever if anything but please note I don't support Pewds anymore, I was just a dumb child who didn't know he was racist).

Like yesterday or so, I watched a videos about "Rent-a-Girlfriend" and it's crazy how this series is both hated by loser Andrew Tate wanna be's and by feminists.

The loser brigade hate it for Kazuya being too much of a simp and a cuck

And the feminists hate it for Kazuya being too much of a misogynist and a creep.

Long story short

Everybody hates Kazuya

I think that the presence of male characters in Utena was a significant part of what prevented it from having a significant otaku dudebro fanbase

(also it was Too Fucking Weird for many of them but that's not the point of this post)

The absence of male characters in so many contemporary anime, from K-On to Revue Starlight (arguably Madoka also fits that definition because who even is Kyousuke?), really is a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, not having hetero romance thrown at you can be refreshing, and it may allow for some truly good character writing for these girls, sometimes (not always) it allows for Gender Stuff to happen and that's all well and good.

On the other hand, that absence of male characters allows (predominantly heterosexual) male viewers (and otakus in particular) to be much more possessive of these shows’ characters.

Since there’s no male character standing in the way between them and the characters, that possessiveness is much easier. Of course you also find that in Idol culture and Love Live! and all of these other shows come to mind.

If you ever look for doujins for any of these shows on a site other than Dynasty Reader (and I don’t understand why you’d ever want to do that), the quantity of faceless reader-insert male characters (which makes projecting oneself supposedly easier, I guess) truly is astounding. This is what so many of these fans want.

The people producing these shows, these franchises, are all plenty aware of that absence of male characters and what it implies for its audience. It’s not just a creative decision, it’s a business practice. It makes selling your product to adolescents and adults with disposable income that much easier.

Utena has boys and men. It tells an uneasy and oft uncomfortable story. You, as an audience member, are not really invited to possess these characters, the show has one or two things to say about possessiveness, too. I'm guessing that acted as some sort of repellent for a certain crowd. I am glad that it did.

It's been fascinating, watching people like Naoko Yamada and Tomohiro Furukawa walk that tightrope between selling a product and actually telling an uncompromised story about girls (and the tensions in Furukawa's work are much more salient in that regard).

The Bloom into You anime has a more diverse cast of characters and features plenty of homosociality, but since it is more grounded and some of its characters happen to be male, since Yuu and Touko are in what is explicitly a relationship, since they are not very moé, the BluRay sold well but it never made Bocchi money or RevStar money (which isn't to say that these shows are bad, they are really quite good, but they are also much easier to market to an otaku audience). Also yes, the anime landscape and its market have obviously changed significantly between Utena and K-On, I'll get back to that point in a later post.
