How come most anime is about happy, fun people, yet most anime fans are bitter shut-ins?
Cause anime about bitter shut-ins cuts too close to the bone.

The answer stems from a deep sense of self-loathing that most anime fans experience. In their own personal lives, they feel no joy, excitement, or fulfillment. There may have been potential at one point for these people to find the emotions they crave, but due to years of digging themselves further and further into a pit of despair, most don't even have a chance of experiencing these needs on their own ever again. That is where anime comes in. Watching other people experience the things they can't releases just enough dopamine to make them feel something. However, this doesn't happen when watching real people, as this just leads the viewer to become bitter that there are people out there that aren't as miserable as themselves. Anime solves this problem by allowing the viewer to dive into a world that they know isn't real, but can still make a connection to. Animators know this, so they pander to individuals with these insecurities as they know they will keep coming back for more. Anime becomes almost like a drug to them. This just makes the problem worse, as the viewer becomes more and more attached to experiences that can never be reality. Animators know this too. Just like cigarette companies used to market to kids so that they could hook life long customers, animation studios do the same to these poor individuals so they will continue to consume their content until they inevitably kill themselves.
So to answer your question, most anime is about happy, fun people because the most profitable market is the sad individual who has no other way to feel these emotions.

As a depressed loser watching happy characters do normal, fun things brings me some kind of joy. Meanwhile something more relatable like watamote hits way too close to home.

I like watching cute anime girls doing cute things. Then fap furiously to them in doujins.
