What's so controversial about how Watamote treated social anxiety?
From Wikipedia:
>A television anime adaptation by Silver Link aired in Japan between July and September 2013. The anime adaptation received critical acclaim, particularly for the portrayal of the main character, but was also controversial in its treatment of social anxiety.

Tomoko is a fucking sellout whore who has friends.

[citation needed]
Didn't Tomoko just kept getting out and talking to people?
I have severe social anxiety and I can't even hold down a job, but that's how you get over it. Why would that be controversial?

Political correctness is all about ensuring that certain groups are completely off limits from honest analysis and criticism, being replaced instead by an echo chamber that only deals in the point of view that they're oppressed by others.
Female social outcasts are one of the groups protected by political correctness.

There you go.
Otaku didn't like Tomoko because it reminded them too much of themselves.

This, it's one of the reasons why this show flopped so hard (despite being a 7/10 at least)

You never quite realize how fucking shit that website is until you find a page you actually know a lot about on
>>141868392
That just being a pussy.
>>141868491
That just being the cause of Watamote not getting a S2, despite it's immense popularity.
>>141868477
watamote should be a 10/10.

IIRC there was some outrage that it was a comedy, which ignored the fact that tomoko was a very well-developed character anyway and throws away the long, long history of finding humor in unpalatable topics like mental illness.

japanese otaku,
i think western nerds tend to appreciate self depreciating humor more.

>IIRC there was some outrage that it was a comedy
i dont believe you
>>141868719
It true about that.

Bunch of SJWs trying to push an agenda, just ignore.

Because it paints it so that the MC actually tries to do something about her disability no matter how clumsy instead of wallowing in her self pity.
>>141869020
Tomoko should be someone we all aspire to be
>>141868392
that's why i like it though
>>141868118
I still think series is going to end with Tomoko killing herself.
>>141868450
some ANN fag Internet Anime Expert™ whining in a podcast does not equal "controversy"

>critical acclaim
hahahaha, no

Normies don't believe that Social Anxiety exists.
>>141869366
well thats just your opinion man
I don't get it. 4chan loved it because we mostly laugh at our own misery.
>>141869564
Fuck Normies you know how hard it is to live with social anxiety.
>>141868232
I have social anxiety and I have friends.
How Tomoko got her friends is almost exactly how I got my middle/highschool friends.
>>141868609
That's all my humor. Heh heh...I hate my life.
>>141869623
diffrent culture i suppose
>>141869933
I mean like stuff like the eltingville club
>>141869623
watamote show what it like to have social anxiety you understand what it like to live with it.
>>141870100
Sorry if my english grammar not that good.
>>141868118
I'd say the way Social Anxiety is portrayed is pretty damn accurate, if not a little exaggerated.
