I'm not personally interested in it, but it does look to have a ton of content. With the creators involved I would expect it to be pretty queer though.

I'm hoping for the biggest sack of WTF shitflinging insanity since "OUR LOVE IS REAL"

Maybe if they do something retarded enough to start the whole gamer gate fuckcycle again, but I'm not counting on it.
>>78156506
Hmmm... Interest level just piqued.
>>78157656
Man, there's a lot of talent in the book. Like Atwood, obviously, but even some early cartoonists like Roberta Gregory.
I genuinely don't get how this offensive or improper in any way. I'm not going to buy the book, but as a romance/crush/dating anthology by geeky creators I do not get the problem with it existing.
>>78156345
Why do girls think they can be nerd/geeks?
Why are so many girls these days calling themselves nerds/geeks to be trendy and quirky?
Why does every girl on Tinder put "GAMER/GEEK GURL XD" in their bio? Yeah okay, you own a ps4 and you play Dark Souls, you're a total geek now.
Why do women want to associate themselves with a introverted subculture, when they really can't truly be what you would actually define a "nerd/geek" to be? Women need to be social, men don't, you can even see one of these girls taking a fucking selfie in this picture.
I just don't get this sudden fascination girls suddenly have with desperately trying to be nerdy/geeky.
>>78157861

>geek girls
They don't exist...
>>78157861
>>78157894

>>78157894
It's just, strange you know? 15-20 years ago being a nerd was viewed as deviant and "lame", and generally autistic. So in 10 years is liking MLP and being a furry going to be trendy too?
>>78157904
They exist, but they're just like Geek Men.
Have you ever seen a fat ham planet in an invader zim hoodie? That's a geek girl.
These are trendies.

>>78158019
Can confirm. I try to stay somewhat fit though. Home gym.
The concept of geek culture is retarded.
It was retarded in the 90s when dudes did it, and it's retarded when everyone is doing it now.
If you like something, you like it. It shouldn't be some kind of status symbol.
>Lol, I'm such a nerd, I've seen Star Wars like once on MTV

But...you're right? Pic related aren't gamer girls they're just bitches who want to be trendy because they're decently attractive and pretty boring so they use their nerd knowledge to give themselves a few more attraction points.

Simpler times.
>>78158146
If you don't know Atwood you're smalltime as fuck. Go read the MaddAddam books and come back when you got educated, philistine.
If you care about being considered a nerd enough that it irritates you when other people tell you that you aren't one or say that they are then you're probably an extremely boring person who needs to get a better sense of identity, this applies to men and women.

>>78158120
No, it made sense back in the day because the label helped you find people who would be interested in the same things you did because there wasn't a whole ton of things to digest and there was a lot of overlap
Nowadays though there's too many things to be a fan of for "geek" or "nerd" to mean anything. We could both call ourselves geeks but I love tabletop gaming and you watch science fiction from the 80s. People are jaded with "fake geek culture" because they expect to be able to find someone that shares their interests when they hear someone call themselves a geek
But that's their fault, not the "fake geek"s

My grandpa was in the Waffen SS.
Most of his good memories came from eating and having the best pickings of plunder with the least resistance because he was driving officers around right behind the main troop movements whenever they advanced.
That's the small window when the infantry's either ahead with the tanks or still trying to catch up and the people whose houses they emptied out had not yet dared to return home.
>>78157698
Not suggesting that it is offensive or improper. No problem with it existing.
But it's a envogue political topic. Having seen nothing but the cover, I really don't know what it is. Predictable girl power retreads. A sack of tumblrcrap. A glorified political pamphlet. Lightweight sci fi of the kind the Hugo voting block likes. Shojo girls in love homage.
Could be any of that. Could be something new. But I'm expecting something closer to POWER UP than anything I will either enjoy, or enjoy seeing crash and burn.
>>78157904
High power level geek girls are real. They just tend to have the same glomping tomoko/jabba the hut social skills as the geek guys. The twitchy twiggy crosseyed freak ordering yaoi direct from the comicet author, and would stab a bitch for not knowing their Utena from their Stephen universe? Still geek girl.

tl;dr:
Liberal feminist goes to a thankgiving dinner and refuses turkey because she's a vegetarian.
Alpha republican man who hasn't been been brainwashed by feminist ideology makes a snarky comment
Feminist's panties get absolutelly drenched as she sees what "toxic masculinity" is like and later abandons herself to the patriarchy
Meanwhile, her beta liberal fiance waits for her at home
Is it the sequel to this awful, boring piece of shit or do the tumblrites just all draw precisely the same?

You're shit at damage control mate. The story is basically that she thought the conservatives were more masculine and dominating but at the end of the day he's got a tiny cock and is spurts prematurely. He doesn't even act macho about it, he runs off and hides. The beta husband meanwhile impregnates the woman and carries his genetic material to the next generation. How could you even interpret that as pro-conservative, are you retarded?

And the fake geek girls hate it. It's gotten scathing articles written about it by the usual hambeasts on kotaku.
>>78174237
tumblrjanes gets into the supernatural around issue 6. Typical magical-girl horseshit where Apollo and Diana are teens visiting a summer camp for mortals and there's wishing and powers going around.
>>78162186
Just read Watamote.
>>78175745
I've never seen fake geek girls hate this. Why would they?
>>78156345
That one girl not shaving her legs or something?
>>78175983
Because she's objectively a horrible person.
>>78175745
I am actually like halfway behind on this, need to catch up
Please tell me it didn't turn into "cute girls doing cute things with hikkikomori stuff forced inbetween for laughs" like Umaru-chan
>>78175983
Because it hits too close to home.
To ba fair though the Kotaku writer who called Watamote "The most mean-spirited anime I've ever watched" is a man.
>>78176020

Tomoko is directly based on the highschool days of the writer and artist.

Bokurano is too dark; Shadow Star is closer to the average level of misery that a lot of shows had in the early-to-mid 2000s.
>>78176062
Have you ever met a high school girl? That doesn't disprove my point at all.
>>78176094
Narutaru is great and all but if you actually read the article, the problem he had with the anime was that people are laughing at real issues people with mental illness experience. There isn't anything fake geek about it; you actually have to immerse yourself in the culture and watch the show to get to the point of reviewing something like this.
Also it's delicious clickbait. "What? This guy doesn't like the anime we all like? How come?"
>>78158004
Thank you, these are twee loving artfags trying to be as nerdy as possible. It's the same on tumblr when a really cute girl has mediocre art but knows how to dress well, takes great selfies and actually has social skills.
Then you have certain fags on /ic/ who go "womenz can't into art" and they can, they're just rarely going to be that cute hipster girl with the beret and nice tumblr. It's usually going to be the fat goth chick or the mousy unkempt awkward mess.

Well, that made me go track the article down to read it for myself.
Your summary is precise, but I can't help but feel like I'm still right; if some black humor and a little Fremdscham about social anxiety and depression is enough for him to say that it's making light of them (or that it's the "most mean-spirited" anime he's ever seen) then he's just got a low threshold for that sort of thing in general.
Now I can write a clickbait article, too:
"My First Trip Back to Kotaku Since 2012, and It Was as Shitty as Ever"
>>78176303
Shoujo italics.
>>78176316
I don't know how anybody could hate it
>>78176273
but what if it has a sci fi twist or something
i mean it cant be a total self fellating wankfest can it
>>78176344
But Narutaru is a serious drama that handles dark themes very well for the most part and shows what depression can lead to without making it something funny. Watamote plays something serious for laughs.
>>78176303
just girl things
>>78176352
I've seen trendy geek types say it's just pseudo-masturbation fodder for neckbeards to jerk off to seeing an "unrealistic" awkward woman being treated badly or some stupid shit like that.

>>78176276
Not that anon but the simple fact that we're calling it Watamote and not "I'ts Not My Fault I'm Not Popular" means it isn't mainstream. Mainstream anime goes by english titles because casuals can't into subs.

>>78176397
It's literally just 250 pages of women talking about relationships with a veneer of geekiness painted over it because that's what gets women attention these days.
>>78176517
Watamote is shorter. Being lazy is mainstream and I ain't weeb enough to type all that out.

>but what if it has a sci fi twist or something
Then sadly, it probably wouldn't have the title it does.
When a story isn't about thinly-veiled autobiographical slice of life crap it doesn't usually have to be sold on the basis of its gender focus. To put it another way, a story about guys can be about them running off to be pirates in space or time traveling or something. A story about girls has to be about the girls having relationships. It might have a tiny bit of sci-fi or fantasy flavoring, but the actual core is going to be "relatable" and, as you said, self-fellating 90% of the time.

Nah man, it's an "anthology" because for some reason women can't into floppies.
...Probably because we call them floppies.

If any of this were true then you obviously wouldn't count as one of the kinds of people popularized in >>78156345\ and would be old and mature enough to realize this and get on with your life.

That sounds incredibly annoying, but at least you've got a little extra geek cred.

They must have no sense of humor whatsoever, that's the fucking joke; nobody ever actually treats her bad. It must make them uncomfortable with how realistic Tomoko's awkwardness is, I guess. Plus her rape-y faces.
>>78156345
I can't wait for them to make obscure reference to games like ocarina of time and then fight the evil goobers gaders

The only article we've seen is about how Kotaku's readership loves it but one guy doesn't because muh mental illness isn't funny.
>>78176432
that's so dumb!i'm a woman and a feministand when i was 15 i was basically tomoko, just less perverted. but stuff like ordering a burger, taking pictures in a photobooth, not knowing how to navigate a victoria's secret, barely having any friends due to my my toxic personality but blaming everybody else instead... totally me! male geek characters get this kinda treatment all the time, but watamote is one of the few times i've seen a "geek girl" character have the same kinda toxic personality AND get her just desserts for it.
really can't think of any western examples except for maybe enid coleslaw and helga pataki, which is funny because both of them despite being deeply flawed get idolized on tumblr and the like for being 'feminist icons' - though perhaps this is because they are portrayed in a more fleshed out and human way than female characters typically are. if this is so, then tomoko is a feminist icon too - feminists should want more honest depictions of women, even if they're unflattering or unpleasant. we're gross and awful too and i don't think that's shown enough...
>>78177031
>feminists should want more honest depictions of women, even if they're unflattering or unpleasant. we're gross and awful too and i don't think that's shown enough...
pfft hahahahahahaha yeah okay
That's why Harley Quinn has to be a heroic role model now.
>>78177031
You poor woman. What internalized misogyny you must have. Showing that women can be unflattering or unpleasant or gross or toxic isn't feminist. Feminist depictions of women means showing them beating up guys and complaining about mansplaining.
>>78177048
I'm done
>>78177090
No, seriously.
>>78176645
>>78177048
It's amazing how this mentality has extended into actual creative works as well.

Do you think they realised that this line is literally saying he's right but just ignore it?

There needs to be an edit of this image where it's a closeup of cleavage instead.

Yeah the TwitchTV edit.

>>78177090
I mean... mansplaining is a thing even though the term for it is kinda silly. I've definitely had men try to explain things to me as though I am a cat or small child, especially in comics settings.
But anyways, I believe in gender equality and notice the way some others are going about it is silly. The brand of feminism that annoys most folks here is trendy feminism (or "white feminism" as it's called on tumblr) that's weak tough white girl power bullshit that ignores how men, POC, etc are affected by the same societal shortfalls, just in different ways.
>>78177224

>>78177171
No it's not, mansplaining is when a man explains something to a woman in a condescending way. He is telling her the truth, but patronizing her while doing so.
>>78177268
>I mean... mansplaining is a thing
>>78177295
>He is telling her the truth,
You just said that's not what it is though.
Maybe this is why you perceive it as condescending.
>>78177295
>when a man explains something to a woman in a condescending way.
You mean the same exact thing that women do? It's almost like it's not a gendered thing, and instead something assholes do.
>>78177268
Yes, men explaining things in condescending ways happens. I've found I get much more condescending, insulting talk directed at me from women though.I'm a woman.And it's usually from those girl power feminism type women too. Nobody is as mean or insulting to women as other women are.
>>78177295
And that's cause she was being an antagonising idiot. If you are rude people are rude back, but if you are nice you can have a good conversation.
Yet when a woman is condescending we don't give it a nothing word, cause we fucking have one it is called condescending
>>78177354
something something no power
something something systematic
something different circumstances something something
>>78177369
>Nobody is as mean or insulting to women as other women are.
Yeah I'm pretty sure you're just sexist.
Which, believe me, is A-OK.
>>78177268
Isn't mansplaining when a man explains to a woman something that can be only experienced by women, like abortion, preginancy, PMS, etc...
>>78177369
This. Fuck, it's especially prevalent amongst "geeks girls". Can't count the number of times I've seen blog posts start with some variation of
>Uggh sigh, creators of [thing I find problematic], it's looks like you and me are gonna have to sit down and have a little talk
And these bitches complain about men being patronizing and condescending.
>>78177031
You should really try to source your comics from countries that aren't the US then.
>>78177420
It's more like using that tone to explain sex to a kid and that simplistic way of explaining the complex subject because they can't possibly know the basics of anything.
>>78177420
I always found that silly as like a male doctor will probably know way more. being a woman doesn't give you perfect knowledge on all of them, in fact living through them is more likely to colour your view and make it more personal knowledge rather than as a objective whole
>>78177420
Which is still dumb, since women love to consider themselves experts on what it's like to be a guy.
>>78157959
>Dark Souls

>>78177424
>Okay, sweetie. You just have internalized misogyny, hon. You're clearly just doing [thing you enjoy] to impress men. Blocked. :)
How is this not considered the most condescending bullshit ever? Especially when it's coming from a woman who should fucking realize how she's talking to other women.
>>78177424
Sitting down and having a little talk is condescending?
>>78177420
Which isn't even that difficult.
I mean shit, you'd be surprised at how many women don't even know how bras work.
>>78177492
>if you're a man, you don't know what it's like being a woman and your opinions on women's matters isn't wanted
>if you're a woman, you don't know what it's like being a man but your opinions are still listened to as if you're the expert on the subject
>>78177424
Yeah, that shit is stomach-turning. It's especially bad when people start up with that shtick and they end up missing the point completely. But even when they're right, that sort of nonsense makes me wary.
>>78177499
>How is this not considered the most condescending bullshit ever?
> it's coming from a woman
So as not to be accused of mansplaining I'm just going to suggest you look up the word "tautology"
>>78177499
Because these people are massive narcisists who can't comprehend why someone would disgreee witht them.
>>78177503
No but talking like that is.
>>78177499
Doing something to impress women is what a lot of guys get accused of doing. The rage against geek girls is also rooted in this. It's shitty no matter where it comes from.
On this subject: the term "special snowflake." Assuming someone is doing something just to be different is fucking stupid.
>>78177503
Treating others like they're children is.

Speaking as a 32 year old, finally. Finally there's someone here older than me.

>It's literally just 250 pages of women talking about relationships with a veneer of geekiness painted over it because that's what gets women attention these days.
This reminds of the time that there was a Supernatural convention at the same hotel my dad was attending a medical conference. His reaction to a mass to tumblrites was just utter bewilderment and horror.
>>78157861

It's AN, you idiot! "With AN introverted subculture!" You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong!

that actually sounds like hell. What would they even do there? Buy shitty fan merch of their OTP?

>>78177602
No she's a beautiful plus sized womym of color.
>>78177596
Pee in ball pits.
>>78177602
Yeah but it's "empowering" fat.
>>78177596
My dad avoided that part of the hotel like a hellhole, but apparently, the actors were there. So probably a shipping/fangirl fest.
>>78177555
Spoken like someone who's never had to deal with a special snowflake. If you knew what a real one was like, you'd know why false positives aren't worth crying over.

>Assuming someone is doing something just to be different is fucking stupid.
It's not just to be different. A lot of times it's also to piss off their conservative parents.
I don't get this. Hipsters have been a thing for decades. If skaters or metalheads or goths talked about poseurs, people would go "okay yeah, there are poseurs". Everyone thinks wiggers are both real, and a walking joke.
But as soon as the "nerds" point out that there are shallow people that emulate surface level subculture shit they're into, it's suddenly WHOA THERE DON'T BE A GATEKEEPER THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS PHONIES FAKE GEEKS ARE A MYTH

Oh, god, I can't help but bite.
Last Hugo winner I read was Ancillary Justice. Was that lightweight?

You fucking retard
What you call "mansplaning" is a purely sexist interpretation of oneself inability to properly argue or explain shit, implying that the sex of the person have anything to do with it. You are the sexist one, anon. I'd say misogynistic too, but sadly (and ironically) it is a sexist term that can only be applied to men.
Also I find it hilarious that you call it "white feminism" like, what the fuck? Are you telling me that the skin color of the woman change something to the validity of her argument (regardless of said argument is even about)? That a white skinned feminist voice is somehow less valuable than the one of a minority feminist? How the fuck can you even think up of such things and call yourself open minded and that you are for the defense of woman rights, when you pick and choose what is it that should be a woman?
The reason why peoples are gradually hating feminism more and more is because of your constant hypocrisy and refusal to confront this omnipresent part of 3rd wave feminism. Reread what you just posted, and if you cannot see your own hypocrisy then I'm saddened to tell you that you are part of the problem you claim to be fighting against.
Beside, how the fuck can you expect peoples to look and listen to you seriously when you cry about such inane bullshit while woman in others country are actually fighting for their rights, to the point that they life are actually under threat?
It probably was bait but given the constant influx of tumblerites and newfags to the site chance are that it isn't.
