ITT: Characters that hit way too close to home
Does it get more /r9k/ than Shinji?
>>27590883
For me it's Uchiha Madara
Intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.
>>27590883
Shinji is honestly more fucked up than most of /r9k/. While he has some moments, he is less autistic and more outright traumatized (and any tendencies he has in-common with /r9k/ are caused by this).
More /r9k/ like would be Satou from Welcome to the NHK (I don't have a picture of him, unfortunately).
This guy is pretty robot, along with the rest of the series.
(anime is Shiki btw)
>>27590929
>he doesn't have a satou folder
>>27590936
Shit anime desu. Doctor was the only redeemable character.
r9k incarnate
>>27590955
>but I do have a Shinji folder that is nearly 70 images inside of my Eva folder
>>27590929
>More /r9k/ like would be Satou from Welcome to the NHK
>develops a relationship with a cute girl
>goes on a trip with his (female)senpai
>goes outside
he's a normie
>>27590960
The whole tone of it was so nihilistic and bizzarre though, even for an anime.
For me it's this motherfucker, I always try to be charismatic and do my own thing, I'm a huge pervert and treat women like play things most of the time, but when I came close to actually loving a girl I fucked it up and she left me for someone else, plus my friends are lazy retards
>>27591041
>at the threat of a million yen penalty
>out of panic because he lied to his mom about having a job and a gf when he has neither
>didn't do that for 2 years
On a side note, since Asuka shows interest in Shinji, and Shinji's dad gets lots of women, does this imply that Shinji has Chad-like aesthetics, and just doesn't realize it?
>>27591077
>I always try to be charismatic
See, you've already fucked up, sperg. Trying to be charismatic is the surest sign somebody actually is a total autist.
>>27590883
Fucking Fillmore Press/Madder Red from Bedlam. His relationship with his doctor and the dialog between them hits so close to home it hurts.
Kaiji, he's a huge failure
Was Elliot Rodger inspired by Shinji?
>>27590883
Can someone explain how Shinji hits so close to home for robots? Yeah he's fucked up but how is he relatable?
>>27591100
Probably. But it's not just aesthetics that make Chad, it's personality.

>>27591166
Because, not only is he fucked up, he is also rather pathetic, desu.
Plus, given his conditions, you would think society would pity him, but it seems to constantly shit on him instead.
>>27591166
>disenfranchised young male
>social anxiety and depression
>terrible relationship with parents
>no motivation or passion to do anything beyond exist
>complicated overwhelming relationships with women
>runs away when things get difficult
>would rather hide than confront his issues head-on
>just wants to be accepted and validated
>often dreams of dying or disappearing
>grapples with the issue of "real life vs escapism" and which one is a more valid path
>>27591232
do you think society should pity you?
>>27591277
Pity is the natural reaction to the suffering of others. Instead, society tries its hardest to make things worse for us, and even blame us for our problems, even though our problems preceded our current personalities (that is to say, we became bitter because of our problems, not the other way around).

Wat the fack where the hell is this from?
>>27592518
4th episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion. When Shinji runs away, he goes to a movie theater and this happens. What's more, when he makes that angry face, he also groans angrily. He is only 14, but he is already evidently bitter.
doesn't give a fuck and is also pissed off at everyone around her most of the time
>>27591077

That's not what happened to Dandy though.

The second reply mentions him by name.
was the creator of neon genesis evangelion a robot? or at least robot-like?
>>27592739
I came here exactly to post Saoto.
>>27592763
Anno? Yeah.
>>27592754
whoops was looking for a picture of him
>>27592763
Wiki says he was unmarried until 40.
>>27592763

Satosatosatosatosato
>>27592946
>probably gay
more like so desperate for any kind of affection that he's willing to accept it from males as well as females
>>27592946
Shinji's not gay, the fan theory that he is just tumblr shitposting.
Even if he were sexually attracted to Kaworu (he is not), then he would just be bi, because we know he is sexually attracted to Asuka and Rei.
>>27593028
>he is sexually attracted to Asuka and Rei.
Forgot to add the he seriously contemplated fucking his mom.
In that last scene of End of Evangelion, he could completely have fucked Asuka and she would have loved it. . . Or killed her. She wouldn't have cared either way. It got her going to see him passionate in some way at all. But he couldn't do it. The guy started and ended a self-absorbed fuck boy. How disgusting.
Probably Kiyoko, to be honest.
>surrounded by idiots
>actively avoids dating anyone
>sports anime protagonists a huge part of life

>>27593120
I think he just had a break down since he probably thought life wouldn't suck so much when he came back.
>>27593109
I'm not so sure about that, but there are Oedipal things going on.
>>27591152
When I saw this scene, I hated it so much!
This was just like looking into the mirror, but a younger version of myself.I'm not original, just so's you know
>>27593169
IIRC the world was still pretty much just primordial soup at the point I'm talking about, am I getting that wrong? Weren't he and Asuka basically the last people on earth?
In any case I really think she just wanted him to do SOMETHING, to "be a man" in some way. And he could never do it. He was a beta fucking faggot from day one to world's end.
Gif related was an great character
>>27593340
Didn't he strangle her though? Wasn't it that they both did what they had wanted to do before GNR happened? He strangled her and she showed affection towards him. It doesn't seem like he was a beta loser at the end at all.
>>27593340
Everyone can come back, basically, they just have to want to be people again instead of being part of the LCL hugbox.
You are right about the last line until you called him a "beta fucking faggot", because the whole reason he is beta is because he was really fucked up, and even then, he did more than most beta people could.
>>27593396
When she stroked his face he couldn't do it, he couldn't do anything. He could only strangle her or do something sexual with her (jerking off earlier in the film) when she wasn't even lucid. So when he stopped strangling her, and didn't do anything else except just sit on her and cry, I think she was absolutely right to say, "How digusting. . ."
I think you guys are missing the point of this film and the entire Neon Genesis series.

Wew Lad. It's been a minute since I've seen NGE and I didn't even recognize that scene. Time for a rewatch.
>>27593672
I recognize about everything because I basically watch Eva once every week or so (though, I haven't since last Sunday, actually).
Going to save up for the show on disc pretty soon, probably.
>would be too embarrassed to watch it in a way anyone could hear though
>>27593722
Yeah EVA fucked me up pretty bad, came to realize a lot of things about myself cause of that show.
You'd have to read it to understand why he's so much like us.
ah fuck
this hurts
It's been a month and I still can't get my head out of this movie
>>27594399
Is that Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?
Man I really need to re-watch that movie, it was so good.
Asuka for me. I have Borderline Personality Disorder, and apparently she's supposed to have it. I wasn't diagnosed until around a year ago, but her entire arc throughout Eva always resonated with me very deeply.
i approach people
i try to make nice
never once does it work
i've tried multiple approaches

>leaving work
>super shitty day

Not gonna lie, kinda fuck me up. My car is even the same color as Eva 01.
>>27594464
The movie itself is amazing, but Joel's character seems misleading. He's quiet and shy and weak, yet he always has a girlfriend.
>>27594594
Did it all come tumbling down?
Satou's thought patterns in the NHK novel hit a bit too close to home for me
>>27593120
Kill yourself shipper.
>>27591100
>>at the threat of a million yen penalty
How would this make him LESS of a normalfag?
>Asuka shows interest in Shinji
A character that girls show interest in is a normalfag.
>>27594746
>he thinks its shipping
>he doesn't realize Shinji and Asuka wanting to fugg is canon
Did you pay attention to them at all? Especially in EoE?
The closest thing to a robot character i've ever seen is Andrew Detmer.
>>27594792
Fuck off back to Evageeks.
>>27594775
Because a million yen penalty would "destroy my comfortable NEET life!"
Considering both he and Asuka are mentally ill, I am unsure. Neither of them is normal, so it would make sense that she would be less interested in normality.
its like looking into a mirror
>>27594818
Ffs, in the LCL hugbox, she tells him that she is fine with him fapping to her as long as she is the sole object of his attention. How much more fucking indicative do you we/a/boos need?
>>27594867
I'm moreso referring to you saying "could have fucked" etc. You're shipping scum. I shouldn't even be on /r9k/ anyhow.
>>27594818
No, fuckhead. He's right. Pay attention.
This isn't even about contriving some convoluted theory from scraps of nothing, the signs were present all throughout the fucking series.
>>27594817
great movie! I really want a sequel
>>27594943
I never said they could have fucked, I am saying they were clearly attracted to each other. I'm not the first guy you replied to, and I doubt that guy is still in the thread (though, I have been here since the start of it, since I am the second reply.
>>27594955
Eat shit gluesniffer. Read my above post. Fucking normalfag trash.

I just don't like shipshit. That and these threads and ostensibly this board has been cancer for years.

It's all cancer and I'm sick of this board being /soc/ and /adv/ 2.0
Anyway.
>>27594979
Okay, let's look at that post then.
>>27594943
>I'm moreso referring to you saying "could have fucked" etc.
He posed the scenario to illustrate the harsh dichotomy of Shinji and Asuka's relationship, which again was expounded upon time and time again throughout the series. He wasn't "shipping", at all. You were just jumping to conclusions and got your shit rekt.
>normalfag trash

You're just saying words now, aren't you?
>>27594835
>Because a million yen penalty would "destroy my comfortable NEET life!"
But that doesn't make him any less normalfag.
That relationship or whatever it was showed that he was a normalfag because she wanted that thing with him.
If anything the fact that she wanted that penalty to be in the contract makes him a bigger normalfag.
>>27595031
Not the guy you replied to but I agree completely. These fembot/Tinder/Omegle etc. threads need to stop shitting up this board. It's fucking annoying.
>>27595098

Definite normalfag. Sasuga. And he is a shipper, regardless of the canon. Good thing school starts again Monday for you kiddies.
>>27595031
Are you drunk? Seriously, you're all over the place.
>>27594835
>Considering both he and Asuka are mentally ill, I am unsure. Neither of them is normal, so it would make sense that she would be less interested in normality.
Mentally ill girls might have weird tastes but robot requirements are pretty steep. You have to be so un-normal that NO GIRL (mentally ill or not) will ever like you.
>>27595119
This board has been dead for years. It only gets worse.
>>27593421
thats the hilarious part about it. He constantly runs away and then when i finally decided he want to confront reality EVERYONE ELSE is deciding to live in instrumentality. The guy can't catch a fucking break
>>27595140
no, just no. being a robot is about being unable to enjoy regular life. yeah, most of us are dysfunctional to begin with. but if you literally were around girls enough and weren't just waiting for a 9/10 stacy you could probably date someone. it might be complete shit that ends with you getting cucked, but it'd likely happen. a robot is someone who isn't born to that shit so it'd never work out for them even if a girl liked them. they probably wouldn't even fug if they had the opportunity.
>>27592846

Oh woe, that I may never be seen in your eyes as worthy of sharing your presence on this board for shut-in virgins.
You're preaching to the choir, dude. Chill out.
>And he is a shipper, regardless of the canon.

>>27595031
>>27595262
Also while I'm still here, the only people who really use the term 'newfag' are over-excited /b/ children who are just stepping out into the real 4chan community for the first time. Stop trying so hard to fit in. It only makes you look autistic.
>>27595319
It was. I'm just saying the board is shit and you're a shipper. Also a normalfag.

This is only possible for guys who aren't that bad.
There are guys who will never have anything with that with any girl because there's just no girl that could ever consider sex or romance with them.
These guys are far below almost all "socially retarded", "autistic" or ugly guys. There are different levels of normalfags and then there's guys right down at the bottom, down where you can't even imagine.
They're rare but they exist and they are the ones who can be robots.
>>27595350
>le trying hard to fit in meme
You're such a newfag it hurts. You're on r9 fucking gay. 90% of posteres here are sub 3 years, guranteed.
fucking ree, thanks for reminding me about that fucking show robots.
I watched it one week before hitting 20 in age, after turning 20 i realised how fucked and retarded i am thanks to this show and had anxiety issues til now.
But i think it's awesome that a show can make you question your self.

Is there any anime where a guy verbally talks down to and hates himself but a girl berates him for that way of thinking? I really want to feel loved right now, but It's kind of hard when I sometimes feel like I have to remind myself that I'm a worthless loser that deserves to die.
>>27595949
Last two episodes of Eva are basically just that.
>>27591100
Yes because not only was Asuka possessive towards him but Misato also 'subtly' tried to get him to fuck her but he wasn't interested because she disgusted him and/or too depressed to care. Rei eventually warmed up to him too.

How the fuck has Tomoko not been posted? She's literally the personification of /r9k/
I feel like Tomoko is way more representing of /r9k/ than any other character, because she's realistic. It's literally all in your head, in reality you're kind of pathetic and an autist to other people.
What quality does she poses that /r9k/ doesn't besides >she?
