Why I'm In Love With Nanako Kuroi

- Japanese society expectations and gender roles - In particular, women are pushed to choose between being professionals and housewives; they can't be both. - A successful woman won't trade her self-supported lifestype for anything; you have to earn at least twice as she does in order to get a chance. - Most people are workaholics and have no time for dating. - Few Japanese men are deserving of such a hottie. - Getting your own place is very difficult, particularly in large cities such as Tokyo where real estate is extremely expensive. - Dating a gamer is not as great as it sounds; she barely has time for anything else, including sex. Also, certain people (mostly on the seinen otaku demographic) are so obsessed with fictional characters that they find real life people gross and are no longer interested in actual relationships. To cater to the above demographic, authors don't give boyfriends to their female characters, in order to allow their readers and viewers to bond with these characters in a way indulging to their perversions. Unfortunately, some of these people also extend their obsession to the voice actors, to the point of becoming irate, sometimes violent, whenever one of those voice actors finds a boyfriend...

[@ivoryvt]

Hemmo Laurell You're so lucky! All my teachers are only into sports. One time my health and phys-ed teacher made this assignment about people going into accidents and losing limbs and how we need to get them to put it all in the past and his example was: Boy loses fingers; boy is mad because he can't play video games; health teacher tells him to get a life. My counterattack was: Boy loses legs; boy is mad because he can't play sports; I tell him to get a life. Then again, just about all of my teachers are being replaced due to stupid Brownback, so I just hope I can get a sensei that I can be myself around, rather than only teachers that I can only be Dandere around. (Note: Sensei = awesome teacher; Teacher = just another one of them.)
