When people ask what hobbies I have or what I do in my free time. Am I supposed to lie and list some normalfag shit like hiking or going to the movies?
>>34461882what is socially unacceptable
>>34461882Do you feel lonely?If you don't, there's no problem. Be a degenerate by yourself.If you do feel lonely, the underlying problem is that you don't have a common bridge with people, and no amount of politeness will create that bridge.Your options are explore what you call "normie shit" and make that your introduction card, else you can bite the bullet and tell everyone you're a degenerate until someone clicks, and that will be rare because people aren't willing to try new things almost ever, specially if it's something paywalled like games or niche like hentai games, you have to deliver the thing directly for them to try.Having niche interests is tough as fuck. It would be easier to just be raised a normie.
>>34461882Depends on the type of hobbies you have I guess.I don't think liking gore-y scenes constitutes a very good hobby to tell others about, for example.People like other people that share their same hobbies, or that do something they admire, even if they don't partake in the hobby themselves. Like, if you did woodworking or carpentry or painted, someone who is not experienced in it could think it is cool and admirable.So in short, they usually like hobbies that aggregate value to you (like a skill), or that they share.
being an open anime fan has become such a pain. it is relatively accepted nowadays but only up to a certain point. "oh you like anime, you must like naruto, jujutsu kaisen, chainsawman, solo leveling or whatever fucking seasonal trash is airing on crunchyroll right?" no you fucking nigger i don't care about your niwaka trash fuck off.if i tell people the kind of shows i like i get weird looks and give them the ick. just look at the recent controversy with the ganbare nakamura author, people drove her out of social media just because her yaoi manga had a bit of 'problematic' smut
>>34461911Not really true, a lot of people like CSM and JJK, those are babby's first edgy shonen but that's the standout aspect they like about them.Also people may not understand a hobby to first get interested in it. E.g. the medalist anime shows how tough figure skating can be while i used to think it was just gay shit to see euro women in leotards.maybe introducing the edgy hobby from one aspect, such as gore from a skill or production angle as a side note in a broader animation or cinematography discussion. People don't usually think deeply about things though.
>>34462006i watch gore for fun
>>34462010tfw no qt japanese gf to watch indian rekt /gif/ threads and have a laugh before going to sleep with
>>34462010How important is your fun?
>>34462035i read r/suicidewatch for the thrill. i get drunk and laugh how absurdly people get raped.
>>34462060You don't sound like a very good person, maybe you shouldn't socialize after all.
>>34462065i get along with my whole extended family cause i get drunkOP just doesn't know how to behave.
>>34462060Not what I asked. If you want to establish relationships with people, the gore has to go. If you'd rather be alone consuming gore then you should know the risks long term, that everyone will take you for an unironic rapist (which you may be).
>>34462092i gave the wrong impression here, i'm not actually seeking any advice in this thread. my bad.
>>34462092nta but if i like gore surely there are other people out there that do too. not that i like it but i don't really mind it
>>34462131that seems too pretentious tho.who watches gore with someone else
I rarely hang out with people nowadays but when I do the kind of music they like is so weird. I guess I'm mentally still stuck in the 2000s and early 2010s.
be 100% honest and take pride in it. you having zero shame will generally scare off normies and leave only the right people. the world is a big place, eventually you'll find someone neurodivergent enough to accept you for who you are.
>>34462913This. Fuck normalfags
I personally just tell the truthI also have zero friends but am generally liked I say zero friends, but there are many people who would come through for me
You first make friends with likeminded individuals not just any normalfag
