My guess is that those hobbies are still very much judged by others. It doesn’t matter how many images you make listing famous actors/athletes and their manga/anime/etc choices, the majority of the population will not want to do anything more than call you a nerd.
Hell, some of my closest friends still don’t want to talk about the differences (and their preference) for manhwa vs manga because they think I’ll get judgy with them.
They didnt share their dirty stuff w me. But i noticed their regular collections in their rooms. Why thats stopping them from meeting girls? I guess weird expectations that noone matches irl. Not able to talk to girls irl w/o acting weird. Its just something anectotical i noticed for multiple guys not having had GFs in their 30s and trying to connect dots here since i know them since they were 16ish. Could also ne mangas are just symptoms i.e. fleeing into worlds because they couldnt manage the real thing.
Are we talking regular Mangas or adult ones? Because if it is regular Mangas, why is that stopping them from meeting people?
