^ I feel like it can be a plethora of reasons with the anime thing. I have seen enough anime that have overly weird (sometimes to the point of awkward or disturbing) concepts/characters/themes/plot points and nothing is really done about it in the shows, so I think when you have certain things that are extremely weird and normalized in the anime, people who ARE already creeps themselves see it and cling onto certain animes because they see themselves being portrayed as normal or funny in these shows, so they probably think it's way more okay to be unhinged in anime spaces because of that (like with yandere or the perverted characters. If there's an already mentally unsound individual seeing these characters being portrayed as cool or normal, they'll most likely be most comfortable being that thing in anime conventions/places because the community 'accepts' those behaviors for the most part). That being said, I think it's ultimately up to the consumers watching and not the anime itself inherently. I am a firm believer though that a lot of animators over their in Japan/Manga writers have their own mental issues too, especially with the Loli and Shota characters, because that IS full blown pedophilia/creepy behavior for you to have the unmitigated gall to even write a show where children are having full blown sex (with an adult OR another child). But again, it's also up to the consumer to not consume certain content and feed into that. But, if you are already: 1. A creep, 2. Mentally unwell (not in a creepy way) or 3. Struggling with certain things (thoughts, behaviors and desires), then you will most likely gravitate towards an anime that feeds into your present struggles in the first place. What I'm getting to is that like with any form of content/media there's going to be good and bad people/spaces as well as shows. I do believe there are plenty of healthy and good anime consumers out there, but with practically much of everything, usually the bad side(s) end up being pushed so that's the only thing you end up seeing.

Extroverts look at introverts like Ken looks at Ryu in Capcom's Street Fighter series. Imagine Ken asking Ryu about his content or neutral thinking face if he's mad, tired, sad, etc., etc.. Ryu prefers solitude, long walks, humbleness and doesn't appreciate being cheered for his victories. Ken is a dopamine addict who likes to be cool and savvy and wants a spouse. How they both get mad... https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8xArX7X/ https://i.imgur.com/MxNwuuG.jpeg

@gabriel_true Day 133: Me, mom and baby brother went Birthday shopping today. We're having homemade Chipotle chicken bowls for our Birthday dinner, and our mom is planning on food prepping on Saturday since we're leaving for our aunts house on Sunday, so she wants certain food things prepped before getting to their house, just so that way she isn't taking up much of their kitchen space (though both of our aunts wouldn't mind...they'd probably be trying to help her the whole time lol). My baby brother is having a dark chocolate cake for his Birthday dessert, and I'm having a layered cookie cake with ice cream. Though we're going shopping for our ice cream and dinner drinks when we get to Pennsylvania (where our aunts are)...so we'll see how that ends up XD, cause our mom is making us go with our aunt Jackie, and that woman (fondly) is ALWAYS trying to buy stuff for us, so I wonder what extra goodies we'll leave with since it's our Birthday. - Can't Wait For March 1st, We're Eating At A Buffet For Breakfast: Ying-Ying

Narcissists cannot build genuine self-esteem because their sense of worth is based on a fragile, external "false self" (grandiosity) rather than INTERNAL VALIDATION. They require constant admiration to mask deep-seated insecurity and core shame stemming from childhood trauma. Because they avoid self-reflection, rely on validation-seeking behaviors, and fear exposing their true selves, they cannot develop authentic, stable self-worth. I'm proud to say thanks to my God I can long as we persevere. It feels so good to know who you are and validate your heart and your worth. I'm no longer twisted in my ability to see myself. I use to only see the bad but now I see the good. The voices or people opinions can't take that away from me. I boast with joy what God has done in me he set me free from needing others attention and validation. Now my heart belongs to me. I don't have to seek out others to ask if they see or know my heart because I can't see it myself. I have eyes now that can see and validate it what a blessing to have self esteem and a sense of self and see your accomplishments not through the lens of others but through your own eyes with nothing twisting your gaze. Though I'm still open to others views of me to learn and better myself but the difference is I don't need others views to be able to see myself anymore. I have eyes now. My love for people and learning won't change even if people can't see me the way I see myself. My heart stays open to those who are real and can meet my realness. But, I can see me now it's so fucking cool. They said it would never happen praise the Lord he made a way. I know the devil and the voices hate that I have eyes that can validate my own heart. Now they can't twist it. Man I serve a mighty God man. Wow. Also I self reflect and show my true self everyday I'm doing pretty good for a narcissist. They say we would never do that lol. The Power of God breaks curses.

See someone drink something... Scoffs Grown man need his throat wet I guess couldn't be me.

I try to listen to bk pastor every morning on tiktok if I can he talked about being divinely confined recently. I realize I'm divinely confined. Narcissism isn't a punishment. It's so the works of God can be showed through me. I can't wait to tell people he made a way when there was none. He already has me in a good place that I never thought could be possible. So I boast with joy that my God is the God of the impossible. They said I'd never have awareness but I have. They said I'd never stop feeling entitled to things and attention but I have. They said I'd never stop seeking validation but I have. They said I'd never make anyone happy but I have. They said I'd never stop trying to control others but I have. They said I'd never be able to form my own sense of self or self esteem or validate my heart but I have. They said he will never notice his pride but I have. They said he's his own God he will never surrender but I am one piece at a time. The voices say I'm evil and the chains will never break but Jesus says you are mine no one will snatch you out of my hand I will set you free. They said I'm a dead man but I'm alive in Christ. All Glory be to God. Thank you Jesus. And, he just getting started with the blessings. He has a plan for me declares the Lord. Plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me hope and a future. I have a purpose that's why I'm divinely confined. I'm not perfect but he working on me. Jesus have your way. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence; and take not your holy spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation; and uphold me with your free spirit.” Hallelujah. Amen. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I know I'm not entitled to any blessings that's why I'm so thankful for how he has blessed me. I just learned today I'm not entitled to any blessings thanks to bk pastor. It's a free gift so I'm thankful. The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
