Sociologists, man. Classic.

Quote:
"Play and fantasy are more important than actually having sex with a real person. Among some otaku, love and sex in the anime realm become vicarious experiences, more satisfying than real life"
“Among Japanese fans — the guys — it is a badge of honor to say, ‘We do not need real women; [these] figures are better, they do not talk back’” said Macias. “Americans are not there yet, but at the rate things are going, we are going to be seeing that.”

Sweet. You faggots fondle dolls. I'm gonna get my dick wet while you people play with dolls.
I can't even begin to point how flawed this cat's argument is from a social sciences perspective. He's not even in the ballpark. And the huge majority of study into otaku culture is done by people who are really, really awful at sociology/anthropology. A trend does not always equal a social movement. It's niche for a reason. People like Chaotic are still faggots. Now please, return to the jokes.

John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD.
