Can we talk about the meme culture in anime, specifically the western meme culture? Touch grass along with others are all but dead elsewhere, but anime keeps that shit alive somehow, mostly because Anitubers haven't seen a recent meme in a decade.
I don't even disagree with the sentiment of touching grass, but not everyone that watches anime is a otaku. In fact that is a increasing demographic. I'm kinda tired of stories about shut in NEETS. I honestly can't relate. I've been working as long as I've been a adult. The notion someone pays for every little thing in your existence is sickening.
Its why i like Fate. Shiro fucking works his ass off at multiple jobs, knows how to cook, mostly lives on his own, has a hair color other than black, and when life gets hard, he gets tough. THAT is a character I can relate, or at least aspire to. A NEETs life sounds like fucking hell.
