Anime, Kpop and mental illness: Is there a correlation? (bropsychologists needed)
03-11-2018, 12:35 AM
I've noticed that people drawn to anime and kpop (non-asians) tend to exhibit strong traits of mental illness on a rather common basis, at least in comparison to other hobby based communities I've encountered.
Not that all anime fans are axe wielding otaku nutjobs that fap to lolicon porn on a daily basis but that things like depression, OCD, social anxiety, autism, personality disorders, or any other kind of "mental health issue" seem fairly common..
Any bropsychologists care to chime in.
Background for the question:
I have recently been increasingly drawn to the idea of a more long-term relationship (with a possible endgoal being starting a family). Top of my list is a friend of my cousins. She's pretty, conservate, religious, shy, high IQ and likely a virgin. However,, I know she is particularly fond of anime and kpop (evidenced by her social media like). She is Australian and I realise that the Asian influence on Sydney is strong but I'm wondering if her quirky interest may be a more serious redflag
