Meh. As long as I'm still around, you'll always be the second most hated poster.
And honestly, who cares about what porn or sexy things you enjoy? So long as its not illegal, we're all fine with it.

I think only you can answer that, dude.

I mean, you obviously have a fetish. And perhaps a secondary fetish for telling people about your fetish.
But only you can tell if it's a problem for you. Maybe it is, as you make posts quite often about not having a girlfriend and that you think you never will have a girlfriend or touch a real boob.
If it's something that negatively affects you and you want to change it, perhaps you do have a problem.
If you are happy the way you are, then you don't.

No I don't think you have a problem, even if I did, I'm a random stranger on the internet. What I think doesn't matter.

What matters is whether you think you have a problem and whether this problem has caused you enough distress to warrant doing something about it.

So I'm not quite sure if this belongs here or on "Advice" - and I can't do Wild West since I'm not Pub club. Bit heavy of a topic though.

But I gotta ask; and I want no punches pulled. Say what you need to; I solemnly swear not to hold anything anyone say here about me against them. I know some of you might not have a ton to go on, but I'm asking anyway;

Do you guys (and girls) really think I have a problem? It seems from some of the replies I get in threads or to posts that you might, but some are in jest and others seem like they might not be. I know I play it up a little hammy-er on here than I would in real life, simply because the threads last a little longer and get a bit more interesting that way.
No. The alternative is that I really have a problem because in private I'm into some... unusual pornography. I just don't publicise it.

Wait, I have a gold symbol as well. When did I become a Pub Member?
That mean I can put a Bigger Avatar and write my own title?
Back at the end of March is when the free Pub Clubs were handed out. Your avatar can be up to 115x115 now and you can set your forum title on this page.
......Then I must get ready for a MASSIVE MAKEOVER!!!!

EDIT: Oooooh, YEAH! This feel good my mates!!! Now is time to draw my Waifus with me!!!

Judging by some of the posts, this about Hentai kind of stuff, then I think anybody into it has a problem but only 'cos trying to find a person who looks like an anime character is impossible. Then if you're too into it, you might end up in a position where ... erm ... your soldier doesn't stand to attention. Heard many a tale told about people who get happy unless their specific kink is happening, so it could be a problem if you're about to get frisky but Mr. Peep wont pop up.

Personally, I can't for the life of me see the appeal but you do you boo!

You mean with all the manga? It's not exactly my cup of tea but hey, whatever floats your boat - we all have our quirks, fetishes and vices. Look ... as long as what you do makes you happy, and doesn't negatively impact on other people, then knock your socks off.

You just need to put a little anti-fungal cream down there and if it does not clear up go and see the doctor xxx.

You are one of the reasons why I know to keep my anime consumption to a minimum. Not the only reason, but one of them.

Honestly, you are harmless. We all have our passions and loves. You like anime, so so millions of people. As long as you don't jerk off in the street next to me on a park bench while you watch it on your tablet, that's fine by me. That isn't even the weirdest thing that has happened next to me.

So, Para. You cool bro. From one Para to another...

Para Para 2020. Make America Horny Again!!

Yes, you have a problem.

And the cure is more anime tiddies.

Yes.

Probably nothing a bit of socialization and a few healthy relationships wouldn't fix.

But don't take my word for it. Do you think all is right with your life? I don't think you do, but I could be wrong.

At the end of the day I feel a bit sorry for you, but I think you're harmless.

If you are, personally, unhappy, then yes, I think you have a problem.

I've kidded around about some of your fanservice threads, but I don't mind them really. However, you have expressed a lack of self confidence on several occasions. You've said several time that the main reason you like the fanservice stuff so much is because you don't feel comfortable around real women. If you were just joking then don't worry about it. It's not a big deal. However, if you were serious, then I think you're doing yourself a disservice by not trying to make yourself happy. There's nothing wrong with the fanservice stuff unless you're using it as a substitute for social interaction. The same goes for anything, really.

And hey, I get it. I used to have a really bad self image. I was overweight, deeply depressed, and unsure about where I wanted to go in life. I was awkward around people I didn't know. I would use games and movies as substitutes for real world relationships. I figured I was a lost cause. But I wasn't. I invested in myself. I worked out. I bought some nicer clothes. I tried to be less awkward. It wasn't easy. It took about two years of real work. But I got better around people, and became much happier. I was surprised to find out that people liked me. I'll never forget the first time a girl started following me around. The guy who had been so fat, quiet, and awkward in highschool. Or the time I was playing frizbee outside, and some people asked me where the gym was because they said I was the sportiest looking guy around. Me, who spent his time watching anime. It was sort of surreal. I had spent my entire life as a kind of outcast and, very slowly, people's view of me had changed. I still felt the same on the inside, but people treated me differently. I found that I liked being around them too. I could actually be pretty funny when I wanted to be, and I started getting more involved with people.

If you're happy with everything, then don't pay any mind to what I said. I don't know you, after all. Who cares what other people think? But if you do feel bad about yourself, then don't. You're always worth the investment, and it's never too late to improve your circumstances. The only person you have to make happy is yourself.

Edit: And as for bad posters, you could do far, far worse. You're nowhere near the worst user we've had here. Damn, you're downright tamecompared to some people.
These got buried underneath all of the reassuring joke posts, but it's the truth.

Yes, ParagonFury, you have a problem.

A) You're a self-described "forever alone" incel who supplements his lack of prospects with creepy anime bullshit.

and

B) You're so insecure you seek validation from faceless, anonymous forum posters like us.

My unsolicited advice: Do what Fox12 said. Start slow and accept that the long road to self-improvement beats your current situation. Taking two years to get in shape, improve your fashion sense, and practice socializing is still a lot sooner than the NEVER you're staring down the barrel of now.

*sees OP*

Yes!

*begins to read the acutal post*

Still yes. If you want it blunt: If it's not internet persona i'd recommend professional help. That's not meant as an insult or anything but a genuine advice.
From what i got from your post you seem to have multiple issues and if you can't fix them yourself, see a doctor. Not an easy step to make, had to do that step myself once - best decision ever.

I don't know you, but the replies have given me an impression. I used to be more depressed about this isolation. But I realized people are tedious and judgemental and that if I really wanted a girl, I would have done something about it by now. I no longer care how short or thin I am. I'm not gonna use my looks anyway. You only feel bad about it when you see happy couples, and that's just jealousy.
I'd say it's more envy than jealousy. Like I envy a lot of people all the time, but the last time I was jealous of someone was maybe six years ago when a girl I liked hung around some dude I barely knew and to me it looked like she didn't even like him (it turned out they indeed were never really together, I asked her out sometime later but she ignored me and moved to another country soon anyway :p).

Anime aside, I can sympathize with the op. My ego tells me I'm a great guy even though most of my relationships tell a different truth. I haven't lost hope, but it sucks tbh. My keen memory keeps reminding me of the grave mistakes I've made with girls over the years. I just didn't get it back then, and I chickened out of wanting to know why. Now I mostly have online interactions, dating sites and Tinder. And it's kinda depressing to find your possible Tinder matches (most times you open Tinder it will suggest you people who want to match with you) being legit 3/10 tubs of lard or girls just testing how many matches they can get. Not all are like that (as is customary to say), but out of all the girls with similar interests and decent looks only one has shown any interest. I kinda hate to rant like this because it is more complicated all in all and can't be expressed in a forum post, but eh who cares in the end.

You haven't seen my Tinder. edit: Nor listened to my ego.

edit2: Seriously, Tinder is the shallowest place there is, isn't it? I'd say more than half of the girls there have no bio on them, and so all I've got is their pics. Of course I will rate their appearance.
