The below chart is taken from a TV program which conducted a survey of commoner females, in order to discover which types of otaku paraphernalia they found most objectionable when visiting a man’s room; as you can see, any figure fans seem set to enjoy a lifetime of celibacy…
The number of surveyed ladies who indicated they would be put off by the presence of the goods is indicated below:
Any figure is NG: 4
Star Wars: 8
Lupin III: 22
Gundam: 47
Eva: 91
Animal characters: 92
Bishoujo characters: 100
“Animal characters” apparently refers to nekomimi and similar…
Moe figure fans had better be prepared to remove their collections from view if they ever hope to make a favourable impression on a commoner female, though in more extreme cases this is likely impossible.
Of course, the level of interest displayed in such figures probably corresponds inversely to the probability of a lady visiting the room in question, so perhaps it is not such a big issue?

One reason why Izumi Kanata is the best girlfriend/fiancee/wife ever...
Kanata is one of my fav anime chars ever!
hmmmmm...real woman versus my new Nogizaka Haruka figure....meh, real women cost more and don't look nearly as good as Haruka. Besides, not liking my hobbies is not liking me....so why would I want anyone who doesn't like me even to see my precious figures? Not to mention, if she has a problem with mere figures then what on earth would she think of my adult-doujinshi collection or the stack of "moe" literatue (it's art, not porn!).
Ah I've never really collected any figures but I've met plenty of girls who like anime and probably wouldn't mind if i collected any anyway since I'd be trying my hardest to taping that ass!
...Hm, I have no problem with guys having figures. Then again, I have a bunch myself. :\
I wonder, did some girl actually found their boyfriend liked mecha more than 3D woman? LOL
Good thing I waited until after I was married to start collecting figures. I have 30 and around another 30 on preorder. Although there are a few she doesn't know about heh heh.
I've been the victim of the judging eyes of "commoner females" too often. And I only had one figure on the desk at the time(lately I've gotten more but I'm more careful about keeping them out of eyesight). Even though I keep my figures hidden now, I end up exposing my otakuness with posters or my cell phone strap(it's kagami-lucky star).Well, I guess it can't be helped. I hope I can meet a nice fujoshi and settle down.
I wonder what would be the result of a poll of commoner males opinions on girls with figures.
Luckily I'm not a figure ota... :P
hating on the gundams
I recall asking the opinion of a normal woman (hypocrite, she collects figurines of mainstream characters to squee over like Sora and other bishies), and the feedback is that seeing bishoujo figures is like objectifying women.
Well sorry ladies, we can't all be dandy boys with fabulous hair and looks.
Or an optional Penis.
Some chicks love the optional penis.
Here's a transcript.
""no, but the usual female figurines you're thinking about usually do not appeal to females because they're the stereotypical big-boobs-small-waist-huge-butt that cater to males""
"and sometimes girls feel insulted when they look at those types of figures"
well. What about mecha. it not refer to female body
if a commoner female doesn't accept for who the otaku is then screw her...
I find it kind of weird that there are more women posting here than all the other topics on Sankaku. Either that or I failed to notice you girls regularly posting here, sorry about that. >.<
Anyway, I think the "commoner females" are not my type of person. I mean females should like you as who your are not some figures or what and vice versa.
What about Warhammer 40k? PRAISE THE EMPEROR!!
Holy lawl
I'm a girl. I have over 100 figures and that Yuki one is my favorite, too.
owo
Girls don't like that stuff because we'll never be able to be as skinny or perfect. =w=
I don't like RL women anyway... they'll never understand the male anime otaku.
You are lost my friends
Nekomimi? But they look so cute, maybe they're just jelous!
No because women Have brains and they know right from wrong
Hmn, wierd since 99,9% of all woman I know that love anime (me included) prefer collecting those kinds of figures.
This girl has a weakness for moe and "animal" figures. :) The main ones I collect are maids, and nekomimi. OMG, how I love them...
Of course, I also have a weakness for watching wonderful yuri, so maybe that helps?
I don't know whats to hate about em. xD As long as they don't care about the figures more than the girl.
Interesting survey there...
What do they have against animal characters? Animal Characters as in what? Zebras, Giraffes, Pokemon?
just wondering, how come eva is more hated compared to gundam? both of them are mecha plamo/figurine.
I don't understand. Is that a percentage?
If you could answer, "any figure is NG", why would 100% of respondents also get to vote for "bishoujo figures" as well?
One person, one vote I say. The numbers look taken out of proportion then.
My gf has more Star Wars merchandising than me, so she's ok with my Space Marines.
And I'm painting a FF8 Squall resin figure for her.
I guess I am lucky.
I can honestly say that the female otaku of my acquaintance have many, many more figures than I do. As mentioned above, these figures may very well reverse themselves, or at least get heavily mitigated, when applied across the Pacific...
Irony being that Melonpan has a girlfriend and a room full of figures. Guess there's always a loophole in 100/100.
I guess my 150+ figures, 20 or so gunpla and growing collection would drive any woman insane then huh? Instant KO?
Why do all of these threads always devolve into you boys complaining that women only like men for their money? Most women like men for their looks, personality, and education level. It just so happens that people with an acceptable level of all of those very often happen to have money. More to the point, as long as you think that women are only interested in money, women are quite unlikely to be interested in you.
Ah, well, much as I would like to devote my life to improving the sad lives of otaku virgins, I probably have better things to do.
And that is why the divorce level in the USA is 50%, and women initiate 70% of divorces. The truth is, women want the money without the man, which is why they get married, and then divorced more often than men.
Misogyny is a hard habit to break. I've been working on my brother. He has it so bad that he doesn't even see it, so he can't understand what he's saying/doing to send women running. If he'd quit making such negative blanket statements about WOMEN as a whole, he'd be able to keep some around.
He's like me, totally non-monogamous, but that can work. There are females who will accept that, just as I've found some males and females who accepted that I wasn't into closed-relationships. I hope that some day he'll become a better person. He has it in him.
So f*cking biased!!!!
I've had girls walk in and they're fine, some even enjoy coming over just to see and admire the entire collection.
No... no... no... but the nekomimi T.T... that's where it's at...
I won't say yes unless the girl offers to be perfect enough to replace them.
On another note, i want that Nagato figurine so bad.
I know! It's so awesome!
lol at "commoner female"
agreed
That figure is freaking awesome! Wait, waht's the subject, oh yeah. Offensive stuff. Why do they hate Evangelion so much?
that's odd, most girls seem to like my figures. I just had a girl say that my miku figure was extremely cute....now she wants to steal it
a.k.a. "get rid of rival," lol
Spoiler: she sees you as a harmless friend, not in any romantic sense.
i second that
Real girls can't compare to figures anyway, so their opinion doesn't matter.
So true. But by 'figures', you mean 'love dolls', and by 'girls' you mean 'bitches', don't you?
I'm putting it this way, because one can't do stuff with small figures and 'girls' sounds somewhat like a loli, which would make them superior, if it weren't for the 'real' you started your comment with.
In fact, real things can never compare with somethin idealized. Just take a square or a circle. The ones in the platonic world will always be superior, but we have to adjust to te real ones anyway.
no wai, I know some girls that like bishoujo figures. I wonder where nendoroids go.
I find this article quite funny. As for me, I don't have any figurine because I don't have the will to put money into that, even thought i'm a hardcore otaku. But if I had some, if a girl is disgusted by my hobby, I wouldn't even think twice before dumping her even before she does. That's again is what I call hypocrisy. I'm hearing a lot of things coming from women about : Beauty is what inside, you shouldn't judge a book by his cover, true love doesn't have limits. BULLSHIT!!! And don't think I'm only on women back, a lot of man are like that too. When you come from a place like where I live, people tend to look at you weirdly if they know you are a otaku (Still, I think it's like this everywhere).
When they talk about stuff 'inside', they mean money.
Money talks, for both mouths.
hmm, not for everyone. when i get cash, i spend it on more figures or iceblocks, sure, but the accumilation of cash is not even remotely of interest to me. my mum on the other hand is such a tight arse, she wouldn't spend $5 more on petrol at the servo near her, instead spending the extra $5 in expended petrol going to the cheapest servo in town.
Exactly, it's what's inside (your wallet) that counts.
This.
Eva is hated that much? I'm honestly shocked given the popularity of that anime(especially these days). In Japan there was practically no where I could go without being exposed to some kind of Eva merchandise. New figures would come out in the game centers every month.
Well, the survey was with commoner females. Guess all of that EVA exposure wasn't exactly ehh... what was the word. Well, aside from that I should be glad I'm in the states, and I have a few of my figures on display. *needing to get more time to make more shelves for more figures.*
I'll direct attention to a new Eva post I'll be making shortly...
And, my place is chock-full of bishoujo, nekomimi and Eva figures!
EVA? Or just Rei and Auska?
It just stems from the female psyche: being jelous of girls prettier than themselves.
So even 3D girls realize that they are pig disgusting and can't compare to 2D girls.
i was all noooooo! not my giant robots! but i guess mentioning that makes it better.
That's usually the case.
Definitely
It's more that it shows that you find cartoon drawings of 14-year-olds more attractive than another human that puts girls off. The fact you're even entertaining the notion that a girl would be jealous of a little plastic cartoon girl speaks volumes.
Just to expand on that, because I feel that I should give an example of something, you should notice that it wouldn't put a regular girl off you if you had a few posters of real women on your walls - women that ARE actually more attractive than them, rather than being cartoon characters.
I guess "being jealous of things that take attention from themselves" is a more accurate statement.
Well my Star Wars figures are still in their box. So that makes it alright. Am I right? RIGHT?!
It shows you're prepared for the future! Just mention that Millennium Falcon will be able to pay for a Louis Vuitton handbag for a potential future wife, that'll be enough to shut her up... (not that you'd ever actually sell it)
Only have one figure (Sochie Heim from Turn A Gundam) and it's not on display.
Huh. It's a good thing 3D is pig disgusting.
So is Star Wars
Star Wars really? Thank heavens I'm married.
My wife doesnt care. So i guess im lucky huh.
currently i have 109 starwars figures, plus a whole heap more that aren't the standard 4.25" format, including a vintage jabba figure. then there's all my comics, probably over 1000 (i lost count long ago) and a whole heap more toys from transformers, gits, xmen and superman sitting around in my lounge room. hell i have a spiderman with magnetic hands and feet attached to the side of my computer and venom is hanging off him. the worst part of it all is that people who know me refer to me as "andy" or the 27 year old virgin, despite the several sexual relationships i have had in my life in between video games.
oh, dear god. i'm never gonna get laid again. T_T
I think you meant to say "in videogames".
Same here. My wife likes my figure collection (we have 62 at present) and even help to pick them out.
You people with wifes probably didn't have the figurines before the wifes.
Where did you catch it? I want one of those as well.
He probably found one randomly and used a master ball.
I help my hubbie too ^_^ most of our figures are Bishoujo/ero
my ex saw my collection... she was abit "ehhh..." and asked if played with my toys. it makes it worse when you actually have toys too like nerf guns. i used to have a set up where my d&d figures looked like they were fighting gundams lol.
Aww, what's wrong with Lupin figures?
I wonder if it refures to just fujiko, because Lupin,Jigen, and Goemon are awesome
Absolutely nothing.
Being in the US makes these a bit more obscure.
It will probably reverse all the values.
Holy crap a good reason to be living in the west :O
Reverse the values, like...?
Star Wars being much more frowned upon.
Gundam/EVA just being some random robot.
The Bishoujo stuff might be have a 50% chance of a reduction.
OH YEAH! I forgot about that thing about Star Wars. I should've read that "reverse the values" as "turning the rankings upside-down" or something.
LAWL, I need something to take up shelf space, and those figures I have are the only things for now, until I put my model planes together. Which well be... after I get bored of anime, and such?
I wonder how they would react to Warhammer models, becuase that's what's on my shelf. At least with models you can brag about your painting skills.
Oh dear, enjoy your virginity. Saying that you can "brag about your painting skills"... I can't believe you said that. Why don't you try telling her about your bow skills and showing her your pictures of ligers?
I don't know what side of the Moon you came from, but I know plenty of RL guys with wives/girlfriends who play or paint Warhammer/40K/D&D figurines... even BEFORE they got married/hooked up with their Significant Other.
I'm... just not one of 'em. :/
Fuck them bitches.
Straight up fuck them bitches.
Not if you don't hide those figures, you won't.
It's called "rape"
^I heavily approve of this comment.
Meh, i'd be turned off if he didn't have figures.
and by "figures" she means money. ;)
Yes, preferably $$$$$$ figures.
Be my GF.
marry me
