Japanese asked what they consider the most unpleasant and shocking things to find in single man’s room deliver an unambiguous verdict: anything anime-related or girly is sure to reduce a man to pariah status.
The ranking, which it should be noted was based on an evenly divided sample of both men and women:
1. Moe anime goods or DVDs
2. Idol posters
3. Nekomimi/usamimi (cat or rabbit-eared characters)
4. Lacy or florally patterned decorations
5. Sewing/knitting kit
6. Dolls (western or Japanese)
7. Framed photos of himself
8. Women’s magazines
9. Children’s anime goods or DVDs
10. Big stuffed toys
The horrendous prejudice of the Japanese to the creepy otaku they are forced to share an archipelago with once again arises, with 3D women in general unable to countenance their 2D rivals.
The same survey taken in 2008 saw similar results, though with pet clothes and gambling literature edging into the top 10, and with figures, sewing gear and smoking supplies appearing around the bottom of the ranking.
Owners of any of the above items are advised to stow them away in the unlikely event they have any normal visitors, Japanese or otherwise.

Would any normal woman, seeing this, stick around? The guy's a weirdo!
I guess my gigantic WoW poster is okay then.
Well I don't expect anyone to visit anyway :P
Oh, that's the same room shown, before and after being "cleaned up".
I feel bad about someones mind being swamped by other peoples imagery and fantasy. No room for self-expression except in one's taste of consumption. The lost of a person to a comfy womb of illusion that slowly sucks the years of their life away.. a way to numb a wound that does not heal by itself.
Imagine many years from now.. being old.. with a small smile and a crusty laugh you are surrounded by people that love you and that you care deeply for. It's your birthday. Children are running and laughing outside. And then you remember that day so many years ago when you felt something inside that turned your path. The fears you faced and moved through. Step by step this life you made. And you feel glad. Very glad indeed.
I thought a used tissue or bottle of lotion would be high on this list.
Damn,a DVD of The Mysterious Cities of Gold is ok?
What to do if you are the artist who draws moe pictures?
So ifa japanese girl find "a tissue" it's not shocking?
>Dolls (western or Japanese)
So European/American/Canadian dolls are not okay, and Japanese dolls are not okay, but African dolls are okay?
Actually, I wouldn't mind finding a man that knew how to sew. Save me a lot of trouble, that's for sure.
".. a lot of trouble.."
Dare I ask why? Perhaps your clothes are being repeatedly ripped off? I mean this in the naughtiest way.
-a mean old "sew&sew" XD
5. Sewing/knitting kit
err what wrong with a living alone guys have one of them ? surely you wont throw away a shirt just because its button fall off will you ?
An otaku who sews would not be sewing buttons...
It could be for doll clothing... That seems to be what women fear about...
Funny thing, though, nowhere was finding a woman asleep inside the room mentioned. Same with the female counterpart... Strange, huh?
yay,none of the above,
just dollfie(but actually,its my sister's)
i have several figures,but it isnt mentioned,so im safe :D (but is it counted as children's anime goods?)
It used to be "Sword and Sorcery" was a cause of shame/"Immaturity" in western KKKulture...
But now...
http://www.acaeum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8714
And this guy's married. Also as a side/alternative thing, the SCA's getting more and more popular:-) And women like seeing the men play fight in armor and such...
What I'm saying is that the men should try being a bit more outgoing and macho, but the ladies should also be more open and respond more than just Money/Image/How well he pretends to play a "Dating Game" that gets too many guys to just give up, leaving the "Cassanovas" and "Scumbags".
There are time when I don't get why japanese men are dating normal japanese women... I'm quite sure there are (not many) girls who don't hate otakus -_-
I prefer an otaku rather than a stupid guy who likes to go to the disco every weekend :P
For me:
1. Moe anime goods or DVDs
I would ask him to see them with me.
2. Idol posters
I would check what idols he like.
3. Nekomimi/usamimi (cat or rabbit-eared characters)
Nice~ I would use them if he ask me to xD
4. Lacy or florally patterned decorations
mmm I don't really care
5. Sewing/knitting kit
see 4
6. Dolls (western or Japanese)
cute
7. Framed photos of himself
cute
8. Women’s magazines
I would check them too.
9. Children’s anime goods or DVDs
Perfect
10. Big stuffed toys
More than perfect
I know 3 girls who share your viewpoint (I know like 300 girls total and like 270 of them hate me). Unluckily they all have boyfriends. Why is that most of gils like those alpha males? I don't know.
However I know that girls like you do exist - that makes me happy.
what about a sewing mother right outside my room? GF chances gone as well as getting laid below 0
who is any of this bad ?
wtf is wrong with japanese women ?
11. A girl taking a bath or maybe a man
This is actually why i've toned down any sort of figure displays or posters.
Used to have tons, now they are mostly all in my closet.
Still have DVD's out, but I can explain those.
If the chick you're bringing home actually won't want to date you becaue of this then you shouldn't be trying with her. We date because we like people for who they are, not who they pretend to be.
don't be hating on da moe...
I would find all of these things cute (well if he's alone in the picture and it's not a sports picture then I would see that as narsisistic XD)
shit! I have lots of posters (ayu, ai otsuka, maki goto...) and anime figures. :/ at least my room is not like that one in the photo, it's well disposed and clean...
I can't believe that sex toys weren't on the list. That's the first thing I thought of...
the description of the ideal room
now i hope to see the top 10 worst things to find in a girls room.Though i have an idea of what it could be.
no Eva goods ? so they upgraded to moe anime goods ? (or downgraded...)
My philosophy: If a girl/guy can't love you for who you truly are, the relationship will not last long and is destined to ruin.
True that. To quote a song by Reo Speedwagon;
As long as I say what you wanna hear,
Do what you wanna do, be who you want me to be.
You think that's love. Baby that aint love to me.
if a women would actually leave you because of the kind of shit you like, which doesn't effect her, she is effectively lower than dogshit and not worth any effort in the first place. Don't put women on some fucking pedestal of godliness, they are no better than men and in most cases worse. Everything she likes is probably mundane, boring, and stupid, we don't like the same shit. Double standards against men are fucked up, this age is fucked up.
fuuny thing how unniformed japanese are about men when it comes to men liking feminit things normaly(the moe and pretty girls stuff).Women need to be feminit or they will also end up alone hahaha.
Oh and it's not like men don't like cute things heh,i always fall when i see a puppy,but usually find kittys disgusting(just a different view of cuteness i guess,which i could say to some children,some i could find cute,but other which other people would call cute i would call an abomination).
Oh and what do others have to speak about such stuff,are they doing anything interesting for their hobbys or are they just plane borring and addicted to their work.
I would have thought that "another woman" would have made the list of things they wouldn't want to find in their boyfriend's room .....
Things I can think of that would be worse?:
-Weapon (like gun or Hunting Knife)
-"To kill" list
-Sex doll(s)
-A bomb
-A shrine to Hitler
-A pillow in a wedding dress (...)
Well, thats some =p
pretty good one.
Fucking normals. They're forgetting that there are plenty of women that are into otaku shit too.
Besides, what if the guy also happened to be set for life and fucking loaded.... I bet they'd think twice then. Shallow assholes.
I lol'd at "Framed photos of himself." I myself am guilty of "Moe anime goods or DVDs," my family doesnt mind my many anime DVD's, but they shake their at my nendoroid army.

I think finding a dildo in a guys room is worst.
prostate massage much?
X 1. Moe anime goods or DVDs
2. Idol posters
X 3. Nekomimi/usamimi (cat or rabbit-eared characters)
X 4. Lacy or florally patterned decorations
X 5. Sewing/knitting kit
X 6. Dolls (western or Japanese)
7. Framed photos of himself
8. Women’s magazines
X 9. Children’s anime goods or DVDs
X 10. Big stuffed toys
Awwww... dammit.
Japanese women are weird. Anime DVDs? Stuffed toys? How can they find it shocking? Even porn mags in plain sight are hardly disturbing.
Nothing, and I mean nothing can compare to used condoms. Especially STASH of used condoms. I mean seriously, is he collector or something?
what the hell is wrong with sewing gear?
"7. Framed photos of himself"
I only lose in this one =p
What the problem if I love myself?
Not a stained boxer? lol
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10...
Japanese girls are fucking picky.
On that note, every man should know how to sew and have a sewing kit...
Im surprise "A girl" is not there.
>Sewing Kit
Srsly, you need that. Stupid women are stupid.
I have a few stuffed animals and throw away beer cans or alcohol bottles... seems it would work better backwards? Huh.
Went through this list with my boyfriend (just to clarify, I'm female).
1. Moe anime goods or DVDs - check on my part
2. Idol posters - nope
3. Nekomimi/usamimi (cat or rabbit-eared characters) -check on both boyfriend's and my part (we have matching cat-eared hats)
4. Lacy or florally patterned decorations - check on his part (heck, he was a florist at one point)
5. Sewing/knitting kit - check on his part
6. Dolls (western or Japanese) - check on my part
7. Framed photos of himself - check, only because they're a gift from my mom
8. Women’s magazines - nope, but he loves checking out the steamy sex articles while standing in a check-out line at the supermarket
9. Children’s anime goods or DVDs - well, I've got some Pokemon figures and stuff?
10. Big stuffed toys - check on both his and my part
Floral patterns? Lace? Sewing kits? But those kind of guys are so cute. Dare I say it, they're MOE.
They obviously mean in a normal guy's room. Because any of these things in a model/singer/famous/rich guy's room would just "add depth to his character" and show that he's a "soft guy on top of being a successful one"
If you have money, you can screw these rules.
Because otaku`s where everywhere!
1 , 3, 9 are so mee
Some of that stuff may raise an eyebrow but wouldn't be just Earth shattering if you found a blowup sex doll? A moe blowup sex doll?
JULLLAAAAAAYYY!
"7. Framed photos of himself"
lol'd
So the japanese have become judgemental because of their media i guess..
1. Moe anime goods or DVDs I have some.
2. Idol posters none but planning to do so :3
3. Nekomimi/usamimi (cat or rabbit-eared characters) :(
4. Lacy or florally patterned decorations None.
5. Sewing/knitting kit None.
6. Dolls (western or Japanese) Would if I had the time
7. Framed photos of himself None.
8. Women’s magazines - None
9. Children’s anime goods or DVDs None.
10. Big stuffed toys -YES I HAVE TONS. PROBLEM???
thats 3/10, and can be easily 5/10.
3D pig etc. anyways.
What's wrong with having a stuffed Pikachu from my childhood? :(
WTF women magazines?? I don't know how women magazines from Japan are, but if they are anything like Cosmopolitan (bear with me, this is the only one I've ever read) they shouldn't make a big deal out of them.
these people need to get their priorities straight, those aren't anywhere near the worst things you can find in a person's room.
I'm an otaku, gamer and geek and men don't seem to be very excited over it.
It works both ways like always.
my room:
1. mountain of beer cans
2. trash every where
3. sex lube
4. ps3
5. womens clothes
hmmm seems im ok...
1. Moe anime goods or DVDs
Nothing inherently wrong with that, but I'm prejudiced against moe fanboys.
2. Idol posters
Nothing wrong with that, but I personally find idol worshippers are obssessive and therefore creepy. (Not saying all owners of idol posters are idol worshippers)
3. Nekomimi/usamimi (cat or rabbit-eared characters)
...WTF? That's kind of creepy in the gay way.
4. Lacy or florally patterned decorations
That's alright, nothing wrong with lace or florally patterned decorations if it looks nice.
5. Sewing/knitting kit
Nothing wrong with that...
6. Dolls (western or Japanese)
Nothing really wrong with that..
oh wait, picturing that looks creepy.
7. Framed photos of himself
What the hell is wrong with that?
8. Women’s magazines
What the hell is wrong with that?
9. Children’s anime goods or DVDs
What the hell is wrong with that?
10. Big stuffed toys
Okay, there's nothing wrong with it, but I guess the thought seems embarrassing to them.
What if she finds another girl in my room? :D
Lol hypocrites all of them! If they want a good guy, just go for an asian-american man, he will always treat his woman good. However, the only reason I get turned down is because I "might have a small penis" but somehow having a large penis is never listed as top priority, which it is. :(
im amazed pron isn't on the list
You're right. Then again this is from a Japanese preference. It might be there if we ask other countries.
so far some of them are understandable but...
1. Moe anime goods or DVDs
3. Nekomimi/usamimi (cat or rabbit-eared characters)
4. Lacy or florally patterned decorations
5. Sewing/knitting kit
7. Framed photos of himself
9. Children’s anime goods or DVDs
10. Big stuffed toys
These stuff..give me a break, that girl's too insecure. I mean back then guys at are into some of these gives some sense of comfort to girls.
Having framed photos of one's self isn't so bad. Does it include graduation pictures or simple fun (not fun as in perverted or naughty) photos?
I'd like to see what the list of items prefered to be in a guy's room.
I don't need a girl who would balk at a big stuffed Domo.
I will never hide my moe anime figurines!
Due to such prejudice against otakus, less relationships are made and the Japanese population will slowly plummet since they cannot adapt...
I dont see whats wrong with number 3!!!
1. Moe anime goods or DVDs
does this also include anime figures and other related warez? it'll be interesting to break it down even more and see what items/goods are the worst to have in possession.
does having only 5 (sewing kit) make me weird?
if thats the only thing you have why the hell are you coming to sankaku?
the only ones I have are 1 and 3
I'm safe!!
I have none of these things, but It's easy to hide most of these things or lie about their reason for being in your room, actually. You can do the same as with other common, unacceptable goods.
1. Moe anime goods or DVDs
Place them inside a box under your bed or with your game library.
2. Idol posters
Either hide them away in a box or just keep the images in your computer or if you have a current game console, in its HDD.
3. Nekomimi/usamimi (cat or rabbit-eared characters)
Again, box if their are figurines. HDD if they're images.
4. Lacy or florally patterned decorations
uhhh... box.
5. Sewing/knitting kit
Tell that's your mother's/sister's/brother's and act seriously.
6. Dolls (western or Japanese)
Uhhhh... box.
7. Framed photos of himself
Hide them.
8. Women’s magazines
Box.
9. Children’s anime goods or DVDs
Same with the moe DVDs.
10. Big stuffed toys
Place them in another place... But if you're in an apartment, you're fucked.
Well that rules me out, then.
I'm a single guy and it appears my room is on the safe side... Except maybe, for women's magazines. Do they mean 'magazines for women' or 'magazines with women' like Sabra, Weekly Playboy, Young Magazine, etc.?
Anyway, it would be also interesting to know what would be the most 'pleasing' things to find in a single man's room... What do these girls expect?!! I have no idea...
I only have number 10 in my room, and they were from years ago (I don't like getting rid of stuff for no good reason). All of my moe anime is on my computer.
I don't see anything wrong with someone having dvds of children's anime. Watching children's shows is great when you're really stressed out (and you get a nostalgia bonus if it's a show that you watched when you were a kid).
well i guess its better than finding a dildo in a guy's room.
What's wrong with a sewing kit? Is there anything wrong with a guy that actually can sew on a button?
Won't find the other things in my room, however.
im surprised nobody said " #1) A MAC "
To a nerd/otaku/sane man this would be true whoever women like things are don't make sense like knotted cables and why "moving with the controller doesn't make it faster" and im told women like fashion and thats about the only use a mac has... A nice big shiny paperweight
The best entry has to be "Framed photos of himself". I can't believe that there must be enough Japanese men that do that in order to make it an issue! Gotta remember to do that to scare off any 3D pigs.
And how on earth is "framed photos of himself" down in seventh place? Holy hell man, holy hell.
I have all but no.7 and yet women don't seem to care. Most people I date are all too aware of what they are getting into before hand.
In any case I'm now off to commission a massive self portrait to hang over my bed.
1. a mac
2. a throw rug
I figured one of those fake loli pussies would have made it in the mix. Guess it fits in one of the broader categories...
it is not the things i watch or own that decide my worth.It is what i can do that decides my worth.
But the things you own will start to own you
I really don't get in what way a sewing kit would be the 5th most shocking/unpleasant thing to find in a guys house.
I could rank "a few" items that would disturb me more, including stuff like hardcore S&M equipment and/or SM porn, furry suits and/or furry porn, bloody butcher knifes, "toxic hazard" unclean room with mold/fungus growing all over the place, his daughter and their kids living in a cell in the basement... and so on.
So...i guess crack, heroin, recreational drugs, dead body, illegal weapon, sex toys are okay?
that's LEGAL, even a loli dutchwife is LEGAL
SHUT UP! equality now lurk more here then some of us otakus do and the idea of a 3d loli would blown their brains out their ass. That could be seen as good but they would claim we killed someone and such and its easier to avoid
anime DVD's??!! really!!?? honestly??!! But...why? ....Why?
its not regular animes. MOE Animes
Hm... No dakimakura?
It's the worst
