Japanese women asked what they think the most undesirable things to see serving as mobile phone wallpaper display none-too surprising resistance to seeing any “childish” anime characters featuring, considering the holders of such phones so creepy only abject narcissists were considered more undesirable.
The results of the survey, with the charming comments of the ladies questioned:
Q: Please indicate the wallpapers likely to worsen your impression of someone?
1. A picture of themselves – 20.7%
“Gross.”
“Anyone who did that must be a creepy narcissist.”
“Why would anyone do this?”
“Frighteningly narcissistic.”
2. An anime character – 16.9%
“Maybe an anime character would be OK, but one from a shoujo manga would be gross!”
“A character from a minor title would creep me out…”
“It’s just childish.”
3. Their lover – 9.9%
“Annoying!”
“You feel they are showing off.”
“Impossible if it were me.”
4. A celebrity – 8.6%
“It depends on the person, but an idol would absolutely make me recoil.”
“Gravure would certainly be gross.”
“Come back to reality.”
5. Their husband or wife – 7.4%
“Anyone but their kids would be icky.”
“I’d look upon this rather coldly.”
“A little gross.”
What if I have a picture of myself, posing with my anime waifu/girlfriend/lover who’s quite famous?
Do I win?
Forbidden wallpapers : pic of yourself, your husband, your wife, your lover, a celebrity, an anime character.
What the f♥♥k were these 3D pigs saying!
What is allowed then?
Blank color?
Abstract?
Scenery?
Fucking retarded.
Jesus christ just what kind of women were these people surveying
Self photos are creepy indeed, but lover/wife/husband is kinda normal… and if celebs and anime come in a form of art work or artistic photography, I wouldn’t have negative thought about them
Currently using a wallpaper of Double Zeta Gundam just to tell them this is not anime.
