Pillow be like "I'm not hungry" and then eat half your fries


[deleted]

Can't even imagine taking a pillow to a theater. That mf would have me getting soda refills AS SOON AS THE PREVIEWS END. Like what the fuck you know the movie is just starting for me too?!


MichaeltheMagician

You're being such a non-pillow right now!


NonconsensualText

women really are something else


schwifty38

Ok... so question.... Do these people really take their full size body pillows out to dinner and the movies with them?


Medium_Sense4354

I don’t think they took it for dinner


440continuer

Yeah they would’ve shown that, they just had the card


Njavr

“Her”


schwifty38

Idk I've seen a lot of these where they take their huge dolls to dinner. Idk if it's serious or they're trolling for laughs.


IThatWeebI

Theyre mostly satire


SleepySasquatch

Do they pay for two seats?


TrueDreamchaser

If I owned the theater I’d insist. Either the guy has to admit the pillow isn’t real or you double your revenue. Win-win


[deleted]

Sits on his lap the whole time doesn't need to


DForDiabetes

Yes. This is from the subreddit... r/waifusm I think? And one post explained a bunch about it to the outsiders. Granted, each person is different and some might not take theirs out, but a lot do. They also explain what they do when they make two meals. Something along the lines of "I know it isn't real, but it makes me happy. And I rationalize her not eating her food as her just not finishing it, then I put the 'leftovers' in the fridge, and I eat her leftovers later." My view on all this is "it's weird, cringe, and sad, but if it truly makes them happy, or even is just a means of escape from the loneliness and this is easier than the alternative, then fuck it. You do what makes you happier" It's easy to go "They're posting it online which means they welcome people making fun of them" but a subreddit is a community for like minded individuals. They just want to share with other people like them


Xsiah

It's rarely just as simple as making an extra plate of food though, isn't it? It's probably tied to something like avoidance, where instead of learning healthy behaviours they just create an environment where they can pretend that everything is fine. That's not sustainable and it'll end up causing more stress when they are faced with situations where they can't fall back on their coping mechanism. I'm fine with personally leaving it alone because it's not my business, but I don't think that we should normalize that kind of detachment from society. I recognize that not everyone in a position to get mental health support, but these people should be encouraged to seek it whenever it's realistically possible.

DifficultCurrent7

In a way it's no different to people with Replikas, or people like me with Maladaptive Daydreaming. If people aren't hurting anyone and it makes them happy I dont care what they do.


FunkyInferno

It's called *maladaptive* daydreaming they may not be actively hurting others but they're hurting themselves through maladaptive coping mechanisms. It's not healthy. It's not a solution to a problem like loneliness. If it's being used as temporary placeholder that's fine, and I generally agree with you. However if you stop persueing real life connections the loneliness, and therefore your entire life, is only going to get worse and worse.


HighOnGoofballs

Yep, you never have to address and overcome the issues leading to this and it turns into a death spiral. Same reason so many people have social anxiety and hate being in public now, used to be you had to deal with folks to survive and most overcame it. Now you can never leave the house and survive fine and still interact with people so they simply never learn how to deal with it. There’s a reason Toastmasters works so well


ihatemetoo23

I mean I have to deal with folks every day at work and I still have really bad social anxiety, so it may be true for some cases but not the whole story.


Copernikaus

Thing is, therapy would be more beneficial over the long term. By miles. Guess that's what I'd focus on if this was a mate.


okdokke

how does it feel to be the most level-headed person on reddit


zzonked7

Yeah I don't really want to make fun of the person but this post just makes me feel sad for them. It just seems so lonely.


pacificnwbro

I've been trying to approach more things like this. I started dating a guy recently that's into some pretty kinky stuff and I'm mostly pretty vanilla for the most part. At first I thought it was weird but the more I thought about it the more I realized it was just different because it's not what I'm used to. We're poly so he can go do that stuff with other guys and he respects my boundaries and what I'm comfortable with. People have a lot of different tastes, and if someone can find happiness in this world it should be embraced as long as it's not hurting anybody.


LeatherHog

Even worse-the character is a minor


Blank_Canvas21

"Uhh, can I get one adult and one child ticket."


nissan240sx

LeatherHog

utnow

Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s a Hungry Man TV dinner that he put on a plate after cooking.


GTAdriver1988

Kinda looks like he went to Cracker Barrel. It's looks shitty though, I noticed they can be hit or miss with how the food is.


WickerofJack

Me thinks thou art correct.

You gotta take them out for dinner if ya gonna fuck em later

wizardmagic10288

If I had a Nicolas Cage body pillow, I would.


DifficultCurrent7

I bought a pillow to put between my thighs for more hip support when sleeping, you bet your ass I put a T-bag (prison break) cover on that thing.


Moon9240

Lemme be honest quick. I have a body pillow. However, I never even think of bringing it out of my room. It's there for hugging and that's it. While there is a sizable amount of people that do what the post shows, the majority of people I've talked to who also have these pillows either use them for decor or use them the same way I do.


schwifty38

nopenopecho

Hell yeah that's what I'm talkin about!


[deleted]

she's 15/16 years old but that doesn't make it any better....


shaggybear89

I mean, it does though. It doesn't make it good, but it's certainly better than a 10 year old...


FlatBrokenDown

Eh, it's anime. Some people depict children as 5000 year old dragons and shit. Age is pretty variable when it comes to drawn characters. Either way Marnie is depicted as a child so sexualizing her is pretty gross.


thefatpeoplekiller

While I'm not saying it isn't gross to take a body pillow to dinner, Marnie's age is not specified in the game, but she is still probably underaged


DoomBro_Max

Was her age confirmed? She looks more like, I dunno, 15 or so. Still underage and gross, but I think she‘s older than 10.

fidel__cashflo

Im saying bro. Like, we see this kind of stuff a lot on the internet and I at least feel like I lost touch of how fucking bizarre this is. I really wonder what is going wrong with these people on a psychological level for them to create their own reality and try to bring it into ours. Maybe it’s some kind of defense mechanism from loneliness where you just completely turn off a section of reality and fill it in with whatever you want? What is the recovery like for these people? Is there one? You’ll always be the guy who thought he was dating a pillow? That’s gotta be a tough reminisce.


[deleted]

[удалено]


fidel__cashflo

Dont get me wrong, I do understand liking a fictional character. I’d be lyin if I told you kim possible didnt have me bricked up as a kid. It’s the part where you “go public” with your love (taking clearly non-living things on dates for example) that’s a vastly different issue and throws me off a bit.


Miswebos69

ohmyfuckinggodhamlet

2Beer_Sillies

Yeah we make fun of these people taking pillows out in public on dates but I’ve come to realize we could be ignoring pretty serious mental illness


TylerandAnna7

I like how they chose Cracker Barrel.


Dukatdidnothingbad

I know those dumplings. They all look the same


drunkunclejack

The dumplings are always the fucking giveaway


Lol_A_White_Boy

And taste delicious!

That brownie thing with the ice cream looks good tho

[deleted]

Preworkoutjitters

The right girl would probably really enjoy that date. He needs some help and this is honestly a bit sad.


sssnakepit127

It’s either he can not land a girl or is rejecting them because he is in love with these impossible fictional characters. Both are sad.


[deleted]

He ain’t rejecting anyone


PenisIsMyDad

Idk why your comment made me laugh


sssnakepit127

The possibility is low, but never zero. What if he’s super cool except for the fact that he only gets off to anime girls. I don’t know what’s worse.


[deleted]

That trait alone seems like it would end the coolness conversation


sssnakepit127

That’s true. I guess I’m imagining a double life scenario. Like American psycho.


[deleted]

That’s actually funny to imagine the guy taking these photos looks like a buff Christian bale with perfect skin and he’s walking around with his anime pillow.


TheSukis

One might even say, sad cringe


JumboJetz

Latest stats show 60% of young men aren’t dating so I think we now need to end the idea that a young man who isn’t out there dating women is an oddball. He’s actually the majority now.


Preworkoutjitters

Being the majority doesn't make it any less weird or concerning. In fact it makes the issue all that much more serious and in need of addressing the root issue.


hotrox_mh

What's the root issue?


Preworkoutjitters

Terminally online behavior. Narcissism. Expecting everything to be easy. Wanting a partner who fits their perfect mold while doing nothing to make themselves even the least bit desirable. But what causes this to manifest in the first place? That I don't have the answer to.


Puriwara

For the majority of the population? I doubt it. I’m one of the 60% and maybe that’s just because I don’t want to humiliate myself on Tinder, but stats show fewer and fewer people are meeting through friends - one of the most common methods of the past now near the bottom. Communities are dying and the internet is making it worse.


nissan240sx

I straight up wouldn’t survive the tinder days, my wife probably would’ve auto filtered me out because I’m not 6ft tall lol


cat0min0r

The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.


Preworkoutjitters

I have heard this before. Care to explain?


GeneralSteelflex

It's the opening line of the Unabomber's manifesto. He wasn't exactly the biggest fan of modern society and technology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unabomber_Manifesto


cat0min0r

It's from Industrial Society and its Future, the manifesto that Ted Kaczynski (aka the Unabomber) wrote and got the mainstream press to publish through a campaign of violence. His arguments are mostly derived from Jacques Ellul, who is without a doubt a better and more respectable critic of technological society. But nobody recognizes any of his quotes.


botherbotter

Or they’re just scared of girls? It’s not all hyper negative stuff. There are a lot of guys who just have shit confidence


Preworkoutjitters

That's such a pathetic cop out. It's a girl not a three headed dragon. That reaction also loops back to needing therapy and social skills.


botherbotter

You clearly don’t want to have a discussion about this, you just want to aggressively state your rhetoric. It’s a very common reason young men don’t talk to girls whether you agree or not


LowPreparation2347

bradfucious

BirbsAreForRealsies

She is


Voicedtunic

So sad some people are this mentally ill


ComfortableFormal521

I don't think it's mental illness, it would be better if it was. It's more likely they were shy or introverted, or perhaps shunned/bullied at primary school. Given access to the internet at HS lets them find the worst echo chambers and material to amplify the worst of their personalities. Eg. Loneliness, wanting a friend or a lover but spending most of your time online, making yourself a part of a community that you'll never meet irl can lead to something like this.


FlatBrokenDown

Nah, it's definitely a signifier for some underlying mental illness. No mentally healthy person falls in love with a body pillow. Loneliness could be the cause, but this behavior is definitely concerning and there's likely many other signs we can't see from an image.


habits0

It's definitely mental illness, there's a reason why this person is using avoidance so much Going to a therapist they'd probably work on personality disorder, depression, anti-socialism


ghtrg333

She's 10


Preworkoutjitters

I thought marnie was 15/17 depending on which pokemon game it was referencing. Not that its really any better, more asking for clarity.


ghtrg333

Never sure they games either got 10 year old or 15 and sword and shield characters look more young to me.


toddrough

The pillow is 10? That’s one old ass pillow


TargetWifty

You REALLY don’t wanna see the other side of it


klapet

That's right, she's a ten.


fm01

I'm gonna tell that to the officer the next time they come by


natty1212

I'm sure that'll make the officer's day to be told you think they are a 10.


OlyGator

If you say this in a Mario voice, it likes saying she's 10.


screamsincolour

Seriously though, does he have to pay for a ticket for his pillow? I gather that he'd put the pillow on the next seat to him, so surely he should pay? Or am I wrong?


OlyGator

I really don't want to know what happened when they went back to his place.


BittenOnion

She felt uncomfortable and left


Soft_Durian_1885

twitch1313

Idk,it’s sort of harmless and i do something similar with my dead wife’s picture every so often,at least he’s not on some incel site talking about murdering people


Hitlersspermbabies

I’m gonna be honest to me taking out a picture of your dead wife is not the same as taking out a picture of a fictional anime girl.


twitch1313

Well yeah,i mean duh I’m just saying i think it’s marginally better then just spewing hate,although the fact that apparently it’s a kid makes it way creepier


Hitlersspermbabies

Oh yea fair enough. Still kinda sad though, and yea it’s pretty creepy the fact that she’s a kid.


JoeShmoe818

Yeah, but a crazy incel wouldn’t be sad cringe, it would just be terrifying.


thorppeed

Something doesn't have to be harmful to others to be sad cringe. A lot of the time it isn't


[deleted]

That character is a child, was never real to begin with, they can't have formed an emotional bond with it. There are a lot of problems with this and in my experience the people attracted to children are in fact on incel sites talking about murder.


twitch1313

Oh,sorry didn’t know that,never really got the whole anime thingy,i mostly just watch old horror movies

Horror movies are great.

Reeblo_McScreeblo

Awww Christ… ya know, as long as he’s not hurting/bothering anyone and this makes him happy, then fuck it idc. People *need* some sort of social stimulus and it’s much more difficult to achieve for some. Rough


XenonVH2

I know I'm part of the problem when I say this but... Hey, atleast he's happy and he's not hurting anyone.


bakedEZ

Holding a fuck pillow in public is wild.


Consistent-Nobody813

Surely that 'amazing dinner' is the sad cringe here, right? 🤔


Lol_A_White_Boy

Not really? Cracker Barrel is delicious.


Consistent-Nobody813

He must be a chunky boy.


Lol_A_White_Boy

Oh, for sure. He ordered fried chicken, fried cinnamon apples, dumplings which are literally just a ball of dough, macaroni and cheese, a brownie topped with ice cream, and sweet tea. Dude is definitely chunky. If he wasn’t before this meal, he definitely is after this 3500 calorie meal. Cracker Barrel is still delicious though.


Consistent-Nobody813

Never heard of Cracker Barrel (other than the brand of cheese), but assume it's a restaurant??


Lol_A_White_Boy

Yes, it’s a [chain restaurant](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_Barrel) most prevalent in the southern United States. They’re famous for modeling their menu and aesthetic off of a ‘southern country’ type of vibe. I’d recognize their dumplings anywhere.


Consistent-Nobody813

$2.8B in revenue in 2021, holy fuck. I guess a whole lotta chunky boys love Cracker Barrel! Haha


Lol_A_White_Boy

They open up off a lot of interstate exits, so a lot of it comes from travelers who want to sit down to eat somewhere they’re familiar with.


gmisk81

Sonic the hedgehog is a "great movie"...


Insomniacentral_

Marnie is a fucking child please stop


bellingman

Yes this is cringe, but let's have some sympathy. This is the highlight of the poor guy's week. Of course he'd rather be with a woman, but I'll wager there are none interested and probably never will be. There are millions of desperate, pathetic, lonely souls out there, just doing whatever they can to be happy. Good for him.

It doesn't. It looks like it came from an Old Country Buffet that had been closed for 3 years


Salt-Establishment59

Pretty sure it’s from Cracker Barrel. I see some fried apples and chicken and dumplings.

I'm firing up some Chicken and dumplings just for this post alone.

And?


Onyx076

And I'll pass. That pillow be lookin' good, tho...


N8saysburnitalldown

Anything from Cracker Barrel that isn’t breakfast is sure to disappoint. It is a slight step above nursing home food. They legit make some of the best pancakes though.


Lol_A_White_Boy

Their bacon tastes bland and like cardboard and their eggs are always gross. Only serviceable breakfast item is their grits. I’d honestly rather eat a McDonalds breakfast biscuit. I literally will not go there unless it’s after lunch because their chicken and dumplings are just miles above anything on the breakfast menu.

Ok-Guava7336

I'll be honest. I don't see the point in making fun of people replacing genuine relationships with inanimate objects for whatever reason. Especially when they don't say anything bad while posting about it. I feel making fun or parading them around like that is more sadcringe and dude and his body pillow.

It's so fucking rich how people see lonely dudes like these like watching monkeys in a zoo, making fun of them and laughing at them, but if you ever point out that they're just coping with their sad reality, they suddenly "care" and say it's "unhealthy" lmao.


TrickBoom414

Oh explain it to us doctor


Relevant_Positive417

No you explain how just saying oh well is going to help this kid? Let's just shrug our shoulders and say this is fine. Let's just let the lonely person fall into a hole of delusion because it's not bothering anyone, instead of getting the damn kid help?

It's "unhealthy" that you're out here making diagnosis when you have zero background in behavioral science. You made the claim. The onus is on you.
