In short: Where should I go to develop genuine connections with good people?
Why post this in KIA2? Well, I'm lost, maybe this is the wrong place for this discussion. I'm this mix of a Christian who likes games, VR, anime, etc., and I don't feel like I fit in anywhere.
If I go to Japan, even tho I'm fluent, I'll never be a native Japanese citizen, and where are the wise amongst their people? The older generation is so quick to condemn; the younger generation, picking up on western leftism it seems.
If I go to church, most Christians / people in general haven't actually developed the wisdom Christianity could provide them with, and may not have anything to do with JP/games/anime/VR.
If I go to VRChat, even in the relatively better communities I find narcissistic feminist women, furries, leftists, etc. are a dime a dozen. As socialites, there are a rare few who have gained some wisdom, but as with other communities I've seen, few and far between.
If I go take a dance class, I find older, conservative men and women, a younger narcissistic feminist woman (but hey, at least I can connect with those women on games and anime...), a younger Christian woman raised in a broken family, lacked self-esteem and got plastic surgery and breast implants because of it... Seems maybe some other homeschooled girls out there, too...? (Where's the younger men? Playing video games I guess? XD)
If I go to an anime or game convention, well now you have all this mask and vaccine stuff and it just doesn't seem worth it anymore.
So, it seems to me that the wise are few and far between wherever you go, and just about any place people gather and like games/anime/VR is captured by leftism. So where am I supposed to go?
I feel like I need to create my own community, because the community I'm looking for just doesn't exist. I've written a 3D engine from scratch in Vulkan for VR that can do online multiplayer, maybe I'll just try and setup a little community there+Discord+Twitter+Twitch...? I'm not sure I'm cut out to be a community leader, but if I don't do it, I'm not sure who will.
Not sure if you have/would be interested in a Switch, but I've had some success and met some solid sanelings in the Splatroon community (jokes aside)
-It's pretty bad in pure terms of a competitive shooter (16 ticks per second, p2p server model, buggy netcode), but it's got the Nintendo polish on the aesthetic, worldbuilding, music, etc...Very playable and enjoyable if you can stomach the occasional random DC. Lots of anime vibes kept strictly PG-lite by Nintendo.
-Troon month was insufferable but again, Nintendo's brand image protection caps a lot of the faggotry at tolerable levels in the game proper. Several attempts to make everything about 'pronouns' via social media mobbing have failed. During June the occasional pushback post managed to float to the top of my plaza (i.e. 'I don't care if you're trans. Ink Base.' That got 'em butthurt, lemme tell ya.) Also, whether through organic unpopularity or an intentional crackdown, the recent 'Free Palestine' trend did not catch on. In general the demographic seems invested in preserving the escapism and repelling woketoid shit.
-Good intersection of gaming/anime with about as big a smattering of Christians as one could hope for in these times. Spotting someone with a Bible verse handle or something like 'JesusGirl,' etc...is a daily occurrence more often than not. And on the topic of girls, it's got one of the more balanced demographics. Many of them are there to git gud, not pontificate feminit manifestos.
-General discord servers are about what you'd expect. I'd recommend looking for smaller servers dedicated to 3rd-party tools (some of the discord bots that integrate with the game, Lean's tools, stat.ink, etc...) or less popular game modes (Salmon Run Server for example has a tolerable and contained fraction of woketoids)
It'll take some time. If you just roll in and look around you probably won't be thrilled about your prospects. Be patient, hit up some of those smaller places, and chances are I'll find ya eventually. Maybe mention that engine of yours or list off some neat anime both here and there, or something. Won't tell you outright it's me, but maybe you'll always suspect.
(This goes for anyone in the same or a similar boat as OP)
