Review of WataMote: No Matter How I Look At It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!

autistic girl swagger. watamote perfectly captures what its like (at least in my experience) growing up as an autistic losergirl outcast a lot of criticisms i see are reasons why i love it so much so i want to give my opinion on the main ones -painfully uncomfortable to watch -tomoko is pretty shitty most of the time -nothing happens and she doesnt make progress/get any better1. painfully uncomfortable to watch

it is uncomfortable to watch because its uncomfortable to live through. being a complete outcast is uncomfortable and relentless. its uncomfortable because its a realistic depiction of life in an uncomfortable situation

2. tomoko is pretty shitty most of the time

probably one of my favourite things about watamote. its a shitty situation and being a good person is not realistic most of the time but it doesnt make her a fundamentally bad person. try to put yourself in her shoes, you feel so alone and rejected by everyone and it hurts of course youre going to internalise it and start to dislike people - other people represent all of the hurt and all of the rejection and the life that you want so desperately but cant have, shes not a bad person shes just a kid struggling alone

3. nothing happens and she doesnt make progress/get any better

welcome to being a chronically socially inept + socially anxious social reject kekek

ps. if anyone reading this is in the same situation i know how shitty it is and how relentless it feels but there is a happy life out there waiting for you n i hope u find it i know its not easy but you can do this n u deserve to be loved n all that goofy stuff <3
good luck out there soldier, godspeed *salute* :)
