It doesn't matter if those gloomy, "unkempt" girls are your looksmatch, they're still fantasizing about chad.
One of the most brutal blackpills is how the gloomy unkempt girls in anime go for the "bullied" or "outcast" main character, and you feel like you can identify with him, like he is you.
But then you objectively look at his face and realize that even if there's some gigachad chars slightly better than him in the show that he's still basically above-average in appearance and his Chadlitehandsomeness is far closer to gigachad than to you.
These waifus we pine for are basically "not shallow" because the value a 8/10 Chadlite with a good personality over a 10/10 gigachad with a bad personality.
That does occasionally happen IRL (less so than with anime waifus of course) but it's still not exactly the dramatic inspiration we're looking for.
That said: most of the waifus we pine for are drop-dead cute too. The "imperfections" they have relative to gigastacy are just because she's stacylite, not even a becky really.
I can only ever remember one exception to this with supporting cast of an old baseball anime I watched called Touch where you have a slightly ugly guy (maybe 6/10) named Isami Nishimura who had a crush on the heroine (Minami Asakura) who was the love interest of the main Chad char Uesugi Kazuya
He's constantly expressing his love for Minami and constantly getting shot down.
Albeit politely (Minami is goddess of tact) so it's hard to hate her for it, I didn't at the time and still don't.
Throughout the series Isami Nishimura has such extreme oneitis that he constantly rejects this one girl Suzuko who keeps chasing after him.
It's 100% understandable as she is a landwhale (not a fit gymnast like Minami) and it's sort of similar to the "Hinata chases Naruto but he DGAF because chasing Sakura" dynamic under more realistic circumstances because she's not as much of a cutie as Hinata and also they're not magic ninjas.
Over time I just got the biggest crush on Suzuko though because it's not like she's always chasing Chad or just making passes at any guy she thinks is in her league: she 100% fixates on her love for Isami Nishimura and you kind of admire her for that. I normally don't like landwhales (it makes me think of my own lack of discipline) but she is a hard-working girl (she manages the baseball team!) so a little overindulgence with food is kinda forgiveable.
Her chasing Isami is basically played for laughs most of the show. She is basically near-crying every time he rejects her because of his unrequited oneitis for Minami so you can't help but feel for her and wish you could be the BF that would make her happy. Isami regularly lightly chides Suzuko being ugly to try and get her to GTFO, and part of the contrast is that Minami is never so brutal in her rejections. I don't know if that necessarily makes her any better: Minami is likely rejecting Isami over looks the same way that Isami is rejecting Suzuko over looks, Isami is just more honest about it.
Isami's GAR moment though is when some random Chadlites are SERIOUSLY bullying the shit out of Suzuko though, and she's actually crying about it, collapsed kneeling on the ground and sobbing. This flips a switch and he beats the fuck out of them and it's fucking awesome.
Maybe some of you might think it's based to mock a landwhale and maybe the majority deserve it, but Suzuko didn't deserve that so I think it was cool to stand up for her. I think in a way it was Isami making up for his own light mockery of her (even though she sorta deserved isome admonishment by constantly harassing him, he did tend to go slightly overboard) by defending her that one time.
Damnit I want to watch it again but I don't really have time to watch another 101 episodes, this is nearly LOGH-tier and there's so much shit I haven't seen yet but fuck I want that feel of watching Touch for the first time again. Some of you please enjoy that in my place.
Dont be here. You are young and should have hope. This place is for 22 year old hugless, dateless and kissless virgins like me
You don't need to be fucking hugless, that's just purity spiralling.
I'm not hugless because in elementary school there were a bunch of girls who wanted to virtue-signal how empathetic they were and so went and hugged every single member of the class on the last day, even the most disgusting guys they would never date/kiss/fuck.
