There used to be a thread detailing the horror stories of Anime doll owners. People would imbue them with personalities and make cat ladies look sane.

Not Anime dolls. Asian Ball-jointed Dolls. :science: The best are from Korea.

The craft involved in these is incredible. As are the price tags. My sister spent over $1800 on a single doll, which then needed to have its wig made and clothes created.

It's a testament to how judgmental I am, I scoffed heartily at this, despite dropping over $900 on my computer when I was 21 and clearly did not have the funds to do so. Yay Ramen.

Yea, I think ball joint dolls are really cool but every time I like, google them to see if there's anything interesting or whatever the first results are always the nexus of spergy. People talking about how their dolls are just like their kids and posting pictures taking the doll on walks around the city and how they just NEED to spend five hundred dollars to buy precious Sakura-chan the right colored eye balls or they might as well just throw her out!

Also in case you have a life and kiss girls and poo poo and don't know anything about ball jointed dolls, they're like, super customization focused, so there's always poo poo like pics of a doll stripped down and with her head removed and opened up and it's always extra unsettling given the previous aspects of the communities.

Like, imagine if the cat lady at work ALSO had a jar full of cat eyes that she spent her entire paycheck on just one pair, and she constantly obsesses about getting the exact right shade of blue to put in her cats.

Understandably there is also quite a bit of crossover between anime fans and ball jointed doll collectors. You can buy pre-made dolls of your favorite character with every detail perfect and insanely detailed clothing. The costs are so high that it might as well be a one-off. The same company that makes the dolls also makes some of the best resin scale models. I had the "pleasure" of visiting the flagship store in Tokyo and then in Nagoya. I saw multiple people dropping $1000+ dollars on parts. There were dolls costing well over 5k and I know of one that someone bought used for 10k.

I have one from when I was a dumb teenager, and I think it's actually standard for them to have weird tiny dicks at least. God knows why, I definitely wasn't expecting it and it was hilarious opening the box in front of my parents and just bam tiny resin penis. All the clothes and wigs were so expensive that I basically stood the poor chap on a shelf (after putting his default clothes on for a bit of dignity) and never touched him again. Oh well!

I loving love Jacob Klamer and show him to everyone. There are so many great things about this video.

"Oh my, oh my!"
"the end"

And that fact that his personality is so fake that he has to really, really think, "how would I describe Elvis?" and the best he can come up with is "musical... person".

Like, I wonder if he does that voice when he's at home. If someone comes over, and he does the voice, will his mother say "Jacob, why are you talking like that?"

God I love Klamer. You'd really think someone so desperate for attention would have a blog or something.

I would genuinely love to hang out with this guy, just to see if he could keep the act up for extended periods of time, and how he reacts to different situations. Do you think he kept it up when the police were searching him?

Haha, yeah I noticed.

I know a guy who went to Canada for a month and came back with a (clearly false) Canadian accent, which he claimed he just picked up. Since a child I've pronounced "three" like "free", about a year ago I tried to correct it, still now I catch myself using the "f" sound if I'm not really thinking about it, and that's just one phonetic sound. How insanely in your head all the time must you have to be to keep up a false accent like that? It seems like a lot of effort to just look like an idiot.

People pick up on others' speech patterns subconsciously as a way to endear themselves to them or empathize. However, that doesn't stop people from making one up.

My wife has a twin brother who speaks with a fake accent. Their mother is South African, but they have only ever lived in the US. Being twins, they were really never more than 20 feet apart for their entire childhood. He moved to another state as an adult, and came back and started talking with this fake accent to impress girls. Whenever his new girlfriend meets his family, they are always surprised that nobody else in his family, including his twin sister, speaks like he does.

It's pathetic.

Ugh whenever I talk to my SoCal friends I always pitch my voice higher and say "like" and "right, yeah, totally" way more. I can hear myself doing it and it drives me nuts. Then again, when I'm talking to NorCal people I don't know well, I talk slower, lower, and more abruptly. WHO AM I

It's called Echolalia. My Dad does it a lot, he moved from Northern to Southern England in his twenties and now he talks with a Southern accent here and his original accent up North, or around his northern friends. Not only that but it happens with any accent, after a few minutes talking to someone he'll start picking up a twinge of their accent. I assume it's a side effect from "learning" a new accent when he moved.

There is however a massive difference between sub-consciously synchronizing your accent to your location/people around you and forcing a fake one all of the time for attention.
