The guilty pleasures thread.

Fairy Tail. After the Grand Magic Games' infamous Memetic Loser ending, it's especially problematic to admit you like the series beyond that point.

The Direct-to-DVD Barbie films.

I'm not going to justify this.

Mindless sitcoms. All I need to do is be awake enough to see the screen.

This site. That is all.

Kirby Right Back At Ya, especially the english dub. Also, most fanfiction.

I am a 23 year old man with a graduate degree studying terrorism in Central Africa. I have a Bill Cipher avatar. I will offer no justification for this.

Celine Dion, and all the Narm and chest-pounding oversinging that goes with her.

I like to watch Go Animate videos ironically. Riffing them is fun!

Taylor Swift. First it was The Story of Us, We are Never Getting Back Together, I Knew you Were Trouble, and now Shake it Off. I'm a bit worried

Reading fanfiction for things I haven't actually read, and fandom in general.

My guilty pleasures are Rosario To Vampire, and Rule 34'ing Yotsuba&!. Also, this sexy piece of ass.

Hellsing. I don't like any of its individual components, but I still like it.

Despite the fact that my title here for a long time was "Assassin of Imouto Anime", I enjoyed the first season of Oreimo. That second season and the OV As can indeed be assassinated.

I'm sure Keroro Gunsou would weird out anyone normal, it being a slightly-pervy, off-the-walls anime about alien frog invaders. Luckily I don't hang out with many normal people.

My guilty pleasure food is Speculoos cookie butter. Everyone should try it.

I like this game quite a bit. The characters are funny, the plot is fun, the music is great, the game has relatively few glitches (there was one that only existed in the Japanese version— It changed Skydye Heights's music into Sogwood Forest's music if you answered the quiz there correctly. It's: "Bottom, Top, Top, Top, Top" answer), and it's overall pretty great.

Hentai manga. I have a otaku-ish interest in it, especially manga pre-2004. I am not ashamed.

Playing games, too much games too often.

Sugar, any form, tons of it daily - chocolates, creams and whatnot.

Despising lesser beings that don't play sandbox Pv P MMORP Gs - I know it's wrong and they - sometimes - have brain and heart and feelings, but I just can't stop enjoying that feeling of superiority :)

I ship Bill Ford......ALOT. XD

Only one that I know of: "Wolf" by EXO. You'll see why if you look up the translation of the lyrics. A So Bad, It's Good Ear Worm to the extreme.

The Elmchanted Forest, The Legendary Starfy, and a comic I forgot about but I seem to remember it stars two dudes with ties: A white-and-green guy and a brown-and-red guy.

Some Limp Bizkit songs are guilty pleasures for me. I know LB are the punching bag of the music world but they have songs I like. Nookie, Faith, Stuck, Counterfeit, and Rollin'.

I would say that Dog and Scissors is the best guilty pleasure anime I like. It's so stupid but I had a smile on my face when I was watching it. It's one of those anime you have to turn your brain off to like.

America's Next Top Model has become a not-so-guilty pleasure for me as of late. I mainly just watch it when I'm feeling petty and can access my mom's Hulu account. I'm sure she's very proud of me.

Also Hetalia/Danganronpa MMD videos because I hate myself.

This thread. :D

Taco Bell. It is my go-to comfort food after a bad day. I don't know why. I don't CARE why. All I know is that inhaling a taco and a chili cheese burrito can greatly improve my mood.

Pocoyo, even though it's for preschoolers.

Country music.

Swearing. I'll admit, I can get a bit gratuitous with it.

Alcohol, especially dark beers and strong cocktails. I try to keep it to a dull roar (2-3 drinks per week), but will occasionally still get absolutely hammered (maybe once or twice a year).

If ever I have a day where I drop ALL the F bombs on my fellow drivers, hit up Taco Bell on the way home, listen to nothing but the country station, and munch on my burrito while watching Pocoyo, please send hugs. But not alcohol, because I'd be too distraught at that point for drinking to be a good idea.

I admit I like Bad Rage-comics, the shittier the more I laugh as people try to force the most ridiculous stories into such a crap format. I also like Ratboy Genuis. I am still waiting for Sweet Hella Quest to update because I like it better then even homestuck itself.

In a fashion / look thing, the 1980s Jock look - something about the idea of building up my body and having long hair just...I don't know, its difficult to justify wanting that kind of look.

Yes. I am trash for 1980s fashions and that 1980s jock look. I blame my upbringing. (I was born in 1981, so I spent my childhood soaking in it)

Sometimes I still get disappointed that I can't just flounce around looking like something out of Jem and win the heart of a longhaired jock.
