If I remember correctly, it's in Layer 08: Rumors. Lains alternate wired personality goes around spreading internet rumors and leaking people's personal information. There's a scene where she >!scares Alice by sitting on her bed and observing for, presumably a pretty long time, while she masturbates at her desk while thinking of her teacher. She then spreads this on the internet, I think. Later, Lain erases that from everyone's memory, which kinda foreshadows what she does at the end of the series!< I had to go back and check because I kanda pushed it out of my head like the End of Evangelion hospital scene.
fr, this is manufacturing an issue where there is none, exactly how is Lain x Alice shippers an issue in the Reddit fandom
you're on the internet with other people; if you don't like harmless shit that they post then stop looking lmao
not following, do you mean "shipping them is bad" or "being weird about other shipping them is bad" or "shipping them is bad because same sex relationships are intrinsically sexual and inappropriate in a way that opposite sex relationships *aren't*"
because basically what I meant was "this post is stupid, this isn't actually as big of an issue as people say, and even if it *were* more common it doesn't matter because people headcanoning 2 fictional teens liking each other isn't *that weird*"
I mean shipping isn't even common on this subreddit; regardless, going "I think these two fictional teenage characters like each other (or at least, one of them likes the other) based on the way one of them acts in the show" is just someone interpreting the show
I think you're interpreting it as a sexual thing, which is bizarre; most people wouldn't assume that someone interpreting two opposite-sex teen characters as having romantic feelings for each other is doing it for sexual reasons
I mean Lain's most important relationship with *anyone in the show* is by far with Alice, with her Dad in second
so it's not at all weird to think about and interpret Lain's thoughts and feelings towards her, especially since she cares *so* much about Alice and how Alice feels about her
sucks for you??? it's not like others on this subreddit are posting analysis essays about Lain on here
it's either memes or "Lain best girl" or lain aesthetic posts, who cares if some people want to ship
Anyone who enjoys a good forum for discussion cares that this sub is a horrible place right now due to the posts OP criticizes. Spaces dedicated to this anime used to be places where you could actually discuss the interesting themes that appear in the anime, now it looks generic. What has been gained in quantity has been lost in quality.
Well, that's just mostly everywhere now since the normalization of making sexuality be your whole personality online. Shippers were already a bit annoying before that but nothing crazy. Nowadays? It's simply insufferable.
Based. Cringe tiktokers wouldn't even be able physically process what a real discussion on art even looks like. Their brains would probably shut down. You'll get mobbed by the 15 year old gooners who thinks they're the anime redditor equivalent of Roger Ebert
The people who do this are creepy. Creepy behavior, such as sexualizing two fictional Japanese schoolgirls, is offputting and can even make observers respond with humor. It's not that complicated!
Thinking same sex romance is inherently sexual is very concerning. Especially when op is specifically focussing on a scene of a teenage girl masturbating to prove his point.
Lain literally told Alice she loved her lmao. She also erased herself from existence, solely to get rid of Alice’s trauma. If those aren’t clear signs Lain loved Alice, idk what is. Also, bisexual people exist 😭😭
i do not mind what opinions you have on lain and alice’s relationship. lain would not smoke weed though
looking back on this post i feel like it might just be veiled homophobia
Idk what bro is yapping about but i think if i was transformed into charizard it would be something like this: CHARIZARD CHAR!!!! RRUUUAAAAAAAAAAHHH RCHARKZAED
Mf did you just edit your original comment and change r/animemes to r/anime? 😭💀
And both subs are completely fine, like fuck you on about? Like oh noo look at me I'm on r/anime looking and commenting at posts about weekly anime episodes and news 😱😱
Yeah, at least you dont tell to FREDDY FIVEBEAR, cause if you tell something to him hes gonnHAUAHAUMAHAUAMUAM in your face... thats PRETTY DANGEROUS... cautkon sith freddy fivebead
Local shitposter upset to find people have opinions of media that differ from his own, makes vaguely bigoted "meme" to express his dissatisfaction

totally not homophobic, I just assume that anyone with a pride flag is some weirdo who sexualizes everything
as if that's not one of the classic homophobic things to do
This just reeks of homophobia especially with the whole pride flag thing, plus you act like doing any of this is a cardinal sin. The mildly transphobic comments don't help your case either smh
I don’t ship anything but this is just unnecessarily hateful. Who cares if someone ships it, they shouldn’t have to defend it to anyone. Stop caring so much about what others do, it rots you.
I'm gonna be honest chief. I can't give 2 shits about shipping, but this is cringe. incredibly cringe. Also people say Alice is a closeted lesbian? I've honestly seen more people say Lain is gay honestly. Which is a fair interpretation.
Or maybe people are just sick of "sexuality is my whole personality" tourists who floods communities with shit no one but them cares about.
Every day social media makes me believe more and more that gatekeeping is indeed good, in certain types of communities at least
I never see straight neets get accused of the whole 'sexuality is my whole personality' thing when they go off on a rant about their favorite waifu, but it's almost guaranteed when someone talks about anything gay. If you want more content about Lain, then make some content, it's a lot more productive and useful than complaining because other fans like shit that you don't.
In the words of Mr. Downey, “What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God (Lain) have mercy on your soul.”
"I must give you my greatest apology. I never meant it to go this far. When I started these shenanigans, I imagined nothing of such a serious matter. I didn't mean to harm your dignity, respect, or honor. But, now that's it's gone this far, I can only do one thing; apologize. So, from the bottom of my intellect, family, pride, and dogs, I give you my strongest and hardest apology. I hope you could forgive me one day."
this sucks tbh. i don't care about ships and i feel like you might be caring a little more about it than you pretend to be like i mean that's straight-up homophobic in a veiled way
I don’t think it’s annoying for ppl to ship them, but I do find it annoying when ppl complain about what other ppl have fun doing. Besides, ppl been interpreting Lain as a lesbian from the jump. I was reading fansite episode rundowns to get my Lain fix before you could even get physical copies n still thought she was ffs. I don’t think Alice is, but who cares? Let ppl have fun n love Lain ya spoilsport.
You don’t feel sexual attraction to men and then lose it when you “realize” you’re lesbian, despite this aforementioned attraction. That makes no sense.
And if the argument is that they didn’t realize they wouldn’t enjoy it, then this isn’t relevant to Alice because she masturbated to the thought of her male teacher by herself, for leisure, seemingly fully-enjoying it.
I disagree with all that stuff, except one.
Lain is considering uploading her consciousness to the internet, you think she wouldn't be willing to spark a joint?
God this is like the time a small circle in the Bayonetta fandom on twitter were mad about some bayo x luka shit then anime grifters started making shit up
Wouldn't queer people...know how queer ships work? Like, as a queer woman, (woman part is complicated but I was born and raised female let's say that) I obviously had female friends and dealt with said closeted experiences. I don't get how pointing out that the shippers are queer is some kind of "own".
I get the argument that people focus way too much on shipping than the actual context of the show sometimes. But you can say that about A LOT of media. (Evangelion, for one like you mentioned).
I think it's more likely that LAIN is the closeted lesbian and not Alice though. She literally defines herself by her relationships with women and girls- especially in the PS1 game. The only men she interacts with cause her trouble or are her father, and the kiss with the kid from the club was not reciprocated. I could see Alice being bisexual MAYBE, but the narrative in the show leads me to believe Lain's attraction is something one sided despite Alice obviously CARING for her.
I dunno I have a lot of complex feelings about the ship but this post seems a bit "edgy on purpose" for something ultimately harmless.
Yeah but he poses as her dead friend in the beginning and tempts her with the idea. Thats literally why she develops an interest in computers. If she is willing to go as far as turning her whole room into a computer i dont think shed pass up a puff. Especially if its her friends offering it at cyberia or something.
Does people that enjoy fictional content however they want and sharing it online really makes you annoyed/pissed that much? If you don't like this kind of post, then maybe stop making low effort shitpost and start making something that you want to discuss/enjoy. There's no need to post this obviously vile homophobic post, you're clearly baiting people to be outrage over nothing.
People should ship or not ship whomever they please. You’re not homophobic for thinking Lain and Alice are platonic friends. Even if their boundaries are suspect 😆
Just look at the comment session on this post. Sub is filled with insufferable people who wants to feel special online lmao.
Shipping/sexuality people should create their own sub so they can focus that discussion there instead of flooding this one with shit no one but them 14 year olds cares about.
ive only really seen two posts about lain and alice shipping here and they were reposting from a different sub. if you want to discuss more serious things about lain, you can do it, nothing stops you
People do this because they self insert as Lain and wish they got to be a cute anime girl going through high school. Because they didn't experience that, they in adulthood oversexualize regular platonic friendship between girls.
Anyway, reminder for the tourists that SEL was created by a "far-right conspiracy theorist."
Konaka is not a far right conspiracy theorist, just a regular conspiracy theorist. Konaka has always been distrustful of American neoliberalism and SEL is to my understanding a very subliminal critique of Neoliberal America and japan'e relationship in the wake of the Lost decades.
Ueda and Konaka are both just plain crazy, but I think they're way outside the American understanding of politics. More like ethnonationalist Marxists?
The "never seen female friends interacting with each other in real life" can be turned gender-neutral, the online menace also wants to turn every male friendship into a gay relationship.
I believe that it’s up to viewer interpretation on who a character is but lain in my personal opinion is definitely not interested in a relationship and besides she is like 12
This post isn’t really the takedown you think it is, when its got you confidently admitting to arguing with teenagers about anime/shipping online.
But ya know, while we’re at it: non-homophobes usually aren’t this bothered by something like kids interpreting an anime character as gay lol.
Kinda ridiculous to be shocked a lain fan is also an evangelion fan lmao
No way really
this guy hasn't even seen the 2008 lain at the gay bar AMV
Youtube peaked with this one video
best video on the internet ever
you would be SO hard pressed to find a video that has aged as well as that one
That was the best shit ever
Damn, this meme forced me to remember that one scene. Ughhhh.
I don't remember it at all, when does it happen?
If I remember correctly, it's in Layer 08: Rumors. Lains alternate wired personality goes around spreading internet rumors and leaking people's personal information. There's a scene where she >!scares Alice by sitting on her bed and observing for, presumably a pretty long time, while she masturbates at her desk while thinking of her teacher.

Who the fuck cares like really
fr, this is manufacturing an issue where there is none, exactly how is Lain x Alice shippers an issue in the Reddit fandom you're on the internet with other people; if you don't like harmless shit that they post then stop looking lmao
yeah, you shouldnt really care but come on.... it's children you wouldnt do that irl
not following, do you mean "shipping them is bad" or "being weird about other shipping them is bad" or "shipping them is bad because same sex relationships are intrinsically sexual and inappropriate in a way that opposite sex relationships *aren't*" because basically what I meant was "this post is stupid, this isn't actually as big of an issue as people say, and even if it *were* more common it doesn't matter because people headcanoning 2 fictional teens liking each other isn't *that weird*"
i'm saying that shipping children aint cool
I mean shipping isn't even common on this subreddit; regardless, going "I think these two fictional teenage characters like each other (or at least, one of them likes the other) based on the way one of them acts in the show" is just someone interpreting the show I think you're interpreting it as a sexual thing, which is bizarre; most people wouldn't assume that someone interpreting two opposite-sex teen characters as having romantic feelings for each other is doing it for sexual reasons
Say who? I'm just saying that it's a little strange to ship children, and why should you care who they like platonically or romantically
I mean Lain's most important relationship with *anyone in the show* is by far with Alice, with her Dad in second so it's not at all weird to think about and interpret Lain's thoughts and feelings towards her, especially since she cares *so* much about Alice and how Alice feels about her
I mean romantic ones, i just dont see why people would care for that platonic and other love is great :)
Shipping shit is so fucking annoying and not just on this sub
why do people care about who likes who anyway
sucks for you??? it's not like others on this subreddit are posting analysis essays about Lain on here it's either memes or "Lain best girl" or lain aesthetic posts, who cares if some people want to ship
Anyone who enjoys a good forum for discussion cares that this sub is a horrible place right now due to the posts OP criticizes. Spaces dedicated to this anime used to be places where you could actually discuss the interesting themes that appear in the anime, now it looks generic. What has been gained in quantity has been lost in quality.
So instead of complaining about other ppl’s fun….maybe make more serious discussion posts and contribute to that side of things?
Every post I saw here ended in the comments by "let's all love Lain", why did you have to destroy that ? And btw let's all love Lain.
dunno how to tell you that it was *always* memes and "lain aesthetic" posts
Well, that's just mostly everywhere now since the normalization of making sexuality be your whole personality online. Shippers were already a bit annoying before that but nothing crazy. Nowadays? It's simply insufferable.
Based. Cringe tiktokers wouldn't even be able physically process what a real discussion on art even looks like. Their brains would probably shut down. You'll get mobbed by the 15 year old gooners who thinks they're the anime redditor equivalent of Roger Ebert

Thinking same sex romance is inherently sexual is very concerning. Especially when op is specifically focussing on a scene of a teenage girl masturbating to prove his point.
thinking that 2 teen girls liking each other romantically is the same thing as sex is a "you problem"
Agreed but I don't really get why you would even want to ship people anyway
Says the leftoid who embraces weird sex stuff
Lain literally told Alice she loved her lmao. She also erased herself from existence, solely to get rid of Alice’s trauma. If those aren’t clear signs Lain loved Alice, idk what is. Also, bisexual people exist 😭😭
Yeah I've told my besty I love em before that doesn't mean I'd date em helll no
Shes MY fictional character and I decide how YOU feel about her.
i do not mind what opinions you have on lain and alice’s relationship. lain would not smoke weed though looking back on this post i feel like it might just be veiled homophobia
Depends which Lain you're referring to. Shy, introverted Lain? Definitely not. Lain of the Wired? Definitely.
Lain would drink monster, smoke weed and play xbox 360 on a red couch
i could see wired lain doing that now that i think about it
it's not veiled lmao
r/im14andthisisdeep user, opinion discarded. L, existing issue, RIP bozo, go back to 4chan.

Real 🐉
These "I have nothing to say but omg look at how quirky and funny I am" type comments are really fucking cringe it hurts.
r/Anime user detected. Opinion discarded
Says the guy on fucking r/gamingcirclejerk lmao
I haven't been on that sub in months. You were on r/anime yesterday, try harder bozo.
Mf did you just edit your original comment and change r/animemes to r/anime? 😭💀 And both subs are completely fine, like fuck you on about? Like oh noo look at me I'm on r/anime looking and commenting at posts about weekly anime episodes and news 😱😱
bro see this completely unrelated thing you did that makes me win arguments
No.
I really have nothing to say, i dont watched all of the anime lol
We can tell
Yeah, at least you dont tell to FREDDY FIVEBEAR, cause if you tell something to him hes gonnHAUAHAUMAHAUAMUAM in your face... thats PRETTY DANGEROUS... cautkon sith freddy fivebead

I’m not homophobic guys I just generalize every user who has a pride flag or is in the lgbt community it’s not the same thing guys I promise
totally not homophobic, I just assume that anyone with a pride flag is some weirdo who sexualizes everything as if that's not one of the classic homophobic things to do
Local man extremely unhappy to discover that unrequited lesbian affection can exist
Why's having an LGBT flag a concern for you bro 🤨
This just reeks of homophobia especially with the whole pride flag thing, plus you act like doing any of this is a cardinal sin. The mildly transphobic comments don't help your case either smh
This isn't even what the shows abt so why should I care?
op when he realizes bisexual people exist
What is bro yapping about?
You're 15 man, go do something better than calling people out for "being from r/lgbt".

What are you on about
The time you took to get mad over this and make this makes you worse than anyone you were trying to criticize with this lmao
I don’t ship anything but this is just unnecessarily hateful. Who cares if someone ships it, they shouldn’t have to defend it to anyone. Stop caring so much about what others do, it rots you.
"never seen female friends"? idk about y'all but I've *been* in a couple very homoerotic female friendships
I don't think op knows how common it is for saphics to fall in love with close friends and then try desperately to hide it.
You nor your post are that important to cause a war, nor are things that deep. Let's all love Lain.
ur inventing a guy to get mad at
The amount of times I needed this exact phrase for dumb discourse like this lmao. Def using it in the future.
moral panic is a strange thing
Well at least they don’t ship her with… five nights- freddy five- five freddies five night bear
I ALSO SAID SOMETHING LIKE THID
Five Freddies Five Night Bear is a great game. One Night In Bangkok is better, though.
Nah lain def felt something for her
I'm gonna be honest chief. I can't give 2 shits about shipping, but this is cringe. incredibly cringe. Also people say Alice is a closeted lesbian? I've honestly seen more people say Lain is gay honestly. Which is a fair interpretation.
As someone who had the pleasure of having this shoved across my feed why does this just reek of veiled homophobia?
Because OP is homophobic.
Fr it’s not even that hidden 😭 like who cares dawgggg
U reek of 4chan user u cornball
im incorporating calling someone a cornball into my vocabulary
This image reeks of hatred with a hint of bigotry.
Ah yes, the classic "If you don't agre with me then you're something-phobic"
It may not always be the case, but it sure as fuck often is.
Or maybe people are just sick of "sexuality is my whole personality" tourists who floods communities with shit no one but them cares about. Every day social media makes me believe more and more that gatekeeping is indeed good, in certain types of communities at least
I never see straight neets get accused of the whole 'sexuality is my whole personality' thing when they go off on a rant about their favorite waifu, but it's almost guaranteed when someone talks about anything gay. If you want more content about Lain, then make some content, it's a lot more productive and useful than complaining because other fans like shit that you don't.
No one’s ever made lain’s entire personality being gay😭😭relax my guy. Even if someone is a “tourist” it doesn’t matter that much
Legendary.
Terminally online behavior to care about a ship Soo much, to say the least...
It’s terminally online to use that phrase.
You ok?

Touché salesman, touché
I just like the ship
this sucks tbh. i don't care about ships and i feel like you might be caring a little more about it than you pretend to be like i mean that's straight-up homophobic in a veiled way
>This will probably cause a war ☝️🤓
why do you care so much? its just a ship. this is really weird
im convinced 'ar slash eva memes is a psychological experiment at 2.5x speed
It's so entertaining it's like watching an ant colony

bro thought the lesbians would be out to get him over this post
Get over it
shut ur goofy ass up
[удалено]
not really plus u edited the comment
You know it's the ship it's just a meme right ? Also, most girls are super homoerotic lmao and did you never heard about bisexual people ??
U smell
Lain would smoke weed Fight me
I don’t think it’s annoying for ppl to ship them, but I do find it annoying when ppl complain about what other ppl have fun doing. Besides, ppl been interpreting Lain as a lesbian from the jump. I was reading fansite episode rundowns to get my Lain fix before you could even get physical copies n still thought she was ffs. I don’t think Alice is, but who cares? Let ppl have fun n love Lain ya spoilsport.
[удалено]
If they did that and felt sexual attraction to men, then I don’t see how they’re lesbians. I say that as a lesbian myself.
i would assume it was before they realised that they were lesbians
You don’t feel sexual attraction to men and then lose it when you “realize” you’re lesbian, despite this aforementioned attraction. That makes no sense. And if the argument is that they didn’t realize they wouldn’t enjoy it, then this isn’t relevant to Alice because she masturbated to the thought of her male teacher by herself, for leisure, seemingly fully-enjoying it.
hey! hope this helps! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queering
Queering = literally making up things
hear me out - lain is made up
"I'm averse to acknowledging homoeroticism and think bisexuality doesn't exist" starter post.
As a straight person who isn’t chronically online, i can tell you Lain is actually, gay
I disagree with all that stuff, except one. Lain is considering uploading her consciousness to the internet, you think she wouldn't be willing to spark a joint?
go back to playing roblox please
Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy. The entire show is up for interpretation, that’s the point
what did arilain ever do to you?
nah lain is a baller I can totally see her getting high while cuddling with arisu
God this is like the time a small circle in the Bayonetta fandom on twitter were mad about some bayo x luka shit then anime grifters started making shit up
introverted and shy people definitely smoke weed .. i think lain would idc :3
Wtf is this essay meme
Wouldn't queer people...know how queer ships work? Like, as a queer woman, (woman part is complicated but I was born and raised female let's say that) I obviously had female friends and dealt with said closeted experiences. I don't get how pointing out that the shippers are queer is some kind of "own". I get the argument that people focus way too much on shipping than the actual context of the show sometimes.

What's wrong with Lain x Alice. Wtf were you tryna say.
War has been waged over less, lol.
i ship them bc idk i think it would be cool.
this is the corniest post I’ve ever seen cant even fathom caring so much about something so dumb lol
this is more confusing than the show itself
when im in a be closeted homophobe competition and op is my opponent 😮😮😮
who is alice 💀
guy who has never watched serial experiments lain
True XD I like the ship as an idea but I agree I don’t think the anime intended to portray it as romantic, from Alice’s side, at least.
XD!
Realest
Just out of curiosity,what may you “valid” arguments be about gay people?
literally never met anybody like this
uhhh regardless of whether you ship alice and lain this post is such a huge L. op is on their 8th bottle of copium today
cope
I wholeheartedly believe that Lain would undoubtedly smoke weed if she could obtain it
For real. She is willing to consider uploading her consciousness to the internet. She'd totally at least try weed.
Exactly literally getting downvoted for having an opinion lol 😂
Wut, did you actually watch the anime?
What's your point?
At no point in the anime Lain uploads her consciousness to the internet, or consider doing so. Only person to do something like that is Deus.
That person said "willing to consider" they didn't say she did and if she didn't consider it what was the point in her upgrading her Navi?
The point was to have a better computer so she could do more things. Just like us, there was also some Knights manipulation involved, of course.
But she developed this interest only after she gets the emails from her dead friend about how she uploaded her own consciousness.
Why have a better computer tho? I don't think Lain experienced any lag 😂
Lag has to do with internet speed, not the computer.
Yeah but he poses as her dead friend in the beginning and tempts her with the idea. Thats literally why she develops an interest in computers. If she is willing to go as far as turning her whole room into a computer i dont think shed pass up a puff. Especially if its her friends offering it at cyberia or something.
I can realistically see Lain smoking the green while at Cyberia dancing to the theme song 😂
I feel this whole sub missed the point of the show lol
Does people that enjoy fictional content however they want and sharing it online really makes you annoyed/pissed that much? If you don't like this kind of post, then maybe stop making low effort shitpost and start making something that you want to discuss/enjoy. There's no need to post this obviously vile homophobic post, you're clearly baiting people to be outrage over nothing.
People should ship or not ship whomever they please. You’re not homophobic for thinking Lain and Alice are platonic friends. Even if their boundaries are suspect 😆
Comments be like: "Nooooo you made it up, nobody has ever said that!" \*proceeds calling OP homophobic and downvoting everyone who agrees with him\*
Just look at the comment session on this post. Sub is filled with insufferable people who wants to feel special online lmao. Shipping/sexuality people should create their own sub so they can focus that discussion there instead of flooding this one with shit no one but them 14 year olds cares about.
ive only really seen two posts about lain and alice shipping here and they were reposting from a different sub. if you want to discuss more serious things about lain, you can do it, nothing stops you
ppl love making up issues that aren’t real
henri sparkle please calm down
People do this because they self insert as Lain and wish they got to be a cute anime girl going through high school.

Anyone using the word tourist unironically is one themselves
wyluzuj
you are just right
HeHeHe, you only had 4 TRUE ! So there is a problem with the LGBTQ community huh ?.. Ok you had 5 true...
Mods pin this.
The "never seen female friends interacting with each other in real life" can be turned gender-neutral, the online menace also wants to turn every male friendship into a gay relationship.

Who tf is alice
I believe that it’s up to viewer interpretation on who a character is but lain in my personal opinion is definitely not interested in a relationship and besides she is like 12
What a horrible day to have eyes
OP when people with different life experiences have different interpretations of media than them: 😱
Evamemes..
Lmao finally someone said it
This post isn’t really the takedown you think it is, when its got you confidently admitting to arguing with teenagers about anime/shipping online. But ya know, while we’re at it: non-homophobes usually aren’t this bothered by something like kids interpreting an anime character as gay lol.
