I'm not sure if you can call this a guilty pleasure, but when I was younger, I would pourpously watch cringy anime.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I used to be really into the show and although I don't watch it anymore, I still like the show for its characters and world.
I feel no guilt! I feel weird talking about games or anime around family though. They all thing I'm a nerd and make fun of me. So I usually keep it all to myself.
I hadn't responded to this thread earlier because I genuinely could not think of a 'guilty' pleasure. However, after pondering the matter, I can think of one: when someone is playing a game (video, board, card, or whatever), and that person makes a big mistake, or is otherwise caught in a bad situation, I tend to laugh. For whatever reason, watching people mess up is amusing to me, partly as a jab to the person for getting there in the first place, but more so to see how the person will recover or get out of it. I find it fun to watch people try. I find it even more fun to watch people try and then fail. There's my guilty pleasure.
Mediocre FPS games are a big one for me. Also Roblox. I've spend an embarrassingly large amount of money through the years on robux. I'd say anime but I don't really watch that much anime anymore. I may get back into it at some point though.
Movies: The recent Baywatch movie Sucker Punch The Boss Most Will Farrell comedies The Polar Express TV: Wild Kratts Deadly 60 Paranormal Survivor (and most ghost tv shows at that) Pingu Music: 80s Hair Metal Bubblegum pop
Children cartoons. I dunno, I like how charming and innocent they are ;_____; Like Angelina Ballerina, Dinosaur Train, etc
I remember setting alarms at like 3 am in order to talk to dudes on Mystic Messenger lmao. Definitely a guilty pleasure.
Why do I imagine @Shockwave as the red-haired guy and me as the black-haired one in this situation X'D
Most of mine are things that are perfectly acceptable on the internet, like certain movies, video games, tv shows, and fanfiction. Then there’s showtunes. I LOVE showtoons, whether from actual musicals, tv, movies, even some video game tracks if it’s good enough, but I don’t think the last one really counts as a show tune. I am a sucker for superheroes. Love the Marvel movies especially. Also, love character driven stories. I don’t care what they are doing, if I enjoy the character enough, and they aren’t out of character, I will be interested. Finally, I am a huge fan of romance, but I find myself especially drawn to the childhood friend trope for some reason. Amourshipping, Phinbella, Whatever you call Sun x Lillie, Mipha x Link (only BOTW. The others I ship with their respective Zeldas), and DDLC’s MC x Sayori, and a ton of others. I have no clue why half of my OTPs are under this trope!
