The stereotypical fans and the fact that many people see cartoons as a children's medium. Combine the two things I just said and you get socially awkward, obsessed Anime fans who are seen having an obsession over "cartoons".

You'll be surprised at how many people are actually into Anime, maybe not in the MAL sense, yet they shy away from bringing it up. As long as the Weaboos, social outcasts, etc.. outwardly represent the medium's fanbase, then Anime fans as a whole are going to continue having to deal with this negative reputation.

Brace yourself.

Soon as LotGH 2017 comes out. The anime community is going to become so cancerous you will need to take cover and hide.

It's simple, these type of people are what you call attention whores, you shouldn't even care what they post.
Having an opinion you don't like and expressing it ≠ attention whoring

I am sorry for not having Nisekoi and NGNL in my favorites

These are the same people who think video games encourage violence and that anyone who plays them is a nerd that should be beat up.

Out of touch people who aren't worth the air they breathe. Fuck'em.

Basically, this.
Think about it - to mainstream media, anime and video games are competition. That's why they tell evil lies about them, to get them banned and get rid of competition.

I despise lolicons and those who defend them. They're pedophiles denying their problem, calling it differently instead of seeking help.

1) There is no way to seek help for that. Here, have a Cracked article:
http://www.cracked.com/personal-experiences-1658-5-ways-were-making-pedophilia-worse.html

2) Even if they did, psychology doesn't work anyway. (the only accepted branch of knowledge that's worse than psychology is economics)

3) Unless you can prove otherwise, attraction to exaggerated anime lolis is not the same as attraction to real life little girls.

4) Pedophilia is when you're attracted solely to little girls. Being so lonely you're attracted to anything with a vagina is a normal thing that just happens when your love life doesn't work out.

But you don't have an opinion. You just have a stupid picture that makes an unscientific claim that anime somehow causes cancer. When we'll take over the world, people making such claims will be shot.

I was thinking of making a thread with a similar theme - I was going to ask the question:

"Does main stream culture look down upon / Demonize Otaku culture? And even more so Shut-ins?, If so why do they do this? What are they so scared of that they must demonize people who like anime and otaku culture? ARe we that much of a threat to them lol?"

Of course, you can't forget the conspirological part.
Everybody knows that mainstream media work for the government, which is evil and authoritarian and likes to ban things. They'd ban fun outright if they could get away with it. Anime is fun, that's why they hate it and want to ban it.
The only thing they hate more than fun is shut-ins and other people who refuse to slave away for them.

A interesting thought came to me just now.

People who are actually familiar with anime understand that it is a diverse medium intended for different people: there's anime for children about little girls, there's anime for adults about insanity, there's anime for teenagers about superpowers, and there's anime for horny adults about tentacle rape. Everything has its place and doesn't harm the intended viewer.

But for an outsider, all anime is a homogenous mass of superpowered little girls mind-raped by tentacles in a show intended for adults who think they are children. Or something like that. And it's pretty scary, and you don't want your children to watch it.

I would say it has a good rep in everywhere but the United States. Why? Because 77% of the U.S. is Christian. And they think that anime = hardcore pornography. But those who don't think it's hardcore porn think that it's just a bunch of kids shows. I actually got called a "weeaboo faggot" at my first high school for liking anime. :/

I wonder if it's an American thing. I expected negative reactions when I was in the military but people either talked to me about anime that was on TV or just went "huh, cool".

I would say it has less to do with Christians and more to do with how the anime community behaves sometimes. they sometimes behave like angry and hostile neckbeards or one of those "kawaii kawaii desu desu" (speaking very bad japanese in every other sentence types) and will go kamikaze on you if you dare criticize the country they worship or anything related to it. I knew a guy who behaved that way and i didn't want to come off like him so i always kept the fact that i like anime to myself.

Because watching anime makes you less of a person than others

Especially if it's perverted and has pedophilia in it

Family Guy is actually a good show btw. Especially the older seasons when they were still funny. Same goes for The Simpsons. They got nothing on Bojack Horseman or Archer tho
And no animation can compete against movies.

Ironically I found the Japanese men to be far more cringe worthy. They're exploiting Davido's private life in order to keep their television show afloat. It's actually far more pathetic than a docile, easy going guy who just wanted to live his life in peace and be left alone.

It's you who can't deal with the facts. Facts that Japan makes better media than your country.
Oh, you're from Australia. I'm sorry. Your country just doesn't make any media at all, so it's not like it was a valid comparison in the first place.

I'm not denying they produce better things than Australia and I couldn't care less about that.

Although what is fact is that they don't produce any music, television, movies, comics or books better than the US.

How is Family Guy's bland artstyle and pseudo-offensive jokes are better than Digimon Tamers or Evangelion?

Really? I thought they were quite funny. I didn't find anything cringe-worthy about them. Though, Davido was to be cringed, especially when he just took their insults. He's a leech that lives off his parent's salary. That's quite pathetic to me.

I didn't watch the whole video, I won't call Davidokun a saint. Many things about his life are disagreeable. But if two scrawny Asian men started filing through my personal belongings to mock me on television, I'd show them what an angry Italian can do.
