Would you be able to befriend someone who constantly dunks on your faves, or is that a dealbreaker for you?

Sure! So long as the subject of our contradicting favorites never came up in a conversation. The fur would definitely fly afterwards I guess! XD

I’m still good friends with people whose political views are completely opposite of mine. We’ve spent decades poking fun at each other’s beliefs and still stayed close, Often time even shitting on each others beliefs and getting in aggressive arguments over shit. So the idea of not being friends with someone over something as petty as Anime taste is laughable. If one of those friends mocked the Anime I watch, I’d probably bust out laughing my ass off, because that would mean they would have had to actually sat through and watched the trashy shit I’m into in the first place. lol

Beyond that, I trash on the Anime taste of some of my real life friends all the time... As an example, I was totally shitting on "Chainsaw man" when one of my friends actually went out and bought that shit for the Steelbook edition of the series at a Wal-Mart recently. lol

It was payback, really. This friend had been mocking me for paying an inflated price for an unopened copy of the "Agent AIKa" remastered edition “again”, just because one of the discs was missing from my original set. He said shit like... “Dude, you’ve got this on Japanese Laserdiscs, the Lace in Space VHS copy, the original Central Park Media DVDs, etc… do you really need to own animated panty shots remastered that badly just because one disc is missing?”. lol

But it was pretty typical, they never liked "Agent Aika" and always called it low bar 90s garbage. lol

He also made fun of the fact that I bought an unopened copy just to eventually open it up, saying I should have just gotten a used copy, even though at the time, no one was selling used copies anyway. lol

Hating Monster Musume makes them bug people instantly.

Jk
I do not mind what people think of my favs. I know not everyone fits the target demographics to enjoy certain media.

Depends on how they dunk. And why we connect.

Most of my fav characters are villains. So if someone doesn't hate them, then I'd be worried about them

Probably not, I have friends who hate anime and they know I like it. Sure they dunk on me for liking anime (not just my favorites) but I dunk on their tastes as well. We then move on, no harm no foul.

I don't think that should be a problem at all. Personal attacks are a different story.

I usually don't mind, but it depends on the reasons of their hate, I avoid to befriend close-minded prudes.
No, this isn't my signature.

Who hates it normally? Sure. Generally people of this kind are willing to admit that it's just not their cup of tea, and not necessarily "dogshit".

Who constantly dunks on it disrespectfully? Probably not. These kind of people tend to generalize their statements as if they're facts instead of opinion which can indirectly mean that they think the people who love anime hated by them have "shit taste".
