| If you watch anime you deserve to be bullied so no this has never happened because I don't watch anime. |
| It happened in elementary school. I was always made fun of because I watch anime. But that was in a freaking village. Now when I'm in the city nobody actually gives a crap about somebody watching anime. |
 |
| Insulted? No. I don't think anyone has ever insulted me for watching anime. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
Just don't tell anybody you like Anime and no one will insult you |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| "You watch those filthy cartoon porn?! How disgusting of you! Get out of my face you sick bastard scum!" -The setting in a new LN called "You got transported to a normie fantasy land because you suddenly die as you were fap*ng to your 2D waifu" |
| No, but I've insulted other people irl for having shit taste in anime. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Lol I have never personally been mistreated over anime and I'll never let anyone treat me in such a way, you should be speaking with them not making a thread about it imo. |
| this was 3 years ago lol. 2 familiars of mine were insulting me and another friend to the ground. After that I explained why anime is better then there horrible walking dead and flash. one of them raged and kicked me out, because I called walking dead shit and the other guy started watching anime. |
  |
| Oh boi oh boi oh boiiii Honestly I lost count of the times people have looked down on me for watching cartoons but I'm still vocal about it hoping to find someone who understands me. |

I'd rather not make it a bigger deal than it actually is. I'm still frustrated though. I'm not you or can control you but if there is something you don't like you gotta deal with it, at least that is the way I was raised. To me situations like that just will keep happening if you do nothing. |
| Not personally, but there was a situation when I met people from my university for the first time: someone casually mentioned anime and everyone started talking how lame it is and how everyone who like it are losers, and they were bashing anime fans for like 20 minutes. We just met so ofc they didn't know I watch anime. |
 |
| Well, of course. Not that I care, because I don't often bring it up as a subject. |
  WORK IN PROGRESS ~The frog leapt forth to my lilypad memory.~ I was indoctrinated by an inamorata rabbit, Adenomata affronted. It was the verecund, dismissed creatures That I jubilated in most. This rabbit I would nurture, At the aiguille of esse, The anneal of noblesse. ❤️ Birdie ❤️ |
| Sometimes my friends tease me here and there, but nothing malicious or anything like that. |
My Queens  |
| I have, but it's because I'm not ashamed of the things I like. I'm a gay man as well, so I'm no stranger to being shit on for being honest about myself to others. I'm not a hardcore weeb or anything, I just think that it is a worthwhile art form. Usually people aren't such assholes to straight up insult you to your face, but there are definitely a lot of people who don't understand it and will talk shit about it. It was a lot worse before though, nowadays anime is somewhat mainstream so there has never been more people who "get" it. Don't let that shit get to you though, just be yourself and if others don't get it then that's their problem. Some people are just intolerant of people who are different than them, and they're the assholes, not you. |
This. This is exactly what I do so people don't roast me for watching anime |

Kuraokani said: No, but I have insulted someone for watching hentai. *queue story* It's happened long, long ago. In a place called "Middle School". One day, I was sitting in class, talking with a few peers. There was nothing particularly "out of the ordinary" about this day. Then, seemingly out-of-nowhere, I hear a commotion near the back of the classroom. I was interested, so I turned my attention to the group of people who was making said "commotion". After assessing the situation, I figured out that it was a few people who were pretty much picking on one of my classmates. Now, this wasn't unusual. This particular classmate wasn't the most "normal" of fellows. He had greasy hair (every day), was a tad-bit on the chubby side (he was fat), and he wore the same dirty hoodie every day (through hot and cold, rain and snow, or sunny and clear, he wore the same hoodie). That being said, I'm sure we can all see why this fellow would attract negative attention (especially in a public middle school) So I listen to the conversation (one sided) that the group at the back of the class was having. Eventually I hear (from the greasy boy), "Yeah, I like Hentai". Now, middle school me had no idea what "hentai" was, so out of curiosity I asked "what's hentai?". The reply I got was "basically cartoon porn". Cartoon porn!?! *middle school me thought*. That's disgusting! So I got involved in the questioning of this fellows "interest" and by extension, became one of the bullies. *fast forward to present date* Sure, now that I'm a little more mature and have some of the same interest that the boy from my middle school class had, I feel a little bad for bulling him. I still think that he brought it on himself though. I mean, come on, you tell a bunch of middle school kids (boys and girls) that you watch cartoon porn and their gonna flame you. That's obvious. I will say this though, if I ever have a chance, I'll definitely apologize to him. Would it have been different if he said he liked porn instead of hentai |

| I have indeed been insulted for watching anime by my former stepdad, who seemed convinced that all anime fans are pedophiles. As tempting as it may be to keep it to yourself, I'm in favor of being public about one's anime fandom. Most people I've met have been cool about it, and it's been the trigger for some of my closest friendships. Maybe not flash it to your employers, but if you're not on the job, you be you. It's worth risking being insulted if you meet some other anime fans irl. Plus, by refusing to be shamed for it, you help to make it less shameful. |

| my dude.. you need to move where i live judging by these threads answer: no.. the only people who insult me for anime are other anime watchers, unless you count the mfs who attack your youtube avatar |
   |
| Never outrightly insulted (not seriously anyways) but I have been given the eyes. You know. Those eyes. the kind that say "Seriously? I mean, whatever floats your boat but that is some weird shit I did not expect you to be into. You disappoint me, Yoruba scum." |
 |
| Never. But I didn't really start watching anime until my first year in college and basically once you leave school, no one really cares unless they like the same hobby/interest as you do whether its anime, football, wrestling, books, films etc etc. So they don't bother insulting or negatively reacting to you (at least to your face). So I've never been insulted by other people for watching anime since college students are more open-minded than school students. |

And somehow, vehicular accidents are extremely dangerous to Japanese ppl. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Not in a serious way. If that ever happens though, I'll make sure that it will be the biggest mistake of their life. |
A retard is trying to prove his point, thanks. |
| Never in real life (cuz I don't have one), but definitely on the internet. There's no issue when it's just a reply on a non-live comment section cuz you can just ignore them... The problem comes you're: 1. On a stream. 2.The comment section is not flooded (so people can actually hold long conversations). 3. There's no mod to oversee the things (or they doesn't care). 4. You're the only anime fan on the chat. 5. The host doesn't seem notice or care about what's going on in the chat. Please pray to not encounter a anime hater in this situation. He's going to bash and downplay you the whole stream. And even if you can just leave, maybe the stream's content is something you really don't want to miss. |

| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| Not that I can recall but I don't really talk about any of my hobbies unless it comes up in conversation. Pretty much everybody I've talked to randomly about anime likes it or is curious, not openly hostile. If that happened, depending on the situation, I'd either try to correct the ignorance or just tell them to "fuck off". |

| Great minds think alike. Although I do have friends that have told my other friends that they watch anime, they dont have any problem with it, but I have this thought in the back of my head that their way of thinking about me will change drastically, no one knows that I watch anime apart from my immediate family, people I chat to via discord and 1 friend who recently moved away. |

I honestly don't understand by this. Care to explain it a statement I could possibly understand. |
| I've never been insulted about watching anime in person, although I will tell anyone that will listen that I watch anime, but I have been insulted a few times on line. Some of the insults were rather out there. One insult I recall is that I was a child molester for watching Girls und Panzer. Oh, and I am a member of the NSDAP for liking Girls und Panzer! For some reason that anime attracted a lot of flak. Several times I have been told on line that all anime is degenerate, which therefore would make me a degenerate. I don't let such retardation bother me though. |
| Nope... At first most of them have PLEB taste than I do -_- |
 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| Never i guess? Insulting something you like pretty much same as judging other ppl, as long it doesnt annoy other ppl |
_Ako_ said: I honestly don't understand by this. Care to explain it a statement I could possibly understand. http://imgur.com/a/U0Ia8 I'm was too lazy to create a full collection, but you get the idea, right? |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| It happens. I would be called a weeb if they (my former classmates) saw me watching. I don't give a damn. Well, they're too much into Korean dramas, and i'm not insulting it now. It also not like i care about what other people say about me. I like anime so i watch it. Simple |
| Life isn't as fun and easy as anime. Watch anime to bring that fun!! |
| i am glad that i am not surrounded by asshole... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
I just don't tell anyone I watch it. That way I have no problems. The double life is kinda fun though so I'm good right here lol. |
Once you realize that what others think about what you enjoy doesn't matter, you will finally be free |
| Yeah I've had people imply to me that it's weird plenty of times. It happens every time I ask off of work for conventions. |

AyameTomoko said: This happened between me and a relative recently, but I'd rather not go into the details. Anyways, have you ever been insulted or treated negatively because someone either found out or you said that you watched anime? I mean there are some people who actually be dicks over shit like this even if you are a casual watcher. Yep. A co-worker started making derogatory comments every so often about me watching anime. One of those people that thinks they know everything, always has an answer for something even if it's wrong, you know the type. Once I started comparing it to him "never shutting up" about his favorite sports teams, he finally backed off. |
 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
| Up until around junior year of high school, I hid my interest in anime out of fear of this. But then some friends found out anyway and they didn't care in the slightest. Sure, I would get the occasional "You still watching that hentai stuff?" comments, but I took those to be in good fun. I remember the friends I was with on Xbox Live saw me playing Blazblue and found the title to be absolutely hilarious and constantly asked me if I was playing it. |
 |
| kinda, someone found out and went "EWWWWWWW", i don't understand whats that disgusting about it but whatever xD |

Jason_Funderberk said: InkSpider said: They weren't trolling, they were being edgy in a self aware way, in contrast to you being edgy in an unintentional way. They have an account and watch anime regularly as seen on that account. The joke wasn't to start a flame war, it was to be the exact opposite of what was expected in a jarring way, thus the humor. And don't just try and turn it around by saying it was a bad joke and that he/she needs to try harder, as that is what salty people say to cover up their mistake of assuming....Try harder, troll. You don't just pop on an anime site, throw an unfounded and moronic summation of the entire community's self-worth and expect the forum to burst into flames. Your attack is as lazy as it is boring. It was a bad joke, and they need to try harder. Self-deprecating humor is overused in the anime community. I DO WHAT I WANT, BEEOTCH! |
