| Tatsubei has killed a million men and double that of women for not liking One Piece. True story. But as for the original topic, it doesn't bother me too much when their manga interests don't match mine. Honestly, among otaku, the only thing that REALLY bothers me are fangirls who don't give two damn about the quality of the anime and manga they watch or read, but instead obsess needlessly and endlessly about whatever long-haired prettyboy would look the hottest making out with some other long-haired pretty boy...Yoko Kurama or Sesshoumaru anyone? Ugh. Sexism aside, fanboys are just as bad, but in recent years it's the female side that tends to be more vocal, as evidenced by the amount of piss-poor slash fanfiction and "KYAA KYAA KAWAII DESU" out there. Ahhh, but I'm just being bitter. |

matching_pants said: Tatsubei has killed a million men and double that of women for not liking One Piece. True story. Well, see... Most of the people I know that dislike the series either doesn't like the artwork and hasn't really watched enough to have a actually opinion on it, or thinks that another one of the popular Shonen Jump manga completely pwns it because just because they like it, without much reason. But hey, "To each, their own..." XD |
linnah-chan said: As for the thread question, I think its the other way around.:p Agreed..my mother and my friends just doesn't try to understand what it is I like about it. They just see cartoon = kids show... |

| I loved Dragonball Back in the day,still do a little,so no |
 |
| well.. here's how I go. I don't care what others watch XP whatever floats their boat lol But I also watch whatever I want, and if somebody doesn't like that... well too bad XDD But I would never look down on somebody cuz they watched a certain show... If I happen to not like it... well, oh well. If they're really obsessed, why should I ruin their happiness by making them feel like a n00b? |
 |
| No, i dont look down on others. I read/watch what I want. Everyone else reads what THEY want. Just because someone read/watches something that you dont/might not like, what reason do WE have to judge them? XD Fortunately i live in my own little world, people do what they like, as do i. =) |
the_seventh_l said: matching_pants said: I happen to love some of the pretty long-haired types - mainly Kurama of Yu Yu Hakusho and Ayame Sohma of Fruits Basket. Why? 'Cos behind their pretty exteriors are interesting men who lead interesting lives and have hidden depths. Take Kurama for example. Pretty boy, right? Also a master whip-handler and tactician. He's not considered one of the top demons in the Demon World for nothing. Whenever fangirls talk about Kurama, and only go on about how handsome he is, I gotta wonder if they ever read/watched the freaking show he's from. IMHO, Kuwabara and Yusuke are waa~y hotter XD Then you are one of the female anime watchers that give me hope. lol But don't get him wrong, just cuz he said that doesn't mean he doesn't like Kurama. We both think he's seriously a badass. :3 |
| Do I call some people n00bs? Occasionally. Not with any real frequency and its certainly not meant with the intention of looking down on someone. When it comes to anime after all my tastes seem to skew towards shonen/action type series, and I avoid needlessly angsty works that some people would call "intelligent". For that reason, people might look down on ME (I don't advise it though; I'm still prolly smarter than you ;) ), so it'd be hypocritical of me to look down on others. Watch what you want to watch, and I hope people will allow me that same privilege. BTW - That sig is awesome. Doctor Who rocks. :) |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |
| No,why should i do that? I dont like anime-snobs myself as well. Anyone can read what thinks that is good for him. I do the same,and i like some anime-manga that arent THAT popular. But when comes to ratings,i see the work overall,and i dont put 10 to a title only because its in my favorites,if it isnt a 10 :P I loved Dragonball back at the day as well! |
 |
| No, I consider someone a "n00b" when they can't act like they're mature for their age, regardless of what they read. There are perfectly intelligent Naruto readers, as well as total idiots that enjoy some of my favorites. |

Heh,dont you look down on others if you categorize Naruto as not good title or whatever,and your 'favorites' intelligent worth reading titles? No, but I do look down on Naruto as a mediocre series. However, we all have guilty pleasures. I'd never say everything I read is intelligent; for cripe sake I enjoy Tokyo Mew Mew, which I know is really childish and requires no intelligence! My point is that no one can be defined by what series they read. I have a friend that reads books that I consider to be an insult to literature, but I know she's incredibly smart. I can think a manga series is bad without thinking the people who enjoy it are dumb, ne? |

| ^Hai! We have different taste in series so i wont take it further about this :P And anyway,who cares,as far as you enjoy something,intelligent or not.Anime/manga is for give us moments of good time,not debates:) P.S.Naruto is a mediocre yep,but as manga at least is better than the anime.I dont know,I find a lot more easy to like manga than anime myself. |

Including the stuff about Naruto. It's not terrible, but it's not great. The manga > the anime. ^^. Debates can be fun, so long as no one bashes each other~ Like this one =3 |

It is 100% ok to love those characters (I'm a big Kurama fan myself), but what gets me are the girls who love them only because they're hot. (You and my girlfriend would get along great...she adores Ayame.) Any otaku knows you don't have to look very hard to find some embarrassingly bad yaoi fanfiction out there...I'm happy you see where I'm coming from on this. Furthermore, Kuwabara hot? You gain massive respect points for saying that. My favorite pretty boy characters would have to be Yuki Souma and Kurapica (from Hunter x Hunter) personally. For what it's worth. |
|
| ^Hey,Ayame is hot,but has also a great story behind him :p - i dont know if you have read all the Furuba. But to be honest,i have a friend that is like that...likes Sensual Phraze because the male characters are hot.<.< (me hates it though) I said to her that it isnt right reason to read a manga,and she aint that young either. For the younger fangirls of fanboys,let them be. They will appriciate different things in a manga after they have read more,or they 're older. |

I agree that girls who only like the pretty boys for being hot are REALLY annoying. I too am a Kurama fan, and the ones that only like him because he's hot suck. And Kuwabara IS hot, especially personality-wise. He just needs a better haircut =3. That said, I do spend a lot of time obsessing over a couple long haired men making out ^^;; *points to avvy* |

That said, I do spend a lot of time obsessing over a couple long haired men making out ^^;; *points to avvy* Haha...yaoi in itself isn't bad, I think. Hell, I loved Gravitation, it made my emotions go crazy as much as any good romance story would. I just hate how the genre is plagued with "beautiful man and other beautiful man kiss beautifully and cry beautifully about beautiful things." It feels as though it was written not with the intent to tell a good story, but rather to make any female readers get hot in the panties. Fanservice is fine, but at least make an attempt to have a decent tale to tell underneath it, you know? |
|
| I agree that the BL/yaoi that don't have good stories get old, bu I still enjoy them on occasion. I look for ones with more substance, though. |
| Ich verstehe nicht |
| Hmm. Well, no. I don't particularly care what other people are reading - if they like it, they like it. If I also happen to like it, I'll be more apt to talk to them about it, of course, since we have a common interest. Otherwise, I'd probably just ignore it. |
 |
| I don't really pay attention to stuff like that. I tend to watch subbed versions by fans, and I'm usually ahead of what comes out in the US. |
     |
| Nope whatever you like is what you like, just because I don't like a certain series doesn't mean I'm going to look down on another for reading it. Everyone has their own preferences, and that's just how it is. |
| What you saw at the castle on that windy night ,and what you saw at the bridge last night .. how I smiled, never utter a word to anyone. If you dare speak .. I will find where you are .. And I will kill you. Kill you. I will rip you apart .. crush your bones And eat your flesh.. I will drink your blood. I will .. devour you. |
| i have never been called anything for doing what I like to do, I watch bunches of animes, I could care less about online insults, its always nice to chat online though, but when people start ranting other people on threads and forums about what anime someone watches, i dont waste my time reading it. (the only time ive come close to an argument online was when someone disagreed on me when I said DBZ was pretty good) He responded by saying DBZ SUCKORSZZ!!!. ironicly the words dbz where in the profile name.... So I checked his anime list and he had seen all of the movies, series, and gave them all 9's - 10's for ratings... |
| oh yeah another time was in a fav gundam series, but that was more like a childish debate. |
| I'll admit to being slightly judgemental of people, however I try very hard not to be mean or tease them. (outwardly at least^^) The main thing that gets to me are fans who think that they are cool just because they like something that everyone else likes. Just because it's popular, they think that liking it will make them popular. This creates a massive, and rather mindless, fanbase for said "cool thing". When this happens, I subconsiously tend to reject whatever it is, even if I previously liked it. ie; Naruto, PotC, Orlando Bloom, Harry Potter, The musical Cats... I just end up thinking, "Well it was good, but it wasn't THAT good." Luckilly, there are still some things that crazy fangirls(boys) will never be able to ruin for me. |
| Nah, i never judge people by what they read. |
  |
| I wouldn't call them n00bs, I call them crazy. Doesn't mean i'm biased against them either. To each their own right? |
   |
| wussup |
 |
| not really |
| |
| I dont mind what people read. everyones got a different taste and is entitled to express themselves by choose whatever they want to read. however, with that said, what annoys me kinda is when you get, lets say.... 10-14 year olds who has only seen naruto from cartoon network and thinks its the greatest anime out there =___= - running around dressed as ninjas and jumping off cars and stuff. its not a big deal since they are young and probably dont know much about animes etc and just want to have fun... but i do try to refrain myself from rolling my eyes sometimes ^___^" |
 |
| To me it doesn't matter what someone reads/watches. As long as you keep up with it then you can't be considered a "noob" |
| just eva~! |
| Not really. It's not my problem of what other people like. o.o |
 |
| No, I don't care about them. |
 |
| Well if people looked down on others because they didn't keep up to date with animes or mangas, I'd be called a noob right now >.< Though I don't really see much of a reason for that, I go at my own pace and watch ton of animes all at the same time and don't usually pick one to watch till I'm up-to-date or finished with it. I don't look down at people if they aren't up-to-date or anything. I'll respect their likes and dislikes. |
     |
| COURSE NOT! well honestly....sometimes....unconsciously XP but hey i for one love dragonball, digimon and the old pokemon (when there still used to be 150? pokemon lol i dun remember XP) so yea everyone has different taste and its not nice to judge other people based on that >.< |
 |
| It's not really much about what one watches, but more of how they behave regarding the series. It's like the whole Death Note being so mainstream to the point you feel that they watch for the sake of being updated and "cool", and then going about screaming "homg Death Note is teh best" when in the first place, they don't give a damn when they spotted the manga in their bookstores, thinking it's some sucky series. Superficial much? In that case it's definitely understandable how people who really appreciated the series would "look down" on them :/ |
| The only people I look down too are people who are scared of what people think of there hobby. People who are to afraid to read manga in public. >:-( |
   |
| I looked down at peach girl b/c it looked preppy and retarted, but that is just y opinion ^^ |
