It probably has been discussed many times. However recently with the trend of more anime getting a live adaptation is a positive for Japan and anime industry.

However, there will be people watching the live adaption without realizing it is based on a anime and the fact some think anime is *cartoon* which is unacceptable.

Here is a prime example below: Name had to be edited out but a message has been set with anger.

Does it really matter? I can't speak for everyone but, I for one do not watch Anime for anyone else but myself. People will always find fault in something you say or do. Its an enjoyable hobby, nothing more, nothing less.

Although I'd love to know why specifically 15 is the cut-off point.

That they're wrong 80% of the time and correct 20% of it. Unless they're talking about my DVD/BD collection and then they're basically wrong 95% of the time since I don't have many kid-friendly things.

all i can say is that it's almost never good to generalize things. Obviously there are animes that are primarily for children and such are quite primitive but that's absolutely fine. As there are tonnes of very mature animes (or cartoons if we're talking about the tweet). Many explore very critical issues withing the society, or have very deep characters that explore the struggles of life. The majority of slice of life animes are surely not for little kids as they tackle issues and problems in life which folks under 15 probably never even encountered.

But at this point i honestly don't care. They can say whatever they want i will still watch my fav animes and that's all. If anything, it's their problem that they are ignoring something that they could enjoy

I think that they're missing out on a lot of great things. Not only because they think anime is for children, but also because they think that just because something is mostly for children it means they can't enjoy it.

Don't care about it tbh. If someone thinks of you less because you're watching some cartoons either that person is a retard or you didn't have much going for you to begin with.

And that boxer is a shitposter who doesn't think twice before spreading his uneducated garbage.

I think anime is just something strange to them, and I guess it kind of intimidates them.
My friend trash talk me all the time about watching anime, yet, when the 3rd Despicable Me was released in cinemas he wanted me to go watch it with him, who's a kid now smh

They seem immature and probably have adultness pretentions. I think it's less common among people who are past adolescence.
Cartoons are for kids?
Sure, they are, sometimes, but we might as well say:
watching non-documentaries of any sort is for kids (and if it's about something like art, it's for kids)
reading fiction is for kids
painting and drawing is also for kids
playing games of any sort is for kids
most importanty: having fun is for kids

Btw, I don't understand why adult people engage in playfights, like boxing, but then, I'm not really against doing childish stuff.

More like "filthy casual" if you wanna go that route; like a Jessica Nigri who doesn't cosplay.

Perfect for me as I'm a casual. Probably not for you. Different strokes for different folks.

What? What does being a casual have to do with what you consider nerds or not? What you speak about is closer to role pay than an actual lifestyle

Wait. What are your definitions for a nerd, a "nerd", a casual, and a weeb, 'cause I think you're pickin' up more than what I'm puttin' down.

Well, then they should have their opinion. It's annoying for them, if you want to change it, it certainly won't give anime fans a good rep ... and I don't care about their opinion either. ^^"

Nerd - a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious, an unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept person; especially :one slavishly devoted to intellectual or academic pursuits

Casual - a person who does something irregularly.

Weeb - A weeb (/wi b/) is a non-Japanese male who watches and is a fan of CGDCT anime, has a waifu, a waifu pillow and is obsessed with Japan. A weeb is always talking about how cute or "kawaii" his favourite characters are and claiming one of them to be his "waifu". He occasionally uses romanized Japanese words instead of English equivalents, such as "kawaii" instead of "cute" and "baka" instead of "dumb" or "jerk" (it has both meanings). Some of them also use Japanese honorifics, for example when they attach the "-chan" honorific to the names of people or characters they like or find cute, or when they use the "-sama" honorific to show they respect someone. Weebs call non-weebs normies. Weebs are harmless. They know they're disliked by many people but they don't give a fuck because they know they're sugoi (awesome).

Well they're half-right though since some anime are indeed created for kids like Beyblade, and no matter what you watch, all anime look the same from the perspective of non anime fans so can't really blame them.

Well, like Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh/Digimon/etc, sure....

I would look at the rest of anime as geared towards teens and up though...

Saying you're a loser for watching cartoons/anime whilist being over 15 (or any age really) is silly though imo. Watch what the heck you want, age is irrelevant.

Ignorant and immature. Sure, there are anime specifically made for kids but there are also cartoons made for adults. I sure as hell ain't letting any young children watch South Park.
