| Because we spent hours in the internet arguing how great or bad an anime really is. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

No thanks. Arguing about Chinese cartoons, that totally lifeless. |

| Posts like these are dead giveaways. You can't blame people for thinking that. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=92940&show=0 2D is definately superior, something halfrandomly generated can never match something that is created to appeal. Though this also is a matter of what you want them for. For conversations 3D is definately better since you can't really discuss with a 2D but for eyecandy and entertainment 2D is far above, I've never had intrest in relationships, discussions have never been my bag of beans either. I'm of course considering this is about people, when it comes to places 3D is above but 2D characters are generally far superior, there are tons of goods characters where there are only a few intresting people. I guess I've also just gotten too tired of having to watch my doings and sayings around people since there always seem to be some prissy asshole who takes offense in all the slightest things. Which is why I just rather watch the interactions of fictional characters. In short, 2D for life! Those who disagree with me can go whack themselves in the head with a hammer. I'd do it myself but I can't be buggered to get up my fat arse for the effort needed to do this. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1553528&show=150 TheUnknownPC said: Hard for me to compare considering I've never even fucking touched a 3D girl.    |

| Here's a tip. It doesn't matter what people think. Be yourself and enjoy what you enjoy, don't try to fight back even if someone is insulting something that you like. Also, you would be surprised. People get made fun of for anything that they do except sports because apparently if you don't play 20 sports your gay and have no life. Whoa okay i went on a bit of a rant |

| Because of the weirdo shit kids walking around in costumes at school and in public flaunting their wonderful language skills (Kawaii desu, konnichiwa, etc). With such representatives it makes the rest of us "normal" fans take a step back. |

| Because people either only know dbz, naruto, op. Or hentai. And anything that isn't a long running shounen is hentai. |
| maybe because non-anime fans only have seen one or two ecchi scenes and they assumed that every anime is like that.So based on their logic,if all animes are ecchi and you like anime that instantly means you like ecchi and ,in their eyes,you're a perv~ too bad they don't know that anime isn't just that... |

Tarotist said: People don't like what they don't understand. Could not agree more with you. There are so many stereotypes placed on people who enjoy anime and/or manga. Though, I have seen a recent shift towards a better understanding of it from outsiders since as a few posters have already mentioned, the anime community is growing. |
| Where I live people think that anime is only for kids like Sailor Moon or Dragon Ball and if you try to explain that it can be something serious they wouldn't understand. Overall they think cartoons = kids |
Tarotist said: Best answer to this question. People don't like what they don't understand. There aren't many anime fans here.. most of them think watching anime is for kids (LOL). |
| Independent thought is difficult hence sterotypes |
| I am one so I see no lies there man. And all those cases when I have witnessed some weeb trying to talk to your average joe about anime have always been painful and embarrassing. Cultural thing. If we talk about western world older generations will mostly think it's weird for an adult liking cartoons. Younger generations probably have seen something regarding anime (we had a goddamn page about manga in two of our school books in junior high) so they have some image in their head already what it is and base their opinion of other person's hobby with that. Now as for Japan they already thought manga/anime will ruin their kids and liked to blame it for problems in their society. If my memory works I think there was cases of burning manga volumes in the 50's. And then there's otaku culture. |

| Last time I check most people think about anime like Digimon, DBZ, Sailor Moon, Naruto and stuff that comes out on Toonami on Adult Swim. |
| There are a certain amount of anime fans who openly advertise themselves as perverts while most of the others hide their hobby under a rug. That could have something to do with it. As for the no life, that's just how people treat everyone with a passionate hobby. Because 'having a life' to them means 'dedicating everything to working and fucking and nothing else matters'. If you spend a lot of time on activities unrelated to either of them you must obviously be lacking something. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| They know nothing. Why they hating if they know nothing about anime fans. |
| Also it's a fact that anime fans get 'blamed' for hentai when in reality a big chunk of hentai consumers are not actually anime fans. There's this example from the 90s when anime fandom in britain was estimated to be a few hundred people but Urotsukidouji sold something like 60,000 copies. Hentai became popular and entered the mainstream conscience not because of anime fans, but because of normal people who were into porn, animated or not. It's not that different today. There's tons of hentai stuff on every normal porn streaming site and I'd guess it's mostly normies who watch those because anime fans don't go to youporn to watch hentai. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Normies easily dismiss and stereotype any subculture. The more the members deviate in looks, behavior and habits, the more ostracized they get. Take metalheads for example - if someone who is a mindless wage slave, without any hobby or interest in their life, sees someone who is basically an antithesis of properness in their eyes, they will probably label them as filth on a conscious level, regardless of the education and social standing that metalhead may actually have. It's the same as anime, if you are open, or even forceful about your interest, there will be those people that consider you to be a deviant, because it's not the type of interest that is regarded as part of the predominant culture. It's shallow, but being judged superficially and/or based on appearance isn't anything new and tied exclusively to any particular subculture. |

I wouldn't say metalheads are the antithesis, but metalheads are passionate about something. Many people I know aren't. No, really, they spend a lot of time just scrolling the internet. Being a metalhead means being passionate about something other than the evening news. |

It's as you say, the average person sees passion towards something "unneeded" as perverse. They can engage in various interests, be it gaming, reading, watching movies etc. on a superficial level, merely to pass the time. Any more interest than that, and it becomes weird, as it's not something they would waste THEIR time on. |

Go to a convention, and people really really care about anime or role-playing games or Sci-Fi. Go to a university and the lecturer is really, really into studying the liver. Most people aren't that passionate and it looks weird to them. But I'd take studying the liver over anything on the news. |

I saw several of them imo. I think the biggest problem is people seeing the perverted fatass with a waifu body pillow or something and that's the image that get stuck in people's head, forgetting all the other cosplayers and gamers and stuff who seems to be having a lot of fun. |
