First of all, I respect different opinions and I've always tried to observe things from a different point of view, I've met lots of people with different idealogies and I always say that the world is beautiful because it's full of different people, cultures, opinions, traditions exc. But there's one thing I can't stand, when people criticise or insult something with dumb reasons, in this case Anime. Many people judge anime based on impressions and the media, for example a critic towards anime I can't stand is when people say "Anime is for little kids", just because the casually saw a chibi character on the internet, I think most haters tend to generalise to much and are to scared to dive into the deep world of Animes.This is my opinion but I'm interested in what YOU think so...what do you think about Anime haters?

I usually don't care about them, but the ones that hate things only because something is popular are the ones that I, personally, find to be the the most annoying

It's very difficult to blame them when you see how embarrassing 99% of anime fans are. Most people I know who dislike anime do so because of the embarrassing 'weeaboo'/'otaku'-type fans so lol.

i honestly think nothing of them... cause i don't even think about them...

much of the time the only reason i even remember they exist is because they keep being brought up on MAL >___>

too many people on here care what non anime fans think about anime and people who watch it

"but..... my friend might think this bad thing about me if they find out im into anime"

and im like:

LOOOOOLLL your..... "friend"?



whats even worse is when they "try to get their anime hater friend into anime"....... thats how we get all these people who bring all their non anime fan biases into the "community" and find everything to whine about

we all know you're just doing that cause you don't want them to judge you so you just try to turn them into the same thing as you, well hm...... how about picking better friends? cause a true friend is not going to give a fuck if you fap to 2d cha..... i mean..... like anime.....

I don't care unless they are trying to act cool about it. Saying stuff like "HURRR ANIME IS CANCER AND ANYONE WHO LIKES IT IS A NECKBEARD WEEABOO" is getting pretty cringeworthy, like neckbeard weeaboos.

Everyone here as usual comes with a 'I don't care attitude'. As for me I wouldn't say it effects me greatly, everyone enjoys different things obviously but when people go out of their way to constantly bash something you enjoy it does start to get a little irritating.

I haven't personally met one, so I don't have much of an opinion on them. If they spend their time on forums hating on anime fans then they really need to get a life. If they simply don't know much about anime and pass it off as "something I can't possibly see myself enjoying" then I don't really care.

Exactly. Just like how you don't see people blowing up Muslims in the name of Atheism there is much more hate within the anime community than hate coming from outside of it. As the number of people within the main group gets larger the subgroups within it will get more defined and they will observe more hostility towards each other. People from outside of the main group will be neutral towards the group if they fail to acknowledge its existence. Since negative information travels faster than positive information people outside of the group with relative closeness to it may start to experience hostile thoughts towards it.

if they gave it a shot and it wasn't for them then they have my respect and we can move on with our lives

I'm fine with it.

Anime isn't my appearence, my DNA, or my culture so I don't think it's a big deal when I'm around people who hate anime.
All my friends irl hate anime and my bf hates anime except for like 4 shows and 4 movies, so it never bothered me except when i was sometimes bullied for it in middle school and high school (it wasnt the worst thing i was bullied for, so even that didnt bother me unless they actually did shit directly to me).

I don't think about anime haters. Why waste time thinking about people who dislike a hobby I enjoy - regardless of the reasons - when I could spend that time pursuing the hobby itself? Tis a far better usage of the time.

If people want to hate on something for stupid reasons, they're free to do so. It's no skin off my back. They can wallow in their pit of ignorance.

Let people enjoy and dislike whatever they hate. I feel with anime though, it's diverse enough so that everyone has something to enjoy, Ghibli films being a big example.
My mom, who hates everything foreign she doesn't understand, was able to follow along an episode of K-On! once, she doesn't know any Japanese or een English, so reading the subs was out of the question. Yet she enjoyed the silly visual gags and was able to follow along with the episode just fine. (It was the one where they had to help Yui study for her exams.) Don't go and show casuals shit like To Love Ru or Kiss X Sis, if that's the only anime I saw, yeah, I would be disgusted by it too.

I can understand not liking it, but there aren't many legit reasons to hate it. Most are stupid generalizations and aren't legit reasons as you say.

One legit reason is hating how openly sexual most shows are. While i may think it's petty reason and such people are prudes it's still not a generalization and just a difference in perspective. There are obviously outdoor ppl who don't like media in general too.

I don't particularly care as long as they aren't affecting the genre negatively.

Assuming they actually have a legitimate reason for disliking it then sure , I can respect that.

But when its hating purely to feed the circlejerk/herd mentality or when their reasons for disliking anime are purely ad hominem attacks then I can't help but laugh at them.

Theres no reason to hate it tbh not liking it i guess. But its just another form of storytelling most anti anime hate is produced by not knowing or not experiencing im sure alot of my friends would enjoy it if they gave it a chance but theres some kind of perceived notion that anime is weird and wrong but it doesn't matter in the end your tastes are your own and you should own it

They're all trash/assholes.

Because

I gurantee they say they hate anime and manga, even though they have never had any kind of experience with either.

My mother and sisters are massive bitches who cringe at all of it, even though they have never seen a single episode of anime, and aren't even clear on what it is.

They just assume its ALL like this

(NSFW but not really)

Hater gonna hate right? I mean nobody said that everyone should love anime. For others they see it as escaping from reality, for others they just see it as an entertainment, for others without it it feels something is missing in their life. We shouldn't ignore or argue with this "haters". We should listen to their opinion and understand how they see anime. As a hindrance, foolishness or for kids.

I think they are ignorant for hating on something that they have little to no understanding of. But to them, the Otaku lifestyle to them is like how golf would be to some of us. Now, I'm not saying there aren't people on here who like golf lol. I'm just saying that many of us are on completely different wave lengths or spectrum when it comes to what makes us happy and/or relaxed.

However, if they can give a few good reasons why they disliked a certain series, then I am fine with that. I also like to criticize anime, and do so with even some of my favorites. It's only a little on the annoying side when they are completely ignorant about it, and have no bases or good arguments for why they have particular distaste in certain anime or anime as an entirety.

They are completely right. And perfectly justified. Anime as a whole is trash, filled with fetishes, moe fanservice, sexually ambiguously muscular mans, OP main characters with no other redeemable quality, pretentious shows, technophobia inducing dystopias, giant robots, slice of nothing ever happens and the power of friendship.


...Pfffft as if. They're just missing out, no real harm with their hate except potential customers for the industry. Is just them having the wrong idea of what anime has done and can do.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.

But does the heart have the right perspective?

Anyone who writes off anime with 'it's just boobs' or 'for little kids' isn't worth speaking to, sorry.

Some people aren't into anime and that's okay. In general, though, those who make stupid arguments about anime never even tried to watch it. They're often from outside the Nerdom and also think LARP's, video games and books are stupid.

They'll be haters for pretty much everything that has a interest. I'm usually indifferent about it, after all they'll be stuff that I don't like that they'll like and vice versa.

But if an anime hater's reason for hating anime is poor and bad such as "it's for kids", then it's not worth my time listening to anything else they say.

It's not like it's exclusive to anime eh.

"How do you watch movies in black and white?"
"Pre-90s? Dude please it's 2old4me"

If I cared for these opinions I would probably not enjoy things as much as I do. I find absurd how obsessed the anime community seems to be about contrarians. Come on! If their arguments are stupid, they can be conveniently ignored. You don't need to waste time trying to convince somebody who doesn't even have a point.
