Not yet, cause no one knows it yet except for my close friends. I'll just straight up ignore those who mock me because of watching anime. It isn't just worth wasting time to confront them, if there will be any.

yes but only other anime fans have ever given enough of a shit, nobody who wasn't into it irl has ever cared if it came up, probably because i'm not the type of person to try to convert them into watching it and awkwardly insert it into conversations like you see people bring up on this board all the fucking time

Nah, only my friends know that I watch anime and currently, most of them have also started watching anime. So there's that.

Nope. If anything I've mocked myself for watching it as a self-deprecating Rick Sanchez maneuver.

Not really, only in a friendly mocking way. The only one who is fully exposed to it at home is my mom and eventhough she was joking about it at first, she ended up supporting me at it just as with any other hobby.

No, but this might be because I didn't get into anime until after my teenage years.

Nope, no one can judge me, why should I listen to what people who are inferior than me say? Besides, even if I disregard that fact, why should anyone judge or ever care about what others say about what you watch? Unless it's my parents or one of my relatives, no one can get away with that shit. If they mock you, you mock them back, that's the rule, that's how it should be.

I've never been mocked irl, only on the internet, I have been mocked by my parents and some elders and my uncles but yeah what can I do about them, nothing. My friends watch anime but most kids my age don't, I don't think they even know what anime means but they still watched DBZ and Pokemon, but yeah I can't blame them for not knowing.

^^^ what a glorious reference.

And to answer the thread, no, never been mocked, people don't care about my taste in entertainment. I was only mocked when my fav football team Rapid Bucharest lost a match, when Rapid lost in uefa querter finals I went to school and then I left after one class because I was that sad, and people around me kept laughing at me, I think I even kicked someone's butt that day.

Hell no because I've just started watching anime during quarantine and I didn't knew a alot of my friends also watch anime because I had to got to school during quarantine to get the mark sheets of my boards then there were few of my friends I just asked them do you watch my hero academia and they said yes ad my friend also watches a lot of animes other than my hero like kaguya sama.I thought that only I watch anime in my class but turns out there are a lot of people who watches anime they just don't want to talk about it because they think that they will mock them for watching anime.

Hm,I guess.The closest I got is when my classmate who is a K-Pop fan pointed to me and say "When you don't listen to K-Pop and watch anime" while I was doing nothing.

This was while they were playing a compilation of K-Pop in our classroom.

Same. Only good-natured teasing. I am too intimidating in real life to be mocked.

There was a time in high school when people made fun of me because of it. I never really put much heed to it though since I never much cared what people thought about me or about what I was doing. Because of that later on it turned into more of a teasing than actual mocking. Since then not as far as I'm aware.

I would say it's more that people don't really know what anime is.
So they just think it''s childiness.

People don't really know what anime is, they just see it as a childish cartoon.

And even if someone would mock me behind my back or up to my face, I could care less.

Not really. Most of my friends watched a couple of anime themselves and they see it as another hobby. It's the same thing with my family although they watched just two anime movies with me - Akira and Kimi no Na Wa.

I've gotten more backlash from anime fans about either watching and liking western TV shows or just the types of anime I like than I ever have from non-anime fans about anime. Like, it's not even close, probably by a factor of 10 or 20.
I probably regret this post by now.

I've never been mocked for watching anime in general, like 20% of the population watches it, but I have been mocked for watching certain kinds of series, such as moeshit or magical girl anime.

Even though I've never been openly mocked for liking anime before, who knows what others are really thinking in their heads? haha. But in general, quite a lot of people around me have watched at least one anime series in their lives (it's commonly shown on TV back in the days), so even if they aren't as avid as I am about anime, they don't hate it or anything like that to want to put others down for liking it.

But it never bothered me, apart from them, no one.

You won't get that treatment, or at least you wouldn't have in my time, in France. Basically everyone consumed japanese animation as long as he was watching TV as a kid in the 70s, 80s up to mid-90s. Add to that the young adults who discovered Harlock in the 70s then Cobra in the very early 90s and families who watched Ulysses 31 in 1981 (if I remember well what my parents told me, it was cut in little bits for an early evening broadcast every day or weekend).
Of course, there was always one oddball who was trying to show off with big action/crime movies he was allowed to see and how too old he was for kiddie cartoons. But this was just cute child pretense in pre / primary school. And other comrades were mocking/ignoring it.

I got that from my mother from time to time. Meanwhile, I was still putting my digital fansubs on tapes or VCD (so they could be seen on TV) in the 2000s for none other than my father (I had spent my childhood taping DB/Z for him after all). So... whatever?

Only in a joking manner by my friends who are also weebs. We usually call each other weebs and make fun of each other for watching and liking anime, especially when we watch anime together.
Other than this, I don't really recall anyone mocking me for liking anime. Some of them don't understand my love for it, but they were never critical of me because of it.

Yes, but I will let the person know that being an Anime fan is the same as any other K-Pop fandom or Car Spotting hobby.

Once done, I will walk away from the conversation instead of staying around and waiting for a debate competition to begin.
