| I've been the guy that made fun of one of my friends mercilessly about him liking anime, i was mostly influenced by that one filthyfrank vid, the weeb one. now today he's the only one that knows i seriously watch anime, although my socially comptent friends have started watching few, its really hard pretending to not know what the hell they are talking about |
| smile B) |
| my big sister (24) says to stop watchin cartoons(anime)to me every time and i laugh it off everytime |
 OBAMOS |
| hmmm yeah at school i think when i was around 14 (20now). it didn't bother me much. Back then anime fans were still rare so i stood out, nowadays everyone is watching it lmao. Anyway if you made this post because of personal reasons then i'll just go ahead and tell you to keep doing what you enjoy, in a healthy way ofc^^. |
| Maybe this is rare to find, but when I tell my friends that I like watching anime, they even want to watch it together with me. |
 |
| Yes and no, I think I am pretty good at arguing with friends and people that try to harass me for the things I like and dislike. Back in 2014, I showed one of my best friends "AoT" and he said you watch this shit? aren't you a little old for this or did your body develop and not your mind? I was shocked and said just yeah I like this stuff and it's cool. He just laughed and made fun of me. I told him he watched teen wolf and the flash and it is basically the same thing. (fictional characters). He didn't say anything after it. But if someone tries to make fun of the things you like just be honest and say you like it because it makes you happy, emotional and etc. I started university last year and a decent amount of people that made fun of anime in front of other people actually watched anime and didn't admit it because they were afraid of getting bullied or having no friends... haha, It is funny that they wanted to adapt to someone else's liking instead of finding people that don't need you to adapt to accept you. |
  I'm level  on mal-badges. |
| I don't tell people that I watch and like anime |
 |
| I haven't, because I also watch anime |
 |
| The closest I've ever been to being made fun of for liking anime was one kid who was like 3 years younger than me saying that I'm an "anime boy". I usually don't tell people I watch anime, so that's the closest thing I've got so far. |
 |
| Yeah but it's the internet so who cares |
 |
| Probably, yeah. Do I care if someone makes fun of me for what I'm into? No. |
 |
| The answer is no.I never talk about my hobbies to someone else besides my family. |
 |
| I have never been laughed at for watching anime, because nobody knows I watch anime. I also want to see anime in maximum comfort at home, not on the bus or train with headphones. Even if they catch me reading a webtoon during breaks & ask me what I'm reading, I just say it's a comic. "A Marvel one?", they ask, "YES", I answer. (/or "NO, it's DC") |
| Veteran Helldiver of SES Hammer of Dawn When will Black Clover release new anime? It has been 3 years already since March 2021 |
| No. people rejoice when they know i like the same thing as them. it's bonding. |
 |
| Yes, some of my friends do make fun of me cause im watching anime but i either don't care or try to explain to them why anime is amazing which doesn't really seem to work |
 |
| Nope. And that's due to a few reasons. 1. after a certain age, I wasn't that social of a person 2. the friends I did make also had at least some level of interest in anime themselves 3. I don't constantly walk around wearing anime merch 4. And the most important...I already openly mock my own interests , so there's nothing anyone can say I haven't said about myself. |
| The only time I was talking about anime was with other people who watched anime, so I can't say I've been made fun of no. |
| No. I went to high school with all kinds of people, and it was actually cool to watch anime and different as a hobby. So no one got bullied for that. Even in college, I'm so open about watching whatever I like to watch because 1) I can and 2) I don't care about what people think, but I don't remember anyone saying anything whenever it got mentioned. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| Have I been made fun of for liking anime? Yeah. Did I fight back? No. I don't really care. |
 |
| Uhhhmmm...not really I don't think? I got somebody friend me on PS4 and message me if I was a weeb (which I kinda am😅) but I just ignored him, plus I think he may have gotten banned. But other than that no not all. I'm honestly more embarrassed being a trainspotter than an anime fan, although am brave enough to openly admit in on my page🤣 |
 |
| ye. in middle school, I deserved it. I wrote "weeaboo and proud" on my hand and shit |
No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!" |
| There were probably 3 people I knew who didnt like anime. They all would say weeb shit but one was more chill about saying it. The 2nd dude got into Dragonball but he still found anime to be weeb shit. And the third person straight up disliked anime. But, i never really cared too much for them. The chill one was fun to chat with in a group over the other 2. |

| I wouldn't say it was to the level of "being made fun of", but there were a bit of teasing every now and then. There's my boomer relatives whom I meet once every few years, who tend to imply something along the line of "you need to grow up and stop watching cartoon", to whom I never give any significance to. |
 |
| Nah anime is pretty big where I live, and does anyone that actually matters really make fun of anyone for liking something? lol anyone that's making fun of someone for anime was going to just pick something else said person enjoys anyway to make fun of, that person was going to made fun of regardless of what they liked lmao. |
| Yeah as funny as it seems it happens to me a lot.. But I don't care whatever they think of me, those people never really mattered to me at all I've always adhered in a lone wolf lifestyle after all.. |
| Back in the day, liking anime was like liking boybands. It was such a taboo thing, and those who were open about it, were frowned upon. I was open about it and my peers did make fun of me because of it almost all the time, but I didn't care and kept liking what I liked. Now that anime has become mainstream, those who made fun of me in the past, are eating their own words. Fuck them. |

| My little sister would give me shit for it because every fucking time she passed by our room, the anime I'd be watching would just happen to have a female character make some kind of moaning noise, like when they get physically hit and make the most sultry fucking noise. I can't even fight against that, the timing was just so terrible that I couldn't make a retort. |
 |
| Most of my friends are hardcore anime watchers so I really havent been made fun of so |
 |

THIISSS. literally the people who shat on others for watching anime ended up getting into it eventually, thanks to tiktok lmao. |

| i don't think so. they either don't care or don't know about anime. |
| Some of my friends got me into an anime, and pretty much all of them have some interest on it. Most people outside of them who realized that I watch anime are either indifferent to it or interested in trying it out. |
Rest in Piece, Miura. |
| That's just school in the early 2010s and 2000s. Now it's cool to watch anime and play video games. Times have changed. |
  |
| yeah, its the same people that now are crying over anime titties and criticising anime because it's directed toward gross otaku and they can't enjoy it. |
| Been made fun of a lot. I generally ignore people like that unless they get in my face about things. I don't care for the opinions of idiots, being made fun of isn't an issue for me, but I am aware of it happening and it can be annoying. |
| Lol when I said to my friend I watch anime he said you should've been born Japanese lmao.Funniest shit I've heard all day. |

| everyday lol, and no it's more of a friendly joke so no need to talk back |
 |
| Not at all, my friends who aren't into anime are super open and chill with the fact I like anime. I used to be kinda ashamed of liking anime myself, but getting older I just don't give a f anime lmao I'm doing anime streams now on Twitch and have been having lots of fun introducing ppl who aren't into anime to series I watch. |
| desu desu binches |
| I used to hide the fact that I watched anime, and now watching anime started being cool so not really |
