| The whole Otaku thing and all the stereotypes coming around it. It almost looks like you can'tjust be a normal person with good personal hygiene, who loves animated shows. |

Scruff said: Yeah I agree with this. We had this discussion 3 pages back and it got nowhere :/ I was trying to explain that it has nothing to do with Otakus how the "normal" people perceive you if you watch anime, play video games, or for instance "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". The problem is in them, they prejudge and most likely are not willing to understand. You have this experience with your colleague, did he change his attitude because of some Otakus? |

| I like the fact that I get to socialize with people with the same common interest as me. I hardly know anyone that's as much of an otaku as I am. I dislike anime elitists. "Oh my god, I can't believe you gave blank a high score! You're such a fanboy/girl." Seriously, everybody has their own opinion and everybody should be allowed to express it. Oh, and people who are overly cynical and criticize every little bit of everything. Being cynical doesn't make you smarter. |

It's just that the ones who don't shower stand out more and I am assuming some of the posters in this thread have generalized anime fans with not showering because of this. |

This is a good explanation. There should be some statistical term for this, but the closest I can come up with is confirmation bias, but that isn't quite the "noticeability bias" that is happening in this situation. Maybe it could be considered memory bias. |

| I think it probably stems from the fact it's easier to notice people who smell bad than good. Anyway: Likes: More open minded and entertaining group of people Dislikes: Those really socially awkward ones. I was at a convention where we had this socially awkward kid who would copy dance/attack moves from the screen in the middle of the room. Later on in the day he was staring at another socially awkward kid who wouldn't stop talking with the "What the hell is weirdo up to face." |

I always had a place for you in my heart...! Ahem... Well to be honest, I don't mind the size. That's of no importance. Isn't that a matter of taste? Actually that's a bit of a sexual thing, so you can't actually choose what you find attractive, or else you're lying to yourself. Think about it. It's like asking the person in question to change from Heterosexual to Homosexual or Bisexual. It's impossible. Perhaps "hate" is a bit extreme but I'll never understand it, personally That's cool though because like you say sexual attraction is involuntary and subjective STILL |
Slurpentine said: Perhaps "hate" is a bit extreme but I'll never understand it, personally That's cool though because like you say sexual attraction is involuntary and subjective STILL I prefer smaller to larger, but I don't go for completely flat since that's a bit weird. The way I see it is that breasts are pretty much just lumps of fat to begin with, so moderation is good. |

| Yeah, I added the "of age" part so that it would be easier to understand for other people reading. I didn't see how being depressed and having low self-esteem had anything to do with being immature. |

| What I like about the anime community, nearly all my friends are into the same thing as I am and they are really nice people and awesome to hang out with. What I dislike, this is mostly in the cosplay area, people are being so judgmental. They're always saying American people shouldn't cosplay at all, only Japanese people should cosplay. The whole point in cosplaying is having fun. Plus, too many Vic Mignogna fans in my area. The lines for his panel and autograph session was freakin' crazy! I love that guy myself but enough is enough! All the other voice actors needs some love too! |

| oh hey look! this show is dubbed into multiple languages! let me do a quick check to see which language i speak *........english......* ... "i hardly think that is disrespect t'wards anime. besides, the dubs are translated by professionals, fan subs are not." -had to get that outa my system :P now onto the important part. comparing mal to other social networking sites, i think among this community in particular it is very easy to *insert verb for social networking...* ... i find this website, make an account, start adding stuff to my list, write a few review, post a couple things on the forum and all of a sudden i've collected a few friends, started numerous good discussions, exchanging great anime i would've found otherwise and so on... but as for the entire anime community as a whole i can't really say much other than "they all like ... anime" because that's really the only trait you could pin on all of them at the same time and still be correct |
| Another thing I dislike for some reason are people who have several hundred/ a thousand "friends" on this site, A.K.A. friend whores. Is there really any point in having that many contacts, especially if you don't talk to them? Reminds me of Facebook. The same goes for clubs. I've seen people that are in over 1,000 different clubs. I mean, how do you even...? |

I mean, how do you even...? Yeah I agree with this. At least for facebook there are good reasons for having a lot of friends - you might actually have that many acquantainces in real life, and it's nice to be able to communicate with them without fear of changed phone numbers, mailing addresses, email addresses, and so on. On here though, that's just kind of silly. |

ChocoKewkies said: Dislikes: Having a pointless conversation with someone who thinks dubs > subs. I mean honestly this is opinion based and it really matters which version you watch first. Furthermore its disrespectful to original anime if you purposely watch/wait for the English dub to release. A language barrier shouldn't stop you from watching a great anime if your a true, loyal Otaku. So, according to this logic, I'm being disrespectful to anime because, to quote Vic Mignogna, "I'd rather not read a TV Show"? |
| If there's one thing I dislike about the anime community, it's the whole "English Dubs are the devil" thing. I like to watch Anime. With subtitles, I have to read. If I wanted to read, I'd grab a freaking book off my shelf. I've said this many times before, and I will keep saying it until people stop complaining about being able to understand what the characters are saying. |
ne44to said: ^Sorry, but you are being stupid. There are perfectly valid reasons to prefer dub over sub, but that is one of the weakest arguments I know. One of the stupidest people I know once wrote this on fb: "If I want to be smarter, I would watch a book". I challenge you to watch first half of any series using subs, and then the rest in dub. If you don't like it, then you watching on the complexity level of pokemon (you specifically, no other people that have valid reasons to use subs). *you're Now that that's out of the way, challenge already done. I've already watched both seasons of Rosario + Vampire with subtitles before, and I'm currently re-watching it dubbed (I'm up to the 11th episode right now). |

Uhh, I like both subs and dubs and I still think that's a stupid argument. You're still watching anime even if it has subtitles. It's not really that I dislike the people who hate dubs, it's the people who have such extreme opinions either way. "You're disrespectful to anime if you watch dubs" and "I'd rather not read a TV show" are equally ridiculous viewpoints. |
 |
| You can watch whatever you want, sub or dub, just don't come here and be like "OMG DUBS > SUBS, ME NOT READ SHOW" or "OMG SUBS > DUBS, Y U NO RESPECT ANIME?". If I want subtitles I'll watch with subtitles as I like the original voice, I rarely watch dubs because most of them are quite badly made. |

| Whatever happened to liking both English Dubbed Anime, and watching something in Japanese with subtitles? Also, I don't see how that's a valid complaint, I can watch an anime with subtitles and follow something just fine. It's not that hard unless you're dyslexic.. It is a little difficult and cumbersome with some anime, though, and I have a hard time when I'm watching something subbed later in the night when I'm probably tired from work. I grew up watching anime dubbed, so I don't have a problem with those. But why is this issue separated into such a Black and White thing? I think it's pretty childish that the anime community still has this sort of problem, and their attitudes are even worse. I'll add this example to things I dislike about the anime community. |

| ^ @ Scruff Thanks for clarifying. You're one of the things I dislike about the anime community. Do you even buy anime? Probably not if you're "protesting" dual-audio releases (which is most of them)... but did you ever consider that pirating the anime that these "hard working actors" are in may be a tad more disrespectful? |

I own all of the Anime that I have rated 9 or 10. Some of the 8s as well. Simply because my parents used to dote on me and buy me anything I want. Now I've got a job, it's got much harder for me to buy my Anime, but I still do. And yes, it's a catch 22; If I want to support the Anime I like it means I'm going against my own values, but I see that as a necessary evil, as much as I hate it. If I could, I would ship the Japanese Releases oversees, but region codes/ ridiculous Otaku prices do not allow for that. |
