| No not really |
| Why would I? It doesn't matter to me what other's read or watch, everyone can do what they like. I guess I'm one of those n00b because I don't keep in update...I prefer to go at my own pace. Same here |
| Yes I do there are some n00bs that have extremely good taste and I think that's commendable. And elitists are great people to talk to (whether it be for amusement or discussion purposes) |
 |
Nope not all read what you want, everyone has to start somewhere. |
   |
| I try my best not to, but it happens to everyone once in awhile. I try to be as open-minded as I can when it comes to this community, and hope that everyone tries to do the same... |
 I'm pretty sure life is a tsundere... |
axis said: Back then, Dragonball was THE thing...Which was happening with the emergence of many anime that became mainstream. A lot of people judged those who like Dragonball as amateurs. Nowadays, do you judge others as "n00b"s for their reading material? yes i look down on them liking long running shounen crap like that. and i expect people to look down on me for the mindless drivel that i read like girls bravo, gacha gacha, or hayate. it's not like i'm advocating removing shounen action from bookstores. if i wanted to push my views on other people like that i'd go join christianity or something. |
 |
| Nah, I do find the majority of shonen a bit dull and silly, but understand I'm not part of the demographic. Just not very interested in it. Had I gotten into anime and manga much earlier, I could see myself enjoying it more. |

| I only look down on them if they're wannabe-otaku, and there's a lot of signs of wannebe-otakuness :D |
| only when people know only 2 -3 mainstream series, refuse to explore other series and yet still claim that they are "hardcore" fans. wtf? to me, the label "hardcore" should should only be applied when someone's love of anime start to affect their health and hygiene. at that point its really not something to brag about. my apologies for the rant that went slightly off topic >.> |
     |
| I have a few friends who only follow Bleach and Naruto. But that's only because they're not as interested in all-that-is-otaku. Makes me kinda sad though, because they were the ones that inroduced me to anime in the first place ;_; |
 My kingdom for a bottle of plum juice! |
| It doesn't matter to me what someone else reads. If they like it, they like it. Who am I to judge? Now I would give recomendations |
 |
| I don't care what a person likes or dislikes. People who stick on only a few anime/manga series or refuse to branch out are missing out on a huge portion; I don't look down on them it's frustrating at times. |
| I sometimes judge dub-watchers as inferior to sub-watchers. Or maybe just the series themselves. Other than that, I don't judge people by what they read/watch. It has more to do with their behavior, like these people mentioned: OTOhime said: I only look down on them if they're wannabe-otaku, and there's a lot of signs of wannebe-otakuness :D Voron79 said: The only people I look down too are people who are scared of what people think of there hobby. People who are to afraid to read manga in public. >:-( |
| Not really. Watch or read what you want, I really don't care all that much. I may not understand it(such as yaoi>______>) but I don't look down on people for it. Though I do tend to get slightly annoyed by people who think their better because they watch anime or read manga that no ones heard of, and act as if there's something wrong with liking mainstream. Same goes with people who act stuck up because you prefer the dub of a manga over a sub. "OMG YOU LIKE TEH DUB, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOUSSS". |

I read the Naruto manga so alot of people look down on me because of that, but it's a hell of alot better than the anime. I don't judge people by the manga they read, in fact it's quite fun when you meet someone with completely different taste to you. You could be introduced to something completely alien but you learn to love it. |
 |
| I certainly don't look down on others for what they read or watch. However, I do sometimes look down on them for what they don't read or watch. It can get a little complicated if I go down that track, though, so I won't. |

HaddenIV said: I wont usualy give out a "noob" label myself, but I have been known to label some as "adult swim otaku" which im sure the label speaks for it's self. There are quite a few out there who only watch adult swim and assume they know all there is to know about anime. Totally agree... |
 |
| Yes, I do. But it's usually the Adult Swim crowd I tend to look down on. I know it's wrong and I end up looking like an elitist ass, but I don't really care. I can't help feeling a twinge of disappointment and some nerd rage when I go to conventions and they're flooded with mediocre crap like Naruto/Bleach/whatever. People are free to watch/read whatever they want, and I'm not gonna stop them. But I'm still gonna think they're kinda lame. But then again, I watch Soul Eater, so who am I to talk. [edit]: Just realized what I was trying to say. It's not so much the shows, but the fans themselves. The fandoms can make me go from being simply indifferent to a show to absolutely hating it (ex. crazy yaoi fangirls) |

LolitaDecay said: OuterSpaceDog said: And what exactly is so wrong with Soul Eater? :|But then again, I watch Soul Eater, so who am I to talk. Just another generic shounen. It's not horrible, but it's nothing new either. The manga's art is atrocious (though I've heard it gets better in the later volumes, so I'm still gonna give a chance..), so I really only watch the anime for BONE's animation. Take a look at Harry Potter. Then Soul Eater. |
| Only when I'm in tall buildings. An inclination to harbor condescension, whether expressed or internal, is poison for good character. There's a difference between thinking you're right and thinking you're better. |

Jiraiyathesage said: Here here! That's my goal also, although I've never come across someone who thinks it's sad. Quite the opposite really.Actually without manga I wouldn't have my main goal, and if people look down on me and perhaps give criticism or say "how sad, having manga as his main reason for his future goal", quite simply I will respond- yeah like learning an entire language isn't admirable. It may be a tough path but if done I consider it an immense achievement- especially being not good at learning languages. Long live willpower! |
|
| i look down if there shorter than me =D but no i dont judge people unlike they dont earn my trust |
 |
| honestly, I do call some people n00b when the animes you only know is Naruto, Bleach and One Piece and when you don't really make the difference between manga and anime and you say "manga" when you are talking about "anime", then yes you're a n00b |
| Nah, I don't think so. Read whatever interests you~ :] |
    |
| Nope! I never look down on anyone when it comes to this kind of thing, i don't see how you can. Just because someone has different tastes to you doesn't make them any better or worse a person, it just makes them different. When it comes to hobbies i find elitism abit pointless really! |
| I look down on kids that always pick up Bleach and Naruto, thinking to myself "If only you knew what else was out there." |

Jiraiyathesage said: As for the word noob, remember everyone here had to start somewehere, give people a chance to get used to something, would you have been wanted to be called a noob when you started manga and anime? Apologies for any offence there, I offer a handshake if you accept. Nice meeting you btw. Well, I didn't want to be mean or anything. I'm not using the word noob in a disrespectful way to mock people, just a synonym of newbie. I call my friends who begin watching anime and reading manga noob, in a friendly way, as for they are newbies... I was a noob too when I begin reading manga and watching anime until I learn how to properly use a computer for anime and manga... |
| As someone pointed out, I tend to question some peoples' tastes. Like, I have a friend who only watches stuff on [adult swim], yet calls people who like Bleach and Naruto "n00bs." Uh, fail. |

| Not rlly i kinda try not to judge ppl and even less to be inferior i think we are all equal just with diff tastes |
    |
| No. That would just make me look ridiculous to judge somebody solely based on what they watch and read. That's called being prejudice, people. |
"I've read so much manga that at times my mind works in comic panels and dramatically expressed chibis. I'm both ashamed and amused by this." |
marukawa said: on most places on the 'net, noob/n00b and newb/newbie are two different things. saying 'noob' and meaning 'newbie' will throw several people for a loop. >w<; yeah... I just read about the difference between noob ("bad") and newbie ("good") on urban dictionary... I didn't knew noobs were THAT bad. I think I'll avoid using the word noob now... ¬_¬' |
| Nope. I mean, I read "n00b" manga all the time but that doesn't mean that I'm new to this or anything. |
 |
| Normally I wouldn't call them n00bs. Only if I'm joking or something.Like they said, read what you want. |
| No, I don't. I'll watch/read what I want when I want. I don't get why people care about things like that... |
 |
| i don't see any reason to look down on anyone. everyone has to start out as a "n00b" some time or another. i feel like there's already a stigma placed on people who like to read/watch manga and anime. why tear apart people who are trying to understand and enjoy the same type of things you do? |
| i do question some peope's tastes but i dont look down on them >.> |

| I'm back. |
