Her first reaction is "WTF! Yosuga no Sora as profile pic?". I replied to her that is nothing wrong with it since I'm a big fan of that show. "That's not right, that show is meant to be seen by dirty old men and you're not a dirty old man. You're a nice young lady." I said to her lots of romantic novel(that she loves) had similar elements too and so I still can't see anything wrong wit it. "Why not change it into something more female-friendly, like a topless bishie or better, two topless bishies embracing each other". I said no thanks I never interested with that despite being a straight woman myself. Not all women find (fake) gays sexy and I'm not homophobic.

Your taste is so, so. Yosuga does have legit romance, but yeah i can see why she think its for perverted old man cause of the hentai scenes.

I However, don't acknowledged the part where she said k-on and lucky star for perverted old man, she is tripen there.
Well ... Lucky Star and K-On are like poster childs of "Moe anime" which in turn is usually associated with those creepy otaku you see that have their "waifu" on their shirt ... so ... Not saying either series is for old men, but definitely her comment is coming from somewhere.

I understand moe, however its not perverted scenery anime.

I simply like lucky star because it target ppl who can understand otaku reference with humor and moe. K-on which my sister likes musical, moe, and humor too.

Just because a guy like moe don't mean its for pervert old man. See the difference

you are right, it doesn't, but that is the stereotype in the anime world, that Otaku watch Moe, and that Otaku are perverted older men.

Yeah, your taste is fine. Who cares about the animes' targeted demographic? It just makes you different. And we all know being unique is awesome!

Although you may as well turn the tables and insult her taste while you're at it. That'll definitely make her reconsider stomping on others' tastes.

1. I'm male.
2. My GF have MAL account.

First of all, we're living together so watching anime is sometimes difficult, for example when I'm watching show that from my point of view is very likable, my sweetheart stands behind my back and she's shouting something like "your favorite anime is SHIT! SHIIIIIIT!!!11one", and it's driving me crazy. In other point, sometimes when she's watching anime and from pure curiosity I'm starting to peeking on her screan, sudenly insanely loud laugh is coming out from my mouth without me even notice that maybe I'm offending her in some way.

She hate's Yosuga no Sora, and when I'm speaking about hate I realy mean it but from some unknown reasons she likes Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls.

I think that talking about anime taste is very difficult. It's not about specific genres, not even about all times top classics. When it comes to anime, films, books or mangas or anything like that, it is clear that that particular anime (etc.) will make it's own way to your heart or your ass, not a genre. When I'm saying something like "what a piece of crap is he/she watching?!" I realy mean "I don't like it" but it's nothing like "you have bad taste".

My GF and I are fighting now and ever defending our favorite animes, and when it isn't too intense it's realy funny in some way.

Girl, no one that gives Hidamari Sketch, Yuru Yuri, Clannad + After Story, or Yosuga no Sora a score over 5 has bad taste, trust me.

Hell I think it's just fine. If she thinks you're a dirty old man, then god dammit be a dirty old man! You look at those lolis and you say "damn, they're cute." You watch those sex scenes in Yosuga no Sora and say "damn, that's hot." Nothing's wrong with that. I highly doubt that she's never gotten turned on during a 'dirty old man' anime, so screw it.

Why are you questioning what you like just because one fool criticized it? If you worry about what every single person thinks about you or what you like, then you're going to screw yourself over. Anyway, why does it matter? You like what you like. So, to answer your question, your taste isn't crap at all. It's crap to put down other people's interests down. In the end, that person has a crappy personality.

In a nutshell, yes. But there's nothing wrong with that, you can enjoy whatever you want. I would venture to say that having shitty taste actually improves the ease of finding a show you like, cause there are more shitty shows than good ones, that's for goddamn sure. I almost wish I had shitty taste... almost.

I hope she's not a friends of yours, because that means showing no respects for one's preferences. If you like something, it's up to you and your likings. Don't listen to others and try to fit their choices onto you. As long as you're not doing something bad, anything you do is in your rights.

I watched Yosuga no Sora too, and I'm certainly not an old fat pervy geezer.

Hey, if you have shitty taste, then my taste would be just as shitty or even worse? And I'm a girl. I watched Yosuga no Sora, Lucky Star and planning on Yuru Yuri. I watch anime for either humor or for the story or psychology behind it. I watch what pulls my attention. Heck, I had friends trying to make me watch K-On and they never succeeded in doing so. I just refuse watching it because it doesn't pull my attention and I'm simply not interested in it. Does that make me any less of an anime fan? No.

That friend of yours is very disrespectful towards you saying all that. Who cares if you watch series that are originally aimed at "dirty old men" (though Lucky Star I wouldn't say it's just for dirty old men?). Anime have certain groups of people they aim for but that doesn't mean you shouldn't watch something if you don't fall in said group. I watched plenty of series that fall in the group of shounen, do I care about that? No, I only care about if I enjoy watching a serie. You should just enjoy your series too. ;D

That friend of yours reminds me of someone who kept telling me I was watching anime waaaay too slowly and I should hurry up and watch the series she was watching (annoyed the heck out of me and soon I just stopped talking to her because I didn't want to feel like I'm a failure of an anime fan, which I'm definitely not =_=).

Yes. Srsly though, everyone is free to like what they want to like. If shes your friend she shouldn't be judging you just because she doesn't agree with your opinion.

Actually she said lots of bad things to my favorite shows(maybe just because those shows aren't shoujo or josei to begin with) but she may a good point. Maybe I should stop becoming a "dirty old man" and watch something that really fits to my gender or stay as it is while avoiding good shoujo and yaoi shows just because they didn't fit to my taste.


This thread strangely reminds me of OreImo.

Personally you should watch whatever you want. I'm a guy and I love watching anime be it shounen, seinen, shoujo, or josei. Hell I even watch anime that hints at BL and I'm perfectly comfortable with my heterosexuality. People who still think in terms of "gender appropriate" are centuries behind the modern, civilized world.

Not a girl sorry, but you should continue watching them. There is a good reason why anime is different from each other. To provide people with the type they like. Imagine if every anime was action, and sc-fi no other ones. Wouldn't that just get boring?

Totally agree. If every anime were action/sci-fi then half of us would not be here and anime would not be in my interests.

There I said it.
