| Ignorance, xenophobia, and poor sampling of the medium, the last of which creates the misconception that it's all childish cartoons and all pornography. Not one or the other, but somehow paradoxically both at the same time. |
on 
| my friends think anime is like porn so i think to most people who haven't watched anime that's like the generalization of it. a friend called me anime. i got the name "anime" at a sports practice and it caught on they think its funny so i go with it and i think its funny. but the majority of my friends don't watch so i think it funny what they think anime is. |

DJIzzyIzzyHitler said: cause anime fans are the lowest common denominator I don't want to judge everyone, but this is sadly the truth in many cases. I am not one to judge; I mean look I am a member of MAL myself. The thing is many Anime/Manga fans that I have met IRL are extremely socially awkward, don't look after themselves, and just give off a bad image. I am comfortable admitting I am an Anime fan, but that is because I have so much more obvious things about me that people can see. I am also a huge sports fan and someone who loves going to the gym. Anime is one aspect of my life. In many cases, I blame others for judging people who have a certain hobby. In this case, I can't blame the people who look down on Anime watchers too much because the Anime watchers themselves should take a huge share of the blame. |

| because it's a shitty hobby to have, we should all be ashamed of ourselves, go dig a hole and hide in it. |

IntroverTurtle said: hazerddex said: I wasn't necessarily talking about you but posting a video about just how many times they say fuck in the show isn't really showing how it's mature. It's clear that your aim was to show them that an anime show says curse words a lot(which isn't mature).IntroverTurtle said: but black lagoon is mature o_oGuys stop telling people to watch gore and ecchi shows whenever someone talks about anime being for kids. Stick with a mature one. But it's not for kids. To a point, hazerddex is right. Gore, nudity and cursing are inaproppiate content that can make some anime unfitting for kids. I'd say that maturity doesn't have these restrictions. A show can be mature while being essentially aimed at kids. |
| WHO??? who are those people who look down on anime???....nah jk.. its the sad truth :(.....idk why but being addicted to anime is waaaayy better than being drug addicts (*cough meth cough*),alcoholics and stuff like that. |
 |
| i blame shows like naruto or any other long running shounen that are intended for kids, long running shounen shows are so popular that none anime fans think this is the only kind of anime out there |

I'd say that maturity doesn't have these restrictions. A show can be mature while being essentially aimed at kids. A good example of a very much child-aimed show that's very mature would be Ojamajo Doremi. Some episodes are childish, but there are a shit ton of arcs that deal with extremely mature topics and don't beat around the bush - ranging from things like child abuse and racism to things like societal expectations, legitimate kidnapping, death, and abandonment. And not all silly filled with jokes, but much of it treated seriously. Yet, at the same time, it's clearly a children's show and for the most part is fun and light hearted - which makes it all the more jarring when that stuff comes up. |

Manderton said: Because the fanbase is largely autistic Well, you certainly proved your point quickly. |
|
| 'Cause they have good posture while they're watching, allowing them to maintain good back health and look down at their laptop simultaneously. |
| Well for one, in many places there is the social stigma that watching animation is not something you usually do pass your child/teenage years. There is also the tendency for people to associate all echii/hentai hijinx, hyper-violent action, etc to all anime. Plus, some anime fans seem to have the need to hark anime as the second coming everywhere, which may end up pissing people off. Not to mention, the vocal creepy minority of anime fans. |

jsg said: A lot of ppl hide that they watch anime because they're scared of what other ppl might think. I was wondering why do you guys think this is? I do not hide the fact I watch anime. Now if there is some weeaboo retards at your school making everyone who watches anime look like a weeaboo or wapanese retard I could see being embarrassed about the fact you watch anime.But considering the fact a lot of people watch Family Guy, Simpsons, Adult swim cartoons, Southpark and many other cartoon shows then all this stigma about watching anime is probably in your head. If you do not know what a weeaboo/wapanese person is then read this article.Its a little harsh.And if you find yourself acting like the people mentioned in this article you might be extremely pissed. https://encyclopediadramatica.es/Wapanese |
| Because most non anime watchers think it's porn and gay shit and think it's mostly for kids. Seriously. One of my friends played the Weiß Schwarz TCG on his PSP in school and one of his classmates came to him and asked him what the fuck he plays, if that's Hello Kitty or what and that he surely watches those "manga porns". What a retard. |

| I usually look forward at anime, as do most people. When I happen to be watching it on my iPad, I do look down on it though. |

I'm pretty sure watching Spongebob is as bad as watching anime... |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Why do NON-anime fans look down on anime? Because they don't like it or understand it and therefore as humans, we usually look down on that which we dislike or misunderstand. Why do anime fans look down on anime? Various reasons....although I think the majority of them look down on the fans rather than the actual anime.....and those that do look down on anime in general....well, I have no idea. |
| Probably because of people like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecwRObqxUQ8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvozYm3S-kw http://kielmaru07.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/1259829153228.jpg |

So you're saying, just because a majority of anime fans are "weirdos" equals the main reason people look down on it? It's such an obscure genre, I can hardly blame anyone for judging anime based on their first impression because chances are it happened to be an ecchi or god forbid DBZ. I feel if people give anime a chance they usually learn to like it. |
