| Is this is a disguised Ageism thread? I don't know much about the anime community but I'm sure it's not one inseparable unit, having lots of different people in it. |
 |
| Nah, one of my friends on here is in his 50s and he's pretty cool for the most part. It's depends a lot on their personality. |

| How would a human scare me? Does not compute O.o |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
Yes. Cause most both look, and talk like this.  |
| If you behave as if you were an adult of that age, I think less people would take issue. If you behave like the teens who are fresh on the scene, then people will be wary of you, feeling that you are misrepresenting yourself. I'd say the majority of users here are younger than I am (27), at least from what I can tell. I'd say none of them really care which is for two reasons. The first being that I never give them reason to need to know my age, and another is that I try to act in a manner that represents my life experience, which alleviates the concern that I might be overstepping the bounds of my age. Although I would also say that a lot of people became fanatics at around my age, and so even though most are younger, there's quite a few who aren't all that much younger still. An issue you'll have to face is that most people your age didn't get into the medium when they were in their teens. Most people your age probably don't even know what anime is. They're aren't quite used to interacting with people like you in the manner they act with others who are like-minded. It isn't discrimination, it's just caution and a lack of understanding. |
| Well, I'm already in the older crowd so I don't feel scared or anything. For me, it's just a hobby I enjoy and I'm not sure what would be scary about that. Unless they're like what @KungFuIndian posted... I'm not even sure they really exist, but they're scary. |

| No I dont see why. I think oldest MAL user I saw was in their late 60s or early 70s and was an art professor that just got into anime. |

| At some point, humans are scary in general. If it's about age tho, it doesn't matter. If you are 50 and you love to dress up as pikachu while screaming pika pika on anime convent - do so, if that floats your boat. People might think that you are... something else, but this is your jam so you shouldnt really care. Also, you have to consider that some people are more or less childish, even while they are older. Just let them have fun in their short lives, dont discriminate them. |

| Otaku in general are gross, its not a term of endearment as it basically means neckbeard Anime fans over 40+ however are fine. My mom's in her mid40's and still talks about trinity blood and hellsing. It all depends on if they're elitist simply cause they've been watching it longer I've met a few comic-book fans like that and I'm sure it happens in the anime community. |
 |
| No, I'm always thrilled to see older people into anime; it's very cool. Sayanna said: Otaku in general are gross, its not a term of endearment as it basically means neckbeard Uh, it actually means 'house', like you spend more time in your house with your hobby than out of your house. Otaku in general are not gross. I mean they CAN be.........but so can every person who has a different hobby than that. |
  |
| I don't have a problem with older folks, no... |
| I used to talk to 40-year-olds all the time online. So I don't really care. |

| I'm not a fan of otakus in general (I'm under the notion that an otaku means a little more than someone liking anime). |
| tbh anyone over 14 years of age who identifies as an otaku scares me |
| No? do comic fans older then 40 scare you? do star wars fans older then 40 scare you? do star treck fans older then 40 scare you? |
| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |

| I really don't care what someones age is as long as they're interesting to talk to. Most of the people I talk to are around triple my age anyway. |

Hell, you're aware i wouldn't be on this forum if i myself did not watch anime right? you can watch anime and be healthy about it, non recluse BATHE Most of the people on this forum are actually sane enough to know that, so if you get triggered by it, something tells me you're a little stinky |
|
| Yeah, it's weird as shit. The moment you turn 40 you're supposed to find all new hobbies |

| No 40+ year old weabs don't scare me. @Sayanna some people just can't accept the facts. Just a reminder Otaku = nippon Weab = the rest |
 |
Sayanna said: Apparently its a crime to think otaku's are gross 🤷🤷 woo nu but yes, I dont wanna throw the thread too far off-topic Stereotyping and treating a group of people like they're ALL the same in general is bad. Don't be shocked when someone calls you out on it. @Swagernator: Enough of your lies. |
|
| why can't old people like shit. Do you expect them to lay there and die to make you feel more comfortable |
  come, you sweet hour of death |
Don't accuse people of lies, its rude and against rules. |
|
| By that logic, gamers older than 40 are also disgusting. As long as people enjoy their hobbies "normally" and don't start humping their body pillows out in public (among other public displays of degeneracy), regardless of their age, I don't care. |
If you hate it so much, quit lying. WHAT is your problem, seriously? I know you keep doing it just to piss me off. |

LOL ME understand? I actually know what I'm talking about. You're like a sheep, following what everybody else here says "If you like anime, you're a weeb." It's pathetic. Don't you have a mind of your own? Why don't you try researching for once? |
|
| I'm looking forward to being one of those, so I think they're pretty cool. There's no age limit on this hobby, although I don't think I've ever personally known an otaku/anime fan/whatever that older than 35. Unless you count meeting Peter Payne (i.e. J-List guy) at a convention. Genma314 said: Are you interested in what anime they saw at your age? Actually yes. I've been trying to watch more older anime, so I welcome recommendations from people that actually lived it lol. |
Genma314 said: Are 40+ otaku out of step with anime today, and should not be allowed in celebrating contemporary anime... I honestly think its cool for someone to be passionate about something for so long, or if they are new to anime to be so open-minded to it. Also whether they should be allowed to celebrate it or not, just because of age, is not something for anyone to decide. |

Yanri said: People who are like that are like that regardless of their age ...no. not everyone is "born" a pedophile. Or "born" into liking lolis. A lot of stuff happens in one's life for them to result in that. It's a process. Not an inherent trait. |
| It's not my business to care about what other people like or do in their spare time. As long as people are not harming others in society or being a danger to themselves I could really care less. To be honest if you're an older person with a cool personality and you like anime? I'd love to be your friend and see what things we can talk about regarding anime/manga. |

KungFuIndian said: well not born a pedophile, but they don't need to be 40 to be like that either. not saying whether liking lolis is pedo or not, but i can assure you most anime fans that think it isn't aren't even 30...no. not everyone is "born" a pedophile. Or "born" into liking lolis. A lot of stuff happens in one's life for them to result in that. It's a process. Not an inherent trait. |
