Quote from: tenbaIf they're not condemning the sex, they'll pick apart the violence, the plot, the "unreality", the "childish" art, the fact that the characters aren't played by real people, the cultural contamination by the Japanese invasion, the demonic symbolism, the merchandizing opportunities by the evil money-making corporations, the subliminal efforts of Japanese Big Media to make American children worship the Japanese overlords in revenge for WWII, etc. ;)
Seriously. It's this very apparent disgust and "weirdness" that is attatched to the anime-watching individual. If one has a few pictures of anime, they are suddenly obsessed perverts that only like anime and nothing else whatsoever. I mean, anime fans are people too...they DO other things (once in a while, I'm sure...heh :roll: ) But there is such stimatism attatched to anime, its almost always coupled with or synonomous with weird, strange, uncool or childish. However, like stated before, there is always going to be something wrong with it. Us fans just have to learn to deal with the arguments and hostilities. Some people are just curious. Just launch into a tirade about your favorite anime scene and the intacracies of this scene and how it effects the overall plot and theme of the anime and most people's eyes will glaze over and walk away. It's worth it just to see their reaction. (heh heh heh)
:D
BUGGER! I can never get the quote thing to work right...!!!! :shock:
