I don’t think any of my co-workers are really aware that I like anime except for one guy who is also a big closet weeb. However, unless I say something I don’t think anyone would guess that I am particularly interested in anime. I have many friends (of all walks of life) and I’m generally well-liked at work by my co-workers. I have a stable middle-class job, bathe daily, and wear clean clothes each day. That and you basically just called a lot of east Asia a bunch of losers because they happen to watch cartoons that they make.” It sounds like you only judge anime off of the cringe subs on reddit or just the internet in general. “That’s definitely a big generalization of a fan base of a form of media. Related: Why You Have NO Reason To Be Ashamed Of Liking Anime INB4 the anime icon nerds come and try to defend their sh*tty entertainment medium. And every action anime has like the same plot, there’s this guy who’s a loser and he has some sort of special ability no one else has but he sucks until he masters it, which he does halfway through the show then becomes over-powered. Like who gives a f*ck about a bunch of girls starting a band or some sh*t. It’s all just little girls in high-school and perverted stuff. “Like I just don’t get how any self respecting human being could willingly expose themselves to that garbage. I don’t know if it’s because all the human anime fans are hiding so they aren’t associated with these aliens but you guys are weird man.” Couples that are into anime are generally weird. “At the end of the day I don’t care what you do but i find that the majority of people who like anime have been weird as f*ck.Īnyone i know on Facebook that likes anime was weird in high school. So now back to my question, why does it?” Then my other experience was last week where accounts on twitter were being hacked by some nerds and ofc they were all weebs (yes I know the difference) When I used to play some games on Steam the no-lives, the hackers etc were always with anime avis. I know several friends who are just outgoing and watch anime just like others watch netflix, but then there’s like 3 guys in my class who are fat, dirty and go to school in anime shirts and they ONLY TALK ABOUT ANIME! But I feel like I can’t even speak of a “vocal minority” because it really does seem that “losers” make up a way too big part of the ones watching it. “See just to throw it out first, I have watched some animes and I think that there’s some pretty good ones and I know the majority of people watching it just keep it lowkey. Most will not get off their butts, work out and attempt a shot at a normal life until it is too late.Īnd the good-looking ones you see in conventions? Obviously paid and are there to fulfil a contractual obligation, or something’s fundamentally wrong with them.” “Most are unattractive or obese and live in this fantasyland for momentary bursts of dopamine. Parents shouldn’t let their kids watch anime for the sake of “being themselves”.
And they all complain about being “nice guys”. “All the people I know who watch anime really suck at life. Why “Redditors” believe anime is for losers To highlight the irrationality behind people’s thinking, and how the world judges instead of trying to understand. This is not to highlight negativity or to give it “power”, but to start a discussion. And share some of the things people believe about anime fans. The psychology of it is crazy, so I thought I’d do a post on it. Trolls and haters on the internet never get tired of saying it when they’re acting no different by design. It’s common as f*ck if you’re into anime.
