The manga/anime versus cartoon/comic divide really annoys, because not only does it make a dumb divide between people who are into literally the same thing, it leaves non-american/non-japanese work to the wayside too.

That bothers me too. It's hard to find people who share my love for French animation.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with French animation, but I do like the Franco-Belgian comics I've read!

Like what? I don't know as much about comics in general but I'm always happy to get recommendations.

Off the top of my head: Asterix, Tintin, Yoko Tsuno, Spirou et Fantasio, Blacksad... there's a bunch more, but I'm drawing a blank right now.

Oh yeah, and everything by Joann Sfar! Joann Sfar is the best.

I've been meaning to check out Asterix for a while. I should really get around to doing that. I think I've heard of a couple of the others (in addition to Tintin obviously) but I know nothing about them. I'll look into them. Thanks!

Yes, this too! America and Japan aren't the only countries that make cartoons and comics, FFS.

What really pisses me off is when someone arguing the inferiority or superiority of manga tries to support their argument by dissing/praising "western comics", as though all western countries produce the exact same sorts of comics.

NO.

You can NOT lump together multiple comic traditions that evolved separately and have very different stylistic conventions. It is ridiculous, and unfair to both sides of the debate.

Absolutely. And I have a hard time deciding who's more obnoxious about it. I used to have a friend who refused to play ANYTHING made in Japan. Really made conversing with him a bit difficult at times. And a while back I had an argument with a weeb that made me so fistclenchingly fucking angry. I'd said something about how the whole anime vs comics argument was dumb, and she, colossally missing the point, said, "I agree, anime is clearly superior."

Point is geeks are dipshits.
