Re: Secrets you're too lazy to make

[(Anonymous)]

I'm an adult with fairly "normal" friends. My only other friend who likes anime is secretly a big geek, like me, which is awesome! But she brings social justice into everything, and is constantly ripping on shows for sexism, etc. On one hand, I agree with most everything she says. On the other hand, I just want to enjoy escaping into my silly anime world without having to ethically dissect them. She acquiesces that it's okay to like "problematic things" as long as you acknowledge their flaws, but I just want to quietly escape my mundane white collar job without having to be a miserable grown-up at home, too.

That sounds frustrating. Maybe tell her you know the shows are problematic and you know that she knows the shows are problematic, but pointing it damps the mood?

Wow, I would honestly find it impossible to be in a friendship like this.

Re: Secrets you're too lazy to make

Same, it sounds exhausting.

Re: Secrets you're too lazy to make

Same, I would ditch someone like that because why be friends with someone who is just going to make you feel bad about yourself?

Re: Secrets you're too lazy to make

I agree with the previous anon, she sounds exhausting and not fun. My vote is to widen your circle of friends and find people who understand that sometimes you just want to watch a show without having a big dramatic dance of problematic acknowledgement about it.

I had a former friend that was like this. We liked a lot of the same shows but she couldn't stop bringing up how anything and everything was potentially problematic. It isn't a personality trait that is fun to be around.

But it is reality, isn't it?

Re: Secrets you're too lazy to make

A possible reality, if you let it be as such. Look hard enough and it's fairly easy to see the bad in everything regardless of subject matter.

idk, I once was willing to let a friendship die when someone started going on an on about how some series "betrayed" them because of a single bad entry.

I mean other things contributed, obviously, but I realized I didn't want to be around people who had nothing better to do than negatively criticize and bash things. It really is exhausting, and on some level insulting. It's like, yeah, thanks, my tastes are unforgivably shitty, thanks. (yes, yes, I'm aware everyone is entitled to their own opinions. It's still exhausting to hear over and over how much something you love sucks ass)

As other people above me have pointed out, it's exhausting to have your opinions dissected in front of you.
I think your friend needs to grow up a little, and not invade your fandom space as often. Then you can have your escapism, and they can keep their heartfelt analysis to themselves.
In the interest of full disclosure, I enjoy fandom as escapism AND over analysis. It is, however, disgustingly rude to assume that someone else has to enjoy fandom your way just because you are physically present and willing to talk things over for an hour or two.
