I don't think people who prefer manga are stupid, I just think they're really limiting themselves and losing a lot of insight they could gain.

Because preferring one thing over the other means you don't like the other?

I like manga and books, but I have a thing for the visual arts, so on that count, as a general rule, I prefer manga to books. I still love books, and read books. If I become a fan of a book, I generally trawl around for fanart. Because I like it. I'm in book mode at the moment because I can't afford manga D:

I could understand all this 'limiting' stuff if some one said they only read comics/manga, but then, surely the reverse can said to be true. There are many beautiful, clever and meaningful stories to be found in manga (and probably other comic mediums too.) Surely all these people who won't touch manga are missing out as well?

Well, I'm taking the argument to the extreme end of the spectrum. :) Hyperbole tends to come out quite frequently. But anyway, it's based along the ideas that if you (general you) prefer one medium to the other, you would tend to only stay in that medium, and therefore your reluctance to read a book would make you lose out on a lot of great things. Of course, there are always people that enjoy both, but I don't think that's who the secret-maker was really talking about.

And the reverse is always true, I'm not denying that. I think both are viable ways of telling a story. More than likely, there are actually more people that are missing out on what comics can give them than there are people missing out on what books can. And then again, in America there's just a good chance that half the country doesn't read at all, so what can you do?

Personally, the books I've read have always had a stronger effect on my life than the manga I've read. But I'm very much geared towards language rather than visuals, so I suppose that's to be expected. x3 Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, I'm tired right now.
