IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE????????????
damn, that meme is so old and I still see it around, lmao.

I get you, OP. But saying you hate "all anime" kind of rubs me in the wrong way.
The medium is so vast and different. I doubt you know more that an handful of the most famous titles. It's like with any other media: the most recommended stuff is almost always on the mediocre side.
Maybe say you hate "anime fandom" next time. That's very understandable and reasonable.

Ugh

Damn, sorry if I offended you. I really didn't want to.
I sympathize with you and I don't watch anime anymore so this is not my cause. But Japanese animation is not all the same and the anime fandom is obnoxious about mostly shounen shows, which are shows aimed at teenage boys that, while entertaining, are very mediocre for the most part. There are some great anime movies and show around. You probably were never exposed to them.

nayrt but don't apologize. People making sweeping judgments about things they haven't given a chance, that's very annoying. Saying it rubs you the wrong way isn't an attack on OP.

this. my grandparents are in their 80s and there's plenty of anime that i've shown them that they've enjoyed. anime is as varied a genre as is western movies, so saying that you hate all anime comes across as being more than a little xenophobic for good reason.

(Anonymous) 2024-02-09 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
that's a good point, though-- if someone didn't like all western movies, nobody would have a problem with it. it's this anime component that is making anons lose their minds.

(Anonymous) 2024-02-09 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
uh, what? i can assure you that people would think someone was weird if they said they hated all western movies.

(Anonymous) 2024-02-09 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
sure, jan

(Anonymous) 2024-02-09 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, are you trying to learn memes today?

(Anonymous) 2024-02-09 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
I used to say I hated all American comics, but then I learned there were other American comics besides Marvel and DC.

(Anonymous) 2024-02-09 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess it depends whether they meant all movies made in the West or all movies that belong to the genre called "western."

(Anonymous) 2024-02-09 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Anime isn't a genre. It's a medium. It's like saying you hate all sculptures.

(Anonymous) 2024-02-09 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Why are SO many anons baffled at the thought that someone might dislike an entire medium? By this logic we should be getting pissed when someone says they hate all tomatoes. Can we stop the inane comparisons yet?

(Anonymous) 2024-02-09 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Because it's like saying you hate all movies. Or all podcasts. Or all radio plays. Or all LP albums. Like, I guarantee there's something out there you do like. It's not like a genre, where you have to have certain elements and maybe you hate one of the elements (country music for me, I hate the twang - kinda necessary for country music). It's a medium, and someone somewhere has made something in the medium that you'd probably like.

Anyway, the whole point of my comment was that it's a bad analogy, because anime is a medium, not a genre. To use your analogy, it's like saying you hate fruit because people keep shoving tomatoes at you.

You're just getting lost in it, bro. Time to step away from the keyboard.

(Anonymous) 2024-02-09 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
And? Maybe someone really doesn't like sculpture.
Also it's not any media. It's specifically Japanese animation that is maybe diverse but still has it's tropes and styles. It's more like saying that you hate all Roman sculpture. Togas don't do it for me

(Anonymous) 2024-02-09 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
And I was just pointing out that it's a bad analogy. Westerns are a genre, anime is a medium. Anime only has tropes and styles in so much as the culture has tropes and styles. Westerns must have certain elements in order to be in the genre, regardless of the medium. They're not comparable.
