    Every time I get downvoted for pointing out the rampant and casual pedophilia plaguing anime, I hate weebs a little bit more.

      This. I don’t partake in anything anime related and I’m mostly neutral on it as a whole, but the prevalence of pedophilia and related themes is highly disturbing as is the lack of pushback against it from the community.

      And, that being said, the people who make anime their entire personality are also… difficult to be around.

        No joke. They’re the kind of people that have to over-dramatize every damn thing and have explosive reactions to anything.

        Like calm the fuck down, you’re not in an anime show.

      That’s why I don’t like most anime. There are some gems that don’t stoop that low, but the bar is ridiculously low for such a high rate of not meeting it

    I dislike how common certain tropes are, how overacted it is, and how formulaic most of the stories are. I also hate Shounen and its focus on which guy is strongest. It’s boring to me.

    Yesterday I drove by Düsseldorf, which is Germany’s most Weeaboo city, and they had this ugly fucking mural at their train station.

    I don’t mind most anime/manga based media, but media about anime/manga makes me really uncomfortable. Defining yourself by the fact you like Anime is just a lot weirder than defining yourself by the fact you like JJBA or InitalD.

    Does anybody dislike anime and manga?

    No, everybody in the world likes anime and manga. Or they’re indifferent to it at worst.

      OP has been in a lengthy struggle with the world over media. They swore off manga previously due to “christian morals” and the fact that Zombieland Saga contained zombies, then got back into it because of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, and now it seems they’ve hit another block within the last month.

      And it’s not just manga. They’ve also had an issue with Wikipedia.

      This feels like a post ripped straight from the new AI Reddit. Every other post on there is some dumb ass generic question, really irking me to see that starting to overflow here now

    Yes I despise it, I hate the influence it’s had on making everything over sexualized and cliched

      Not really. I find horror movies boring because the characters always do dumb shit to get in trouble.

      If you don’t like something, you don’t miss anything.

      The only animes I watched till the end are Full Metal Alchemist and Shaman King, because they have a good length.

      I liked JoJo Bizzare Adventures at first, but it got long and boring after a season and a half.

      I tried to watch a lot of popular anime, but I can’t stand fillers, which 99% of anime have.

    Used to love anime but now that I’m older I dislike it. Still love reading manga, just hate the high pitch annoying ass voice for every female character. A few anime’s don’t do it and those ones I still love

      I’m an artist and I used to draw a lot as a kid. I naturally adore the medium, but most anime is weeb/otaku fanfare and I find obnoxious. I keep a look out for the gems that occasionally come around.

    Not inherently but I hate most anime tropes. Most anime are also very childish or straight up nonsensically bullshit, just “too out there” if you know what I mean. There’s the odd decent one though, and the rare gem, but I can’t really be arsed to wade through the absolute pile of garbage first to even find them.

      Im with you on this. I don’t dislike anime/manga as a medium. However, there is a tendancy for the format to exaggerate things I find annoying. That and the fan culture, much like many other highly dedicated fanbases, can be a major turn-off as well.

    Nope. Just the over-indulging fans.

    I don’t identify myself as an Otaku and I’m not going to.

    I find that there is far too much of it in my Lemmy feed. I have a very long list of blocked communities which I have blocked, tediously, one at a time as they appeared. Obviously a lot of people like it, but it’s not for me.

    I wish there was a setting similar to the one that blocks NSFW content, but for anime and manga.
