Another Wank for Anime!
Well, I was reading the latest wankery when I came upon the post of anime bashing. And I thought to myself, "Now where have I seen something like this before?" That's when I was reminded of another such statement of hatred towards anime. Thus I submit the following for your entertainment. AAAARRRRGH!!! I am sick and tired of this stupid phenomema everybody calles Anime. I have nothing aginst Japan execpt this.

And from there it just gets so much worse. Note: this thread is a tad old. But the wankery was just too good to pass up.

Alas, my poor DBZ! Why must they hate you so? Sure it should have ended long before Buu, but that doesn't mean it had no redeeming qualities. It ran for ten years and for a while was one of the most popular anime on the planet *_*.

Not that I'm one of those people that think it's the greatest thing ever. I just don't think it's the worst.

Oh, and I adore your Legato icon. *droooool*

Legato is full of psycho goodness. Anyone willing to go that far to drive someone else crazy...well, you just have to respect him.

re: icon. again.

And now I finally get the reference, too! (I don't think I've seen it since I finished the series.)

And now my brain is doing Bad Things with the thought, so I have to go away now.

[Not that I'm one of those people that think it's the greatest thing ever. I just don't think it's the worst.]

I feel the same.

I agree that the series probably should've ended long before it did, [poor Toriyama, I think he originally wanted to end the series after Freeza but the fans wanted more] but it still had it's moments. No series is perfect.

I think we need to start a collection to buy these folks some ladders which they can use to Get Over It.

He definitely wanted it to end before Buu. But he stood his ground when it came to GT. That is why GT sucked balls.

Sure it is! Otherwise how would you bash an entire [group of people/genre of music/fandom/medium/region/country/race/gender/species] and make yourself look all edgy and daring and Better Than You?

I love how people agree "Yeah, anime is all crap! Except I like [title title title.]" Uh... what?

And the false dichotomy between Western animation and anime rears its ugly head once again. Pssh. People, you know, you CAN like both. They aren't going to take away your nerd license.

The only thing that pisses me off more than Western Animation vs. Anime is Western Comics vs. Manga.

Admittance: The American comics industry is sort-of sucking lately. But we've got some GREAT Western Comics. And...yeah.

(Cards on the table: I write Kinkos-published comics, and want to write comics for something-of-a-living when I get older.)

I know. It still pisses me off that if I'm reading American comics, I'm somehow more stupid than if I'm reading one of my manga. And the fact that I can't find anyone that knows about Alan Moore or Neil Gaiman that didn't learn from my circulating my comic books. >_<;;;; Plenty of people know who Rumiko Takahashi or Akira Toriyama are, though. I need to get out of this goddamn little hick town.

Damn right. MAUS got me back into comics as a teenager. And then a friend of mine told me about Strangers in Paradise, and I started noticing a wonderful little bundle of funny anger in the morning papers called Boondocks, and... yeah.

Go comics! From any country!

I'm also annoyed by the people who think the stuff that's coming out is new. We still haven't gotten things published back in the '90s; we're certainly not up to date on what the Japanese are producing.

I'm also bugged by people who hate something just because it popular.

To be fair lots of things that are popular can and do suck, [glares at the new Cheaper by the Dozen movie], but I dislike the idea that I'm somehow less of person because I listen to bands I've heard on the radio, or because I read series like Inu-Yasha and Magic Knight Rayearth.

Ditto. Yeah, I know it'd be crazy to not assume I'm liking something popular because I actually uh... just like it? I'm so socially out of it that I really don't know what's "in" and what's "out" anyway, especially with music. I'll never understand why people are so concerned about what other people like anyway. o_o

*folds hands and readies overhead projector for The Speech*

These people have weak egos and need to make themselves feel Special by applying treehouse logic to their entertainment choices - they're better than everybody else, see, because THEY know about this band or movie or show or whatever, and YOU don't. It's like an exclusive club! Yeah! And of course that means it's automatically better, and they can feel all nice and warmfuzzy and Special.

They are idiots.

Disclaimer: this does not apply to everyone who simply likes obscure things, just those who think that popularity automatically makes something stupid, or think exposure automatically "ruins" a band/show/whatever, or think that liking something obscure makes them better human beings.

I'm done. Wow, that was a pretty short version that time.

If you think this thread is bad, you should see the rest of the board. I don't think they can talk about anything without wanking each other to pieces. Of course, it doesn't help that their admin is MIA for the most part.
The best thread of all was pointed out to me by a friend on *my* SF board. Started by a guy/idiot named Spree who basically goes on to say that he doesn't like Einstein's theory of relativity because it doesn't work. *snorts* Not fandom, but still very wanky.
