After reading the last post, I get the feeling that I am thinking of a slightly different scenario. I don`t think I have ever mocked or been hostile toward anyone for liking anime, being a fanboy/girl, etc.
I likely have been if they tried to tell me I was wrong and they were right, thanks to knowledge they gained through anime/manga/etc.

In general though, people who go over the top with anything are frustrating and annoying - particularly when this gets in the way of reality. It tends to be these types who get the worst shock in the end when they do come face to face with the real world.
