no matter what you do , ignorant people stay ignorant, just let them be. I used to be pissed at ignorant people who thought animes were low form of art....but then I realized it cant be help ,cuz everything exists for a reason. We need ignorant people to showcase our knowledge, we need stupid people to prominence our wisdom.... Hope this is not too offensive...but thats what I think....

I'm beginning to somewhat lean towards this mentality also...

A lot of people are saying that they don't like it when people say anime is childish, but I don't really think that's the problem. Some anime is childish, and is intended to be. The problem is that lots of people think that all anime is childish or the same thing as American cartoons. Although, I convined a few friends of mine that some anime is a lot like The Simpsons: animated, but still funny and mature.

That said, some people won't like anime, and that is that. A lot of otaku (I do consider myself one, by the way ~ !) are very personally offended when someone says they don't like anime. And while it is true that most of the people who say that don't know a thing about anime, it can really scare them off if you go off into a rant about how anime is underappreciated and how that person is just ignorant. Hey, there's some things I don't like, too ~ !

This one time a friend of my was showing me what she bought her 5 year old son for his birthday. It was a Dvd vol1 of Fullmetal Alchemist. I almost died. I told her not to give it to him that he wouldn't understand it and he would probably have nightmares but she bruched me off saying it was ONLY a cartoon. Humph!!!! I was right the poor kid had to sleep in her bed for 3 day because he kept thinking his leg was going to fall off. ONLY A CARTOON. It drives me nuts when people say that.

score! haha. serves her right.

that's typical... it's like me...nobody around who knows only the WORDS anime or manga:(
but, although one of my friends hates manga/anime,she buys me mangas,animes or artbooks for christmas or my birthday and when i'm at hers, i may watch animes on youtube etc :pandahurray: ( my internet is MUCH too slow for that)
and i think i'm lucky having a friend like that... there are too less people like her around us

Well I used to get mad at this stuff too. My friends used to tease me about watching cartoons and I used to fret and fume about it until I found out that the people who were saying those things only knew cartoons like "Tom and Jerry" and the age old ones.

They had no clue what anime was about. So I then convinced them into seeing an episode of deathnote and Poof! the jokes all vanished. I must admit they still didn't take to it because they were a little too ignorant but atleast they had to admit it wasn't lame and was totally bad ass! :cool:

Eventually, I agree with the verdict, Ignorant people will rant the loudest about stuff they don't know. The ones who really know about anime are those that don't blaspheme about it. Most people I know that know about anime really like it. :vsign:

I should also state that I don't think it has anything to do with Asia or Japan in particular. People I've met don't like cartoons because they fell it's childish, not because it's made in the Asian continent. But then again that probably doesn't count for much because the people I've met are Asian and the wouldn't discriminate anime for being of Asian origin too. ^^
