When you tell the average mf in 2009 that you watch anime

  If you do it now, there’s a good chance they will look at you the same way. “Cartoons are for kids, why is a grown up watching them?” They say, as they wear their football team’s scarf and paint their face with its colours to watch 22 people running behind a ball on TV and yell at them as if they were the coach in the bench.

    I’m still leary of most anime fans, and cartoons are hands down my favourite thing to watch.

    So much anime is seriously misogynistic and creepy about how it depicts women and girls and I’ve met far too many people who like that shit and see nothing wrong with it.

    There’s obviously a lot of anime (more so now) that doesn’t do this, but there’s plenty more that does but only a little bit and only because it’s a ‘trope’ and a ‘cultural thing’, and you just need to ignore it as the rest of the story is really good.

    Don’t forget taking about the team as though they are a part of it and not just an invested spectator

    I feel like every young person I know watches anime or is at least familiar enough with it to not be judgmental, and I work with a lot of youngins.

  Meanwhile, this week in a 1-to-1 with my manager, I was wearing a One Piece t-shirt and he closed the meeting by letting me know he’s up to speed with the manga.

    30% of my class watches anime. And they’re all way too right wing for my standards.

    I find anime extremely boring.
