I was going through some of my old stuff this weekend and I found my bootleg boxed DVD set of Trigun and I picked it up like a dead bug and tossed it into a box with a revolted look on my face. Then I cried a little while because I miss Wolfwood so bad.
Then I gorilla glued the box shut and put it in the attic
I've tried to watch several series that have been recommended to me
and sometimes I'll stomach some of the cliches / chaff and sort of get into the story or characters
and then I'll reach a point in the series where the show says "LOL SEXUALIZED LOLI!" and I'm like
NOPE
NOPE
NOPE.
I see anime as like
if you took all the dumb cliches of old 90's videogames and the sort of weird groupthink and just turned that into a genre, almost entirely lacking self-awareness and devoted entirely to its own stereotypes and embracing them as a kind of comfort
and that makes me really glad that, despite the drama it can cause, the gaming industry is going through a painful and awkward and necessary revision and re-examining its underlying tropes and biases and stereotypes
sort of a "there but for the grace of God go we"
the first anime series i ever watched was cowboy bebop, back in like 2001 maybe
and i thought it was really cool! it was like nothing i'd ever seen - stylish and fresh and the music was good and the characters were surprisingly appealing and wow!
i thought "i must like anime! i must be an anime fan!"
and then i watched other anime and other anime and still more anime and was like
nope.
the rest of it just isn't any good
and then i met some other kids that were really into anime fandom and was like
hey that kid is wearing blue-tinted swim goggles on his forehead just like, around town.
maybe this isn't for me at all.

cowboy bebop

look all i'm saying is that we might want to rethink the ban on anime threads
man fuck people who express the things they like to others in public, the nerve
you're supposed to be a bitter emotionless bundle of conformity like me who derives nothing from day to day existence
i definitely have this issue
i guess i want so strongly not to be typified or pigeonholed that i try and not really associate with anything: guns, jiu jitsu, running, video games, fashion
everything has its negative connotation and i don't want some theoretical funeral for me to be 'john chu: in total, a man who loved outkast, blowjobs, and sichuan food'
it is a p stifling, world-is-closing-in-on-me feeling, that i am reducible to certain things
so i guess i only really want to show off or advertise those interests of mine which are sort of sterile and mature and hard to use as ammunition for typification of my character
nobody I work with even knows I play video games and its like a huge part of my life, I'm afraid to even talk about movies because if I let on that I thought Frozen and Lego Movie are two of the best movies of the last year they might think I'm childish or a pedophile or something
so I just pretend to like the packers and alcoholism and other stuff adults in wisconsin are supposed to like
like i don't even wanna be the packers guy or the alcoholism guy
i guess in my ideal world i know a lot about everything, i can talk intelligently on a given topic
but i'm so stingy with my interest, focus, and passion that i'm not 'given' to any one thing and no one thinks of me as the ____ guy
no posters, no stickers, no fandom, no attending concerts, no going to sporting events
because i can't like a certain thing, i must be aloof for fear of social compartmentalization
it is horrifying
Now you're surface interest guy. I knew that guy, he wasn't really ever into any stuff. That was sort of his thing, you know?

There are some anime I enjoy (Bebop, Attack on Titan, both have flaws but I still enjoyed em)
but overall any anime I've tried to watch inevitably has some really weird and creepy expression of implied sexuality
and I've found very few shows that have enough quality to merit tolerating their baggage.
That's been the dealbreaker for me, at least lately
I can tolerate other things as necessary to the form (monologues due to budget constraints, etc.), and I try not to poop on anime too hard because I see many of its flaws mirrored in other forms of entertainment
but once a series has anything loli in it that's just my NOPE point

I get the fear, and this'll sound like a platitude or something, but the people who would reduce you to those things don't matter.
Either because they are assholes who reduce people down to things like that on a regular basis, or they don't know you well enough to form a more solid idea of you anyway, in which case they are not close to you, in which case their opinion of you is irrelevant.

I am not hateful of poisonous subcultures because I am above them.

I don't look back on my life and feel completely ashamed. Oh there are moments of soul crushing shame, but mostly I am proud of myself for having grown out of it.
It's not anime, it's not pc's, or MLP, or any one goddamned thing. It's the poisonous miasma. The stifling lack of self growth, that tends to accompany this fandom.

Attack on Titan: Suffers from weird emotional beats (exaggeration of facial expressions/reactions is an annoying anime trope), uneven pacing (STAHP FLASHBACKING AT CLIMACTIC MOMENTS), and ridiculously long monologues (as I mentioned in the thread shut up and do the thing)
But it is still a good show. And not for the genre of anime--just a good, entertaining show.
maybe i should just give in and watch the show. i hated the manga but everyone says the show is good...
Don't fall for it man. It's trap! It's starts promising and then slaps you in the face with ANIMUUUUU
Also if you didn't like the manga I really doubt you'll like the show.
It doesn't have anything special going on beyond the story that won't be hugely different from the manga.

But not one of those breeds that people make into a big thing
mostly i think it's bad because like was said it's game over once you maintain sustainability and then the only interesting choice you're faced with is "do i expand and risk upsetting the delicate balance, or maybe a disaster at an inopportune time, or do i not do that, and contentedly trim the bonsai tree that is my little burg'
also it makes you wait too long for citizens to grow up and junk and there's no mystery about what is the best way to do buildings so all i'm really doing is plopping down stuff and waiting for new children to come in while hoping a sequence of disasters don't murk me
i guess it's really good if you liked the new sim city
yeah all of this is true but i fail to see how that is bad if what you want is to trim your bonsai.
like, what do you get from the other stuff you play that you dont here?
i wasn't paying attention and i think i must have left the edit box open when i quoted something else and then out of habit i deleted the rest of the post that wasn't what i wanted to quote because i assumed it was some draft shenanigans
anyway out of other games it's mostly more interesting choices to me and yeah, more content. like, as long as you play conservatively, i'm not sure there's any real decisions to be made in sculpting your town because the needs of your people follow a very definite hierarchy (food/warmth->health->happiness->education (to squeeze more out of the citizens you have). you can either mix it up by having outside forces to compete with, ala dwarf fortress/gnomoria, where you not only have to juggle your people's survival against nature but weigh that against preparing defenses against attacks. or even something more peaceful like in anno where even in modes where combat is disabled, resting on your laurels cedes land, resources, and strategic positioning to your opponents
mostly what i miss are those agonizing decisions where you only have a few resources and you need to decide how to allocate them
maybe my seed was too good or something. i got to about 80 citizens, my last scare came hours ago when i let in some nomads without realizing how many resources they would consume, a lesson quickly learned, and it's been pretty peaceful ever since. i do like how rickety the act of expanding always seems to be, but it takes soooo long for citizens to come of age that i just got bored.
You could be anywhere

People seem to think that expressing stuff you like is some kind of sacred right, but that expressing stuff you don't like is petty and nasty.
Have some damn courage of your convictions. If you think anime is cool, fine. I might look down my elitist nose at you. If you can't live with that it honestly says more about you than me. (I'm actually OK with anime, its just not for me. But to use the example that's being tossed around). If you want to be an individual, be a fucking individual. Part of that is people disagreeing with you.
