I feel bad for being slightly offended by this comic (even though I only like a handful of anime shows). Although, I'm also not entirely convinced that the cosplayer in this comic isn't Gabe. He definitely watches kids' shows.
The comic is quite clearly about their opinion on certain types of anime/cosplay.
I don't think this comic is really about their opinions. I think they're just making a joke at the expense of... maybe people that watch shows designed for kids? Or more specifically, people that watch shows designed for kids and like to have gay-pride about it.
This doesn't mean they actually have a strong opinion about those people. They're making a joke. For laughs.
maybe. I've been known to enjoy the odd girly animes and other shows, but I'm not terribly miffed at this. I do wonder if the news post will elaborate on it much, though.

I made this account to give my opinion on this comic, I know how opinions work on the internet so brace yourself for this.
This comic is about bronies.
It's... Probably not? I mean, Gabe and Tycho don't really beat around the bush with this kind of thing. The comic is quite clearly about their opinion on certain types of anime/cosplay.
I think your comment says more about you than G&T.
i support this comics deprecation of the unwholesome and basically worthless form of "entertainment" known as anime
That's like saying movies are not a relevant art form because trash like Battleship, Transformers 2 and Twilight simply exist.
Not to mention that 2 of the most consistently popular (to this day) series of this medium are Evangelion and Gundam, especially with Rebuild 3.33 coming out soon.
You guys think magical girls shows and UGUU~ nonsense are the only type of show there is? Unbelievable.
And Gabe's whole argument seems to be:
I don't like it, so Anime = pedophilia.
Just like Video Games = school shootings, right?
Amazing ignorance and double standards, I feel sick.
I liked PA when they did satire on topics that it had a clue on, like video games.
so you're one of the pedophiles this comic is talking about i guess

I know it's supposed to be; but the fact you can't be absolutely immediately certain just by looking allows me to imagine the possibility that this is just some entirely random person accosting Jerry at the booth about his/her cosplay, and Jerry is being a dick to him/her in response, and that vision of the comic is much funnier to me.
I don't see it. That doesn't look like gabe to me.
Am I the only person speculating that this comic might just be an evil plot to send readers on a wild goose chase due to a reference to a piece of culture that simply does not exist?
The closest thing I found was the kids show "Adventure time", which has a Princess Bubblegum character, but as far as I can tell no wizard school, Yummy-Chan or paedophilia appeal.
There's totally a wizard school in this one episode.

Yeah this comic pretty much falls flat... the message I got was "If you watch anime you're a pedophile" I don't know what their intention was, but thats what it told me. And last I checked I'm not a pedophile.
I see it, but I don't think they had that intention.
I mean, I took the joke as "why would a grown man be watching a (potentially obscure) cartoon blatantly directed to young children," which isn't a bad joke.
Yeah just process it a second, imagine hundreds of Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy cosplayers coming up to you for days asking you if you watch a TV show aimed at little girls to sell toys. Boom, pedophile joke to vent your rage.
She even has ears, gumballs, Princesses and Magic, I like to think I'm right about this.

I came for the comics. I stayed for the offended loli-fan outrage.
This ranks up there with the ones running to the defense of that TERA MMO with the sexualized loli race where they actually had to remove some of the 'clothing' items for the western market.
'They have animal ears! It's not even a child because it's not human!'
Man, I just thought this one was bad, and bad in a really obvious way that you don't normally see PA strips falling into. What's the actual joke, here? Anime is for pedophiles? Tycho (Jerry?) is Alpha Nerding about stuff? Comic conventions are weird? At best the joke seems unfunny or at least uninspired. At worst there's nothing here but an insult to people that have a different definition of 'fun' than is normal, and as nerds you would think we would want to make a habit of being a little more tolerant than this.
Mike and Jerry do in fact watch anime. Shocking. The joke is shows like that are either for kids or people who want to do horrible things to kids( which is disturbingly accurate given the state of anime today). It's not knocking cosplay.

Either you're unfamiliar with cosplay, anime, or you're the butt of the joke.

Also my mind went straight to this.
Lets hope your degree isn't from Gumball Princess School, heard it's just a bunch of eight ... teen year old girls.
maybe. I've been known to enjoy the odd girly animes and other shows, but I'm not terribly miffed at this. I do wonder if the news post will elaborate on it much, though.
Don't rise to it. We have mods for a reason.
Mike and Jerry have a sixth sense about when I have stuff to do that day.
I think it's joy.
Probably.
dude, he was basically just trolling for someone to take offense, and you did. That was pretty much his entire gameplan.
I don't think this comic is really about their opinions. I think they're just making a joke at the expense of... maybe people that watch shows designed for kids? Or more specifically, people that watch shows designed for kids and like to have gay-pride about it.

So you were "pretending to be retarded" and now trying to save face now that logic is brought in?
Oh my, that's some mean backpedaling, it's like I'm on Reddit. Keep it up.

He's a visionary in many important ways
This guy gets it.
That makes everything ok.
thank you for taking the bait
I'll be voting for Dr. Bunsen Honeydew. And if he does it, I'll supply sharpened bananas and a slingshot to be used on cosplayers.
Actually it looks like that's a DSi XL. Obviously he's waiting for 8/19.
You think Gabe thinks magical girls shows and UGUU~ nonsense are the only type of show there is? Unbelievable.
Exquisite...
And I'm out.
I don't see it. That doesn't look like gabe to me.
You know, when I saw this earlier I shrugged thinking, "Heh, we won't get any of that." Boy was I wrong.
There's totally a wizard school in this one episode.

Link. Watching people do mental backflips to defend this stuff is always a source of infinite entertainment to me.

Delicious.
you should see the post over on r/anime on reddit. So many pitchforks
1 Post better register to be offended
oh now it makes sense, trolling at its finest.
This is obviously sarcasm.
This. So much this. I do hope this stirs up a nest of rabid loli lovers. The nerd rage will be exquisite.
YES. :^:

Also That is 100% gabe.
Either you're unfamiliar with cosplay, anime, or you're the butt of the joke.
If on the internet you struggle to decipher whether a poster is clever or a fucking retard, it's probably most accurate to assume the latter.
lolwut?
