Somehow an account with them was made using my info (email). I never signed up for that as I am not a fan of anime at all. Like, not even a little bit!
I would never have made an account with them.
So I signed in using the forgot password option, and thought I removed/deleted this account- but for months, I kept getting tons of spam from them. Like several a day. Turns out- they never deactivated or removed my account. It was still active!
I had to threaten to sue them to get them to delete my account.
So I’m glad to see them getting what they deserve. They’re shady as hell.
The denying of liking anime seems so severe like explaining your wife “I would never make gay pornsite account, I’m not fan at all. Like not even a little bit!!”
From my own experience, it’s probably intended to forestall the inevitable “Oh but have you tried…?” “I don’t like Anime either, but … was great!” or any other variant of “surely there must be some anime you like”. Some Anime fans seem to struggle with accepting that their favorite medium just isn’t for everyone, no matter how broad and diverse they think the range is.
Trust me when I say, I can’t stand it. If you knew me, you’d know that’s the last thing I’d have anything to do with. The emphasis was to explain that I was signed up for something that is diametrically in opposition of my interests.
I have my opinions on it and reserve them to myself so as not to disrespect those that like it.
Anime is just the Japanese word for animation. Anime isn’t a genre, it’s an entire medium in a specific country. By some definitions, an entire continent. Drag can’t think of any good reason to dislike animation but only when Asians do it.
Obviously, but there are things that are pretty uniquely anime not as present in other media and if someone dislikes those then that’s why they might dislike anime but not all animation.
I think the problem is you’re saying you don’t like anime, as a global singular thing. I might not like most sandwiches if I don’t like white bread, but some sandwiches are made using different bread, so I don’t universally dislike sandwiches. I dislike the ones I’ve tried. (I don’t dislike sandwiches. This is a hypothetical.)
Personally, I don’t think anyone should ever say they dislike a group of things, especially if they have little experience with it like I assume you do with anime. You can dislike what you’ve experienced, but you probably should not try to apply that experience to everything or assume you know more than what you’ve experienced. It needlessly limits your experiences and it makes it more of a personality trait, which you’re unlikely to challenge, which you may think sounds cool but it isn’t a good thing.
Edit: I’m also not saying you need to watch anime. I choose to not do many things because I don’t expect to like it. I tend to not assume a won’t just because of preconceived ideas though. I just don’t bother with it, and I don’t need to be adamant that I don’t like it.
If you can find an anime that is entirely unlike all the mainstream anime, do let me know. I’m trying to pin down the exact element it is that I don’t like, and so far it seems to be the exaggerated expression of emotion and actions, but maybe you have a counterpoint.
The Emoji movie is uniquely American, but if someone refuses to watch Saving Private Ryan because it’s from the same country as Emoji movie, then they’re a big silly.
That’s a bizarre comparison. It’s more like someone saying they don’t want to watch Saving Private Ryan because they don’t like movies. Even then, many people who “don’t like anime” might like an anime or two out of many they’ve tried. Like if someone hates all ice creams except they sort of like mint chocolate chip, then saying “I don’t like ice cream” is okay to say.

Or it’s just an emphasis on how unlikely they inadvertently signed up that account / forgot

Hope this helps.

There are absolutely a ton of tropes very unique to Japanese animation but not necessarily other country’s animation.
Not every anime has those tropes. Just like not every American movie uses deutsch angles or lens flares.

I didn’t say that, someone else did.

They are fairly prevalent in Afghanistanimation.
