OP, is your absolute zeal to be the biggest re-poster and cross-poster on Lemmy you have re-posted this comic even though the original poster posted it in this same community one hour before you:
Mb, I usually check via the cross-posting menu before cross-posting content, in this case it looks like they posted it as a fresh post instead of self-crosspost and it didn’t register as a crosspost
I would delete, but there are already a couple comment threads here going, so I’ll leave it to a mod to decide
I, as a general statement, don’t like anime. I get this all the time from my friends who do, while they constantly try to convince me that the one they love is different and if I just try it I’ll love it.
Can you describe why? I think there are lots of different reasons to not like anime. The sexism in both directions, the cliche tropes, the sexualisation of minors, the artstyle, casual sexualized violence, etc.
I personally dont mind the artstyle but the other things make it so my choices are pretty limited.
All of those are definitely contributing factors, especially the sexualization (both of minors and adults), and the fan service in general. I also just don’t typically enjoy the types of stories they’re telling, and I have a difficult time articulating why in a general way. Obviously there’s a wide range of anime and there have been a few that I’ve enjoyed. Studio Ghibli’s productions have generally been very enjoyable, for example, but I’d estimate that’s only maybe 5% of the ones I’ve tried, and it’s easier to just say “I don’t like anime” than to try to explain to someone why I enjoy a very select few and dislike the vast majority, especially when people who really like anime are usually pretty rabid in their defense of it. I’m not interested in hearing for the hundredth time how Death Note gets really good if I’ll just get through the first 40 episodes, or how Full Metal Alchemist is “not like other anime” and I’ll definitely love it if I give it a chance.
This applies to all new nu-trek star trek
Happened to me when I got a press sneak preview of Duke Nukem Forever. I reported that the game was garbage and the devs seemed oddly proud of not throwing out assets that were 14 years old.
“You don’t know! You didn’t play the whole thing!”
Yeah, you’re right, I played what the marketing team WANTED me to see and it was trash tier, you think the stuff they DIDN’T want me to see was better?
End result?
