18 Things Anime Fans Judge Each Other For But Really Shouldn't
1. How you watch anime
"She only watches dubbed anime? Must be an illiterate pleb, ugh."
"He only watches subbed anime? Must be an elitest weeabo, ugh."
2. Your physical collection size
"Can you believe this guy only has one anime DVD, and it's Appleseed of all things!"
3. How many figures you own
"Can you believe this only cost me $250 before shipping fees kicked in? How come you don't buy one?"
4. Your lack of cosplay game
"You see Ivan, in order to love anime, one must become anime."
Cosplay isn't for everybody.
5. Not reading the manga
"Like Parasyte -the maxim-? Just wait until [spoiler] happens!"
6. Liking the harem genre
Sorry for liking perverted humor, I won't make that mistake again.
7. Waifu/Husbando
"You have a waifu? Hey everyone, let's point and laugh at this weeabo!"
"You don't have a husbando? Hey everyone, let's point and laugh at this casual!"
8. When you watch anime
"Real anime fans simulcast, it's the only way to go."
"Real anime fans marathon, that's how the story was meant to be enjoyed."
How about we just watch anime?
9. Not watching the classics
"Your opinion is invalid until you watch Neon Genesis Evangelion. Until then, you don't talk."
The Rebuild movies don't count!
10. Having a negative opinion on the classics
"Omg, how can you hate Neon Genesis Evangelion!? 2 deep 4 u?"
11. Addressing characters with honorifics
"It's Chiyo-chan, say it with me. That's how it is in the show"
"You don't have to include -kun since he ain't real."
12. How many conventions you've been to
"Obviously your life sucks for not going to Anime Revolution every year, you non-fan!"
13. Your anime music library
"How can you listen to music in a language you don't understand?"
"How can you call yourself a K-On fan when you don't have the soundtrack?"
14. Eating Japanese food based on anime appearance
"You're only eating that because you watched the latest Koufuku Graffiti."
15. Learning Japanese on Rosetta Stone
"Look at the weeabo learning Japanese on Rosetta Stone, it's only because he wants to watch anime raw."
Sorry for being interested in a learning a language because my hobby introduced it to me.
16. Your taste in anime
"You liked Rio Rainbow Gate!? Shit taste confirmed."
"You like mainstream Bleach? Shit taste confirmed."
Let's face it, we all have shit taste.
17. Number of times you've been to Japan
Because only true anime fans have been to Akihabara, I mean, Japan. Same thing, right?
18. Done any of these to a fellow fan?
