Oh! My! God! We must stop this anime madness! Look what it has done to these 3 females! The disease cannot be allowed to cross gender lines and turn our female population into merchandise collecting freaks!

I call the already diseased male population to do whatever is necessary to save our remaining womenfolk!

Sorry ain't helping ya :)

I'm all for gender equality, even if it means letting girls enjoy sitting half naked wanking in their own way to their own form of anime indulgence :)

I vote more anime fanservice for girls :)

Haha... It's utter bull to me, I already stated my opinion on another forum, but I guess I should say again here.

He's basically saying every anime fan is a pervert, then again, Pokemon and DBZ and all that are also animes. So he's saying that little kids are perverts?

Saying all anime fans are perverts, is like saying all blacks do drugs. It's racism, but a more proper word would be discrimination.

It's as simple as that, discrimination. That's what it is, nothing more, nothing less.

Actually, most calm, level-headed studies on the subject find dozens of people in Akiba right off the bat that are willing to admit to such "life choices" and put it clearly in their own words that they do prefer images and figures to real human contact - sexual or otherwise. In the U.S. we find that suggestion insulting, but real otaku embrace that level of weirdness.

Why would you find it "insulting".

I myself would be inclined to prefer using terms like "odd" "tragic" or "unfortunate", but certainly not insulting.

As for the idea that all anime fans regardless of variation must be perverted, well I don occasionally encounter opinions that are easily best described as "unworthy of serious consideration".

Heh. My friend linked this to me yesterday; I nerd raged hard. Then I laughed when I saw the article score at the bottom.

Well, it is suggesting you have a good chance of having a diagnosable mental disorder... Which is less about how your peers perceive you and more about the opportunities afforded to you than you'd probably care to admit.

If you don't find it insulting, while they're calling you a retard.. You might as well submit.

Apparently, Otaku means Techno Geek, so I'm that sort of Otaku, not the ones nowadays where it's "Anime Addict" or something.

I do find it insulting, and since this has origins in America, I might as well say, "F*ck You, Dumbsh*ts". Sorry for the swearing, but it was one of the easiest ways of saying, "Look at your own cartoons and shows before looking at ours".

Vulgarity? Sexual References? Violence? Why... American movies have some of the most violence and sexual references in world maybe, and many of their comedies include vulgarity, such as South Park, Family Guy and occasionally Simpsons, and especially American Dad...
