If you guys know it sucks, why do you keep watching it then?

Saying "yeah, it's fucking stupid and gay," but I still like it regardless" doesn't make you intelligent and self-aware; it makes you disingenuous and hypocritical.
>>
it's generally pure escapism that's generally enjoyed by autists

autists and the things that they enjoy are generally despised by most normals because of the pack-like nature of most societies where the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. there's also a lot of youth sexualization (albeit, of fictional characters) which is another non-normal friendly thing. this is also why it's considered more acceptable to watch anime when you're a teenager (predictable plotlines, escapism, the characters sexualized are still the same age as you) but not when you're an adult and why, aside from not wanting to associate yourself with the 'average anime fan', (ie, an autist) you eventually have to end up hiding most of your powerlevel the older you get.

You could ask the same for western TV/films. 90% of them suck (just like with anime before anyone assumes I'm some blind weeb), but people still watch them.

You mean like mature anime for mature anime connoisseurs such as yourself?

Shinkai and Miyazaki are both hack writers. Anime is about cute little girls, and should be watched by cute little girls. You wouldn't understand, baka senpai.

Because it triggers normalfags who only mindlessly enjoy things deemed "socially acceptable" by other normalfags
You can have intense violence, rape, incest and pedophilia in something like game of thrones and normies eat it up because the jew media tells them it's okay, but if any of that happens in anime it's sick and disgusting.
Most people basically can't think for themselves.
>>
>>136267827
But it's actually quite trendy to like anime. Not airing anime, but 80's/90's anime is pretty aesthetic and artsy so it's OK to like it, as long as you're already pretty cool.

This isn't true at all. I know plenty of people who flat out hate anime itself.
For bullshit reasons like "their voices are annoying" or "I don't like reading subtitles" or "all the women are hyper-sexualized."
A lot of people see anime and have an extremely negative response to it, regardless of the fans.

It's simple anon.
There's no political parties backing anime like there is in American TV shows, which you would typically find some conservative or liberal messages, in anime there's none or very little of that so the natural thing to do would be to hate it.
>>
>>136271634
So if they hate subtitles, why don't they just cut out the middleman and learn Japanese?

Xenophobia. Normalfags hate that which is alien to them, especially when it cuts across international boundaries.

Ultranationalists and tumblrtards alike can join together in being suspicious about fiction that gives zero fucks about their pet outrages, or fan communities which bring people together from all over the world. They're equally butthurt that there are people who prefer foreign products to those of America and Europe.

Because they're only exposed to awful anime, which doesn't help with the already existing stigma of watching cartoons (especially Japanese ones) at an adult age.
>>
For some reason in America they have a stereotype of anime that is literally completely made up just so they can mock it. You can see it in stuff like GTA or South Park all the time, "big tits magical girl gets perved on by creepy old guy and raped by tentacles while big spikey haired muscley guy flies around shooting laser beams". As if there's any anime that's remotely like that, let alone those being themes common to the majority of shows. Inventing something just to make fun of it is the most retarded thing I can think of.
>>
Normalfag's primary contact with anime is.. in Youporn and such website.
Because of this they just can't think of anything else than porn when seeing anime. They then proceed to bitch about the sexualization, when it's really nothing compard to murrican TV show at all.

Incredibly ironic
>>
You can only use sex to advertise burgers, Cars, Alcohol, and body sprays.
That's how we do it in murrica.
>>
>>136267827
That passed some time ago, I don't remember the last time I met someone in my age bracket that hadn't seen at least a couple of series even if that was the most basic shit.
I'd say it's no longer despised, more that people aren't willing to get into it.
Like how Comic Books are accepted now, regular people understand they exist and gobble up regular servings of poor quality films based on them, but won't actually buy more Comic books themselves.

There is a political push against anime in the west because it sexualizes girls that western entertainment don't dare to do. The push comes both from the left and right.

>irritating american voice over starts

Closed immediately. That typical young male american voice which does these voice over talking-at-you videos is worse to the ears than the shrill pitched moe moe anime girl voice that is one aspect of anime that they complain about as being irritating.

because it all garbage nowadays, escapism as many people say. not real art. brave new world. all emotion and no substance just to keep people happy in shitty high school level fantasy world
