How can we stop normies from ruining anime?
I keep seeing anime shit referenced by normalfaggots more and more often, usually ironically.
They even treat shit like boku no pico now as some sort of epic maymay like two girls one cup.
Why can't they fuck off and leave our hobbies alone?
It always been that way, normies always liked animes. It's not "our hobbies", anime are mainstream since the 80's (Pretty much since westerners started watching them)

You're kidding right? I guess those guys tape trading fan subs in the late 80s early 90s were complete normalfags right? Anime has always been a loser dork nerd thing whatever you want to call it. It didn't get popular in the west until toonami and even then it was still seen as a thing for kids. Most people grew out of it, then around the late 2000s early 2010s the "nostalgia" trend started and normalfags started referencing old toonami shows then with the rise of nerd culture becoming extremley popular normalfags started to pick up on otaku culture as well, most of this is thanks to shit like SAO and SnK as well as "meme culture"
I'm not saying anime has never been popular here until now because the late 90s early 2000s did have a boom here because of toonami, but back then it was popular to normalfag kids, most people back then who weren't kids that were into it aren't what i'd call normalfags.
>>28223739
Also keep in mind when I say seen as something for kids, i'm talking about the average normalfags opinions. i know in the 90s stuff like Akira and Ghost in the shell were praised by critics for being mature animation.
Enjoying anime is cultural appropriation. If you truly cared about your waifu you would not look at her.
Also it's a show. They enjoy it for the same reasons you do, except slightly more functional socially.
>>28223234
>Why can't they fuck off and leave our hobbies alone?
I guess they've had enough of the comic book shit so now they're coming to destroy another culture.
And the sad part about it is normalfags actually liked the MCU movies yet seem to only like anime ironically.
>How can we stop normies from ruining anime?
normalfags won't ruin anime, just the western culture, anime won't start pandering to western normalfags because they're not the ones who give them money. When normalfags start forking out the same amount of cash as hardcore otaku for their favorite shows then we will have a problem.
>>28223234
Normies only watch shitty shounen anime (OPM, SAO). They can't touch the inner sanctum of moe SOL.
>>28223234
doesnt even matter. normies (including SJW cunts) will never be able to invade the industry like they did comic books and video games.
We keep giving them shit to eat up. As long as they have some DBZ/Naruto/SAO-tier garbage to eat up then they'll leave good anime alone.
>>28224032
how is chino so perfect
>>28224153
>>28224134
While this is true, you can't tell me its not annoying and depressing that something you loved your whole life and got shot for by normalfags for liking is now liked by those same normalfags that gave you shit for it a few years ago. This whole nerd culture trend is truly cancer and ends to stop.
>>28224271
I want to tear up her rabbit hole.
>>28224293
>Shot
Meant shit of course.
>and ends to stop.
Meant needs to stop. Fuck i'm retarded today.
>>28223234
Normies all like old shit like Cowboy Bebop and Naruto.
Anime is the only medium that improves over time.
>>28224134
>>28224032
This
Anime is fine, just don't spread good anime and 4chan so the chinese cartoons will be okay
>>28224293
So, do you like SAO, Naruto and DBZ?
Since DBZ is Latino-core anyway but if you're animes went "shit" for normies then you must have the shittiest taste on all 4chan senpai
>>28224314
Isn't she supposed to be like 12?
Regardless, all the lewd art is making me seriously question my beliefs and convictions
>>28224394
I mean the culture as a whole. Also people itt are underestimating how far into anime most normalfags are into anime. When I see a normalfag on jewbook posting about how he loves Galko-chan and posting shit like this as well, it annoys the fuck out of me.
>>28224463
No normalfag is posting that shit. You're looking at a high functioning weeb.
>>28224463
Just let them live senpai
It's not like you know them IRL and they go full "kawaii desu nee!!!! IMM SUCH A YANDERE XDDDDDDDD9x10^99"
Also, if normies buy anime and manga that you love, don't you think there is a possibility that your favorite anime will get a new season?

This is now a nostalgia thread.

>Attack on titan, Sword art online, the list goes on..
>>28223234
normies make and watch anime
>>28224486
Seem pretty normie to me, they've all had relationships, I also see some stacys post stuff like that. Also have you ever been to a con? its complete normalfag central.
>>28224511
Western sales make no difference on the market, and even then most normalfags stream there shit on something like kissanime or legal streams that they think are helping out the industry but its not like crunchyroll or netflix or hulu.
>>28224561
>normies make
This is partially false, one of the biggest criticisms for modern anime is that the industry is too full of otaku with little interactions with real people.
>>28224463
why dont you mind your own business. youre like a fucking child.
>>28224629
What happend to /r9k/? Why are we defending nromalfags now.
Which one and why, robots?
>>28224540
>Watched for the first time
I really wonder how are these kind of people doing now
>>28224541
Heh
>>28224683
No we aren't
Some people don't wanna give a fuck about normals and that's the most robot thing to do
A real normie thinks about normies and what they do
A real robot never cares about normies and only cares about themselves or people really close
>>28224754I want to marry Argentina.I also like Germany, and RussiaAll of them are cool.
>>28224683
im just being logical. its stupid to get mad about people consuming media you dont own or have any control over.
plus who knows what op thinks is a nomrie since the term subjective.
>>28224754
>filename
This is actually really cute
Having amnesia a little bit but i pick second starting from left
>>28223234
Don't worry, most normies aren't autistic enough to actually like anime. Enjoy.
>>28224786
The only time i care about normalfags is when they try to invade a culture they don't belong in that I'm a part of. It happend with video games it happend with comic books and now its happening with anime.
I don't think it would be that big of a problem if normalfags didn't still act like they're better than you, like f a robot tried to talk to a normalfag psudou-nerd about anime, even if they shared the same taste they would still think that robot is a faggot and that hes a loser. Same with stacys all these good looking cosplay girls that are suddenly into anime fucking hate robots and losers, they still only want to associate with chad pseudo-nerd.
Also none of their love for it seems genuine they are just buying into the the new trend.
>>28224924
Oh
Ooooh got your point
Well, there are many, MANY animes that are somewhat liberal already, Anon
Every anime that features yuri, yaoi or has some homo in it, the creators are always liberal but less radical than western peoples
The only way that anime will get ruined is that all anime authors become full liberal and accept homos, racemixing (like hafus in anime) etc.
The risk is minimal, but the only way anime can be ruined is not by westerners but the Japanese themselves
>>28224447
Chino is so cool and so is Renge. I love them both.
I wish I had more Renge art, my Chino folder is decently packed but my Renge folder is severely lacking.
>>28224754
from left = 1 and right = 9
7>6>1>5>4>8>3>2>9
Just solely based on fuckability
>>28225068
Those anime aren't really liberal though, they're done specifically to pander to certain fetishes not to shoehorn it in to push a political agenda like most western tv shows and movies.
Also that wasn't my point since I highly doubt the west will have any impact on the way its made. The only thing i'm mad about is I don't like seeing a medium I love become just a thing people pretend to like to be cool. Anime has become just another way to get laid for chads they go to cons and hit on on the cosplayers and then go back for some degenerate cosplay orgy. And when they meet a genuine fan hes still a creep to them like he was back before it was cool to say you like anime. Call me a hipster but I just don't like the idea of having what was once a cool community of like minded nerds who shared a passion to just another normalfag trend.
>>28224754
Hard tie between #8 (left to right) or #1.
>>28224754
I liked Nico the most. Honoka is a literal retard and Kotori is pretty, but I thought she was boring. Maki is tsun tsun which is annoying. Rin, the other Rin, and Eli I didn't care for too much. Umi and Nozomi get honorable mentions for being nice and caring, especially Nozomi.
Love live sunshine can suck my ass.
>>28223234
Anime is slowly becoming acceptable anon. I'm sorry, but your shitty moe waifus are going to be full on sluts in a few years. Anime is for faggots anyway.
>>28225201
anime-watching is not a "passion" just like furiously jacking off your microdick isn't a "passion" and you're a fucking dumb faggot
>>28225278
>implying having a 100gb+ folder with pictures of my waifu isn't a passion
get a load of this normalfag
>>28224754
Rin is by far the best Love Live.
>best voice
>best features (canonically known for her ass)
>not voiced by a slut
>qt tomboy look
Seriously how could anyone pick any of the others?
>>28224754
honoka as fuckbuddy because she did a jav
>>28225278
How is it not? Are you incapable of thinking someone can be passionate about something that you hate.
Sure if you just causally watch it its not a passion just like someone who casualty plays video games or reads comics isn't passionate. But when you dedicate a majority of your time to it and learn about its history and the creators behind it get involved in discussions for it, i'd say its a passion.
Then again you're either a troll or a normalfag so I don't even know why I bother replying.

Where have you been? They already did, violence is practically banned in anime now.
>>28223234
Maybe it's a passing trend?
Do we have any examples of normalfags leaving a culture after they've had their fun with it?
Black people love anime
Anything black people love is inherently normie
>>28224134
At the very least eroge like Monobeno will be left untouched.
>>28225994
Rape scenes in eroge were banned years ago
>>28225994
>eroge
Do you think that goes for VNs in general too?
Normies don't have time to play VNs, right?
>>28223234
Normies watch anime for the pretty colors.
I don't think they enjoy anything pre-2006.

The normie interest in all this shit is rapidly collapsing, including "video games" beyond glorified slot machines/pachinko on phone or otherwise. A tiny fraction of Steam users own more than DOTA and CS:GO.
You just have to ride out the wave. The big money will leave and the market will cater to its true audience again.
>>28226054
What would you say the timeline is, for normie interest/disinterest in this?
What makes you say that?
>>28226002
It sure is.

Nintendo is imploding so hard they had to go mobile.
Both Sony and Microsoft are "unsure" if they're going to create another console.
What happens is that the visionaries establish a market and then get bored or washed up and move onto new things. Then, big business comes in and runs <Company X> with their MBA and tries to broaden the market through casualization. The problem with this is that it's creatively bankrupt and exclusively for poseurs who don't really give a shit and are satisfied with garbage and then just bored out of the medium.
Anime is kind of a special case because of the culture barrier. Anime has always, ALWAYS been niche and even more so since Toonami's heyday in the 00s. I'm pretty certain that Japan's anime makers know they have a limited audience and have to pander in one way or another to stay alive. Anime tried to expand/casualize hardcore on the Toonami wave and crashed and burned.
>>28226128
If annie may has always been niche and there has always been a culture barrier, then how do we explain the popularity of SnK, SAO, etc?
Did the creators make any significant changes to their model or is it just marketing?
>>28226265
The perspective is skewed if you're in the fandom. What's "big" is nothing to large corporations. Gamedevs experimented with a lot of Japanese influenced titles and most of them did poorly. Anime is not really that popular.
>>28225994
Any time they localize eroge in the west they butcher it and cut out all the potentially offensive h-scene content.
Also, don't act like you can actually read monobeno worth a shit.
>>28226014
Eroge and VNs are the same thing.
VN seems to be used by the western audience far more frequently since god forbid if anybody associates their hobby with pornographic content.
>>28226389
>Eroge and VNs are the same thing.
Eroge specifically means porn game though and there are a lot of popular VNs out there with no H content. Although I do agree that visual novel is mainly a western term .
>>28226354
I never said I read Monobeno you fuck. As long as they keep getting made in Japan there's always the possibility of fan patches or learning the fucking language yourself instead of hoping that some easily offended bastards won't censor it/outright prevent its release.
