As some of you may have read, if you read my welcome post, you would probably fit me under this. I don't have to say which I do and don't like but that is my preference, almost immediately I am normally bogged by the lover of that particular anime/manga why that person likes it and why I should like it. Cult-religious-like. Am I a basher? I find that these types of deals are common amongst all forms of art media.
but even I've seen Inuyasha on and been mesmerized at the ability to suck me in and become the story, for that one episode. I've been through enough books to find that I've got a preference. Bashing sucks, it influences alot of people's opinion. What's worse is when these people begin to take offence to this harassment and find themselves attacking people or friends about stuff they love. But in the same ideological since that comes with all kinds of territory, clothes, style, likes, dislikes. It's up to you to determine whether or not you will be upset at these simple gestures of dislike. I doubt anyone is going to stab you because you like Naruto, just silently judge you. Judging only hurts you if it's true.
Each and every individual have a preference, each anime can be dissected for a reason or another and found a good piece of information. Like Boboboboboboajsdofijalsdkfjal or w/e. What was good about that? Well you got me, but there was something people found they liked about it, it was on for a year. Just be open minded and try to loosen your sphincter a bit.
