Does anyone else get bummed out by their friends for liking Anime?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Animes : One Thread

Does anyone else have friends that if you start talking about anime or anything else on that line they get mad at you, or get bored. When I start talking to my friends about Inuyasha or something one of my friends start saying geesh, don't listen to her or something like that. Another one of my friends (boy i'm using the word "friends" a lot!) actually say that they might like it but doesn't want to talk about it because other people thinks it's dumb. I get soo mad!!!>_<

I know that you don't know me but I have a friend like that too. She will get mad at me for not talking (because I am quiet at school) but when I talk she gets mad at me for talking about anime. Then when I tell her that one of the anime guys were cute then she will go off on me and say "how can you crush on an anime character." It makes me so mad, but atleast I do have a couple of anime loving friends.

I must be lucky... I even know a couple jocks who like anime. I know around 5 or 6 people who watch inuyasha, and almost everyone I know has seen cowboy bebop... strangely enough, the people i know who don't like anime are pretty much all considered nerds anyway. Kindof funny...

I dunno. I got some friends who don't like it, others who do (particiulairly the othes that got me hooked on it in the first place). I just don't talk about it to those who don't like it, unless of course I threaten to tie them down, and watch it :evil:

my family talks trash about anime and makes fun of me for loving it so much. my friends do that too. but i do have at least two friends who love it. don't let ur friends get u down. Anime is great, and if they don't know it too bad for them

Fortuneatly for me, I have no friends that hate anime, but my brothers are bothering me because of it. Especially for an unusual liking to Pokemon and Sailor Moon. There just isn't much defense these days for anime's that have become unpopular. I bet you guys think these ones suck as well, eh? I do admit there are better anime's like Gundam X. One other note: I have to say that in life, about 90% of the people you come across won't bother ya, but there's always a certan 10% who will try to make your life miserable. Just don't let it get ya down, ever. Anime forever!!

All my friends are strange and like their own stuff so they don't really get on my case. i even got 5 of em' addicted. sometimes they get annoying cause they think they know all about it, but really they don't and they cling onto my collection of manga like it's theirs. Grrrrrrrrrr...
