I Seriously Hate Fanbrats
Especially the opinionated snobbish kind.
Now everyone has their own likes and tastes. This is as it should be. But do NOT tell others not to bother with a series just because YOU don't like it!
I've been trying to get a friend of mine into anime, finding things I think she would like (right now that's all things Loki) and will occasionally talk to her about Bleach, which I know isn't her thing, but it's a fan thing and she does the same about Avengers, so we're all good.
Well it turns out that when she was at Sakura Con down in Washington, she was talking to some other people about anime series and a number of them to her "not to bother" with Bleach. That it was "unbelievably stupid" and "not worth the time".
Holy fucking hell people?! How self absorbed are you?!
You don't like Bleach (or whatever series) okay, fine. But don't go turning others off. Giving your opinion is one thing, but stating it as fact is something else entirely.
There are series I don't like. One Piece is such a series. It's been recomended to me several times so I thought I'd have a look. And I just couldn't get into it. The best explanation I have is "it's too goofy for me" which is silly given how much crack Bleach is, but there you have it. I just can't do it. HOWEVER, I would never dream of telling someone else to avoid it. I'm no one by ME. I'm not in anyone else's head. I have no idea if they would like that level of goofiness or not. So I'll tell people why I do or don't read something, but then encourage them to have a look for themselves and make up their own minds.
Seriously, the level of fan hate is disgusting.
