So I was in a bar the other day, waiting to get a drink when some thirty something dude says to me, "No wonder you kids are so fucked up." I looked up and there was Inuyasha on the TV screen, the sound all the way down. Personally I don't like Inuyasha but I did get into some mainstream anime when I was younger. Then the guy said "but I'd fuck her", which I had a laugh at as I rolled my eyes uncomfortably.

Does anyone else get this kind of grief from older types? (I'm 21) And mind you, I'm not a huge anime fan, and I'll admit there is lots of crappy anime, but there's also a lot of good ones.

I'm 16 and, yes, I do get a lot of gruff from my family about anime (even from my younger siblings (sister 1 year younger, brother 5 years)). I still try my feeble attempts to get them to understand, but that's why they're feeble attempts. I've just learned to ignore it.

Tell them to stick their reality TV, that they love so much, up their ass then.

It's a genre of TV watching...whoopie...there are people that what the home shopping channel for a living.

I'm 24 and Chris is 27 and we both like anime, and InuYasha for that matter.

Age has nothing to do with it, really. Well, for some it is, I guess, but at any rate, I am me and I don't give a shit. Like what Hiryuu said, let them keep their "real" TV and garbage like that.

Oh, by the way, I would do him (InuYasha). XD

You know...if I was actually reading that anyways...I'd just passively say 'yes' and shrug off whatever idiotic comments were said to begin with.
