Hey Scarfac3 I'm in the same boat as you, sort of. I don't know any creators from around here, wouldn't know how to find them anyways.
So don't feel bad.
Otakus in Alaska are far worse.

It almost seems like anyone I talk to will say that. I told one of my co-workers I was into anime and she said then same. I am only wondering if anyone else has experienced this or is just me. It seems like those who don't really care about anime still view is as that kiddy crap, and always talk down about it.

Even Japanese refer to anime and otakus with disgust. There's a reason. Think, real hard. you might figure it out.

Yes, that means you 30 yr old guys that hang out in the "Who's your anime Crush?" thread. The Japanese hate you.

Kajino Rei,I appreciate your thoughtful reply
But you're really not in the same boat
for people here anime is like....the devil

And TV helps them think in that path
With all these kiddy animes(which these dumbfucks dub to be even more kiddy)

Well, I usally don't care what others think and I own so much they
can't do anything about it now.. Espcally when I made all of
my firends into otaku as well.

Well, just tonight. I sat down to watch anime with my dad wondering what I was watching. As it just was about to start, he walked off saying, "I can't listen to this shit".

What a nice person he is...

Wow, suck.

I hate it when everybodies parents get like that about anime. You can't really say, "shut the hell up.".........OK well you can.....but, it wouldn't be healthy for me.

If you want to see what an otaku it, watch Otaku no Video. Now that's some disturbing stuff, then think again if you are an otaku
