The 'I Hate Anime-FBpage' rant

Sorry for the late post of a new topic, was quite busy the whole year due to I'm turning to 3rd year college. So I was able to have a free time right now. Well, it would be quite frustrating to hear me rant on my return here on blogger, but I just can't help this pent up emotion...so please bear with me :) So here it goes:

(Warning: Bad Language)

I'm not the type of person who just gets pissed all a sudden just because other people have opinion that they hate 'this and that' and hate what you like, and I do like those type of people who are very frank but aren't rude at all. But there are some people who are quite INSENSITIVE, RUDE, and the 'I HATE *insert whatever they hate* AND I'LL RUB IT IN YOUR FACE' type, and this causes me to react very violently.

Today I was just surfing the internet, reading mangas online, soundtripping, and all the laid back and relaxing things. I went in search of Anime groups in Facebook; a normal thing I, an 'otaku' do, where I communicate with all Anime addicts all over the world and make friends with them. I stumbled upon a group called the 'I Hate Anime', well I know there are other types of people who hate anime but they let us 'Otakus' be without having to up-rage us and just live in perfect harmony with 'us' and throwing their hate aside.

Well somehow, it seems like (in my opinion) are trying to stop Otakuism and push aside anime to make 'Otakus' back to 'normal'. I agree on parts of their mission, that they should try to stop sexual innuendo since it is quite bad influence on kids...but yet this can't be stop since Anime was basically for mature audiences to begin with "right?". Their way of hating anime is quite not so reasonable, saying: that it's so sickening cute, audio quite sucks, girl-boy protagonist, and etc.

Yes I know that don't care about our feelings and how we really want to BITCH about it; I know they say it's a pain in their ass but they are also a PAIN IN THE ASS... they say they don't want a flame to start but the way they say it, it was quite pretty heartless for them...if you're quite curious on what their mission is, it is posted below: (and they say we have no dignity, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO SAY THAT!!!???!!!)

Our hate is directed at Anime, Hentai and Manga. We don't like that stuff for lots of reasons: it's sickeningly cute, full of lame cliche, effeminate girly-boy protagonists (no offense to the gay community btw), sometimes the shows are degrading to woman or contain sexually suggestive innuendo towards children, has ridiculous plots (some have some merit, sure), nauseating audio (especially the English dubs), overdramatic dialogue, dippy characters... ah I don't need to explain it. Anime just sucks. It's like a bad song you hear that gets under your skin and you just want to curse whenever you think about it... no... it's more like a screaming baby in a public place... somewhere you can't leave, like a plane or bus or mall...ugh. I hate that. Ya, it's like that. Real irksome... BUT, the thing is... you can't complain about the wailing or you'll look like a monster. See, that's how Anime is different. You CAN complain. Right here! Awesome, eh?

Where was I? Oh ya...

We don't think highly of Anime otakus or fujoshis (extremely obsessive fans) but we respect their right to do whatever makes them happy - so long as it isn't in our face.

We also hate spammers and we don't care for anyone who bitches to us about how they don't like our opinions/content/attidues. We find dealing with such people to be a major pain in the ass. We have zero interest in chatting with them. Why? Because it's always the same tedious Q&A about WHY WE HATE ANIME or HOW CAN WE BE SO MEAN... or some other ridiculous, painful to keep responding to question. We hate dealing with that here. It's boring and distracting and it always gets ugly. So, stuff on our walls that will lead to flame wars is strictly prohibited.

WE DO NOT PERMIT OPEN OBJECTION TO OUR TAKE ON ANIME OR OUR STYLE OF HUMOUR. Not gonna happen here. We will ban anyone who tries to start a fire (burning stuff is our job). Don't test us. You'll waste precious potential Anime watching minutes while we take all of three seconds and three clicks to boot yer ass out.

Sure, we use provocative rhetoric and plenty of blatant insults to get reactions. This is a spectacle. However, I assure you that we don't want Anime fans to chat with us.

OUR FOCUS is purely on the haters' experience. No bs. really. We want to make this place appealing to them and them only. They need a plot to call their own in this crazy, massive internet land. It's their right. This group is intended to be a fun place for haters of Anime (& Manga) to vent.

LET ME BE CRYSTAL CLEAR:
This social group is NOT an environment in which to hate on Japan or the Japanese culture as a whole. We do NOT advocate or condone violence against ANY particular racial group or individual. (Ya ya... we often casually joke about it and, yes, some people cross the line a little at times. Never the admins though. It's all just for laughs. You only have to be moderately perceptive to get that.)

ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE:
Anime profile pictures are not welcome here. We usually boot them on sight. Gotta do it. Be aware of this.

The Anime menace should only be fought in places like this group (It's a safe and fun trench). Our weapons will be mean-spirited jokes, pictures and comments (eww scary). Is this a mature thing to do? Heck no. Will it make even a dent in the overwhelming mass invasion of lame-ass Anime sub-culture? Probably not. Are we jerks? Sure... BUT, at least, we're not painfully annoying like so many Anime fans tend to be. Consider us a lesser evil. A sexier, handsomer, funner, cooler, wittier, more stylish and charming group of geeks.

Heck, our humour makes sense. That has got to count for something.

OK...true, we can be unusually cruel; nasty even. BUT, no one can or should be nice ALL the time. Come on! Lower those impossibly high standards, get off your holy steed and come play in the mud with us. Good times here.

Besides, like I said, we regulate ourselves to just this group. Like-minded Anime hatin' folk need somewhere to blow off steam too. Which is healthy. No harm to anyone. (except Anime fans' dignity... oh ya, they have none)

Mean people suck, you say? Well... I say, BE QUIET. The mean people are busy taking the piss and having some laughs. We don't like being interrupted. So, why don't you go someplace where folks are nicer. Someplace where everyone is nice to you, and you all can say nice things back to them. Everyone can talk nicely about things they think are pretty nice, and how nice it is to be in nice company while doing such wonderfully nice things all you fucking want to.

DON'T demand that we adhere to your notions of civility. We hate that.
Curious about their site on Facebook? Here's the link:

For those who hate anime, I don't really want a fight either but I was completely affected by how the people in the group said these things. If you're going to comment please don't bash me and push my anger at the very edge of my limits because once I hit that edge, Miss Otaku here is not quite pretty when I release my anger in a very somewhat violent manner...
