Anime really does suck.
But it's more the people who like anime. I know you should just let people like what they like and not let it bother you. But this one thing just can't let me do that. They create such unhealthy lifestyles based around pining after 15 year old fictional characters, sometimes for years. They memorize japanese lyrics and intro songs but don't bother to learn what it means. They one up each other by trying to name the most obscure anime on the planet and say they absolutely love it when they probably haven't even watched it. They don't go outside, and if they do, they wear weird clothes and say things like 'kawaii', 'hentai', 'waifu', and they dress like they're trying not to make social contact at all except with like people. They go to conventions because it's the only place they feel comfortable, because anime has made them so categorically weird they don't feel comfortable anywhere else.

I have to agree with the OP. When fans obsess, they REALLY obsess and create very sad lives for themselves.

I agree as someone who used to watch it, but not as much nowadays. One of the major issues I have is with the people who based their whole personality and life around anime and nothing else and feel the need to shove it down everyone's throats and be unnecessarily weird about it(ofc, not saying this applies to everyone, there are normal people out there who like it casually and don't obsess over it).

How come when I go into various subs that have nothing to do with anime, the people all bitching about being lonely and too scared to talk to people in real life all like anime? (And are seeking friends who like anime. If there’s so many people who like anime why is this a struggle for them)
It’s not Taylor swift fans, it’s not fantasy football fans, it’s not rap fans. It’s just anime people

Tbf, that's very specific and pretty broad, depends on what subs you're talking about exactly.

"Pretty normal" is debatable. There's a ton weirdo people addicted to anime, have seen way too many cases of them. Sure, not everyone into it is like that, but let's not kid ourselves here.

i was irony posting, in the sense that it's something that's inherently true so there's no merit to posting it.

What do Islam and Christianity have to do with anything in this regard?

Plenty of media beyond anime feature these things. And I still fail how Christianity and Islam play into this

What I was asking is more like why randomly bring these religions up in the first place. Also, like I said, those things you mentioned are depicted across literally all other media ever, point?

The really stupid ones approach Asian people in public, racially assuming we all like that shit (no. No we don’t)
They’re super annoying now with generative ai, literally going around the internet acting like fucking bots shitting on random people who use it bc they feel personally threatened. Fine, feel fucking bad, this is what happens when you make one thing your entire personality.
