I don't know anybody who likes it just because of proximity but I know some people that say they like that it offers a way for new ideas on story ideas and art to be used but these aren't the types of people that think it's the "ultimate everything to anything".
The desu desu people have to be the extreme minority.
probably because they tend to find it when they're learning that there is a whole new world beyond the one they know, so with the energy of youth they devour it and then it just doesn't stop.
to be honest i hadn't even considered the possibility of it being a form of modern orientalism, but you tend to see that move in line with regards to the middle east and that whole region, esp in light of 9/11 and all that's come after
to be fair, could they possibly enjoy both on their own merits? or are you saying that because it's Asian it's cool in their eyes? i know that the thread is started somewhat in jest, but you may be giving them too little credit.
or are they that horrible and i'm just deluding myself?

Sounds good to me.
I like the stage of life theory I have going on right now. It's been working well for about a decade. Basically, in my experience, I have always hated passionately the stages of life preceding the one I am at. I think most people feel this effect to some extent. It is like a sociologically validated superiority complex or sorts. Give me some paragraphs here.
As seniors in high school (and also as seniors in college) we are effectively told that basically, yep, we *are* better than the people in the levels below us. Once we get past those ages, this sort of mental level-judging continues. In my experience, though, it's not "Yep, I am totally, totally smarter than those dumbasses in their mid-20s." It is instead, "Those dumbasses in those mid 20s are like not even quite human." And those before the mid 20s? I think even less than them. Teenagers, I basically don't even consider them sentient entities; just mounds of garbage programmed by advertisements of various levels of "clever."
In short, I am all for everyone younger than me being executed.
In my case, when I was 5 or 6 years old, the afternoon Spanish TV stations started showing Mazinger Z after school (look it up in Wikipedia). I didn't know it was Japanese back then, but I did know it was AWESOME. I was hooked before I ever had a chance.
if the eyes on the females take up roughly 1/4th or more of their face, the anime is probably unwatchable.
Speaking of which, do you have your Oxford Bible? I'm going to start reading it on Monday.
THE HOLY BIBLE

don't be a hater, pd. animu and christianity have a lot in common. to whit:
- the more a fan you are of either, the greater chance that you're a pervert
- both animu and christianity have leaders that want to bugger children
- the canon of both animu and christianity requires interpretation from self-titled leaders
- in christianity, jesus died for your sins. in animu, spike from cowboy bebop died for your sins.
the question is: why aren't YOU an animu fanboy, pd?
if you haven't seen cowboy bebop by now, you probably don't plan to see it. and you will go to hell.

The superiority complex is valid. As we age we become bigger, stronger, smarter and more emotionally stable. We have reason to look down on our younger selves. This changes when we hit our mid twenties. From then on our fluid intelligence and memory begin to slip, we become weaker and our metabolism slows down. The only thing that improves is our crystallized intelligence. At the same time we just accumulate more and more prejudices.
In short, I am all for everyone younger and older than me being executed.
I don't think I have experienced anything exactly like this, but I have noticed changes in how my brain "works" over the past two or so years, and I am rather fond of the changes. I don't think this maps onto what you are saying, since if anything, my pattern recognition is getting even better, to the point of looking for patterns in things that don't really have them!
IM just saying if youre gonna criticize western anime fans, dont post a video of the worst eastern fans
if you haven't seen cowboy bebop by now, you probably don't plan to see it. and you will go to hell.
i'm not talking to you anymore tvc. lumpin me with viz. smh

i could sub in "mohammed" for you if you'd like, himu!
Mohammad's wife was a like 20 years older than him man.
Aisha was six or seven years old when betrothed to Muhammad. She stayed in her parents' home until the age of nine, when the marriage was consummated.[2][4][5][6] The marriage was delayed until after the Hijra, or migration to Medina, in 622. Aisha and her older sister Asma bint Abi Bakr only moved to Medina after Muhammad had already fled there. Abu Bakr gave Muhammad the money to build a house for himself. After this, the wedding was celebrated very simply. After the wedding, Aisha continued to play with her toys, and Muhammad entered into the spirit of these games.[7]

with his desire to marry/fuck 13 year old girls, i would compare Mohummad to an anime watcher/mormon

She gave birth to Jesus at the age of 14.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And even better, they were originally both played by dudes. Things were AWESOME back then. That there high art Shakespeare shit was little more than public gay death suicide sex.

Female roles were played by dudes back in Shakespeare's day. And even when women actually took to the stage, they were considered little better than whores (and many of them did that on the side).
Who the heck is that, Viscen?
this is getting weird...
...
what in the flying fuck :rofl :rofl
BTW, if you guys read Romeo and Juliet, the title characters were 13 years old. It's actually mentioned in the text. Things were different back then.
It is a form of escapism.
Animated characters that are catered to people that live thousands of miles away are far less likely to judge you than your peers.
