Hmm... I think some of this is a little broad.

I was reviewing Ferrarilamborghini's rather short entry, no offense... WE ARE NOT FUCKING WEEABOOS! August 9, 2020I did take a look at the link in question which I will just copy to this and give my thoughts: https://toxicfandomsandhatedoms.miraheze.org/wiki/Anime_Hatedom Why They're Toxic The Cartoon Community and especially the Cartoonaboos hate anime just because they think that "anime has stolen the popularity of cartoons". The Religious Nut-Jobs assumes that anime is satanic. How can a simple Japanese animation be satanic? It's important to note that the religious nuts forgot that The Flying House, Superbook (1981), and In the Beginning: The Bible Stories exist. Typical Moral Guardians think that all anime is nothing but adult stuff just because of some animes being adult aimed such as GATE , Owari No Seraph , Chrono Crusade , Attack on Titan , Code Geass , Witchblade , God Eater , Black Lagoon , Tokyo Ghoul , Akame Ga Kill , Kill la Kill , Highschool DxD , Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt , JoJo's Bizarre Adventure , Fist of the North Star , etc. Wow, even this portion of the hatedom hates adult stuff.They literally forgot that there are some animes that are aimed at kids such as Hamtaro , Doraemon , Pokémon , Yo-kai Watch , Digimon , Panda! Go Panda! , Tsubomi's Secrets , You Are Umasou , Astro Boy , Chi's New Address , Kemono Friends , Little Witch Academia , Dogtanian , etc. Some of them are manga elitists. Kinda like how comic book elitists hate comic-based movies (like MCU or DCEU), except with anime instead of comic-based movies. Some of them are even Obsessive Anti-SJWs. They always go after anime fans in very harsh ways (even the nice ones) and label them as weeaboos, perverts, pedophiles, trash, degenerates, etc. Most of them also use autism, mental issues, disabilities, mental illnesses, and many more as insults. Some don't even know what those words mean. Speaking of the word pedophile, they think that some anime fans are pedophiles just because of some under-aged characters. Even though under-aged characters existed in non-anime media and not everyone who likes anime is considered a pedophile. They made the term weeaboo lose its meaning. A weeaboo is a non-Japanese person who behaves like a Japanese person. Now they seem to use it towards anime fans. Some of them call anime "Gay" . Some would go as far as being xenophobic to Japan just because anime is made in Japan. And yes, they still use the infamous " two nukes weren't enough . How do you justify with the sole existence of a medium that a country deserves a third nuclear bombing? And yes, these are the same people who want to destroy Japan which is immoral and terroristic. Rather than just not liking anime, they see anime like it started a second Holocaust, gifts from hell, etc (this is because of a certain anime they dislike). That's almost as stupid as saying you hate books just because of Twilight. They mislead non-anime watchers into thinking the same thing as them. As with any medium, there's something for everyone. Because they only focus on ecchi anime or see NSFW involving anime characters, they see anime as only porn; and heck, some also think the word "hentai" is the correct usage for all anime because they are too lazy and way too stupid to research the word "anime". Not all animes have porn/hentai. They say only anime has under-aged sexualization which is not true since some don't. Also, some American cartoons like South Park have done this before such as Wendy's nipples were shown in a Bebe episode (Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society), and Cartman' penis is being shown in some episodes (which that is now uncensored in later DVD releases)They get really pissed off when a pervert in an anime does his/her antics. Again, American cartoon characters also have perverts as well such as Herbert from Family Guy . They want to ban anime which is not really going to happen any time soon since it's just laughable . That's like saying you want to ban video games just because you don't like it. They could even do certain things to get anime banned such as making Donald Trump ban anime or only have anime be banned in Western countries . In fact, they make a truck-load of them on Change.org . They have a habit of overusing quotes that describe their hatred towards anime such as "weeb shit", "anime was a mistake" or "anime is trash". They use these quotes a lot to not just anime, but also Japanese video game characters as well. They behave exactly like SJWs despite most of them being anti-SJWs. How hypocritical... They see cosplayers who dress up as anime characters as dummies. They are just dressing up, it's not like they are weeaboos. YouTube Commenters would go to any anime-related YouTube video and meme just to post negative and obnoxious comments. This is proof that some are attention hogs. Some of them are classic anime fanboys who like some animes like Cowboy Bebop , Trigun , Rurouni Kenshin , Lupin the Third , Mobile Suit Gundam , Ranma 1/2 , Fist of the North Star , Slayers , City Hunter , Space Battleship Yamato , Princess Sarah , Kimagure Orange Road , etc. They even treat these animes like they are American and want anime to be like them. On the topic of classic anime, they complain about modern anime having Ecchi, Harem, and Hentai thus ignoring that they also existed in older times of anime before modern technology.Ironically enough, some of them hate harem anime yet ignore that American media focused on romance as well They blame anime for traumatizing them, but they are traumatizing themselves since they don't explain which anime they watch. They make hate memes of anime such as this Madagascar meme . Most of the hate memes involve penguins. They dislike anime for being weird. Oh come on, weird does not mean bad. Plus, some folks would find certain cartoons to be weird since not everyone has to like specific cartoons. Sometimes, they'll create fake FBI accounts on YouTube (or anywhere on social media) and say "FBI OPEN UP!" to anime fans. They can possibly get arrested for false identity (especially in the U.S). According to them: "Anime profile pic = your opinions do not count". Unfortunately, some would go to TheTopTens to make the said website look like it's saying that you're a weeb for liking anime. Some turn backs on anime just for the nightcore (pitched up music remixed) remixes. Since when did nightcore have to do with hating anime? PETA and its supporters keep claiming that anime supports animal abuse. Oh brother, it's ironic considering that PETA killed animals in real life and that anime is fiction. The organization thinks that anime cat girls promote animal cruelty and anime rape, and compared The Promised Neverland to factory farming. What were they thinking? When Kyoto Animation got attacked, they celebrated the arson of the studio. Why would they celebrate the death of 35 people? Some suspect anime is racist for not having many black characters or fat characters. Some suspect anime is racist for not having many black characters or fat characters.Hypocrisy: they hate anime yet they don't seem to have a problem with anime-inspired work such as Avatar: The Last Airbender , Teen Titans (2003) , RWBY , The Amazing Spiez , Castlevania , The Boondocks , Voltron , Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, etc. Another thing worth noting is that some anime studios have been involved in American animated series such as TMS Entertainment who took the hands of Inspector Gadget , The Real Ghostbusters , Animaniacs , Batman: The Animated Series , DuckTales , Spider-Man: The Animated Series , Rainbow Brite , and Tiny Toons Adventures . [Sic] Toei animating Transformers and GI Joe. AIC animating Silverhawks and Thundercats. Talk about ignoring facts.And let's not forget that some Western cartoons may have anime references as well. Examples include some couch gags from The Simpsons (such as Treehouse of Horror XXV), South Park episode "Good Times With Weapons", Bob's Burgers episode "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal", various anime references found in Steven Universe ( such as this picture of a character resembling Sailor Moon as seen in House Guest , the Crystal Gems applauding for Steven near the end of The Test which resembles the final scene of Neon Genesis Evangelion , etc), Superbook (2011) at times referencing it's original anime source, My Little Pony: Friendship is magic episode "Scare Master", Some Gravity Falls episodes referencing anime (Fun fact Soos is also an anime fan), Codename: Kids Next Door parodying Dragon Ball Z , The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy as well parodying Dragon Ball Z , Sanjay & Craig parodying Dragon Ball Z , The Amazing World of Gumball parodying many anime famous ones include Dragon Ball Z , Death Note , Attack on Titan , Kill la Kill , and Sailor Moon , OK K.O: Let's be heroes having many anime parodies (Fun fact Radicles's Power Poke was inspired by Yusuke's spirit gun in Yu Yu Hakusho ), and the list goes on.One last thing to note is that these hypocrites immaturity hate anime, yet they are fine with the anime art style as seen in video games such as Persona , Guilty Gear , Hyperdimension Neptunia , Fire Emblem , Ace Attorney , Danganronpa , Zelda , Senran Kagura , Xenoblade , ' Gal Gun , Dragalia Lost , Pokémon , etc. Some presume that anime was invented in the 1950s after the U.S sent two atomic bombs. This is false because anime was made in the 1910s. They picture anime fans as lazy and/or fat people who don't have a life. No wonder you would find memes that depicts them as fat when not all of them are. Besides, some anime fans have a life outside of anime such as going to get an education, getting a job, etc. They also believe that anime ruins people's lives and turns them into these things. They stereotype anime fans as having only "waifus" or "husbandos" and having romantic feelings for the fictional characters. They also believe that anime fans have never dated real people. Some blame anime for the existence of fetish art which still counts as Kink Shaming . Here is hypocrisy: they hate weeaboos yet some are cartoonaboos, wolfaboos, koreaboos, slavaboos, etc. Thanks to the toxicity of the anime community, they just hate anime just because of the toxic fans. Just because a community is toxic does not mean that anime is bad. Some join forces with Filthy Frank, Bricky, and IHE (not necessarily a hater but he just pointed many of animes' flaws) just because they dislike anime. Yes, this does count as circle jerking. If a video game has anime art style, they would freak out just because of the.... well, anime art-style. Most anime haters don't know that some of their favorite shows were inspired by anime such as Stranger Things being inspired by Elfen Lied or Steven Universe being inspired by Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z . ----------------------------------------As matter of disclosure, #19 would have been applied to me a very long time ago... okay buckle up kids its story time. As a kid I was watching Tekkaman, Voltron and Robotech without knowing I was watching anime. Anyway, my older brother was getting to anime proper in the early 90s... he had to be in junior high entering high school while I was in grade school entering junior high, as we were 2 years apart in age, anyway he was watching titles like Iria, Akira and some others I can't remember and being absolutely turned to anime as being extremely weird to point of not worth my interest well I was a freshman in high school my brother a junior and he introduce to Bubblegum Crisis on VHS... which I sat down and watched, with some reservations, and you know the rest of the story. To this day, I will admit I still have no desire to watch Akira.Now the list is mainly made of people who hate just for the sake of it which holds no rhyme or reason. #2, can be boiled to, "if doesn't provide spiritual nutrition, therefore it has no value whatsoever," and you find that with Jehovah's Witnesses and Fundamentalist Christians (ie Baptists). While #3 are parents who not only want to control the content of what their little rugrats watch but everyone else's based on their worldview.I have to agree with #10 not all anime is hentai. Because to qualify as hentai the characters have to anatomically correct and the sex scenes have to be explicit... there are some anime that do skirt the border of hentai.On the subject of pedophiles... pedophilia is a predatory act not a sexual one, so in the grooming process of a victim the pedo will use anime, especially shows like Pokemon, as a means to a end. Just because one likes anime does not automatically conclude they're into pedophilia. If you're into pedophilia you have more than just a screw loose.On the subject of #14, I find cosplaying to be mostly harmless but I do find it a lack of imagination when I see a large group of people dressed up as the same character from Naruto but I once to resist the urge of gouging out my eyes when I saw a guy... yes I said a guy... dressed up as Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop. Weeboos is a new term I'm not completely familiar with, so I'm going to go with Otaku that has a negative connotation in Japan which is a pejorative for a lifeless loser. Now the majority of anime fans are not lifeless losers many, which I include myself among, are those who have steady jobs, pay taxes and interests beyond just anime. But I will point out there is a small minority of those who lives just revolve around anime and nothing else, like for example a Korean man marrying a body pillow with anime character on it [ Source ]... those need seek professional help. I find it a welcoming irony that I'm a anime fan and a conservative Republican. When I read "They always go after anime fans in very harsh ways (even the nice ones) and label them as weeaboos, perverts, pedophiles, trash, degenerates, etc. Most of them also use autism, mental issues, disabilities, mental illnesses, and many more as insults. Some don't even know what those words mean." It was nothing new to me, because in the 1920s and 30s Jazz was considered a corrupting influence; in the 1950s Rock and Roll was considered the beginning of the downfall of human civilization. You can say the same things about comic books, video games, movies, dancing, flappers (1920s women's fashion); since it all being viewed from a very narrow moral lens.On #16 " Some of them are classic anime fanboys who like some animes like Cowboy Bebop , Trigun , Rurouni Kenshin , Lupin the Third , Mobile Suit Gundam , Ranma 1/2 , Fist of the North Star , Slayers , City Hunter , Space Battleship Yamato , Princess Sarah , Kimagure Orange Road , etc. They even treat these animes like they are American and want anime to be like them." I don't understand could someone explain that one to me....The only thing I could extrapolate would be something like Exo-Squad, which was inspired by Mobile Suit Gundam. Now I don't consider myself an obsessive Anti-SJW... but I would be lying if I did not hate the SJW ideology either. What I want is to be entertained without the SJW bullshit being shoved down my throat.#31 I can debunk right here... tentacle porn, which La Blue Girl is a known example, existed all the way back in the 14th Century Japan. While fetishes existed since man's discovery of sexual desire. So no Junior you can't blame anime on creating fetishes. Now what are your thoughts?
