    Why throw anime/manga into this same pot? That's like saying you don't like movies with real actors as a medium.

    Because people with no interest in anime see it as a monolithic genre defined by the unbelievable wasterfall of fanservice isekai drivel. Pretty much all forms of animation still bear the burden of being seen as a genre within a medium rather than a medium themselves.

    In all fairness, it's is way too fucking common to start an anime and be like "oh shit this is pretty deep" and then episode three diverges into very uncomfortable underage stepsister beach episode filler.

    Yeah that happens. I don't like it too, it's lazy writing at least.

    Can you identify it stylistically? If I showed you Up and cowboy bebop screenshots could you tell which one was of Japanese origin and which was Pixar animation?

    If there were various Simpsons style comics and tv shows but you don't like that animation style, would it be fair to lump them together?

    I don't want it and I think it's off-putting to see rices of Linux that by and large feature waifu trash backgrounds, but that's me. I don't like the visuals and I find the translated dialogue to be both simplistic and hyperbolic as a generality.

    Probably not 100% of the time, but yeah. Most times, it's identifiable.

    I think this doesn't work. First of all is anime filled with many different styles, but also a much broader field than stuff that looks like the Simpsons. Also, if something is animated similarly to the Simpsons, that does not really say anything about it's content, just a medium again.

    That's totally alright, you don't need to like it. But you also shouldn't be putting it down generally. "I don't like anime" is alright, a statement of opinion, but saying "I absolutely hate anime/manga" is just offensive. Feel free not to like and avoid it, but why hate an animation style that is loved by many.

    I personally don't watch that much anime and don't read manga at all, but still, there are some diamonds there. It actually made me learn Japanese, and I'm still going strong after 10 Months. Anime gives me and many others comfort and entertainment, sometimes with the ability to break the everyday.

    Btw to talk some more about Linux stuff, fcitx5 is pretty amazing. Typing the thousands of Japanese/Chinese and other characters is no easy feat to integrate well I assume, but combined with anthy or mozc it gets the job done really well.

    "I hate" is also an opinion. I absolutely do hate it, and I hate the subculture it inspires. I find it all massively cringe. But that is just me and if you love it then you do you. I'm just a random internet stranger to you.

    Sure hate is an opinion, but an extreme one. And history tells countless stories on how that's bad.
