Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

Skylin, just do what I do

Watch anime targeted towards 8-year-olds constantly. Eventually you'll be completely desensitized to whatever people might think about you and what you watch.

Stereotypes generally either come from a vocal minority, and thus are usually inaccurate, or from a majority truth, and thus are usually accurate.

That doesn't make them true, either one, on an individual level, though, nor should they be taken as such. Stereotypes don't mean "every person in this category has these qualities", they're a generalization, either true or false.

It's a stereotype to say that college students like to drink. That doesn't mean every college student does.

"Weird" is defined as a divergence from the norm. If the norm is to not like a certain thing, liking it is then "weird." Within this community, I would say liking anime is considered "normal," but within say... a fantasy football community, liking anime would be considered "weird."

edit: Jeez this thread is moving fast. This was supposed to be in reply to sky's post on the last page.

You already watch "normal" anime. Children's cartoons are hardly any stupider.

I'm always like this. I watch basically the most shitty, lowbrow shows even by anime standards and enjoy them. It really puts things into perspective.

It's also why I'm allowed to call other people weeaboos.

some people just like their cartoons like they like their mutants

big-eyed and radioactive

and if that's wrong then I don't want to be right
See, Sky, this is what a healthy mindset looks like. Just accept your esotericism, celebrate it, and live life happy about it.

God, I can't believe I'm holding Peytral up as a positive examplar.
It's interesting that you say this, because I've never seen a group of people or community desire to be accepted as 'normal' or 'mainstream' more than anime fans. (Speaking generally, not just here at ToK). I'm not sure why that is, when other less popular/mainstream hobbies don't necessarily have that desire. For instance, I don't see that desire expressed nearly as often in say kpop communities as I do in anime communities.

But yeah, I agree that we could all benefit from accepting our own 'weirdness'. (Or 'uniqueness' to use a word with a more positive connotation).

Also, this comment was only 30-40 minutes ago but I'm waaaaaay late responding to it.
