You are a bad ass, my dear man. American anime otaku are the scum of the earth and it pains me because it was a cute, fun thing to be a fan of when I was ten or eleven. Most of the people I encounter remotely involved with anime, manga, or anything Japanese-culture-related are the same delusional fucks that have read the latest Harry Potter fifteen times at this point. Instead of believing, however, that JK Rowling is going to hook up Snape and Harry in some hot Onegai Sensei, most anime fans have deluded themselves into believing that Japan is a place they'll find normalcy, acceptance, and success. Most are absolutely idealistic and that's sort of naive and adorable until you realize that they are entirely without ambition of any sort. A hoarde of uneducated, acne pocked idiots with Hot Topic wardrobes, shitty metal/techno sensibilities, and fantasies about androgynous boys hooking up with their childhood friends after years of estrangement.
