Anime Club

[Sterben]

A honest question to the club, is it strange for a straight male male to like the romance genre of anime's? I'm not talking watching it just for the girls, but watching it for the story line and funny perverted and awkward scenes.

Why do you care what others think?

        I don't really care what others think, it's a question I've often wondered about. I do take great pride in separating myself from the average anime fan and try to understand all the references being portrayed in anime. I know since I was raised in a western culture, I'll never be able to fully compered, but I can damn well try!

        The other day a older lady accused me being a millennial, that really bothered me since that age group has a lot of negative baggage. I'm almost thirty and have no children and have never been married, nor do I watch nor condone reality T.V shows or those stupid national talent contest shows. It's a part of the American culture shame theory that other countries have with us. I aspire to be more understanding and gain knowledge, and being associated with modern stereotypes with American culture and assumed gender specifics.

        For example, every time around the time of a Superbowl customers always try to ask me about the teams and who I think will win. I don't like sports at all, I've never even watched a Superbowl before and I don't plan to either. All because I'm an American male, people assume that I would take an interest in the sport. If they just stopped and asked the question "Do you like sports, if you do , do you like football?" before assuming that I watch it by default, that be a more logical approach to it. A simple question can clear up a lot of misunderstandings. This is why I prefer socializing on the internet over a face to face interaction.
