    Anime. There are plenty of great shows I like, and seemingly no way to discuss them with people who are actually normal about it.

      Too true. It’s like, you casually watch anime and you try talking to some people about it. You’ll mostly run into people who just binge watch series after series and they’ll start acting like as if you need an encyclopedia at the ready to decipher what they’re talking about.

      There’s almost no in-between with lots of anime fans.

      But nothing will be anymore discomforting than some loser who will treat an underage looking character as their ‘waifu’.

      Agreed.

      Also to point out that Anime itself doesn’t really help its own cause here. Every show, even the decent ones, will have some weirdly out-of-the-blue softcore porn scene or outrageous outfit on an underaged high school student with oversized proportions, which does nothing to bring the story further, before they go back to the best fight scene you’ve seen this decade.

    Cannabis. Most of the community is still pretty cringe and it isn’t the wonder drug people think it is; it is wonderful though.

    Rick & Morty for me. I thought it’s a funny show, at least the first couple seasons I watched of it. I stopped watching it because of how obnoxious the fans are, actually ruining the show for me. It got to a point where I’d watch an episode, hear a joke get repeated, and think to myself “Oh great, this will be the line that I hear everybody saying for the next six months”, to the extent that I get distracted by my own annoyance. Now I have this mental association with the show and the fans and I just can’t stand to watch it anymore.

    This was all before the shit with Roiland came out, for what it’s worth. But that’s another reason I struggle to enjoy the show anymore.

    Cars. Love me some good engines and nice classic muscle builds, but Holy fuck I swear to christ 95% of all the mouth breathing troglodytes that are into “cars” but spend half of the show talking about God Trump this and God Trump that make me want to put my Cadillac in a fucking crusher.

      Yeah. Along the same lines is off roading. Can’t hit up an OHV spot without seeing a trump banner, some blue line decals, or a don’t tread on me flag.

      They assume if you’re not a fat alcoholic that you don’t know how to fix cars. They’re also repeating the same dumbass jokes like “replace your blinker fluid”.

    BMWs and Audis

    I can’t afford them anyway but I’ve abandoned the goal of having one because I don’t want to be seen as that guy
