    You used to be labeled weird for liking anime.

    Nowadays people will call you a pedophile on extwitter for liking an image of a clothed Hatsune Miku.

      “oh no, people are calling me a pedophile for liking lolis” As they should. Lolis are why I hate most anime because I know they’re catering to the weirdos that buy their products. The whole “It’s ok guys! This character is 1000 years old but looks like a child” is always and will always be sus.

    Kids are going to be weird and use their imagination. They’ll pretend to be an NFL player breaking tackles as they run through a crowded school hallway. They’ll pretend to be Optimus Prime and pretend to transform into a truck. Or they’ll pretend to be iron man blasting bad guys with their lazer palms.

    The issue is when your friends have aged out of that behavior and you think it’s still cool to Naruto run up to them all the time.
