Shana09 5,769 Posted April 17, 2014 I didn't say you're an idiot I didn't say that Oh....then you haven't seen youtube comments or some other gaming sites... If I didn't see a lot of it I wouldn't have complain. Also,there are things that are more disturbing than tentacle hentai No shit I already know that,you didn't get the point.What I meant is at least we have to try to know more about others before we overgeneralize...I mean for f***s sake my brother once had a hard time when he went to USA after the 911 tragedy back then when everyone thought of every muslim on the planet as a terrorist because an organization of assholes used it as an excuse for their crimes. It's not only about Japan even though I specified Japan in particular....it's about trying to be open-minded about other cultures Also,if people were really joking,how come that some people are getting frowned upon or made fun of for liking anime?Heck I even heard about some families that think Japanese stuff are made by f***ing Satan and I don't know how that even work As someone who lived in New York City during the time of that event, it was really expected. The whole country was told it was radical muslims, the people who lost their loved ones wanted to blame someone and when they were told it was a muslim organization they just blamed muslims in general. And its not just Muslims, its even Indians and other religions that look similar to Muslims. It toned down now, and it only lasted for a year or so. Yes there are some people who treat others like that but as of now its better since more people stopped being so angry and finally realized it was just an organization and not the entire race. And like I said, stereotypes happen and there is nothing we can do about it other than educate the new generation in schools and wait for the time period to be over. Anime gets frowned by some people because they see it as a cartoon, just like some people think people who like Disney movies and they aren't a kid is weird. It happens, just move on and ignore it. It isn't hard, this is how life is. And that is just one family that isn't everyone in the world. And MasterXemnas is right, you are technically generalizing this whole thing saying everyone feels this way (or at least act like this) when in reality there are a people who don't like it, people who like it, and people who don't care. This goes for everything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This goes for everything. I didn't say everyone feels this way,I said many people not everyone Anyway,I can ignore it,but it's something that keeps popping up especially among youtube channels I'm subscribed to so I felt I had to tell someone about it But apparently by the look of this thread I won't talk about something personal I felt again Edited April 17, 2014 by Red Tribal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would personally ignore it, especially coming from YT videos/comments as it tends to be stupid commentaries, and like others said before, they could be joking. (Or trolling.)

HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted April 17, 2014 People just need to use their brains and base their opinions and judgements on who that person is and what they stand for and not where they are from . You cannot judge a book by it's cover and stereotypes are far from accurate. It's not hard people .I guess it's easier to make baseless assumptions for some people .( not all by the way ) 4 Blooming Marluxia, Dio Brando, Demyx. and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kittenz 4,281 Posted April 19, 2014 Oh. It's just that KittensOnFire said that most Americans are idiots, to which i almost thought that i was in that percentage. *Facepalm* You always jump to conclusions. Please read everything before you comment. Edit: This should be in quotation marks(I think) Most Americans are idiots anyway, or at least that's what they show to the rest of the world. Not all of them are like that, but there seem to be alot of idiots there. Yeah, I know. Alot of my family comes from America and they aren't like that, it just frustrates me sometimes. I shouldn't have said it like that, but I meant that lots of people say ''All Americans are idiots'' because of some of the people there. I know it's not true. But when you see international CNN reporters everyday saying something misogynistic, and reports that another person died because some chick was texting etc it gets really irritating really quickly. It's society that makes me mad. Not Americans themselves. We have the same people here and I get mad at them too. I don't really mean it, I just get so frustrated with people. I don't care what country some one comes from, there are good people and bad people everywhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
