deviantart has made me hate anime
73% Normal
7 Comments

as an artist i used to love manga etc and value it probably above all other modern dynamic graphic styles. but since i joined deviantart the endless tide of fanboys/girls imitating it, obsessing about it, giving themselves japanese names, doing cutesy 'kawaii' drawings of themselves, trying to use japanese words and leaving ass-licking comments on japanese artists pages and all the other saccharine bull has just totally put me off it all.
Do you think it's normal?

LMAO! Sorry but I love deviantart and all the fanart they draw, and all the stupid things they say. C'mon it's not like they act like that in public, maybe it is an escape for some of them.

If your sick of seeing it on deviantart and it's put you off it, why not just ignore that site and go to proper anime sights, or draw your own, it could get you back into it. I never used to know anime existed, but now I love it

ANIME IS GAY.

Just be glad your leaving the fanbase now instead of later.

I don't want to categorize all anime artists as a whole (because I like a lot of anime artists, as well as other artists), but I don't like how people obsess over anime thinking it's the best art/comic/cartoon ever, never broadening their horizons to other fantastic art forms and styles (nor do they want anything that's remotely non-Japanese, at least to those who are obsessed with anything Japanese).


I have a lot of friends who are major anime fans, and although I am a bit of a fan, way more often than not, most anime turn me off due to numerous reasons. They all want to go to Japan (and I've been there as a stopover), so whenever they say they want to go to Japan, I'd say I'll prefer to go to Croatia to spite them.
