What would you do when someone criticize you about watching anime or pagbaba manga?

If I recall "friends" DO NOT criticize what their mga kaibigan watch,friends are supposed to support you through good or bad,but they absolutely should not criticize what you watch! Real mga kaibigan respect their friends' personal interests and they do not make fun of them.How I would handle this is I would tell them "anime is made for people of ALL ages (well it is!),and real mga kaibigan WOULD NOT criticize me based on one little difference,AND just because you guys don't like it,doesn't mean you should make me stop watching and liking it!" and as I sinabi before mga kaibigan shouldn't criticize you because of one difference! mga kaibigan RESPECT YOU FOR YOU,real mga kaibigan don't ask you to change just because you like certain things they don't! hopefully I helped in some way!^^

~Friends~
walang tiyak na layunin (so-called) Friend: Ew, you watch and read Anime?
Me: Yes, I do, and I'll appreciate it if you don't criticize it or anything, because if you don't like it, why don't you keep that to yourself? Everyone has their own opinions. Yours isn't the only one that matters, you know.
walang tiyak na layunin (so-called) Friend: How dare you, I'm never speaking
to you again!
Me: *mutters* Good riddance...

Well, yeah; that's what I'd say, but if they ARE your friends, they wouldn't criticize you in the first place!

~Random People~
walang tiyak na layunin Person: You actually like Anime?
Me: Yeah, so? What's it to you?
walang tiyak na layunin People: Anime is stupid.
Me: Look, I don't even know you, so...

Well, if that's what you meant sa pamamagitan ng 'some people around me'...

I know I'm being kind of mean, but they don't have to criticize too much!

tell them that they are just jealous about how happy u r pagbaba manga or watching anime and that they miss doing it too, ok :)

Ignore them or if I really didn't like them I'd probably manuntok them in their face! XP

My answer would vary depending on what the friend/stranger would say. For example...

friend/stranger: Why do you read manga? Its stupid.
me: YOURE STUPID, WHORE. D<

Or...

friend/stranger: Whatcha doin'?
me: watchin anime...
friend/stranger: whhyyy?? its kinda lame...
me: OHMIGAWD. GET OUTA MY SIGHT YOU WHORE. You're lame. D<

Okay, so maybe it wont really change all that much...
Long story short, don't criticize me or what I do. or a long listahan of cursing and insults will be screamed at you. madami than likely in Japanese.
XD

I tell them to shut the fuck up and get over it, Its what I like and pag-ibig get over it and if you can't you aren't a real friend. But Anime haters really do piss me off sometimes, I really just want to manuntok them in the mouth XD

manuntok them in the face XD ok, not really. I mean, if they were really ur friends, they wouldn't make fun of you. really 20 is not that old. i mean, people who write anime/manga's are adulte right? i know people who are like 40 who watch anime. don't stop watching anime, or pagbaba manga, just 'couse ur so called, "Friends" make fun of you. P.S. th epic. u put is my wolpeyper

not to be mean then they are not really good mga kaibigan cuz they should just leve ur personalody alone

ur not to old for anime some animes are rated 18 nd yes im a rebel nd watch them even tho im 13:L
any way i dnt car wat ppl say bout me i only now 2 ppl how how watch nd read manga my besto lara nd my cuzzin lucy(dnt kno if she reads manga
tho:( )

dnt let anyone bother u bout it u can watch nd read wat u want nd so can they

I have to deal this alot. -___-

If it was a "friend" it'd go something like this.

Friend: You watch anime?
Me: Yeah, so?
Friend: Anime is stupid!
Me: STFU! D< *goes on rampage*

XD

walang tiyak na layunin person: Anime's stupid.
Me: *&##$(@)&#$)@&%#@)^&!!!

I will kill him!!!!

You have every right to enjoy things that make you happy. If these people were your mga kaibigan then they would want you to do these things. sa pamamagitan ng saying this is childish then really they do not understand all there is to know about anime. There are childish anime but there are also very thrilling adult oriented categories. I am twenty five female and pag-ibig anime and manga. I respect it's field as an artist as well as a story writer. Just like with anything though you have good and bad things. If I was brought up with this accusation, which I have been before, I just turn to the person and say "well this makes me happy do you not want me to be happy?" That always seems to dumb found people. They don't have to see your way or anything but really they should respect your decisions and be good friends.

I say you can thik what you want and say what you want but it's your opinion, but this is my life I can watch what ever I want and you can't change that.

now watch this, I find it funny...don't ask why...

I'm a girl, so girls criticize me for pagbaba too much violent/shonen manga. Guys criticize me for pagbaba whatever manga they don't like. So here's how it goes:

Girl classmate: Hey, are you pagbaba Bleach again?
Me: Yeah
Girl: You know, that's really violent. I guess you really are a guy after all. (Stays away from me)

Guy classmate: Hey, what are you reading?
Me: Bleach
Guy: Lame! That was so last 2 months!!

So yeah...

I'M 22 yrs old, will turn 23 in a month's time...
i started watching anime "unknowingly" at the age of 5... it was Captain Tsubasa dubbed in Arabic. lol! i didn't understand it, but i loved watching it. i reconnected with anime at the age of 11, started watching Rurouni Kenshin, dubbed in English. then at the age of 14, I KNEW that what i had grown up watching and loved for so long was ANIME.
i've been watching ever since.
people didn't understand my obsession with it. why i watched, why i NEEDED to watch. and for a long time, i tried to explain it to them. i tried to get some of my mga kaibigan to watch too. Because EXPLAINING it was not sufficient, they would have to SEE FOR THEMSELVES and make up their minds.

that's just the thing. some people will TRY to understand, but fail. If they pag-ibig you, they'll just try to respect that you like something that they don't.
Some people won't understand, EVER, and they'll give you a hard time. you gotta just roll with the punches in that scenario. It doesn't matter what anyone else says, or thinks. What matters is, DO YOU LIKE WATCHING ANIME? IS IT IMPORTANT TO YOU? it shouldn't matter if others get it or not. If you like it, and you enjoy it, the rest is just irrelevant. :)

I ipakita them the corset scene from black butler~! :3

If They Really Are Your mga kaibigan They Will Respect Your Interests.
If They Are Not Then Tell Them How You Feel.
If They Continue To Disrespect You Then They Are Not Worthy Of Your Time,Just Ignore Them !!!!

I Have Been Criticized About That Matter Too And Even If I Explained What Is Anime And Why I Like It There Are Some People Who Just Don't Want To Understand,So Just Be Yourself !!!!
