[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 3764968, member: 18"] Nah, it's because he's obviously not played WoW! Zing! I have, by the way. I was hypnotized by it for a long time, but I got better. As for the refusal to accept that something can be crap, this seems to be a uniquely American "everyone and everything is yooneek!" sort of thing. I'm sorry guys, but repeated denial and complex arguments about "objective versus subjective qualities" don't make Dragonball Z not a steaming pile of crap. The idea that "nothing is crap" seems to be particularly popular with anime fans. I wonder why...? I guess it's because you guys* all so enlightened and stuff, eh? What I don't get is why some people get their knickers in a total twist and weep themselves silly just because their favourite piece of mindless entertainment gets called "crap". It's not something I see in Britain. Plenty of people cheerful admit that they're watching crap over here, in my experience, but on the internet, if you call a spade a spade, or Naruto a crappy anime series for very young adults with little to no intellectual value or discussion of meaningful or universal ideas, then it's FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEWAR baby! Burning down the house! Maybe it's just a cultural thing, with the whole "every individual is unique and wonderful" culture clashing with the "don't get too smug" culture? Next someone will probably be telling me that an awful splodge of a painting is good because the person who did it is their son/daughter/friend. No, mate, it's not good. If you get real, you know that. What it has to you is emotional value, which is lovely and all, but doesn't mean it should be inflicted on the world as a whole. [B]Merlion[/B] - I guess you don't feel it's in any way hypocritical for you to imply that two things you don't like are "commercial" (reality shows and romance novels), yet that anime is like, kewl. I'm sorry buddy, but you can't get away with that. Romance novels are no more or less "commercial" than DBZ. * - Considering I've been labelled an anime fan and own a fairly large quantity of anime, I guess this includes me - how have I escaped enlightenment?
