It's not the content, or being closed minded, or anything of the post. It's the "nerdrage". Take anime. I didn't see much anime until I was in my late teens, I what I did see I didn't care for. So, when the subject came up amongst people, be it friends or strangers, I'd say, "I don't really care for anime". This would often incite long lectures littered with terms like "manga art", "kitsune", "demon foxes" and "urosuckadoji". Dang it people, there is a reason that posting about anime on the internet outside of an anime or gaming forum will get you called a hyphenate of the word anime and a specific slur relating to a man's sexuality. As a result, I made it point NOT to watch anything remotely related to anime for years. There is some logic to it, really. You make the assumption of that if greater then 70% of the people you meet who are into a specific thing act a certain way, then it must be that those people are attracted to that thing. I don't like them, so logically I won't like it. In my case, it bears true. I've watch a lot of anime in recent years, and I've found that my tastes are just not into the majority of anime. I don't care for Tolkien either. I have first editions of all the middle-earth related stuff, and I've read it. I enjoy the fact that his world is so thoroughly crafted, but the final product simply leaves me cold. I'll take Jack Vance or Larry Niven any day.</blockquote>
