Honestly I loved anime growing up but I went on a date with a guy in college who spent the entire date talking about anime in a manner that communicated his big tit fetish on the first date. Like. I would have loved talking about Inuyasha or fma among a few others I remembered really enjoying. But nope. Anime tiddies. So when I read this I'm like... Are you sure it was the anime dude or was it maybe actually something tangentially related to the anime?

Otoh if it really truly was the anime anon dodged a bullet anyway.

Maybe anon only watches loli hentai but played it down to 'anime'.

This is the problem I've encountered. Anime is fine, it's like any other show/entertainment but it really can attract the wrong type of people. It's why I don't put it in my profile. The person I'm seeing has plenty of "horror" stories like yours too and said they avoid people with that in their profile now even though they like it cause of how weird or obsessive people can get about it.

Kinda sucks cause IMO one of the best parts about it is the ability to create other worlds/universes that live action struggles to do. (Think ATLA anime vs Live action)

Ive always felt the same, throughout my life I've had dumb asses for friends who would say "oh shit Anon here watches alot of anime" and i feel encouraged to downplay it for fear of being associated with weirdos they may have past experiences with.

Being older now i recognize that would be on them for judging based on a label. I don't hide that I watch anime, but I cant say I don't still feel odd talking about it. Especially because its just like any other show to me, its good or it isn't, I'm not some huge anime person, I just love a good story, i don't care about the medium.
