This week's skewed comment on anime: Lacking a reason and not caring

I told you guys that I had yet another skewed comment on anime for you.  That's two right in a row!  Let's hope the rest of the week brightens up a bit!  For now, we'll take a look at someone that doesn't like anime and has no reason for it.  Worst part is, they don't even care.

This time around, I'll just give you the full Twitter conversation with the person's Twitter name removed.  Should make it easier to see how the conversation flows, and what exactly was said.  For those that don't know, the first name is the one speaking.

@RandomPerson  That's like saying live-action TV is weird based on Wipeout or soap opera. I bet I could find plenty #anime series you'd like!

@RandomPerson  Well that's really unfortunate. At least you were honest about not having a reason. I bet I could find an #anime for you!


That's where the conversation ended.  Honestly, where was one go from there?  We have someone that isn't into anime, has no reason to explain their stance, and isn't ashamed to share that knowledge.  One of my pet peeves is when someone won't offer up a reason for feeling a certain way or believing something.  No matter what opinion you have or what way you think, there has to at least be one reason for why you feel that way.  If you stop to think and then realize that you don't have a reason, that should be the moment of realization where you do a little self exploration.

Not in this case, though.  This person is very happy disliking anime and having absolutely no reason to feel that way.  As they said...it's just weird.
