I don't really get this one. I enjoy Touhou, good anime and some mangas simply because they are superior to alternatives in just about every way possible. lol avatar, watchmen, dark knight, crysis, donald duck...

Nevertheless there actually exists people that instantly start mocking you or generalize brutally by asking stuff like "how does it feel to fap to little cartoon girls?!" while actually seeming honestly raged and irritated.

I really don't get it. Anyone having a viable explanation for that shit? Pissess the shit out of me.

our tastes are just too different from theirs
sure when we're around our friends we can tolerate whatever shit movie they want to see, or whatever terrible tv show they put on that's supposed to be "funny"
but deep inside, we know that something being mainstream or popular does not necessarily make it good. However, that's the idea most people have had hammered into their head such that they only view things on TV or in the theatres.

It's not that it's crap. It's just that you are never going to get certain types of stories from them, like realistic stories for example. Mature people such as myself want cartoons, but with "adult" storylines. Only anime has that. In the western world, cartoon = for kids, always. Oh wait, except when they make one with lots of violence, gore and sex, because they think that makes it "mature" (it is in fact nearly as infantile, only a kid in puberty would consider that "mature"). We want the stories of 3D shows (the good ones), but with 2D characters.

Ever seen a western cartoon that had a setup similar to a show like "Friends"? (not saying it's good, just that such a "realistic" but still comedic show is an impossible concept to western producers).

only those by Carl Barks or Don Rosa. especially Don Rosa. those have mature and coherent storylines and character portrayals. I think I've read The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck at least 10 times.

Your choices are not fucking limited to Touhou or Avatar or comic books.

But please there is shitty anime and manga as well just like there is shitty movie.
One thing I never get is how the fuck are people enjoying mainstream music?
I think in the mid 90 when shitty rap and hip hop dominate the air waves is the time where I gave up on mainstream music.
Touhou music is all I listen to now.

It's getting slightly better now. Half of the indie bands I enjoyed in the first half of the 00s are now literally selling millions.

I love Japan and I am Asian-American and proud of being American too. Though it depends on the comic/movie/series and anime/manga/series when it comes deciding which is better. The Killing Joke and Watchmen are far better than most anime/manga/vns though. That's for sure.

I hope you just mean that as in music produced recently or something, because if touhou is all you listen to period, you are fucking missing out on so much good music.

And if this thread isn't a joke, I'm pretty embarrassed for you OP. There are plenty of good western movies and shows to enjoy alongside all your /jp/ stuff. All of you like this (I know there are quite a few even if the OP himself is just messing around) remind me of myself when I was 14 or some shit.

Like, seriously, having a diverse set of interests makes us 'attached to western media'? Are you fucking kidding me? I will fully agree with you if you say people who automatically dismiss anything Japanese are idiots, but this is just as bad.

I enjoy both Japanese and western comics, there's good and bad stuff on both sides.
It's just that when it comes to cartoons, West doesn't really try anything neat anymore. Sure, there's Pixar but I can't really name other companies that seriously try to make something that isn't cliched as hell or just stupid. Even Disney has fallen to that.
Land Before Time is still one of my favourite movies, though. Fucking sequels.

Calm down, Anon. I will agree with him that it is hard to find good western music. The only thing I listen to besides Touhou/eroge music is Sonata Arctica, and a few other progressive metal bands.

But what's with the argument about what other people think, anyway? Western ideology is "hurr tough and manly", while their /jp/-counterparts happen to be a bit on the softer side. And is there anything wrong with that? No.
You're always going to meet narrow-minded, rigid people, OP.

Japan/General is a misnomer, this board was made to have an outlet for stuff that wasn't supposed to be in /a/.
