Just wondering..

[Shibo]

Help me out here, folks. Why do people feel the need to criticize others? favorite shows? I was just cruising the reviews the other day and I was very amused to see a comment that ?DBZ fans wouldn?t like this show.? Now I?m not a DBZ fan by any stretch of the imagination.. This isn?t because I dislike the series at all.. I just never bought any of the DBZ stuff and I don?t watch cartoon network.. If and when a perfect HK release comes out, with high quality subs, I will certainly pick it up.. The same goes for dragon ball.. I?ll buy em, when they?re uncut and perfect. Otherwise I got too much other stuff to watch? But I digress. My point is that as anime fans we should try to avoid stereotyping whenever possible. Sure, we all like our own shows but let?s try not to stereotype and decide that we?re better than certain others because of the shows that we watch or don?t watch?Cause know what? We?re not. As much as I like to joke with my DBZ loving friends about the series, I think they know that I?m not serious and that I respect them and their choice of anime. I mean, hell, I get plenty of grief for my preference for shoujo, romance, and kawaii shows, but hopefully nobody looks down on me because of what I like. And hopefully they don?t look down upon any of you. Come on, folks, this is fandom. There are plenty of shows to go around. So like what you like, let your friends do the same, and don?t underestimate the DBZ fans of the world. You?ll find that most of them like many other types of shows.. And I have a theory that a lot of the folks who started watching anime with DBZ feel that they?ve moved ?beyond? the show and are now into other series instead. To those people, I say, get over yourself. Don?t forget where you come from. You?re not ?too cool? for that series now. You've just branched out and enjoy other shows now. Anyway, that?s my rant and that?s all I have to say today. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.
