Am i wierd?

[uncle-ellis]

I don't like animé.
I've always thought it was all just ridiculous bullshit.
But I'm a self proclaimed nerd I like video games, comics, star wars and all that stuff but I just don't like animé.

Is there something wrong with me?

 

[Neonbob]

Nope. Plenty of people don't like anime. I'm one of them. Wait...that may put a hole in my logic here...

 

[Skeleon]

Nah, anime isn't a prerequisite for nerd.
There are many different kinds of nerds throughout the whole, wide world.

 

[AceDefective]

no how i think disliking anime makes you less weird i like anime and i am a frea so yea there is that plus (self-proclamed) i am proclamed a nerd by others

 

[Arrers]

No you're not wierd, lots of nerd hate anime. You're wierd if you start referring to youself as an "otaku", but that the opposite end of the spectrum.

 

[Lukirre]

Uhhh...no.

Is there something wrong with a gamer who doesn't like Gears of War, or Bioshock?

It all has to do with preference. For example, I could say I love progressive death metal, but I hate Opeth. Not that hating Opeth is possible...but it's just an example.

 

[Nexus424]

Nope. You can't like everything. Just a couple days ago I read a thread about some guy that loves platforming but hates Mario so apparently everything is possible.

 

[j0frenzy]

On this particular topic, I would say no.
I would say that you probably have not sampled a lot of good anime, but even if you had and just did not like it that does justify you as being weird. Its a personal taste thing.
In fact, I would say that you are probably less weird than me, who lacks all of that stuff (to a degree), likes anime, but hated Fight Club (and let the Fight Club flames begin).

No, noone has time enough to nerdily love anything nerdy. Most people would hardly have the time for more than 1 MMO at the same time for instance

 

[Insert Funny Name Here]

No your not weird. Im not really into it.

 

[rottenbutter]

Yes.

But then, everyone is weird! Don't let it get to you.

 

[Daveman]

Nope, I don't think you're weird. I hate anime {insert paedophilia joke} but that's just me.

 

[ryai458]

no you are completely natural, and normal, be proud stand tall...umm support :/

 

[antipunt]

"Is there something wrong with me?"

Wouldn't say so.

 

[Sable Gear]

I don't think you're weird. Honestly, I like anime but even I know it doesn't make sense, I understand your not liking it.

There are different kinds of 'nerds' just as there are different kinds of 'jocks' or different breeds of dog. (ok enough with that simile)

 

[KamachoMcSagget]

a lot of people dont like anime
but try self proclaiming a different label, because i always think of nerds as someone with no life, and i'm pretty sure you live a good one

 

[internutt]

I like Anime.

Not liking anime just means that you are not part of the Otaku geek subculture. There are many forms of geek, sci-fi geek, fantasy geek, D&D players, gamers, etc.

There is nothing wrong with that, everyone has their own likes and dislikes after all.

 

[ElephantGuts]

I'm with you 100% there. Japanese people are wierd.

 

[forever saturday]

Nope. Plenty of people don't like anime. I'm one of them. Wait...that may put a hole in my logic here...

Oh my god, are you me?

Anyway, you dont have to like anime to be a nerd. You dont even have to be a nerd. Its just a word these days. Or you can be somewhere in the middle, like me. I dont think of myself as not being a nerd, but I am also hesitant to say that I am a nerd. This is because I dont do much nerdly stuff besides video games, and even then I am still not one of those people who puts their entire weeks worth of money into new games before thinking that maybe they should have spent some of that money on food.

No you're not wierd, lots of nerd hate anime. You're wierd if you start referring to youself as an "otaku", but that the opposite end of the spectrum.

Quick question what is OTAKU and who refurse to themselfs as it
