I’m picky. Some are ok, some just weird me out. I think it really just depends how close they get to portraying the human figure, when they start intentionally skewing proportions and making features anatomically impossible it’s just creepy for some reason. If it’s not a human character or if it’s still sort of realistic to normal proportions it usually is fine.

Personally, it’s the art form I don’t like. I couldn’t say why, but there’s something about the style of drawing people that I just can’t get past.

I accept that I’m in the minority, and I’m not criticizing it or talking down on it in any way. I understand there’s an incredible amount of love and talent that goes into it, it’s just not for me. Think of it as someone who says they don’t like the Mona Lisa, they aren’t saying it isn’t a famous painting or shouldn’t be well known, they’re just saying they prefer other styles of art.

Not liking anime is so isolating as a nerd because people find out I’m into nerdy stuff and all they want to do is recommend anime to me and talk about anime and I have to explain that I don’t like anime and won’t be watching that show they love (insert show here).

Star Wars. I really wanted to like it, I’m a huge nerd, but I just am not into it. I watched 4 and 5 and got maybe an hour into 6 and got up and walked away. I was so bored with the whole thing.

There’s a Winnie the Pooh episode where the characters are playing on Christopher Robin’s train set and the episode turns into a parody of a stereotypical Western with a train robbery and a Western town with a saloon and jail and all that.

In one scene they’re on the train and one character (I think Pooh, but it might be Piglet) appears out of nowhere. Another character questions his sudden, impossible appearance on a moving train in the middle of the desert and and Pooh/Piglet responds “it’s a fantasy”

I don’t know why that dumb joke stuck in my head, but sometimes when life gets to be too much I randomly think “it’s a fantasy” and things don’t really matter anymore or have to make sense.
