This is a perfect example of xenophobia descending to racism.

That said, if you can't appreciate anything in the massive catalog of Hayao Miyazaki masterpieces, I don't want to understand you.

Well, that AND wrestling has been tied to Anime since the late 70's/early 80's, thanks to Tiger Mask.

Plus the German Suplex rules. Why not hit your enemies (or a deer) with it? (Well, other than you can actually break someone's neck and kill them with the German.)

I got benched during a game of middle school football for doing that to the other team's running back.

You know there's multiple forms of anime, right?

The work of Masamune Shirow, for instance. No kids, loads of tanks.

Yeah I mean, on one hand otaku culture is definitely fraught with problems and I generally steer clear of people who self-identify as otaku/weeaboo because it can be a really gross form of cultural appropriation/fetishism.

But on the other, I would never dismiss masterworks like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Princess Mononoke and the like just because there's a reprehensible subculture beneath the perfectly acceptable mainstream stuff.

Did you really just type out cultural appropriation.

Man every post you make continues a steady decline. No clue how you think you can talk down to anyone.

Yep, cultural appropriation is a thing. Apologies if that's too high-brow for you; the term "weeaboo" is literally just the memetic equivalent of westerners appropriating otaku culture. Dunno why this needs to be explained, but there you go.
