It's okay to hate anime, and I hope I'm not reading that you hate the people that READ it (I don't, but a lot of my good friends do).

Here's a fact:

If you read normal books, you're smart. You can read, you're literate, blah blah blah...

If you read any type of comic or graphic novel, it actually means you're smarter. A lot of teachers give kids graphic novels to read in school because it makes a topic easier to understand, but that isn't true. It makes the topic more engaging, yes, but it is NOT easier to understand a graphic novel, let alone a backwards one (based on polls).

So if you hate the people, respect them at least, because they're smart.
