Opposite of the Anime Fanboy. Just as annoying. The other side of the same douchy coin.
Someone who dislikes
anime (and more often and importantly, it'
s fans) to such to a point that "hater" is applied. This usually implies a dislike for something no matter what. Without exception.
Just as
anime fankids go on and on about how testicle tickling
anime is and why Jesus would have loved it. Anime haters go on and on about why tentacle
porn and Dragonball Z with bring about Armageddon and how they totally hate obsessed people that aren't the obsessed people obsessed over the obsessed people obsessed with
anime.
More often than not spend a tremendous amount of time online picking fights with anime fans. Then, referring to them as obsessive and/or defensive or, overly sensitive when they fight back. They tend to move beyond the state of simply disliking the format and into a state where they are more concerned with confronting anime fans with said dislike to the point of obsession. It's not enough to not watch
anime, the
anime. They need to belittle those that do.
Usually resort to petty annoyance tactics and trolling when confronted by an intelligent response or counter argument.
Invariably resort to the same tired set of tactics, responses and examples such as cosplay, tentacle porn and Dragonball Z. As if cherry picking the worst examples is somehow a good way to gauge a whole style of art (not including sub-genres).
You can dislike
anime all you want and be a normal person who simply doesn't dig
anime. It takes a certain kind of
asshole to be considered an
anime hater though.
If an
anime hater held every format of entertainment by the inconceivable scrutiny they hold
anime to, in terms of judging said format by the least of it's peers, these poor
people wouldn't do anything at all.
