Well, it is a tad creepy when you're a 50+ year old man with a camera taking pictures of girls in cosplay at conventions, only to later swim around the Dealer's Hall looking for manga that's clearly meant for children.

But, you know, that's just if you don't want to fit in like the rest of us.

Not really. Anime is pretty mainstream these days. Only parents seem to think it's "kid's stuff", and even that is changing.

Nope, I don't take that kind of BS. There's kid version of everything in this day and age. That's the same thing as saying movies and books are for children...pssh, what hypocrites.

I actually love it! Because if somebody says that Anime is kiddy stuff I just show them some of that really disturbing crap like Genocyber, Gantz, Apocalypse Zero and after they watched it, I ask if they would actually show this to there son/daughter.

Thats a bit hard to do, since most of the things I show are really gruesome, but it does the job nevertheless.

That's exactly it, then they may form another bad stereotype about anime. Violent and (from another thread) Hentai. Hahahaha, I'm kidding of course.
