1) I never said I don't like products from Japan. As can be seen here in this thread, that is a false assumption on your part. post #54 to be precise.ShogunGino said:If I my say, Mr. or Ms. devils X, as a fan and student of animation from around the world, I'm fine with you not liking products from Japan, but I don't think you've done a good job explaining yourself.Lil devils x said:snip
You don't specifically cite any characters or story arcs as examples of why you don't like Japanese animated media, in general. Your complaints are generalized, and it gives the impression that you are stereotyping without really understanding what it is that your are critical of.
You say that whoever came up with Cowboy Bebop should be beaten until they get some sense in them, but you don't point out specific moments or characters in the anime that you don't like to back up that claim, and it seems like you're just being antagonistic without any real justification. Especially when you rather negatively compare enjoying anime with enjoying eating bugs. (For the record, several countries do eat bugs that are actually high in various proteins and nutrients. You probably couldn't get me to eat them unless in desperation, but still, like any food, certain bugs are nutritious when prepared properly.)
I think those are more along the lines of why other posters have been irritated with your arguments, rather than being fanbois.

2) There is no reason for me to explain myself. If someone doesn't like something, they should not have to explain themselves. The idea that they should have to explain themselves is what is wrong here. If someone says they think broccoli is repulsive, I don't ask them why because I do not have a desire to defend it, nor is it my business why they don't like it. Now if I were a rampant nerd fanboi of broccoli, I would expect them to. There is a difference.
3)This thread is not about defending why you dislike something, nor is it about what is wrong with Anime, it is about " rampant nerd fanboisms you want to beat with a stick". So why would I go into great detailed discussion on what exactly is repulsive about Anime in a thread that is about Fanboism, and why would you feel obligated to ask me, when I specifically stated that why Anime fanboism is bad is because they continually seem to think that I have not seen the Anime they liked and that is why I hated it so they keep sending it to me to watch? Due to them sending me many different types of Anime because they are convinced theirs is the awesome of awesomeness and that I could not possibly dislike theirs I have found that the Anime they like is often worse than the ones I had viewed before that. It is the fact that Anime fanbois have the most difficult time understanding that there are people out there that are actually repulsed by something they like is what makes them the most annoying to me in the first place.
4)see #2 this isn't about Anime, it is about Anime fanboism. the fact that you think you even deserve an explanation is part of the problem here.
5)The fact that they are irritated at all is the very definition of fanboism as noted above by the definitions I linked earlier in this thread.
EDIT: And yes, it is She*
As far as I am concerned this Japanese cartoon is far superior to what they produce today:
