My girl does a radio show and she had a guest on who pointed out finding out his perspective girl is in to Anime would be an instant deal-breaker. Now my girl knows I like anime though I don't ever watch it with her 'cause she ain't a fan. She likes Zombies, I like zombie movies about as much as she likes anime so it works out.
Point is she asked me if that bugged me, or if it pissed me off, or something similar. To which I replied, I like all kinds of stupid crap, and I'm sure that guy does too. We can't all like the same stupid crap, so me may as well enjoy different stupid crap. If peeps think you love DBZ, who cares? They can't make fun of you for the anime you DO like because they don't even know enough about anime to know what stupid anime to make fun of.
Just like I don't know enough about Zombie movies to know what stupid zombie movies a true fanatic would like that I could make fun of. Just blow it off and keep going, that's all there is to it.
@RadioActiveChimp: Cleary you watch Dragon Ball Z Porn.
