    memes aside, this argument is batshit insane. You can watch an anime without having read the manga. You can like derivative works without having consumed the source material. It’s ok. let people like things

      Sorry for the late getting to this but I’ve got over 500 messages in my fuckin’ inbox…

      I’m with you. The behavior is genuinely one reason why I haven’t bothered with a lot of anime. The few times I have I’ve been criticisized like a motherfucker for it being dubbed over subbed or a certain version or whatever and I got exhausted and checked out entirely.
