Also, there is consistently complains about being looked down. But is painting the more "serious" side of the anime fandom as a bunch of joyless grumpy old men who lost the meaning of "having fun" really any better? I think they really gets entertainment from something else, that is not as "frivolous". i.e : The guys who are playing chess are having as much fun as those who plays Twister, because their fun is about outsmarting the other guy, trying to adapt the plan to the other guy's plan. It's a whole another brand of fun.

I don't paint people as angry old men because of the shows they watch. I paint them as angry nerds because of the vitriol they throw.
I don't hate everyone whose attitude I find caustic. For example, Reckoner and I have managed to negotiate a mutual respect of sorts, in part because he takes my positions seriously. I'd say that's the exception and not the rule though.
