Me (19M) and my ex (22F) just broke up but we promised to be friends. I called her stuff uninteresting and said I acted older than her because she watches dumb shows like anime, Beavis and Butthead, etc. Stupid stuff. I’m 19, I don’t like that crap. I don’t mean it in a mean way, though.
You should really try out some genuinely good Anime before writing it off. FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Frieren are both good. Just because it’s drawn, doesn’t mean it’s “cartoons”. Take the show Arcane for example – the art style was made to look painted. Same with Anime, it’s just they use the drawn style to portray their story.
She’s a GOATed for liking Beavis and Butthead though. That shit is classic.
Thank you, I just don’t like anime and I’m very blunt
That’s a bit like saying you don’t like Italian cinema. It may well be true but I tend to doubt you’ve seen enough of it to really say that. That’s also not what you got in trouble with your ex for saying. You called her interests stupid.
They’re not stupid. I’m not a fan of Beavis and Butthead either but I wouldn’t tell someone who is that the show is stupid, no matter our romantic relationship or lack thereof. It’s rude and (in this case) cruel.
You keep saying that like it’s an immutable fact about yourself. It certainly isn’t.
If there’s something about her watching the show that’s legitimately bothering you (example: playing things you hate at talking volume or higher while you’re around), you should have had that conversation.
If it’s just the fact that someone enjoys something you don’t … that’s a really unpleasant attitude to be around.
