Today, my boyfriend called me and I told him about the AnimeCon I'm attending, and that I wanted to go as Sailor Mars, he told me he had no idea what that was. After being mad for about ten minutes, I realized that I wanted to break up with him over not knowing what Sailor Moon was. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his parents and siblings for the first time. Their first reaction was, "Oh? You're her? All this time we thought you're some cartoon character from yet another lousy anime he keeps babbling about." FML
Today, at a Con, I saw a girl in an impressive cosplay of a character from one of my favorite video games. I complimented her on her costume and got a picture with her. Later, my girlfriend called me a cheating creep and broke up with me. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because apparently I need to "grow up". He's the one who excessively plays Call of Duty and still has Pokémon and Bionicles in his room. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me for knowing more about Batman than he does. He's only seen some of the movies, and as a kid my dad owned a comic book store. He still doesn't see why I should know more, because I'm a girl, and "girls aren't supposed to know about superheroes." FML
Today, I went to a wedding with my boyfriend. He became moonstruck with one my friends and said she looked sexy in her dress. The whole night, I was nonexistent to him. He’s now confused as to why I’m giving him the silent treatment. He literally has no clue. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up because we got into a fight over what color that confusing black and blue and white and gold dress was. FML
Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years said he would finally take me somewhere romantic. I spent my day at a Star Wars convention. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I had the worst fight of our relationship, and I’m not sure we’re going to make it. Why? Because out of all his hobbies and interests that I’ve happily joined in on, I said I had no interest in Harry Potter. FML
Today, I told my husband we could have a "him" day, visit the comic book and games stores, then watch anime. He refused to believe I was genuine, and asked what bad thing I did that I was trying to make up for. We ended up not doing any of it because he thinks I can’t be nice to him without a motive. FML

How old are you? Ten? You don't break up with someone for that kind of reason.

Maybe you should break up with him. You're obviously too childish to be in a relationship with someone anyway, if you get pissed because they don't know what a Sailor Mars is. Your boyfriend deserves better than you.

Okay, so obviously, the original thought was childish. However, you seemed to recognize this as a silly reason to be upset. It's a good thing if you're mature enough to catch something like that in yourself before you take it too far.

So yes, there are some people who hate anime, some people who think it's alright, some people who like/love it, and then people who are neutral about it because they choose not to be on either side of the fence. What is absolutely ridiculous is the fact that people automatically assume that others who like anime are complete losers. That's isn't true for the most part. Yes, there are the stereotypical anime fans who have acne (I'm not helping my cause on that one, but guess what? IT'S NOT MY FAULT. It's in my genetics!) I did comment on this before saying that the OP is blowing it completely out of proportion. Though she didn't state that she actually broke up with her boyfriend, I don't think it's entirely a smart idea just to consider breaking up with someone because they don't know what a specific anime show is... I wouldn't get pissed off about it; I'd probably end up seeing if they're interested in it at all, and continue to explain. That's just me though. I agree with people who say she shouldn't have been so out of proportion about it, but it's not like I'm one of the people who hate anime (if you knew me personally, you would know it's the complete opposite. I love it because it's interesting, and apart of another culture. Depending on the show you're watching, the art can be very good too). Yes, you were acting way over the top about it, but hopefully you didn't do the wrong thing. Try to be more accepting. Don't fly off the handle if someone says that they don't know what/which anime you're talking about. I'm also sorry that people are being condescending towards you just for being anime. You realized your mistake. You don't need to listen to their negativity. =] (Oh shit this comment is huge... I hate it when I go type-happy)
