CATDOLL: A 14-year-old Japanese girl said: Anime is not disgusting, don’t impose “normal” on others

If a person likes anime, it is "easy to understand" if they are children, but if a person in his 20s or even 40s or 50s still likes anime, I believe most people will say something like "childish". It is not surprising that some people even ridicule them. In Japan, this discrimination is even more serious, and some students don't even dare to say that they like anime in school. So what is the reason why these anime fans or the anime industry itself are discriminated against?

Recently, a 14-year-old junior high school girl in Japan published an article about this kind of thing, which attracted everyone's attention. She wrote the article with the title "Don't impose 'normal' on others":

I love anime very much. I watch anime almost every day and collect peripherals. But because of this, I was badly criticized. I still remember words like "disgusting" and "you are abnormal".

Maybe for those who say such bad things, they do think that animation is disgusting and think that this idea is very common. But for me, liking animation is a "normal" thing. The so-called "normal" also varies from person to person.

Even if you look it up in a dictionary, it is still difficult to define what is "normal". However, some people impose their own "normal" on others and deny things they don't agree with. I think this is a bad habit of the Japanese.

Netizens have expressed different opinions on this. Everyone understands the principle of “Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you”, but how many people actually do it?
