Not sure if this belongs in the Q&A section of this board (as this is a really stupid question), but at any rate, given the stuff Null has pointed out on why he doesn't like anime, does it make one "lesser" to be a fan of anime, given his reasons for disliking it?
AUTISTIC VENTSLOP AHEAD
He's not wrong that anime is direct, but he's wrong that the appeal is in autism. From what I've seen, a lot of the appeal is that anime offers stories rooted in Japanese mythology and religion, but with those overt Japanese elements stripped away and replaced with sci-fi or Western culture. Nobody likes anime for bug-eyed characters with easy-to-read faces and recognizable hairstyles or constant exposition, and not everyone likes anime for goonslop. People like anime for giving them stories nothing like the Christian/pagan myth-inspired stuff they've seen before. It's a bit like a white person exploring Buddhism and coming to think Buddhism is so deep and flawless just because it's different from Abrahamic religion. This is why old movies and OVAs are so compelling -- there's a post on this site that talks about how even stuff like Saber Marionette and Gowcaizer make the effort to draw from various social issues, Asian myths, and religions. Even low-rated/disliked anime, like Samy Missing 99, Legend of Duo, ICE, and 6 Angels, are enjoyable to me for these reasons. Even highly sexual shows like Aquarion, Divergence Eve, or Virus Buster Serge can be good if they create a story and world by blending several real-life myths, religions, and social issues together in an intelligent and creative way. However, being able to recognize this means you should realize that anime isn't as good or original as you thought -- it just came from a different culture --, and so you shouldn't place it on such a high pedestal.
Does watching anime make you lesser? Maybe, but I honestly don't know anymore at this point. I recently met a guy in orchestra, and he meets every benchmark of success. He's good at his instrument, and he's doing very well in a competitive STEM field (not computer science or engineering btw). He's also really into CGDCT anime and watches a Vtuber, which surprised me. He doesn't come across as a pedophile, a hentai consumer, or a closet tranny, but he is Asian. When he talks about his favorite slice of life anime, he doesn't talk about how "cute" the girls are or whatever; he tells me that he wrote essays in high school exploring the themes of each episode. He's undeniably better adjusted and less autistic (both in the actual sense and the funny Kiwi Farms sense) than me as well. I wish Der Kulturkampf could give us exact rules to live by, but this stuff has no bearing on normies, and reality is more nuanced. As I've gotten busier and started to develop some social skills, I've found myself more and more bored by anime. Perhaps it's burnout, but maybe I'm now getting from other places the feeling of adventure and discovery which exploring and watching anime gave me. The last point is something Null missed when discussing why anime is linked to political extremism. Both sell themselves as "secret clubs" and make you feel like you're watching super secret media/learning super secret knowledge and transcending the "normies" in an easy way.
Null's reason for disliking anime is because he generalizes the writing as "autism friendly". But anime is a massive media. All you have to do is look past the Top 50 and you'll find thousands of shows without "autism friendly" writing.
This is just false. Even elitist shows like LOGH have autistic traits (easily-differentiable hair colours and lots of exposition). Even Tomino shows have a tendency towards exposition for story (though not for character). This is also true in old OVAs -- I watched an OVA recently (Vampire Wars) and the ending was an exposition dump talking about how the vampires are actually aliens trying to protect humanity from hostile races (or something like that, I was half-asleep). Shows like Divergence Eve that are stingier with exposition still explain everything via info dumps rather than organically weaving every plot point into a conclusion that doesn't need explanation.
Aren't you using hianime.to? Found it pretty easy to use.
It doesn't have anything more obscure.
