      you wouldn’t happen to be born in the 70s? I have a Gen X friend who has the very same mindset, I’m curious to see how much of that era’s culture drives the dislike towards anything russian, japanese or otherwise ‘communist’

      he is a reader and refuses to read metro 2033 because the author is russian.

      he likes transformers but hates eastern anime.

      what’s your take on the subject?

          do you always get hung up on verbal ambiguity? that has got to be exhausting.

          how about this; Otherwise a part of the Axis powers. Does that verbage tickle your giblets?

        Born in 84, loved Saber Rider and The Star Sheriffs and the like. Never was a fan of that typical wacky behavior in Anime. Plus I liked Saber Rider and others in spite the art style.

        And as time went by, I got more and more annoyed of being bombarded with Anime almost anywhere. (That’s how I imagine not being a Star Wars fan when new stuff is out) Plus it seemed to become a beast of its own with huge eyes, screaming and so much cuteness, it makes me puke. It’s just not for me.

        And I loved Metro 2033, even though I never made it past the first two chapters of 2034. It just didn’t click.

        So, no. No lefty, nor right. Only human.

          it’s not all like that at all, and i guess i don’t understand the mindset of being annoyed by other people posting about things they like…

            They never said, that they are annoyied by other ppl liking/posting it. They don’t like it, so they block it in order to not see things they don’t enjoy.
