The Struggle with Standpoints

Maybe it's wrong of me to pigeon hole people, but it seems that there are various groups of anime fans that have been developed in the anime community that I have only come to notice over the past few months. Some are pretty obvious. The Otaku's and Lolicons are the most vocal anime fans, and as such, have the most notorious reputation due to their quest for finding entertainment from anything that has something to do with one of their favourite shows. I have been in an environment like that before, and I still keep in contact with a select few, even though I can't stand the majority of them. You then have Old-Schoolers and Elitests. These lot also have a reputation for being rather vocal. However, they are kind of like an "Anti Moe" group, so you can tell why they don't get on with Lolicons and such. You then have the newbs and gamers. Ok, not all gamers have crap taste, but most gamers I know certainly do.

Now, you may be wondering I bothered with such a short and generalising view of the anime community. Well, I just want to know is, where do I stand?

Every week it seems like I'm fitting into one of these catergories, then changing to another. For example, during the last anime season, I was keeping up with Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS and Zero no Tsukaima ~Futatsuki no Kishi~. At some point during that time, I was watching old stuff like Devilman Lady. Not only that, but my views change. I could be enjoying an anime and still try to purposely poke holes in it or find criticism.

I know I should be fair, but am I trying too hard to be free from bias?

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.

You spam my blog to advertise your own? Hell no. I don't even know what the hell your blog is about since it's not in English. Even if I knew, I still wouldn't put it on my "blogroll". You've never commented on the rest of my stuff. I don't know you, and you're not my friend. Get lost spamtard.

I'm leaving this retard's comment here as a warning to anyone thinking of spamming me.
