Yeah this is the problem with weebdom and any hobby tbh. If you have to justify it to people and have to brag about how you're cultured for doing so, you're a faggot plain and simple. People like George give anime an even worse rep than it already has by doing shit like this. I'm convinced he's doing the Matt Walsh shit for clout at this point, guy probably wants to be ben garrison for the daily wire. Walsh on the other hand is being a retard when he says all anime is degenerate without even being able to justify it like null does. Null at least said it's all hypersensitive and sexualized cause the japs have singed nerves and destroyed senses from warcrimes, I disagree with that but it's a good justification. Walsh just says anime is satanic and creates more troons, the second half of which is true but I don't think he can explain why. Anime doesn't create mentally ill people, mentally ill people consoom anime and let it fuck with their brain.
I don't think Anime creates troons anymore than Chuck E Cheese's & Panel vans create pedophiles, or violent TV creates violent kids.
Yes, violent kids are drawn to violent shows. And yes, if a child is put in front of the Murder & Assault channel 24/7, the only fallback options they'll know is violence. As long as they are given context, guidence and alternatives, a child can enjoy televised violence, separate TV from real life, and not be a violent little shithead at school.
All troons like cartoons, Japanimation is just the current go to. Because they are nearly all autistic and with the childlike uwu voices, overly emotive/expressive faces that clearly convey emotion, and convenient "logic" that doesn't extent more than 5 minutes either way.
Anime is gay and for kids, and if you aren't secure enough with yourself to enjoy what you enjoy without having to justify it to strangers then you aren't a real man.
This screed should have been "Lol, ok bro. I'll watch what I want to watch. PS your waifu is trash."
To play devil's advocate, weebs may be able to win this argument by asking "You think Berserk is for kids too?"
But yet again, their brainrot has developed too much to allow them to make a response that isn't a massive word salad mixed with coping and seething.
Walsh may have been in the wrong, but what george said was much worse and proved his point by also being gay and childish.
That description goes better with Fist of the north star but I get your point.
A lot of people goes against the idea of aninations being solely for children, something that has been normalized by many thanks to Disney and anime is their go to whenever looking for a valid point, followed by Shrek.
Weebs acts as if anime are some kind of heavenly gift but let me put things out straight:
90% of anime and 99% of mangas are absolute trash, in term of either writing, character and especially tropes, with those few titles that are actually good being more of an exception than a rule.
There are 9 shitty 90 episodes long magical girl cartoons for every episode of Madoka Magica.
There are 9 bad Dragon Ball spin-offs ready to throw DBZ in the dust.
There are 9 fairy tail and naruto for every story arc of One piece.
There are 9 isekai with insufferable heroes for each episode of a still poorly adapted Berserk.
There are 9 beastars for every night on the intergalactic railroad.
And finally, there are 29.0540540541 episodes of detective conan for each of Death note.
That's true of every genre. The saying goes, "Ninety percent of everything is crap." It's sometimes called Sturgeon's Law because it was thusly codified by the eponymous pulp science fiction author in response to accusations of low quality in his field. I think that, being generous, the response from the modern Korean flipbook connoisseur would be that while 90% of anime may be crap, the percentage of the adage applied to Western media tends towards 100%.

I guess I mean Berserk is for people who are mentally children I should say.
And there is not a damn thing wrong with that, but people try to turn it into some deep epic when its "Axecop without censors".
A better example of Japanimation for adults is Ghost in the Shell:SAC/2nd GIG, which is going to be too slow for most adults to sit through.
I don't know anyone who views animation solely for kids. You have Adult Swim catalog, Ricky and Morty, Family Guy, which at the very least are aimed at college kids - hardly intellectual giants; It doesn't mean these shows are deep introspective classics, but they are not meant to entertain the under 10 crowd. You also have things like Looney Tunes, Shrek-series, a fair bit of Nickeloeon's 90s output, where the intended audience is children but there are wink-nod references and jokes that are clearly meant for the parents.
The vocal pro-anime crowd, however, keep trying to come out to explain how a bunch of highschool girls fondling each other's tits in a hotspring is deep introspective media for the mentally adroit.
Anyway, Like Berserk, like soap operas, like professional wrestling, like jerking it to anime tiddy, but stop pretending that its some deep pursuit.
In the words of CS lewis:
C.S. Lewis said:
“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
Anime is gay and for kids, and if you aren't secure enough with yourself to enjoy what you enjoy without having to justify it to strangers then you aren't a real man.

Remember folks, it's OK for people to not like THAT THING YOU LIKE, it doesn't make them bad people and no, under no circumstance are they required to justify for you why they dislike THAT THING YOU LIKE. Let people like what they like and dislike what they don't and fucking move on with your life.
Wow, he hit the frontpage of Reddit MULTIPLE times! That means he's stood shoulder to shoulder with such creative, culturally defining intellectual hits as these:
Getting frontpaged on Reddit is an honor only bestowed upon the highest quality content.
This guy manages to be correct in the most insufferable ways and I just end up really disliking him and wishing he wasn't saying things I agree with.
This multi-month long sperg-out against' Walsh is a prime example. I think he's entirely right that you don't win people over to your side by not engaging with their interests and putting them down.
Suggesting that most of the things people take enjoyment in are inherently evil is a fucking retarded take and if George had simply said he strongly disagreed with Walsh on that and left it at an offer to talk genuinely about why he feels anime is not stupid, degenerate or for kids then it would have been fine.
Instead he has to randomly launch into long strings of bitchy tweets which seem to be totally unprovoked and just come off as a faggot with the thinnest of skin.
Same with his recent sperging about Evangelion. I haven't watched it and have no attachment to it but he just comes off as incredibly bitter over a 30 year old show that he suddenly decided he didn't like anymore while also insulting anyone that does happen to like it.
It's good to engage with people on what they like and find some common ground in those interests. Recognizing that a lot of anime does play to pretty masculine feelings/desires is good but he always throw a fit once someone has a different opinion.
Gprime is still riding the Trump train grift hard.
Today's drama starts with some unhinged Trump fan undressing herself in public after being told she can't wear a politician's merchandise in the polling booth.
George loves playing the victim, so he too decided to go to his local polling booth, knowing that wearing bipartisan political clothing is against the rules, in order to get himself kicked out and enjoy some sweet, sweet victimhood and maybe even a shout out from JD Vance.
Unfortunately for him, it backfired. He didn't get kicked out, he just had to take his hat off and put it back on after leaving. Not only that, but he also got community-noted, which explained that electioneering has been illegal since the 40s in New Jersey.
Fortunately, it seems his experience finally taught him what "voting laws" are, if this schizopost is anything to go by:
To cope, he started writing fanfiction to try and larp as if New York or New Jersey are having secret quiet majority trumper uprising (they aren't, NY and NJ fucking hate Trump)
He also revealed that he's the worst kind of driver. A flaggot.
He seems to have Tim Pool's mentality of believing he's going to lead some kind of Turner Diaries type civil war resistance movement against the evil meanie leftists with his fellow based trump supporters. Also New Jersey is in no way a purple or swing state, New Jersey has voted for the Democratic party in every election since 1992.
But, in reality, behind all of his bluster, he is DEATHLY afraid of the idea of Trump losing the election, which is why he's shutting out anyone with genuine criticisms of him or his 2024 campaign (including other conservatives!)
He's been pulling pro-Trump Puerto Rican friends (in New Jersey) out of his ass who supposedly loved Tony Hinchcliffe's jokes:
Abortion was probably the worst choice he could've used in this comic, ignoring the logistics how or why of a crowd of every woman in a given city would be lining up for the free-abortion van, the woman protesting by not voting clearly isn't being harmed by the crowd's independent actions.
He's spent every moment since Trump's disastrous Madison Square Garden Rally with Kill Tony seething at newspaper companies for daring to use the "r-word" to describe the rhetoric on display during the rally.
For some reason, he really thinks that Trump doing a photo-op at a closed-down Mcdonalds is some kind of pivotal emotional moment in American history (rather than a meme that will be spread en masse if he loses):
>"having so little on your resume"
>saying this to the sitting vice president who got her start acing one of the most difficult bar exams in the world and worked as the CA District Attorney before becoming vice president
Most normal people look at shit like this and laugh at it for being obvious cosplay. People mocked Lana Del Ray for doing it at Waffle House just last year.
Like, he REALLY thinks that this stunt is a major epic own on Kamala, he's referenced it in three comics already:
His current comics have been a pretty repetitive cycle of "Kamala spooked by orange man" since the debate happened. If Kamala wins, this man's meltdown will make the history books.
