Like seriously. I have heard countless times that not reading manga doesn’t make you a "real" anime fan. I call this bulllshitt. Why do I need to earn the title of an "anime fan"? Why should that matter to anyone really? I like watching anime, who tf gives a demn if some 15 year old says I aint a real anime fan, like why should I care? Why would that title ever matter to me or anyone else?

Larping is one thing and not wanting to read is another thing.
