Just because the general masses think someone is good, or that something is a good idea does NOT mean it is.
This is a truth I discovered from a practice I developed early on in life. Ya know I can't remember why I started but I remember the first time I did it. My favorite color was blue, I sat there thinking about it and realized almost all my friends favorite colors were blue. I didn't want to be like everyone else, I wanted a color no one else I knew called their favorite. At the time it was orange so that became my new favorite color and still is.
Most kids now and then want to fit, want to want what everyone else seems to. Not to offend anyone if they like him but case in point Justin Bieber. His fan base is a bunch of screaming little girls because its easy to sell to them. I'm sure people could sit there and say well I know this person and that person, but honestly for the most part screaming little girls.
If your a member of this site which most likely you are if your reading this, you are in all probability an Otaku. In which case you are already different than your average asshole. Liking anime, manga, video games or whatever your fandom is it makes you different from the masses. Many of you will lose this as you get older, I didn't find the otaku in me until I was 18 so it hasn't hit me. But I can already see it slipping away from some of my friends. If you lose interest in your fandom try to at least hang on to the passion you have for it, and don't give in to what other people want you to want.
