saw a post about weird weebs accusing people of "liking Gundam for clout" and I am OBSESSED with this concept. "yeah I'm into plastic robots and a 45 year old Japanese cartoon" ah yes this is totally the clout I want to wield.

Those people are just jealous that we like the best genre. They wish their anime could have characters with names as cool as Full Frontal and Amandara Kamandara.
one of those weirdos actually tried to quiz me at a con about “oh so you say you like this shit, name one of Char’s aliases” while I was wearing a Haman costume
(I went with “Édouard Mass” to be an asshole and he had to Google it)
This is true! A lot of weebs I've dated, guys or girls honestly, get really intimidated or weirded out when I explain my anime taste. I think that's actually where that knee-jerk reaction of accusing people of cloutchasing comes from, along with misogyny.
"Yeah I risk lung damage by sanding down over 200+ gunpla model kits for almost a decade and cutting their nibs and giving myself arthritis for clout" 🙃🫠🙃🫠🙃🫠
this is... an Interesting Concept because usually when i'm at anime cons and people ask me what anime i like and i say Gundam, half of them don't know what it is and the other half only know about the Plastic Robots..... 🥲

Regular anime nerds: “…dude I just wanted to talk about how cool Naruto vs Pain was”

What if you just tell people you liked G?
Everyone loves G.
