Well, you've moved beyond flippant into simply 
being pissy and rude. Congratulations! I thought 
I could expect a serious debate from you, but I 
suppose I was wrong. To simply take what I stated 
above and turn me into a ranting racist is not 
only insulting, it clearly shows your ignorance. 
You seem to confuse the words "opinion" 
and "fact." This is a common mistake among 
maniacal people. You believe your opinion to be 
fact, end of story. You were obviously offended 
by what people had to say, otherwise you would 
not have written your post cotemning their 
statements.

An opinion is something anyone may possess. It 
has little to do with fact. Philosophy 101 stuff. 
An "informed" opinion is no closer to being a 
fact, or a truth, than an opinion. I can sit and 
read books all day about a subject, but if the 
books I am reading are questionable in terms of 
fact, then I am not really informed am I? When 
enough people believe the opinion, it becomes a 
truth. When that truth is proven to have actual 
real world credibility, it becomes fact.

Your first post was condescending and rude, and 
you came off sounding like you were some sort of 
anime guru. You are right, art does not exist in 
a vacuum. However, that does not mean that we 
can't move on in terms of what we as a society 
find enjoyable. The new generation of anime 
viewers can be taught to respect what Akira did 
for anime, but they can still call it a piece of 
crap if they want. You can break it down line by 
line if you want, I still don't buy your logic. 
Can you except the fact that I don't agree with 
you? Obviously not, now that you are calling me a 
racist on this forum instead of taking the time 
to realize what my analogy was really about. But 
then again, you never do listen, do you?
