uhm i was not really sure where to put this topic but its closly related.
well first off i loved anime and manga so far back into my early child hood. i remember dragon ball z, inuyasha and sailor moon. one thing that happened to me ever since i was a child i used to be bullied for that reason. i rarely whent out to talk to people and rarely did i play sports. also i was never quiet and kept on talking. people found me annoying and constantly bullied me, oh if people found out i watched sailor moon they would tare me apart.lol one thing that did change was that right around high school or specificly grade 10 i was around 6 feet 2 inches i was physically fit for some one who hated sports and kept to myself. but even still i was critized for reading or liking manga. i was wondering does this happen to users in fakku or am i the only one?

I get criticized for being a general cunt IRL. Funny thing is, I'm not actually sure what I did to deserve the title of "cunt", but I seem to find myself Friend Zone'd alot and people I call "friends" tend to backstab me quite a bit. Inb4TF2. I think I'm just too good natured and people think the worst of me because I have rather dark humour.
I was bullied in school alot for being overweight and having moobs, but all that changed when I got to year 10 (I was about 15) and I began answering back with snarky remarks and comments. I somehow never got into a fight, but the bullying did stop almost completely and some of the people in my year were actually pretty gobsmacked with the fact that I was standing up for myself, because I'd been a bit of a goody two-shoes but something inside my head just snapped.

never been bullied the closest thing was when someone found out I watched anime but I was 6"3,14, and because I was so "big and black" people didn't fuck with me. And those are their words

I've never been bullied and never will. Hell I'm pretty much a ghost at my school. Yeah I'm that silent and sarcastic bastard that doesn't really say too much. I know how to talk people, I'm not shy, I just don't like talking to people because my school is filled with fags. I think people know I like anime and I would laugh my ass off if someone tried to "bully" me for it. I'm somewhat fit, not fat or skinny, not tall or short, just sort of average size and build.

The downside for me being so immersed in anime/manga back when i was 13-15 was the lack of time to cope with other subjects in life. I lost track of pretty much everything such as the latest trends , conversation topics etc
Bullying never really came, even if it did was due situations unrelated to my otaku lifestyle (I was famous for being the middleman between the students and the disciplinary master when i came to pointing out underaged smokers)
In all, if one manges to balance both IRL and anime/manga, life shouldn't be too hard. You wouldn't particularly shine out in both sides, but do you really need to?

Really at my school, no one really cared, yeah my friends teased me about it but just in good natured kind of way, like I was reading Spice & Wolf and my friend says "so, your into tentacle porn" I held up the book and said "I'm more into furries" stuff like that happens all the time. I don't know, maybe it's because my school was mostly pasty white kids.

I've loved anime since I was about 8, and have always loved it. Thinking about it, nothing ever happened in my school years that made me feel bullied, embarrassed, undignified or anything close due to the fact that I love anime. My friends loved me and though they do tease me on anime from time to time there was never ill-will intended.
From my experience, sports are a great way to know people, and a great way to stay healthy. I would recommend that you go out more often and take up some kind of sport, for i know that I've made lots of friends through competitive sporting, and it also makes you much more self-confident.
Truth is, life's full of people who just don't bother with understanding others. Thinking about it, if that's the case for them, then why would you even bother on their opinions? Learn to ignore them.

I've loved anime since I was 6 (now 23 and still loving it), and yes I did used to get bullied because of that, among other things. However right now the people who bullied me come crawling looking for work opportunities (I've been doing well professionally) and lick my boots, and I tell them I still love anime, therefore they should watch it too if they want to get a shot. Needless to say they do it and I make sure they get rejected and laugh my ass off.

Back in grade school Doraemon, Sailor Moon, and DBZ were everyone's childhood, I never got bullied because of it. I had good grades and was pretty good with video games, so I often studied together or played games with the boys.
In middle school I became an antisocial. Used to smoke alone while listening to my CD player behind the school. The 'cool kids' found my hideout, listened to my playlist, and said I had pretty good taste. Introduced them to The Cure, RHCP, Jamiroquai, Radiohead, STP and more. We became bros afterwards. They knew I'm an otaku, didn't really give a fuck, they only teased me sometimes. Girls made fun of me though, called me a junkie, loser etc, I didn't give a fuck.
Moved to a different high school, friend count reset to 0. I found cooking as a hobby, got ridiculed and called gay by the girls.
Got myself new friends from playing basketball on school breaks. DOTA was all the rage that time, so the ten of us often chilled out in the net cafe.
Now at uni, still keeping in touch with some high school bros and a few old friends from middle school. Facebook friend list is the new e-penis. People said I have no life for watching cartoons and not having 200 friends on my FB. What the fuck.
Right now I'm working my ass off to buy figures and shit,everyone knows but no one cares except my parents. One day my bros introduced me to some important people who work in a EO company, now I can get free concert tickets once in a while, making people jelly everytime.
Bitches still calling me a loser yet they're always wondering why the jocks and cool boys are hanging out with that same loser. Feels good man.

Never got bullied in school on account of anime, since at that time (I'm talking about primary school) most kids were into the whole DBZ/Sailor Moon/Pokémon scene. I did get bullied later on, but I didn't like anime by that point, so it was for different reasons. Bullying pretty much stopped for me round the tail end of high school.
I like anime nowadays and while one obviously wouldn't be "bullied" for it in an adult environment, I do get more than a few "good-natured ribbings" from my mates. Most of the time I take it in stride and laugh with it, though sometimes it starts to rub me the wrong way if they start harping on it.

Getting bullied is a just a part of life. Unfortunately, some people take it too far, for whatever the reason. As such, I was bullied when I was in junior high, up to my freshman year in high school. Anime/manga was never the reason; in my school you weren't bullied for trivial stuff like that. I guess my school was just filled with an infinite amount of trolls. Trolls everywhere.
My reason was for being the nerd. I loved and still love books. 2-3 books a week was my usual cuota, so I was trolled for being the bookworm. Funny thing was, I was physically imposing in those years, several inches taller and bigger built than all the kids in my class, but I've always had a laid-back attitude, so I was just the easiest, non-threatening target. When it got taken too far, I told the trolls off, simply bringing the horrible truths of their lives to light; worked every time. The worst troll that tried to get me, I counter-trolled so bad that he actually left the school in shame. After that I kept my distance from kids in my class, prefering to fraternise with my out of school friends, who were much cooler anyway.
Just remember. You can't change who you are at your core. It would be like reinventing yourself as a complete stranger. Learn to love eveything about yourself, no matter how weird or cooky it might be. Then, things like bullies will rub off you, because they'll be the awkward ones, picking at a person who doesn't give a damn.

Yeah, when you legitimately demand better treatment, you usually get it. I scared the shit out of this blonde dipshit who was in my freshman Bio class. She wouldn't shut up or let me do my job, so I stalked her across the classroom calmly [but, frighteningly... apparently] telling her I'd had enough of her shit. She shaped up after that. I never needed to lay a finger on her. <3
Spoiler:
To the OP:
Everyone is going to be criticized by someone for some reason or another, this is a simple fact of life. What's important is that you make decisions you can live with. Be who you are and don't apologize for it. If someone tries to start shit over it, don't let them. I'm not saying go all Columbine on their ass, but definitely don't tolerate it.
I was bullied in middle school. By the time I got to my freshman year in highschool, I had gotten sick of it enough to where, I just stopped giving my peers power. I deserved better, and I demanded respect. I've never laid a finger on anyone, but have always managed to get my point across. The trick is to maintain eye contact, a steady voice, and to say exactly what you mean. Show no fear.
