I don’t care for any of it. I don’t like comic books and I don’t like Star Wars either.
We are the same person. I also don’t like Star Trek or any of the other star* shows.
Wtf is this question?
OP has been in a lengthy struggle with the world over media. They swore off manga previously due to “christian morals” and the fact that Zombieland Saga contained zombies, then got back into it because of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, and now it seems they’ve hit another block within the last month.
And it’s not just manga. They’ve also had an issue with Wikipedia.
like most things, some of it is very good but the vast majority of it is extremely poor. I wouldn’t say I like or dislike it as a rule but I’d say on average I dislike it by far, and when it’s bad it has a way of being very intolerably bad.
Right, but you deleted it so we can’t.
Why say something so pointless. Just tell people how you feel about it instead of basically saying “You’d know how I feel about it if you knew how I feel about it”.
Those are pretty broad categories. It’s like asking “Does anybody dislike cartoons and comics?”
To my utter dismay, I’ve learnt that there are some people who find that question entirely sensible and normal.
I know people who will refuse to watch anything animated or comic related

I have to disagree.
Comics is a huge, world-encompassing category of media in which events & stories are depicted through (generally) simplified art with text insertions. Manga (for example) is a subset of comics, being both specific to a single country as well as existing as a certain style of comics.
Personally I’d add that manga tends to exist under fairly tight conventions in terms of how things are visually portrayed and in terms of how information and context is given towards the reader. For example, kind of like emojis, there’s a bunch of facial reactions and certain simple phrases that instantly tell you what mood or reaction a character or the author is trying to impart. This kind of thing isn’t surprising to me either, as Japan tends to heavily codify cultural tradition, even in a relatively new-ish field like manga. There’s also the fact that an enormous tradition in manga came out of aping or riffing on the early creators, primarily Tezuka Osamu I’d say.
So, point is-- one can dislike a certain niche or branch of comics, but that certainly doesn’t have any special impact on how one likes comics in general. Personally I’m not a huge fan of manga, and superhero comics bore the tights off me, and I’m not as much a fan of underground comics as I used to be, but overall I’m a huge fan of the comics medium, and of course love me some BD, part of why I try to make a new post daily.
Manga is the Japanese word for comics. There are many different styles and inspirations by a myriad of artists.
It’s like saying all cartoons are the same as Disney, or all comics are basically Superman.
Yes, “manga” is the Japanese word for comics, but in terms of the overall, world genre of comics? It specifically refers to comics within a certain style, ~99% of it being Japanese-made.

Yes, those are some nonsensical falsisms. Thanks for randomly stating them?
Every time I get downvoted for pointing out the rampant and casual pedophilia plaguing anime, I hate weebs a little bit more.
This. I don’t partake in anything anime related and I’m mostly neutral on it as a whole, but the prevalence of pedophilia and related themes is highly disturbing as is the lack of pushback against it from the community.
And, that being said, the people who make anime their entire personality are also… difficult to be around.
