Not to mention a lot of anime barely has any real plot line.

Besides a few super mature anime, like akira and ghost in the shell, what is the appeal of the stuff?

For some people... there isn't any. They just want to watch GOOD seinen (mature) anime. Seinen isn't the only good genre, though, so those people usually miss out on other enjoyable content because they're not willing to try expanding their taste.

The stupid cheesy as fuck humor

There's a lot of humor types used in anime. If you're referring to the ones used in the trope saturated section of the medium, I'd argue that you shouldn't watch those alone if you're trying to fairly judge anime in general.

the cringeworthy character acting

English, Japanese, or both? I have a friend who just doesn't like voice acting in general.

every person who is into anime seems like a giant troll.

Oh come on OP, don't use us as a reference for all weebs (that and I'm not really sure what you mean).

It's almost like my little pony a little bit, when I see the anime avatars and stuff.

You'd have to elaborate a little on this, but animation style is widely varied and I haven't seen one emulating the animation style of mlp. Maybe I'm watching too many seinen. 

There's quite a bit that is artistic, well-animated, and carried by a unique story. Just get away from the shojo and shonen crap.

Nah. Even Ghost in the Shell was retarded as fuck.

Well, you know I like taking some cheap shots at people and stuff like that. I don't actually think that all people who are into anime avatars are giant trolls. I just look at people with anime avatars the same way I do people who have mlp avatars I guess. They're both kind of dopey and childish, they seem like something that tends to piss people off. It doesn't really piss me off, but I was just drawing that comparison because I like having something to talk about in the OP I guess.

When I talk about cheesy as fuck humor I dunno if it's the voice acting or the expressions of the characters. It seems like there's so many anime that I watch that just make me cringe when I watch them, because the characters are cheesy and make me embarrassed to watch it. That usually doesn't happen in really good, mature anime.

Finally something I agree with you on

lol um what

"I really don't understand live-action TV"
"I really don't understand novellas"
"I really don't understand stop motion animation"

See why it's dumb to treat mediums like they're genres?

yeah but it's a known fact that animu is trash

I really don't understand video games.

Besides a few super mature video games, like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto, what is the appeal of the stuff? The stupid cheesy as fuck humor, the cringeworthy character acting, every person who is into video games seems like a giant troll. It's almost like my little pony a little bit, when I see the video game avatars and stuff.

If you honestly thought this, I would respect your opinion and I wouldn't find it ridiculous or unfair at all.

So... Failure.

Fuck you. People who do this kind of post are assholes.

I really don't understand movies

Fuck you.

Actually, that almost seems to be exclusive with anime fans. I've met people who've said things like "I don't like movies" or "I don't like TV shows", and especially "I don't like books."

I don't see anything wrong with any of those. So why is it so hard for anime fans to accept the fact that some people will just NEVER like their shit? Why do they get so asshurt when someone says "I don't like anime"?

What did Berzerk post?

A gif of some anime whore's breasts being squeezed in a ridiculously over-the-top way.
