Question of the Day: what's an opinion/take on a media thing you care about (#TV #movies #videogames #anime #manga #books #comics #music #sports #ttrpg, etc) that's pretty common among people not into it that bothers you a lot?

(it doesn't have to be on a specific property it can be just on the genre/hobby as a whole too, etc)

@ami_angelwings hmmm... Maybe that "everyone with an anime girl icon is automatically a Nasty Person", of course I know that this stereotype exists for a reason, but there are so many LGBTQ anime fans, anime fans of color, and of course allies. Sometimes I have seen transphobes complain about being ganged up on by "anime avatars" and that makes me happy. A new (and much better) reputation!

I just really love Sailor Moon. Nothing nasty. It caught me when I was a kid, surrounded by strong female family members. Seemed a natural bit of entertainment to me. I wouldn’t be caught dead with a Sailor Moon avatar for exactly this reason: the stereotype.

@thatnerddave @ami_angelwings my love for the character in my icon overrides the stereotype for me. I am a gay woman of color so I'm reclaiming the stereotype, lol.
