They like both anime and unicorns. A BIG red flag?

[Cassie88]

Yes, perhaps I'm really naive and should by now know better, but... well... I try to see the good in people, and naturally enough just assume the other person is being truthful. I give people the benefit of the doubt, but when this person (who shall remain anonymous) told me that he/she (I'm not even 100% sure what gender they were) likes both anime and unicorns, the first thing that popped into mind was of a fat, lazy 30 plus incel baby who still hangs on to his mother for support, and thinks 'Star Trek' is real.

Do you mean My Little Pony? Some of those guys are weird so I know what you're talking about, some of those guys are not, but ultimately no I don't think either is a red flag.

[Cassie88]

Not either - both.

[DevikaButts95]

Both doesn't change much. If someone likes MLP they probably also like anime.

[Nikki1989]

Yes, one gigantic red flag. 🚩

[AviatorTom]

Nothing wrong with enjoying anime as a form of entertainment. What's wrong with unicorns? Let people like what they like, and accept, respect and love them for who they are.

[Cassie88]

You don't understand. There is a certain type of (male) person who loves those. Maybe it's because you're from a different generation, but when someone admits online to liking BOTH, there is a very good chance that person fits the stereotype of being a socially awkward loser who is still a virgin because no self-respecting woman would go anywhere near him.

[AviatorTom]

@cassie88 FYI, I know several guys and girls in their 20s and 30s who enjoy anime. Some are married, others engaged and still others dating... they're not all awkward and virgin.

[Cassie88]

Anime AND unicorns.

[AviatorTom]

@cassie88 Some of the girls still have a few stuffed unicorns from their childhood.

Why exactly is anime a red flag? Thinking that it’s a red flag is the red flag. Unicorns aren’t real

[Cassie88]

"Unicorns aren't real" - Gee, I never would have guessed that! And I didn't say that anime might be a red flag, I said anime AND unicorns, both at the same time!

[TrillXHippy]

I really don’t care if it’s both at the same time. Best bet stop getting smart with me

[TrillXHippy]

Anime isn’t a red flag and NEITHER IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT REAL

[TrillXHippy]

You having a problem with what people like is the red flag

[Cassie88]

Liking anime definitely IS a huge red flag, an indicator the person is a big fat LOSER.

[KostasKouvalis]

If they're an adult, yes. The Anime thing I can still excuse, a lot of autistic people like it, and some people just like Japanese culture, but the unicorn thing is very strange.

[KostasKouvalis]

Though even with Anime if you're in your 30s and still into it, that's very strange

[CharlieDMX]

Lol. Only people I know who like anime and unicorns are girls. Maybe he/she is one?

[SnowedIn]

Wait... Star Trek isn't real?

[Wise4myage]

Why does it have to be a red flag.

[Cassie88]

Well, it can be a rainbow flag if you prefer.
