So where do I even start, try to take me seriously because IT IS extremely serious and just bear with me:
My f*cking annoying aunt randomly saw a meme on social media(I think it was Instagram) of Samuel L. motherfucker Jackson where he said that he watches anime(I find that fact hilarious tho), and there was also a mention in that post of how many famous people she likes(actors, singers etc) also watch anime but then, FCKING THEN, because she’s crazy went on to ramble how older and adult people who watch anime are insanely stupid, have nothing better to do and are bellow average intelligence because ‘‘anime is for kids’’(lol), WITH MY SISTER (WHO’S IN HER 20S AND WATCHES ANIME) RIGHT THERE IN THE SAME ROOM!
And then she went to ramble about how anime(when she says anime, it means ALL the anime with no exception) is stupid and shouldn’t be taken seriously or watched by anyone except kids even though she can understand cartoons like The Simpsons because it’s made for adults, but can’t anime. And also went to ramble about ironic memes from social media( like some BatmanArkham esque shit). And also, she’s a borderline anti-semite, rightfully criticizing Zionist entity, but frequently going out of her way to say anti-semitic shit like for example: once there was some random movie on TV with a scene with merchant from Middle Ages who had a lot of stuff to sell and gold, and she went away to ask: is he Jewish? Alluding to the opinion that all Jews are merchants/rich/and only care about money referring to some event she speaks about where Jewish merchants stopped praying and left to trade in street to make money. And claims that in all religions is written that Isn’t real will be destroyed(mixing a zionist entity with historical lands). She also had a habit of ranting about ‘‘MUH GAMES CAUSE VIOLENCEEEEE’’, ‘‘that horror movies turn people into serial killers’’, gets offended at smallest thing ‘‘alluding to satanism’’ and says that no religion should be offended like that(even if she isn’t extremely religious), that media should be extremely regulated(based around her opinions) and restricted depending on age and citing the fact that she wasn’t allowed to watch ANY MOVIES when she was a kid and watched only cartoons until she was 14. She calls herself a socialist btw…
I’m so fucking tired of her(you can only imagine my sis who always argued with her) and would never want to have any conversation if she wasn’t family, y’all can’t understand it no matter how I try to explain it, she is such a frustrating person to be around and you would never want to meet her or someone like her in your life: she can’t take a joke, something completely ironic, the fact that people can be different sexual orientation and LGBT(she’s BARELY tolerating certain orientations) and wear certain clothes, that kids can have their opinions, gets offended extremely easily on smallest things, gets offended on facts, as soon as some scientific fact appears her first natural reaction is to deny it or question it, absolutely explodes at mention that cats exterminated dozens of species, reads stuff about contradictions of historical events or people, starts conspiracy on lamest stuff and events and more.
Like she is so fragile to be offended at a simple ironic joke and then ramble about it the next 30 minutes, something is generally, unironically, terribly wrong with her and I can’t deny that I’m worried because she’s family, whatever happened to her is uncertain considering that it’s getting a lot worse last years.
Also, one of the big reasons as to why I adore to shitpost here so much is because it genuinely helps me get distracted and forget about types of people and that stuff I have to encounter almost daily. There are more people similar to her here(not to that extreme extent, but holding some of her opinions uniroincally) and they are more frequent than you can imagine.
I just can’t, only time I’m happy at this point is when I have time to spend alone with my siblings when we don’t have anything to do and are all home, or if not, when I’m alone and doing stuff I like. It’s terrible now, and we’re in village currently because the feast day will be in less then a week which means you guessed it, terrible family gatherings and I’m literally going to have a Nacho moment in these situations because of how frustrating it is to endure it.
Thanks if anyone’s reading and listening this stuff, it means a lot.
Osti, ye really need a cultural revolution there, eh?
(preferably when international corps of Marxist-Leninist countries are somewhat secure and include y’all, and the socialist economies are stable)
gets offended at smallest thing ‘‘alluding to satanism’’
Your aunt would go thermonuclear if she found out about Hazbin Hotel and/or Helluva Boss
And Bendy since I had someone point out at ‘‘SATANISM!!’’ when he saw it on the shelf.
Your aunt’s hatred of anime reminds me of myself when I was younger
This much? Why did you hate it?
I don’t remember, tbh
“Aunt, I dont know much about the topic you are talking about, would like to recommend me a nice recipe for a cake?”. For real, I often lure annoying people into a talk about food and especially soups. Because I absolutely love soups and I put a lot of time to make a really great soup.
There is not much you can do I guess, mostly dodging. She is obviously stubborn. My stupid ass mother talked the same about video games, like your aunt about anime. For real. Video Games is something for children, doesn’t matter which game it is, because there is the word G.A.M.E and only children play games. Like wtf, its like this Spongebob episode, where he wanted to act like an adult: Not having fun at all and listen to jazz.
Otherwise, if you are interested to make your next meeting with her into a nuclear argument, you can introduce her to Hentai and also ask her, if it is ok show it children. Why not, its Also there are good BL Manhwas and Manhuas, not the shitty ones you are thinking right now about. Samuel L. Jackson was somehow an absolutely stupid idiot, so much, that he is aworldwide known.
Like she is so fragile to be offended at a simple ironic joke and then ramble about it the next 30 minutes, something is generally, unironically, terribly wrong with her and I can’t deny that I’m worried because she’s family, whatever happened to her is uncertain considering that it’s getting a lot worse last years.
That’s difficult. A bit also depending on how old you are, the family dynamic and the cultural background. Maybe you will get one day the possibility to ask her, what is going on and that you are worried.
Don’t give up, it is really annoying shit and can relate to you. If your family gathering happens, use sometimes the possibility to rant or shitpost here, if it helps you
So that’d be something, so to just lure her to talk about food and then what? I’m not Gordon Ramsay, but my brother can make something I guess so he could do it. Sister talks with her all the time though so not like it would be something new.
Yes, it’s either ‘‘muh video games and horror movies violence’’ or ‘‘anime bad’’ and zero substance or rational thought about it.
Well I mean, no idea what that is, but for animes, there are a few textbook examples of ‘‘animes for kids’’ such as my infamous favorite one with black and white bear(she is well aware of it), Serial Experiments Lain, Shiki, Death Note, Higurashi, Mirai Nikki and even Naruto. Like for real, there are so many icons who watch anime that it is just hilarious that she says that stuff.
My older sister talks and fights with her about this stuff all the time and can’t get through her no matter how she explains, if she can’t after all this time then idk who can and how. She is the person who is nose deep into Feng Shui, Astrology nonsense and ‘‘traditional medicine’’, rambles about it from time to time and you can’t get to her senses.
Thanks a lot, I hate family gatherings all the time for holidays, there is always some dingus and annoying situation about senseless stuff.

It was just a an example. Talk about something else, at least something you have in common. Falling for her provocations doesn’t help at all.

Is there any need for it? You are probably riding a dead horse.

In this case: If you don’t want an argument, ignore it. If something is questioned towards you, dodge it somehow. Quacker’s are awful to talk with.
Wait a minute, is she actually always trying to provoke ON PURPOSE? I just can’t fathom that all this insanity would be on purpose because she has nothing better to do, who would spend their life like this?
Well that’s what I’m talking about, it’s literally beating a dead horse for years and there is no help to it since if there wasn’t up until now after everything sister tried, there won’t be.
Is that an official term for those people? Lol. But yeah, I legitimately have no idea why does she talk about this stuff almost all the time, I have to see her from time to time unfortunately because of brother, but even if he is majority with his father in village, we can’t dodge her completely because that isn’t always the case and we have to visit her anyway+family gatherings.
