Great article! I’m pretty laid back about my interests…I simply call myself an ‘anime fan’. Yes, there are specific genres I tend to gravitate to (or avoid). But overall, if a show looks interesting to me, I’ll watch it. Dub or sub? Depends on my mood…just like everything else. ^_^

You know you’re elitist when you start making posts about elitism.

I guess I should write one about “too much meta-blogging can be detrimental to your mental health” post. Or maybe “taking blogs about fandom seriously can be detrimental to your mental health” rather? :p

I qualify myself as an elitist because A: I’ve watched subtitled anime even when I was a child (sure that was when I last lived in an Asian country), and except one exception (the Battle Angle Alita dub…a gigantic UGH! I’ve thrown that tape away), I’ve never liked dubs, anywhere, even in Taiwan (OK that’s that Asian country that I grew up as a child). And if anyone ever debate with me that dubs are good, I’d verbally dragonslave/claymore them to death – I’d destroy them in a debate, which I already have (PROUDLY). I download the latest subs (I can read Chinese, so yeah, I’d say the latest subs), and I refuse to listen to dubs and buy crappily made DVDs. These are the reasons that I qualify myself as an elitist.
