Anime is pretty popular among autistic people. However, aside from being obsessed with Voltron as a kid, I never got into it. I’m wondering what I’m missing.

I’m an autistic who doesn’t like anime.

The last few shows I saw I consider an old shame because I disagree with the values although not all of them are bad, I think.

I did grow up on anime and manga too but I still didn’t agree with both medium’s values.

I’d rather read comic books and watch cartoons although I blew most of what I watched and read out of proportion because I disagreed with the values portrayed in both.

Most anime I saw were stumbling blocks for me because of the acting and writing, not to mention the old shames that I moved on from.
