@notzoso It's like, what does liking anime mean? You watch a lot of anime? The way most people interact with anime is on an extreme surface level. I think a hobby is something you're actively doing. I'd say the same about reading or watching movies.

@notzoso Unless you're engaging in a basic amount of critical thought for the thing you're consuming, or it's an actual activity that requires skill to get good at, what does it even mean. So like, to me watching anime then just talking about theories for one piece isn't much of a hobby

@notzoso I think when you delve deeper and really engage in media critique and thought that can be a hobby. But shonen is the most popular genre, and people often leave that shit at ultra surface level, which kinda makes me think a lot of people miss the point.
