I wouldn’t say uncultured just not into “nerd” culture

Nice kid where?

He a grown ass man lol

Anime ruined two generations of kids

Music too

we not watching any of that bullshit

Naruto not even really nerd culture like that tho it’s been a Zoomer stable since the early 2000’s even though it’s gotten more appreciation from the late 10’s onward like every other major anime

From not knowing who Wale or Zaytoven are to not getting familiar with anime until the ripe age of 25 he’s aggressively uninitiated

Life changer right there

real s***

Anyone older than me is unc status anyone younger is a kid

Eh if you went to a hood school it was still seen as some nerd s***

I wouldn’t call Naruto a Gen Z staple in the same way that something like SpongeBob where every kid no matter what their taste or background was loved it

I don’t know anyone that wasn’t a barely functioning autist that was watching f***in Naruto growing up

Feel like y’all are confusing the casual anime enjoyer with weeb culture

I grew up in the South with both hood niggas and nerdy guys both have had run-ins with anime to some extent even if they were very guarded with it

Might’ve been a lame nigga then nothing I can do about that

Wait until when he gets to the part where it's revealed Naruto is the reincarnation of ninja Jesus so he was destined for greatness regardless

💯

I appreciate that he is doing his best Kevin Hart transition

Become a husk to sell products and make money

Yep. It’ll work too.

Feel like that’s not even his intention he just lacks the foresight, intellect and identity to avoid becoming the perfect goy

Watching sopranos made me fat and dangerous.

Thats always been the confusion though unfortunately

When Toriyama died I remember there was a lot of discussion how important DBZ and anime in general was to young black and latino boys of the 90s/2000’s. S*** was beautiful, and definitely applied to myself and people around me in NY even though there were the detractors

Nah don’t put that on DB fans we the OGs of getting singled out since it was the most recognizable

depression medication testimonial

i only knew 2 people growing up who were into anime tbh. it wasn’t until high school that i seen it spread, and even then it was a certain type of dude until all the anime dudes pretty much just because the stoners today in like the last 10 years

I know where i was at, there weren’t even any Asians like that so anime was almost non-existent lol. specially if Kai telling the truth about growing up poor, some s*** you just miss

N---a ain't got NO childhood.
