    People who watch dubs make me upset.

Call it a step back in the concept of the medium when demanding the audio sounds like gibberish. I've even seen context notes while watching dubs. Shit's not gonna improve if you advocate companies not trying or insist people avoid them to later offer constructive criticism. Watching anime gets enough shit as a hobby to not need a sub-group within the fan base mocking those who don't do it their way. Lord knows I never tell people RL I watch the stuff unless I hear someone else bring it up. Stigma sucks. I want it to go away, but it's got the double whammy of being both foreign and animation.
    This is America for you...match the lowest common denominator and pretend it's a good thing.

    And bad stigma aren't going to go away with dubbing...if anything, the terrible dubbing is one of the main reason why people have issue with animes. If the society in general was more open to subbing, that kind of shit wouldn't happen in the first place. Do you see people bitch about subbing at film festival around the world? No, and I'm fairly certain they are far more open than most people.

    [edit]
    Actually, this is hilarious that you complains about the "stigma" when the first thing you did in this thread is complains about people listening to anime in japanese when they don't speak it....

    Screw you Canadians, let's see how you can do better dubs with your overly polite manner of speech and hockey references.

    I was told Canada was a place where people who aren't American enough to be American and French lives.

    They do all kind of un-American thing all the time, like using the metric system and giving their citizens free health care.

    Sounds like a horrible place to live in.

    I guess that's why they give everyone free health care. But I bet your hospital do weird shit like using maple syrup for IV since it's not regulated by the free market!

    Spoiler: show

    Where would you want to go anyway? It's just a giant snowy wasteland.

    Some "Ich bin ein Berliner" seems appropriate given the above pictures and assumption of language.
