there wouldn't be as much cringe in the world without it
There would still be a hell of a lot of cringe in this world without anime.
you're right actually
people would be cringe over something else i guess
i try to stay away from people who watch anime irl
People who watch anime, identify as a furry, cosplay as "x" character or anything else considered socially "cringe-worthy" are not all horrible or socially awkward people. It's usually the bad apples that the public takes note of and refuses to associate anyone else in that community as anything but that one bad example.
There are celebrities who watch anime. The general public may not even care about it.
There's also these types of people. They attract ridicule because, what, it makes people feel better about themselves that they're "not them"?
If they're the types to continually force their beliefs and likes on to you, then yes, you should definitely stay away from them. If they mention off-hand, "oh, I just watched x", that doesn't mean you should stay away from them. This is true for all people, not just people who like anime.
[spoiler]That said, I sometimes wonder how different I'd be without being introduced to anime in the first place.[/spoiler]
