I think people who "hate anime" usually just hate certain tropes they've associated with it. I like anime a lot personally, but I can see how the abundance of pedo and pedo-adjacent shit is a major turnoff (Evangelion gets posted a lot on here, but it needs be remarked that the two "waifus" in that show are fourteen). Then there are the racist jokes, the transphobic jokes, the homophobic jokes, the misogynist jokes...
That doesn't mean that there aren't a whole lot of shows that steer clear of those tropes, but once that association is made they're never going to break it on their own.
I'm just gonna say it: If you hate anime, but not western animation, I feel like there's some race stuff goin' on there.
Neither are monolithic and both are equally diverse in content: cmv.

I don't think the kind of person that makes a show of hating anime is going to defend western cartoons.
I just don't like the art style. Western cartoons are getting increasingly worse though.
