How leaving anime fan wars behind fixed my mood

I got really into defending my favorite shows in online comments. It just made me feel stressed and kinda bitter after a while. Then I saw a thread about how some fans just share cool moments without fighting. I started joining those kinds of talks instead. Now chatting about anime feels good and doesn't weigh on me.

I mean, is it worth getting that worked up over cartoons? In my experience, it's just fun stories, so letting it ruin your day seems like a lot. Stepping away from the fighting was probably a smart move for your peace of mind.

Since when are stories not worth caring about?

Stories shape how we see the world, even cartoons. They can have big ideas about friendship, justice, or loss that stick with you. Getting upset when those ideas are treated badly makes sense to me. It shows people care about the messages in the things they love.
