Anime body pillows are not entirely weird, and they’re not creepy by necessity. That said, depending on the depiction on the body pillow and how the person interacts with it, it can become a very creepy thing. Simple decorations are fine, but things get awkward when you snuggle with an animated character.
Arguably, modern anime is much better than older anime. Depending on when you choose to delineate between eras, modern anime has better animation, better production value, and is much more popular. At the same time, older series have more originality, and there were fewer bad shows that aired.
Some of the stranger behaviors of anime fans can make people cringe, like sleeping with a body pillow designed after a character in a show. Shows themselves make people cringe with inappropriate relationships, worn-out cliches, and excessive fan service. Ridiculous arguments among fans are also cringey.

In the beginning, Skyler dominates Walter partly because he has an unassuming, meek character. She is also a domineering type of person, and it’s natural that she would dominate that kind of person. Over the course of the show, the dynamics change, and Walter becomes the dominant party.
The additional pages add a lot of clarity to a few moments that were too ambiguous in the original ending. They also provide increased criticism of Eren’s extreme plan, and that is probably a good thing. Overall, they were more positive than not, although some fans disliked changes to Mikasa’s ending.
Asking why a show isn’t in English or why the characters’ eyes are so big are the two easiest ways to anger anime fans. You can also ask a ton of questions, ridicule the medium, suggest that it’s for kids, or misname characters and shows. Or, just point out how unrealistic it is on repeat.
Being dismissive is usually the best way to anger sci-fi fans.

This was done so that fans would recognize Hayden Christensen as Anakin in the final scene of Return of the Jedi.
