I find this funny
Misconception: Anime causes kids to be antisocial, violent, and disrespectful.
Reality: The amount of violence and disrespectful behavior in anime is comparable to American TV shows aimed at young viewers - some shows are mildly violent, but others contain little to no violent behavior. As for being antisocial, if your child wants to attend Naka-Kon, he or she is asking to go to an event with approximately 3,000 other anime fans!
(naka-kon is an anime convention in kansas MO)
