I wish anime never got popular because I’m so sick of seeing posts like these giving it a bad rep.

20 years ago it would have been considered garbage. Generic Identical Isekai Number 6524304072 isn't worth watching no matter who you are. But the sad reality is, "not worth watching" is actually no longer even close to the bottom of the barrel. Now if a show doesn't try to groom children or incite race riots it's halfway decent. Just being bland and forgettable is considered a positive, because at least it's not actively harmful.
You do have a point with some things as I have dropped shows in the past that were just so mind numbingly boring, but they've never directly insulted me as a viewer unlike a lot of Western franchises.
I'll take bad over insulting. I'd rather watch a bad show that's kina boring than one that lectures me on how terrible I am.
Not really, you missed the decades when every show tried to be Gundam, so you had generic identical space mecha number 3638579, instead
Sure, but we knew they sucked back then. Nowadays they'd be considered bland but watchable.
