EDIT: Oh I also dug the Castlevania series on Netflix.

It may not always be "high art", but it's still an art form. Sounds like you're more concerned about the image surrounding anime fans than anime itself though. Have you tried watching any?

If you like it, I'm happy for you. But the rest of us do not care.
You don't have to. Personally I'd rather hear about what people do like though, there can be a lot of interesting stuff to learn from them. I don't usually care about what people don't care about or dislike, there's usually not much to unpack there.
