Chinese/Korean Animation Classified as Anime?

I am sure not many would want them to be treated them as anime.
As for me, it doesn't really matter. What about you guys?
 
The term anime was lifted from Japan because that’s what’s they call their cartoons. If they had a new term that was more inclusive, that’s be cool, but it seems a bit too late and ingrained.

It was called Japanimation in the 80’s and early 90’s in America.

That also shows how petty a term anime is if you gotta get into some weird specific. That’s what happens when you have a marketing term that’s based on non-genre related things like means of distribution or country of origin.

if i were to say i didn't get what you just said, would you think i am stupid?
then ignore lol
 
I don't see why it shouldn't be. Anime is a style of animated TV and film now. Yes it started as a Japan specific description for their style of animation but now you have studios making anime style shows in other languages than just japanese and I'm not talking about dubbing but original language anime for their country.

I think they should just make a new term for it. It’s turning into terms like indie where things with the indie “aesthetic” but is produced by major companies, so it kind of lost the meaning.

that sounds logical too
people think anime is only for japanese but they don't usually mean the same style being used by other studios

The when you use the term Japan uses for their animation to refer to animation from their own country, it makes sense  to say anime is from Japan.

We have marketing labels that only have a single defining factor, like country of origin. When you have a blatantly obvious label, like British sitcom, you don't need to explain that it's a sitcom... from Britain. If it went by a less obvious name (let's make up a name like Talkies), then people start debating what qualifies as a Talkie. If anime was called "Japanese cartoons", there wouldn't  be a debate.

There have been situations where they adopted more inclusive terms when these labels turn into genres and lose the meaning of their marketing label

Idk why you should be annoyed for calling them cartoons. That’s as dumb as complaining about someone calling a film a movie. It’s the same thing.

lol may be that's why i said i got no right
but when you think highly of something, you wouldn't want that to be compared to something less in your opinion. that's just how it is for me.

That’s pretty much just being pretentious. It’s the equivalent of people who hate rap music getting annoyed at it being classified as music. Like dude, get off your high horse.

still i am entitled to my own opinion grungie
and if i can't help it, sometimes you need to cut me some slack.
it's like saying: no you shouldn't feel that way but feelings are based on one's personality and one can't help it. it's like denying one's identity here. that's how it looks to me.

You do need to realize that saying stuff about your feelings or opinion doesn’t magically give people a free pass to say whatever they want. Being racist is based on feelings and opinions, but that doesn’t stop them from being a terrible person.

I didn’t call you racist, I was using that as an example of how just saying “well this is my feelings on the matter, so you can’t saying I’m wrong” is not a get out of jail free card for making a dumb comment.
