i wouldnt really care, everyone has their own taste, and as long as I like it.. who cares?
Its easier to judge about the things you dont really know about.. if u know what i mean.

My friends never said reading manga(s) stupid or sth...but if they do, i don't care what they said....it my hobby, not going to argue and get into a fight or sth >_>

"Your face is stupid!" lol

Just ignore it. Do what you normally do with them.

Kids like that don't have much patience to keep bothering you about these matters unless you keep bringing it up.

Define "friend", if you (@op) would smack him in the face for that I wouldn't call that a frendship...

If it really were my friend though, I would ask why does he think so and would rather talk to him and tell why I don't think it's stupid.

I'm not a retard to get angry (like some of the people here) at her/him over little things. Manga is part of my life not my whole life.

yeah nothing realy its their opinion lol... i can only say that they miss a lot of fun stuff.... IT'S JUST THEIR LOSSSS

i guess i would be curious as to why this so called friend thinks that way and has he ever tried reading it or having taken a look at what kind of thing it is, unless it's that type of people who think they are the right ones or judge things without knowing much about them, then don't think its possible to do anything in that situation

I don't use "bad" words, I use SENTENCE ENHANCERS.

I've heard many people call manga stupid or childish. My reaction depends on the person. If it is a friend I'll try to explain that it isn't. Of course that if he insists I'll just say Fine and ignore it. If it's someone I don't know well or don't really get along with I'll just say Whatever and ignore it.

I don't really care when people say that because it mainly results from their own ignorance so...

I would look down, say "yes it is" and smile nostalgically.

if there is an option between "to do" and "not to do", I will always choose the latter.

I'll just say whatever then move on to a different topic. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so I won't get mad at my friends if they said manga is stupid (hopefully they'll be nice enough not to pursue to subject in such a manner).
