You're missing the point.
It sounds like you took my post as 'anime fans aren't all losers'. I didn't say that.

I was trying to say that it's okay she rejected him for that and he should be happy that he won't waste any more dates on a person who considers his hobbies a turn-off.

I was actually agreeing with you. She rejected him for liking anime just like he may have rejected him for liking Taytay & reality TV. As you said, dating is not a speedrun to making some random person like you - it's a search for someone you like and who likes you back. Personal interests and hobbies are a great proxy to finding that person. But of course you have to be in a good place mentally, and not ready to ditch your dignity for validation from a random person you might not even like if you were frank with yourself.
