ignorant f***ers who call anime cartoons and manga comic books

Anime is a form of cartoon though. 'Anime' is an abbreviated Japanese term for animation.
"The term most commonly refers to Japanese cartoons" - Wikipedia. Search this stuff up before calling people who are technically correct 'ignorant'.

It just annoys the crap out of me.

Yeah, one is the Nanking Massacre thing I had with Polaris the other day, but he now understands my opinion that it was fake.

I also hate it when people say Ryugu Rena from Higurashi is a Yandere. She isn't. (And I hope by now everyone at least understands it's not an anime about violence. I mean, c'mon.)

Same.

Yeah, they're almost as bad as those ignorant f***ers who call Yu-Gi-Oh! a card game (when it's actually a [i]trading[/i] card game, which is totally not a subset of card games).

Back in high school, me and all of the other enhanced kids called each other nerds on a regular basis. :P

Don't all of us?

And when cool people call themselves nerds, i can never resist the urge to correct them.

I've gotten some really funny looks in my time.

@Shard: I share your thoughts entirely.

And what is a Yandere, and why is Rena not one of them?

Yandere is specifically when a female character is mad BECAUSE she loves someone. Rena is mad, and she loves someone, but her madness doesn't derive from the love.

On the other hand, Shion (or Mion, in the manga due to confusing explanations) is one, because her love towards Satoshi resulted in her murders.

And example in Phone Diary (Think that's the name, can't remember much else, not even the character names :I)

Basically, the main girl loves the main guy so much that when they're put against each other in the same contest, she'll do whatever the hell it takes to help him win, including killing the other contestants (even if that's the point of the contest). Take note that she's doing it BECAUSE she loves him. I haven't seen the anime they're talking about, but it sounds like Rena is mad just because it's her, and she was mad before she loved the guy.

Mirai Nikki/Future Diary.

You've GOTTA SEE IT. Yuno has to be one of the most badass Yandere characters ever.
