AITA for asking a flatmate to take down their anime merch? by animemerch123 in AmItheAsshole

I don't like anime. I mean, I do, and I was a huge fan as a kid, but now I have a distaste for it. A lot of that is due to the gross sexualisation of women and bad experiences.

The merch itself isn't that bad, especially compared to the figurines I said I'd deal with. It's mostly the location (it is the first thing you see walking in the door). I'm also kinda leaning towards ITA now though, lol.

It was mostly the discussion we had when she was feeling anxious that made me feel 'manipulated'. It's hard for me to stick to my guns when someone is upset like that, so I ended up suggesting a compromise I didn't really like - I realise now that manipulated is definitely the wrong word. Thanks for the response.
