The U.S. didn't "hate" anime in the 90s. People these days tend to conflate (or confuse) "broad teasing of foreign cultures and nerd hobbies" for "hatred." As for the nerds and bullies that may have gotten weird or douchey about it...I mean, what do you expect? That's what nerds and bullies do.

Correlation is not causation: people who liked anime who got bullied did not get bullied because they liked anime, they got bullied because bullies are bullies.

I got bullied because it was something that OTHERED me. when I was growing up in a small town you got made fun of for being the OTHER. so yes. I assure you I know why I got bullied.

It was worst when the bullies had some knowledge on the subject (like a classmate was made fun of for liking Gabumon, not Digimon in general)

I will never forget the merciless pillorying I received for a few days in middle school when someone asked what my favorite Cartoon Network shows were and I was stupid enough to sandwich "Hamtaro" in between Ruroni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakusho.

On one hand, I definitely agree that the folks who were bullied would likely get bullied for whatever visible interests the had At the same time, I do think anime was a favorite punching bag, mostly because... I mean it's pretty easy to make fun of.

Can't speak for every case, but your bully probably wasn't taking the temperature of emerging niche subcultures and what was appropriately popular or not, they were freestyling on what they had in front of them.
