Anime was never a problem. Sailor moon, Pokémon, and DBZ were super mainstream, and you had stuff like Voltron and Speed Racer before that.
The issue is people who either only talk about their hobby, try to force other people into it, or in the case of anime, expect real life to be the same way or act it out themselves (see naruto running comment in OP's screenshot)
This completely depends on your age and what kind of peers you were surrounded by. You're nuts if you think no one was ever bullied for liking stuff because it was mainstream at the time and place you grew up in. Kids can be vicious little creatures and would bully you for liking the wrong Pokémon when I was in school.
There's probably something very wrong with you if you actually think that bullying is acceptable under any circumstances. Even if some kid is behaving weirdly or likes something deeply unpopular - so what? That's not harmful behaviour and even if it somehow was, bullying is still the wrong way to deal with that. I barely trust most adults to have a working moral compass, let alone kids. I know there's been a resurgence in this kind of thinking on social media where people push the idea that bullying is an acceptable form of social "correctional" behaviour, which isn't just incredibly stupid but also deeply disgusting. If you look at any of the most serious bullying cases of teenagers being driven to suicide by their schoolmates, none of it was ever justified or even had an apparent reason other than: this person makes for an easy target.
You really think that bullies pick victims that deserve to be bullied?
I said no such thing, and I'm not sure what type of victims you think "deserve to be bullied"
People who stand out from the herd are those that are either idolized or shunned, depending on other factors. But bullies target those who they think they can victimize. So as I said in my first comment, its not really about anime or specific hobbies, at all.
