An rant against certain comic styles

Listen. You're english, not japanese. Stop making me read right to left for the simple fact that you like anime. You don't have to say it but we know that's the only reason. It's the only reason you could have, really. Doing so forces me, the reader, into wondering why the hell your comic is so weird, and then realizing "oh, you're just fucking with the reader."
Because let me reiterate.. You're english. Not japanese. Unless you're going for authentic manga art style (even then, i'd argue..), using that style forces an uncomfortable position on all of your readers. Not only that, but it makes me think that YOU think that everyone should just know to read it that way, which is not the case. Not everyone in this fandom watches anime or reads manga, so forcing that assumption on us makes us feel like we're being partially forced into an interest we have no intention persuing.
And i guess if you're fine with all that, then i hope your fine with me respectfully not looking at any of your comics.
Because really, it's like opening a McDonalds and insisting everyone who eats there use chopsticks.
Alright, rant over.

I can fully understand if people are a) Japanese or b) their audience reads that way, but if your doing it just to 'make it proper manga' then stop :I its frustrating to your actual audience.
But no seriously, I also dislike it when somebody is obsessed over a particular unique style/genre/whatever and thinks everybody should adapt to it solely because THEY like it rather than because of logic
