One could make the argument that they're both sick, weird, depraved, incomprehensible shit.

Shouldn't it be reversed?

No.

Not really. The anal poking thing happens in even the insanely mainstream crap (if I recall my after-school cartoons correctly, the kid in Dragonball shoved his finger up someone's butt during a tournament). And tentacle rape is just a matter of how gratuitous you want it. Seriously, how many episodes of Sailor Moon involved tentacles/vines/bands of energy/whatever gripping the scantily clad schoolgirls?
Now, that is not to say that all tentacle porn is bad. I vaguely recall reading a Deadpool comic where Wade got sodomized in a very humorous fashion. And, I am sure that if you look deep down (inside your pants), you will find that you too were aroused by the scarred sack of cancer getting some tentacles in his no-no places.
Again, we are all depraved freaks. The best you can hope for is that you can pretend that it is just cultural differences that make you a freak.
Or, in the case of you REALLY freaky people, you need to hope that nobody ever opens that box in the basement where you keep your video tapes of overweight women in wetsuits wrestling in a swimming pool full of flapjacks and pre-chewed bubble gum.

And somewhere, just as soon as that paragraph was posted, a website devoted to that very fetish sprang into existence.

Unless that was sarcastic then do as Gundato said and get off your high horse. On another note though I agree with Wishbone on the anime/hentai thing, I also agree with some guys in this thread that most anime is really crap, there are some gems in there though, and I like to watch them just as much as I enjoy watching real life movie gems.

Such are the ways of the internet ;-)

Umm, Hi.

I suppose it also relates to how much you're exposed to it. True, there are loads of crappy western movies (as in "from the western world", not as in "cowboy movie"), but seeing how many western movies most westerners watch over the years, we're bound to come across the gems as well. For someone like me, however, with little or no interest in anime, I naturally don't watch a lot of it, and so the chances that the only bits of it I manage to see belong in the crap category are quite high.

as long as we can agree that not all crap is anime.

If you insist

There are gems and crap in everything. Well perhaps not dance & techno, that's just all shit

Personally I find those are the most gem-infused of all music genres, while rap is the one with least gems (I guess that's why they need their gold necklaces and other jewellery).
