It's not a genre, it's a medium. And most of the bad stereotypes of anime are only universal in a certain awful genre or two.

Although the worst is the most popular, I'll give you that.

Oh boy, let's play the comment section semantics game!

Genre doesn't just mean "action" / "adventure" / etc. The definition is broad enough to encompass anime.

a style, especially in the arts, that involves a particular set of characteristics - Cambridge dictionary

a category of artistic, musical, or literary composition characterized by a particular style, form, or content - Merriam Webster

In this case, anime has a particular set of tropes, art style, animation style, themes, and content. Yes, there's sub-genres, but anime is definitely a genre, as is "cartoon" and "soap opera".
