No because it's subjective. Plus, I don't want to act like an elitist.

It's anti elitist if their taste is shit for giving a 10 to elitist anime.

Those anime are MEDIOCRE. Elitists are deluded.

There is no such thing as 'elitist anime'. Acting like your taste is superior because you like different shows is totally being an elitist, though.

I don't because that's pathetic. Each person has their own tastes and i just have to respect that and that's it, no need to judge them just because they hate something i like.

Elitist anime are anime that present themselves as deep but are very shallow.

(Not truly developing the characters or the world. AKA Evangelion. We only know what their problems are. We don't see enough of their childhood. Especially Asuka.

Why should we care about them if we only know that they're fucked up, and not their lives before they were fucked up?)

You present yourself as a shallow dude aren't ya? What an abhorent, self-centered, arrogant, narrow-minded, thoughtless and immature move to spit some shitty subjective insults to others. You act like mf having the solely rightful taste that any person has differently means they're dumb.

Ok, into business.

1. You need to grow up, like seriously dude, there's literally no quality in winning over someone via anime taste, fkin delusional
2. "Elitist anime" huh? You confidently, arrogantly and stupidly affirmed it is one of those anime that is seemingly deep but actually is just shallow... bruh wtf are u trolling or sth? Let me make it as easy as possible for someone like you to comprehend. Elitists are those who enjoy "elite" works, and mainly they derive pleasure from works that are perennial, analysis-required, influential, aesthetic and many times, obscure. Maybe they don't even like the movie, but since it's deep (like for real, deep), culturally significant or maybe just being overlooked, then they might say they love it. Overall, elitists are likely to be those who only enjoy thoughtful stuffs, take things far more seriously than it appears to be, and always brag how they have such wonderful taste along with murdering by words the industry nowadays.

You clearly have zero concept about what elitist is, and elite movie as well. It may be pretentious at times, overly heavy-theme at times, but shallow does not appear on the list very frequently.

I'd go as far and say one of their favorite anime is trash, but not their taste as a whole.

Different people have different tastes, that is actually a great thing yknow. How boring would it be if we all liked the same, just think about that for a second.

Also, there is no such thing as shit taste. Your taste might not be my taste, that means we probably won't have a lot in common, so what. Live and let live.

Someone who tells me I have ( or someone we know has ) "shit taste" disqualifies himself as a conversation partner I can take seriously.

I don't think it's really fair to say that someone has a shit taste....
I might find something amazing because of a few factors, or because I can put myself in that situation... But the same can't be said about everyone :(

Although I do think that people should just stop butchering certain anime because they couldn't like it, and shit-talking it's fans

Not really no. Everyone likes a lot of different animes, and I know that my anime taste itself isn't the greatest, so I just don't feel like it's my place to say someone has a shit taste in anime or not. I will joke around if it's a friend though, but I won't go out and say to a random stranger that their taste in anime is terrible.

I seriously doubt anybody who tells people they have shit taste will come out in the open and say that's what they do, because they know they will be ridiculed for it.
I don't see a reason to tell people they have shit taste:
1) It's rude, obviously.
2) There are different standards as to what makes an anime good.
3) Why should other peoples' opinions on anime make me feel negative?

This.

Telling others that their taste is shit is because your taste is the same. In psychology is called projection.

People who even use "shit taste" at this point just follow the asshole before them that used the term. I wonder if people think it makes them look super cool when they think everything sucks. Is it like a shock statement or something?

When I was a bit younger I used to treat taste as a matter of fact and not a matter of opinion. I slightly changed my approach even if some animes look questionable for me... different people have different tastes after all, no need to constantly think whether what others like is great or "shit".

I'd like to take a moment to connect this thread and that thread about the annoyance of "office politics" in the anime community. (FYI the term "office politics" is OP's words, not mine.)

Also I'd like to point out one exception to the stuff I said earlier about how I use the term "shit taste"; there's one more usage: when I simultaneously declare everyone's taste to be shit. Usually in response to someone else saying that a specific person has shit taste.

A few things to consider before you say anything. 1st being is what someone else likes even your business to judge, 2nd are you sure you aren't the one who actually has shit taste and 3rd should you be such an arrogant cock that thinks their opionion is the only one that matters.

No one has to tell me anything, I know I have shit taste, and I embrace it.

But no, I don't usually return the favor. If that answers your question.

Not really... sometimes as a sort of half-joke where I'm just making light how different someone elses taste is to mine.

But I'm always up for debates about the quality of things, whether it be certain anime or entire genres / styles. As long as someone isn't coming across as angry or hateful, just giving their opinion on the value / quality of something and they're open to debate... then we're cool.

Some people will take reasonable criticism where people are just being analytical in an honest, open way and see that as "shit-talking".

I don't believe art should be socially enjoyed in a hug-box, but there is a blurred line between friendly disagreement / debate and just being an asshole.

No because saying someone has "shit taste" doesn't bring any form of debate and is just a rude way some low self-esteem people will use to try and flex their "anime expertise"

And on that note what would you even call good taste outside of something similar to your own which at the end of the day doesn't mean anything since anyone with a different one would call yours shit as well

Only if they

A. solely consume mainstream shows spoonfed to them by licensed redistributors, such as crunchyroll and toonami
B. restrict themselves entirely to one or two genres
C. call one show perfect and blaspheme everything else (jojofags and other "manime" children are guilty of this)
D. act like a jaded boomer and bitch about modernity and the current state of the industry, with a tendency to make inexperienced generalizations

There's no reason to unless they ask me "did you like ***? Still probably wouldn't use the word "shit" though.

No.... because 1 - I never eat shit, so I don't know it's taste. 2 - I don't bite nor eat peoples...

On a serious note... How many times a day do peoples tell you, that you are a dork? Both online and in real life... There is something extremely unpleasant, to hear some obnoxious brat telling you - ''Hey, your taste is shit!'' That's not how you formulate an opinion, my friend. Peoples hate to be criticized, when they didn't ask for it, and especially in an insulting manner.

I think everyone has been told that they have shit taste, if you just browse the forums a little you'll see one. There are a lot upon a hyped release.

I don't think I've said it myself though, I'm very much up for debate when it comes to anime, that's also why I add everyone to my friends list.

No, there is absolutely no point. If they have a shit taste that means they won’t be able to appreciate what is actually good + see that what they pick is trash. In their eyes trash is good and that’s not for me to change. I learnt not to argue with idiots, complete waste of time and energy.
Unless I am already into conversation with somebody and see something completely trash, I don’t mind to give little mention. I’m very straight forward and honest, but even then it depends on the person. If after me studying that person I think he’s a complete dumbass then deffo keeping my mouth shut. But if I see that they capable of seeing things from different perspective & accepting other people’s opinions then yeah why not :)

This thread is immensely stupid for more reasons than one

1 - We're gonna judge somebody's taste in anime by comparing a single anime? Lmao
2 - There's nobody in this world who has watched all the anime you watched and rated them the same
3 - Not everybody on this website rates the same way you do
4 - Their taste is shit because you don't agree with their rating? Feeling superior or something? Lmao
5- If this is a troll, the next time you should make a troll that is funny because it is actually funny and not because it is just stupid

Their taste isn't shit because I don't agree. It's because of how big the gap is between their score and mine for something that I believe I was completely fair in scoring lower than 10.

If we were, say, 1-2 points different, I wouldn't say they had shit taste.

Even so, saying that their taste (by which I assume their likes and dislikes in anime in general) is shit just because of 1 single show is a bit silly. There's thousands of shows out there, you're gonna heavily disagree with somebody somewhere.

Funny thing is that it works the other way around as well. People who rated something much higher than you will have thought that they were completely fair in doing so and therefore think that you have shit taste. Your own 'good' taste will seem like 'shit' taste to someone else.

In the end, calling somebody out for having shit doesn't really help anyone get anywhere. Watch the shows you like and let other people watch the shows they like.
