Do you find anime fans to be generally less intelligent than other fandoms?
| Yes OP you're retarded. So am I, I mean we like anime. What the fuck are we doing with our lives? |
 |
| @op what made you come to this conclusion? |
| l0l do u think anime is the only fandom like this So much more to learn m8 |

| There are plenty of intelligent people who like anime. It just depends on who you talk to and hang around. You'll find less intelligent people everywhere. It's not limited to the anime/manga fandom. I feel like captain obvious right now. -.- |
| George Washington didn't watch anime... You know who did? Adolf Hitler. |
 |
| I have a question Is this anime discussion forum just made for us to insult each other and blame about things we dont like ? |
| No, but you're swaying me. |

| i really wonder what fandoms are you thinking of |
 |
| It seems like a lot of people on the fuwanovel community act like they're the fucking scholars of the world. I find that there are many people attending school on MAL though and everyone isn't as stuck up about their education and etiquette around here |
 |
| Like every fandom it depends, the anime community is at lease more competent than fandoms like the video game community and MLP fanbase for whatever that's worth. |
 |
| Well, being that I enjoy anime avidly--and that enjoying anime is indicative of being retarded--I'm a complete, and total dumbass. |
| It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou YandereTheEmo said: The only thing more pathetic than quoting someone you know nothing about, is quoting yourself. |

EVERY fandom has stupid people. Movie, games, anime. I've met scientists I personally think are stupid as fuck. Every person is different and if you can't find an intelligent one, maybe you should re-evaluate the people you talk to and hang out with |

romagia said: how do you measure the competence of a fandom? The message boards mostly. For example, the video game community is filled with nothing but self entitled kids to teens arguing about which console is better, graphics, and can't get along for shit from my experience.

| you can find stupid people everywhere maybe youre only associating with people whos only common interest in anime and youre just unlucky and and only meeting stupid people. |

| I don't know about stupid, but some anime fans I've met were pretty bigoted and pretentious. |
| I wouldn't say that. But I have noticed that a lot of anime fans from the West are ignorant as fuck about anime and how the industry works. I just think it's weird how some people claim to be "obsessed" with something and not really know anything about it. I've come across so many self-proclaimed "hardcore" anime fans who think demographics are genres, moe is "killing the industry", SoL = little girls sitting around and talking, sexual fanservice is the only form of fanservice, ect. |
I think you don't know math |
romagia said: stop going to shitty video game message boards =/ Every video game forum I've ever been to has been like that, with /v/ being the worse. There no reasonable debates, just a bunch of kids calling each other faggots for disagreeing with their opinion. It's either people praising the latest flavor of the month title, people arguing about who a "real gamer" is, and a bunch of other silly go no where arguments. System Wars isn't much better, much like /v/ minus the word faggot and autistic being thrown around. At least with /a/ the threads are all "What does Sinon's butt smell like?" |

Nyron said: high level academia of today includes talking about anime sales, the studio&director culture that is stronger than ever, the mysteries of eva which continue to this day via the rebuilds, and the occasional anime that generates a good ammount of discussions and gets mentioned really often like snk, ngnl, sao, madoka, k-on, etc plus the more artsy stuff like tatami galaxy, ping pong, kyousougiga,,,; Shrabster said: The anime community argues, but mostly light heartedly about best girls. back in my day, we talked about high-level academia such as whether kenshin could beat samurai jack or the mysteries of Eva and not about which sameface girl we want to waifu these are bad times for the animus the best girl discussions are what arises when you watch too much seasonal anime and this is the best discussion you can get out of those anime, and are so easy to ignore i don't even in comparison, talking about fights seems so primitive to me :/ Shrabster said: the only discussions like that that appear often enough for them to irk me are mobawars and SJW dramas; also loldebates, what debates could you have about video games >_>'romagia said: stop going to shitty video game message boards =/ Every video game forum I've ever been to has been like that, with /v/ being the worse.

| Third option x100. If you look at any community, whether it be for comics, movies, or w/e, you will always run into the occasional idiot(s) here and there. It's just a tendency. It's an unreasonable expectation to think that your community should have about same standards as you do. There will always be variations out there. |

Please, teach me Nyron-sama. I just want to be worthy of the original, real fans of this form of entertainment. pfff i don't know how to program anything but yeah you gave FLCL a 4 and your list is all shows where the girls look like pastel gremlins That just shows a lack of being able to understand anything more complex than a TV commercial, which is low-IQ sorry mate you're beyond my healing touch But I want to try anyways! What can I do to become like you? How do I cure myself of my terrible shit taste and learn to experience truly intellectual anime like FLCL, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, or Michiko to Hatachin? And if I do, will senpai finally notice me? |
|
| Idk, I've only seen One Direction/Justin Bieber fandoms in action... and umm, let's just say anime fans tend to be a little bit smarter than them. |
 |
| Hahaha, I agree with u kalypze. |
 |
| Not necessarily less intelligent, but some are pretty screwed in the head for seashore |
| All fans are the same. |

| Where's the No option? |
| "This is boring...I'm bored..." |
| Well...at least not with there money, I think other fandoms unless they dress up have to spend a bit less, I mean some figures cost $100+ dollars. |
 |
| Lol, anime fans are getting stupid because not only nerd weirdos are anime fans any more. Ok Op. |
