in other words you are what you consume so how true is this words anyway? i keep seeing people especially trolls saying if you watch shonen then youre dumb but if you watch seinen then youre smart for example

i voted rarely

dont bother mentioning lolis and shotas please its against the rules so just argue in a general manner

An intriguing notion, but the last person to say that was so obnoxious I blocked her.

If someone let others tell them who they are. Then they're either amnesiac or just doesn't have a firm conviction of their own.

Since when demographics have anything to do with the audience's inteligence? I have seen smarter kids in school whom I teach than many internet insulters of shounen series.

I'd say it is rarely/never, it's similar to music, just because a guy have long hairs doesn't mean by deffault that he's going to listen to heavy metal.

Sometimes. For example what you find funny can tell something about your personality, but I wouldn't say that shounen = dumb and seinen = smart.

You can tell what they like, not who they are.
No, this isn't my signature.

I don't think there's much merit to determining who a person is based solely on the type of anime they consume tbh.

You can easily imagine someone who strictly engages with cute romance or slice of life series to be kind and sweet people, but some people who like to watch exclusively "wholesome" anime go on to harass people online because someone out there drew an anime character in a way they don't like.
And likewise, you can imagine someone who likes dark or controversial anime to be total edgelords, but there are so many people who enjoy edgy shows who are incredibly sweet and friendly in person.

Sure, I can't say there's never a case where you can tell what kind of person someone is by the fiction they engage with, but it's simply not a good metric to judge a person by.

Kinda true in certain instances. There are times were people who consume certain things end up going on to do some messed up shit, but there's usually other variables. Mental health, poor living conditions, etc. But, saying something like "you must be dumb if you like shounen" is a dumber action than watching shounen stuff will ever be. Especially if you aren't just trolling and actually believe that. By that logic, I could say everyone who doesn't watch shounen is an asshole just because I've seen several people shit talk shounen fans.

"tell me what anime you watch and i will tell you who you are"

Only if you know what I am liking it fot...tho people usually assume that other people like and dislike the same things as them, which is rarely true.
Thus, there's only as slim chance to deduce me from my favourites or whatnot.

For manga I think I lean heavily into horror and isekai. And for anime I guess slice of life comedy and sci-fi/fantasy

@aweebwhoexists Even so. You seem to like it less than the other genres. Score considered you like Drama more. So you search for Comedy and vibe more with Drama. It seems you are fighting this bad trip that consumes you. So you keep putting a fake smile and find happiness out there.
/jk this was meant to be as horoscopical, vague and pseudocientific as I can.

People have to remember Junji Ito is smily and Togashi is hard working. Some things are hard to account by profile and stereotype.

@Sasori56483 Lol good point actually. I guess I'm a bit picky with my comedy anime. It takes a lot to make me laugh wholeheartedly it seems. xD

Insulting someone's intelligence because of the demographic a show they like was made for is stupid. There can be stuff made for younger audiences that have deep themes or solid writing, and stuff made for adults that just falls flat on it's face and only uses surface level stuff to try and appeal to people.

That being said i fit the stereoype of the Queer person who loves Jojo's Bizarre Adventure as i am both pansexual and trans lmao.
This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.

Only one mangaka ever was caught in the act. Furthermore, his work was not even remotely related to loli. Could any of the Sherlocks have guessed?

The inverse of this is very true apparently. If someone is really forcing this nonesense I can tell very well what kind of person I am dealing with.
