| Not sure there really is any discrimination... I love ecchi, harem and yuri, no one seems to bother me about it. |
| No one one's gonna discriminate you unless you're a male watching yaoi |
| You just meet the wrong people and you are too sensitive. |

veryidehen said: i guess you are all right Godplayer i agree with that one watching yaoi is very wrong for a guy. the only times i am bothered is for when i am looking or new ones What the fuck are you talking about? It's not wrong for a guy to watch yaoi. It's a man's right to watch whatever he wants, be it yaoi or yuri or 2 girls 1 cup. |

veryidehen said: for reals though you watch yaoi OK that's what you enjoy i do enjoy Yuri though 2 girls and 1 cup has scared me for life anyway i have learnt not to take things to heart i don't usually it just pisses me off when people get up in my business When people get "up in your business"... Seriously? That was childish, he wasn't saying that he like Yaoi, he wasn't saying there isn't anything wrong with liking it, which there isn't. |

| I have nothing against Yuri/Ecchi/Harem watchers ... I DO have something against Ecchi/Harems though, and that is that I do not find them good ... at all ... They are the most unoriginal and poorly written genre I have come across (not all, but the majority, also this goes for reverse harems too just fyi) ... I also don't hate Yuri watchers however ... I do find most to be hypocritical R-tards who give fujoshi (female fans of yaoi) a hard time ... If you watch yuri but go "Yoai is gross and stupid" (or vice versa) please just keep that to yourself cause you only make yourself seem retarded in the process ... I would say that if you are going to claim that Ecchi/Harems are "good" on the other hand, well ... I guess that depends on what you consider good (I like seinen/josei/shoujo smut in manga but I would never be idiotic enough to claim it is "good" in any sense of the word, a few may be okay, but the majority are lacking in plot/characters/originality, in that sense it is more like a guilty pleasure of mine). The same could be said of Ecchi/Harems, if you like them, that is great, opinions make the world go round ... But if you are looking for sympathy on MAL because you do something as stupid as saying "Ecchi/Harems are unique" or "All Ecchi/Harems have a solid plot" ... -_- ... you can sure as hell count me in on the side that says "Teh fuq? Since when was LSD legal?" Also should note a few things wrong with OP ... 1. Ecchi/Harems ARE Slice of Life anime (most are a little bit more unrealistic than what you would classify as actually being "slice of life" but the majority are episodic and in a school setting on the beautiful planet Earth) 2. Ecchi/Harems use the basic principal "Sex sells", and Ecchi implies that the show is geared towards perverted jokes ... Saying you enjoy Ecchi/Harems not because of the perverted nature of them ... Well it would be like me saying I enjoy chocolate but not because of the chocolate taste ... It simply comes off as trying to make an excuse for your guilty pleasure, which everyone has so you don't need to grasp at straws as to why you like it ... |

| Discrimination ins kind of a strong word to describe this. We're on the Internet, in a forum, moreover. You are bound to get insulted in here because you like something. People are like that. When the do not have the same tastes than you, they're just going to insult you and tell you you have shitty tastes. I love ecchi/harem and I don't watch Yuri, I don't fucking care what all of you think :) |

I think I will take it as a childish comment. |

Not another rant thread... |
| You're just getting butt hurt because other people rate anime based on how good it is as a whole, not just because it has fan-service, which you probably do. I enjoy ecchi, yuri, etc. but only if the characters and the whole package are worthy as well. I.e. queen's blade (which I haven't watched but I suspect I won't enjoy, even the ecchi because the show itself is supposed to be pretty bad... I still have to watch it to confirm though, but I'm quite sure.) |
 I love you. |
1. Ecchi/Harems ARE Slice of Life anime (most are a little bit more unrealistic than what you would classify as actually being "slice of life" but the majority are episodic and in a school setting on the beautiful planet Earth) That's not what "slice of life" means. |
Zalis said: "Slice of Life story portrays a “cut-out” sequence of events in a character’s life. It may or may not contain any plot progress and little character development, and often has no exposition, conflict, or dénouement, with an open ending. It usually tries to depict the everyday life of ordinary people, sometimes but rarely, with fantasy or science fiction elements involved."1. Ecchi/Harems ARE Slice of Life anime (most are a little bit more unrealistic than what you would classify as actually being "slice of life" but the majority are episodic and in a school setting on the beautiful planet Earth) That's not what "slice of life" means.(you may be saying "The ordinary person doesn't have a harem", but consider why the average ecchi/harem male lead is they way he is, (plain, over-emphasis on being "average", not overly athletic, intelligent or good looking), this is so that the male audience can place themself in the place of the character (the lack of character development helps allow one place themself in to the roll of the MC, same technique was used in things like Twilight fyi), they go through such great lengths to make it sound like this (while being ridiculous) could still happen to the underdog, the average joe, it is sort of twisted but most Ecchi/Harems undeniably contain the basics of "Slice of Life", and this is very much on purpose, the typical lack of a strong plot and open ending however is usually because this would require drama and some level of individuality/writing (i.e. it isn't necessary to expend that much effort on something that is mainly relying on sex sells and the idea the MC is you), the "open ending" bit is similar to slice of life however implemented for a different reason in this case) It should also be noted that Slice of Life is NEVER a stand alone genre, it will always contain some other genre, why? Because a "pure slice-of-life" would literally be the equivalent of just filming a person's normal day, and no, not putting emphasis on certain key events, but literally just follow the mundane and every day life ... knowing this you could infer that the average Ecchi/Harem is also a Slice of Life with a focus on comedy brought about through perversion. |

| Hate the content, not the people who watch it. If you met people who can't respect the watchers' preferences like that, then you have unfortunately met the wrong people. Ignore them and move on. Hell, this is a problem for people who just watch anime in general. |
This topic has not been locked and is still available for discussion. |
| Seems like people treat the forums more like it's their blog or something. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |

I too am pissed when words lose their meaning. Slice of life, coming of age, moe... they don't mean anything anymore. |
DateYutaka said: SLICE OF LIFE STILL PULLS BIG NUMBERS IN TV RATINGS i mean the real sol shows that have been popuar since before 90 percentof people who use this site were born my view is the form of SOL you guys view are the Moe[ So Called Otaku padering ones [ but people who use otaku have no idea what it means] Which SOL shows pull in large ratings? Or do most of them in general have high popularity? I guess people just enjoy watching laid back shows to unwind and calm down after long days. To answer OP, I see people hate on ecchi shows, but not ecchi viewers. Maybe you just run into the wrong people, or are too easily insulted. Just blow them off, ignore them and carry on with your day. |
DateYutaka said: and the whole lack of shojo ai and Yuri anime comes from the fact that i think deep down the creators know that outside of Ero anime the best two that could possibae be made have been made so the makes of Shojp ai come up with Limp wrist manga/anime like yuru yuri[ or what ever its called] Which two shoujo ai shows are the two best ones? Do you not recommend Yuru Yuri? I haven't seen it but it seem to be acclaimed by the majority of MAL. I laughed at "limp wrist" lol |

On MAL, everybodies favorite yuri anime would be Sono Hanabira. |

I laughed at "limp wrist" lol Utena and Marimite are the two best bt far I watched the first 10 episodes of Utena and it didn't catch my attention (it seemed to be a little repetitive). Maybe I should give it another chance. I don't remember too much shoujo ai or yuri. I haven't seen Marimite. I don't think anyone would discriminate someone for watching and liking Utena, though. |
