| I had recently gotten a friend interested in anime to a point where she now goes onto the net herself to download series(opposed to having borrowed my dvd's) and she had pointed this out to me in an earlier conversation. She had been joining a few chat forums in regards to anime(not sure if she's in MAL) and had come to the conclusion that anime followers who log in are the worst type as they try to flame you at every possible moment when talking about a particular series/discussion. I wanted to oppose what she said, but now that I look back to most of the shit I use to post few years back on here, I can see where she's coming from(resident troll to a few anime/manga sites). So topic is, do you think anime/manga communities have the worst followers? |
| no go onto video game forums |

| O_o um anime communities are the friendliest communities i've ever been on... WHAT IS SHE ON?! |
 |
| She hasn't been around the internet much has she? |
| No. |
 |
| No. |
 |
| Well we do have... not sure if I should drop names here... that one guy. |
| Internets a scary place. |

| I mean, MAL is tenfold worse than the music forum I post on, but I can see the videogame community being a lot worse. The comments I read on IGN and other sites sometimes, man, lol. I can't speak to this, but I imagine fitness communities would be pretty brutal as well, unless it's dedicated to running/biking/long distance sports that annoying people tend to avoid. |

| This and Video Game forums. mostly because the majority of the fans are teenagers. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |

| Welcome to the wonderful world of the internet. As others have stated, video game forums are 10x worse. Tell her to man up. Yes, man up. |
Jigero said: mostly because the majority of the fans are teenagers. Pretty much. The older the average age, the better the community. |

| I do not have sufficient data to make such a decision. However; Clous said: Internets a scary place. |
| No good communities exist. Unless everyone's dumping porn which in that case everyone is willing to contribute constructively. |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

| I won't say anime forums have the worst communities mostly due to my ignorance.It's not that bad. All I can do is make guesses about other communities. |
| My Devianart Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan. |
shairn said: Post-Josh said: I'm willing to consider a bell curve on that theory.Pretty much. The older the average age, the better the community. I'm basing my theory on two communities. I assume MAL's average age is around 18-19, while I assume the other's is around 21-23. One is better than the other, therefore theory proved. Statistics, who needs them? |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| Maybe not the worst, but probably one of the worst. MAL doesn't seem to be as bad as some other anime communities though. |
 |
| I used to post on somewhere called rsc many years ago although basically all the runescapers were ~15 the community was pretty chill and there wasn't any trolling (cause that wasn't in fashion) or stuff like that. much better than here for intelligent discussion too-talk about the civil war, revolts, stuff like that was pretty fun over here most people make assumptions w/o sources and there are a lot of elitists |

| No, try a MOBAfire game. Or video games in general. She must be new to foruming then if she thinks anime forums are bad... she hasn't seen anything yet. |
| I don't think it's the worst. People where quick to receive me here with a warm welcome. If MAL is anything it's opinionated, but that's why I joined in the first place :) |
 |
| The only community worse than MAL would be XBL or PSN lobbies. Nothing but a bunch of douchebags in one zone |

Statistics, who needs them? You know what, I think it may be a bell curve. I think the peak age is probably mid-teens. The only other forum I visited with a similar to age to what most anime forum members would be was a forum for high school/A-level students, TSR. It was awful, I think a lot "young adults" just get to an age where they think no one knows more than them, it's about 16-17 y/o's, imo. lol. |

| I think political forums might be worse. |

| Video game community is way worse than the anime one. Trapalicious said: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/ Need I say more? Didn't know about this forum. Holy shit. Some posts made me sick. |

| MAL is definitely a lot better than video game communities. Well the only exception being maybe the smogon community (Pokemon fans might know this). Anyways, most video games forums are filled with trolls and flamers ready to harp on every single thing you post. I find it infuriating to be on them, so I stick to lurking on those forums. |

| No I disagree. |

| No. Anime communities aren't friendly in general, but they're definitely not the worse. Video games and politics forums are far worse imo. Also, I think MAL is one of the friendliest anime communities. |
 |
| No. Videogames forums are worse. |
