Why would I let fiction offend me lol

It's just like "banned books day", seriously people get offended by imaginary works? Really?

No. I don't understand why I would be.

Fiction is created by people. And people can be offended by what creators express through the fiction they create. Nobody is telling you to be offended, but you guys should at least acknowledge that there are indeed things that people can, will, and should be offended by.

Let's say an author is racist; this author continuously proves this notion (through how he/she treats a certain character of a specific race). Why shouldn't anyone be offended by that?

I wouldn't go as far as to say I've been seriously offended by an anime, but there are certainly a few that have made me feel pretty uncomfortable. For instance, while I was watching Katekyo Hitman Reborn! the underlying sexist themes really started to get to me after a while. The oddest part about it was the author being a woman herself. It's one thing when you have a harem series, and everyone knows the jokes are there for a laugh, but not taken seriously. With Hitman it really started to get to me because it wasn't one or two instances of offensive stereotyping, but the entire freaking series without ever acknowledging they were doing it.

While it didn't 'offend' me as such either, it certainly did stand out. I suppose it could have been a side-effect of the mangaka needing to focus on her bishie warriors at the expense of any realistic/interesting portrayal of man side characters. Naruto, for example suffers from this as well, so it's not exactly a one-off thing within Shounen Jump series.

Yes, I'm offended by One Piece. I believe all the writers in the world and even those who just like to write for fun, like me, should be offended by this piece of shit. A shitty story that just any 10 year old could write, but the difference is that this asshole was narcissistic enough to try and get it published and it's somehow become extremely successful. What the fuck!?

Yeah that's the most offensive part to me usually. It could just be misogyny in the anime/otaku culture though? Sort of like a lot of the comic book and "geek" culture in the US is somewhat misogynistic. With like the idea of fake geek girls and things.

I don't think I've ever been offended by anime before. How would an anime offend you anyway?

I suppose if an anime insults the audience's intelligence then perhaps that could offend some people.

For example if a harem anime tries to pass itself off as a legitimately good anime with a mediocre plot when in fact it's just trying to sell it's mature scenes.

The only anime I can think of right now is Medabots. I rewatched a couple episodes the other day and was amazed at how stupid the anime was.

They must have thought the kids watching the show would like anything, even the same garbage repeated over and over again.

Unless the Anime calls me out directly (impossible unless I become one of the most notorious people on the planet) or if it continuously says something offensive about my general social group / community, anime wont offend me.

Personally, I haven't been offended ever by anime and I don't see it happening in the future. Canadians in anime are very rare and even when they're, I quite enjoy Canadian stereotypes. It makes me even more proud ;p

I've been offended by something someone has said in anime. When it's for serious purposes of course (not relating to the situation or humor if any itself). I've never been butt hurt though. If you're going to cry over something a animated character said you are most definitely a closet Yandere.

I dunno what kind of offended that you mean on this thread, but I did feel offended of some animes where they made me expect great things from the series in the beginning, but in the later episode they just messed up all the plot and the whole series. its upset me and offended me in its own way.. ._.

I'm pretty hard to offend when it comes to films, games, books and series. One thing I do find annoying though is the overall trend of bad writing and poor character building in many anime. It kind of just insults your intelligence.... oh, sorry.. I mean they're brilliant. All anime characters are excellent.

On a related note. Here are the top 5 female anime characters of ALL TIME! :

Now the only think left is to make a list of the top 5 male anime characters of all time... I mean.. there are so many great characters with great traits to chose from ⸮.. I think I've made my point.
