If this is truly the case, then I think my IQ has gone down the drain a long time ago.

I cant find the correct meme, and I'm too lazy to make it, but here goes-

Can't get dumber if you're already a retard.

But seriously, most anime do require a fair bit of intelligence to watch and appreciate. Entertainment and enjoyment doesn't necessarily make you dumber.

Don't worry whatever brain cells you possess aren't worth losing sleep over.

No. Just maintain proper health and you should be just fine. Read some good book and you're good to go.

Obligatory scientific answer, we lose brain cells all the time.

Difference is I have brains cells to lose XD

Most of times is a joke. When they says things like "I lost brain cells watching Mayoiga, SAO, Akame ga Kill!, Attack on Titan, etc." it's just a little joke they make trying to be funny, nothing harmful.
Now, when they says things like "I lost brain cells watching Utsu Musume Sayuri"... That is when things stop being little jokes and becomes the crude reality. Those people are not normal users, they are practically martyrs.

Because those people either are just plainly hate anime/manga in general or have been exposed to bad anime/manga too often.

I hope so, that's why I watch anime. Becoming more stupid is the ultimate goal of my life.
I probably regret this post by now.

I actually agree with that statement, and it's not just exclusive to anime.

My point is there are some shows or movies whether it's anime or not that gives bad influence to intelligence, especially porn and hentai.

I guess those people mix up their dementia with watching anime for some reason

If you actually let some shitty anime influence your intelligence, then you probably aren't the brightest bulb in the box to begin with. We have the capacity to differentiate between needless and useful information for a reason.

There does seem to be a negative correlation between amount of anime watched in days and intelligence...

Well you answered your own question... If you lost your brain cells... How are you able to spell or even have good enough motor skills to type?

Is it more close to mental fatigue? Since I think they exaggerated it so much to the point that most users meme the shit out of it and it became the norm. I dunno who started it though; as far as I know it's just another user on the internet.

I dunno and I don't care what is it they're trying to accomplish, since I know it's not world domination for all I care about. I don't see it as a joke because I'd see it from time to time in AD or users "assaulting" other users for their taste in anime.

Just look at this user. He surely don't know how to express his love for those reviewers, so doing the tsundere-way of how MALers do it will make it more evident.
