| Things like hajime no ippo doesnt sell shit, but the fujoshi bait yuri on ice anime (no offense to gay people I suport all of you) sells like hot cakes. Keijo!! Sold so terrible while k-on sold so fucking good.. Like what's up with japan's taste? |

| Pretty sure Hajime no Ippo has incredibly high manga sales. |
| :) |
| Because you pick and choose what you remember, regardless of what actually happens. Look for an actual list of top selling anime/manga. Oh right, action shounens are still dominating. What's yaoi bait and moe? |

| Are you talking about the community or about sales? Because sales data largely comes from Japan and the anime communities we participate in are mostly western so they're not the same thing. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Are you implying that sweaty buff shirtless men beating each other isn't clearly gay bait? |

Don't compare HNI with YOI I actually didn't compare them, you did in your first post. I just said it could totally be gay bait. Edit: If you want to compared the level of gay bait I guess different strokes for different folks but that's none of my business with those two specific examples. |

| > Wht's with Jap's taste A westerner like you(us) would probably not get? Anyway, if you compare ecchi threads va moe threads, the former have more to be honest. desseroni said: Pretty sure Hajime no Ippo has incredibly high manga sales. Let's ignore the fact that it will alsohave R18+ doujinshi |
| I'm not sure how full it is because I'm not interested in "gay bait" (whatever that is) and not that interested in moe anime. lol i almost typed "gait" > what about an anime about horse racing perhaps On the other hand, no one ever makes the kind of show I'd most like. Been scratching around but not quite hitting an itch, for a while now. |

| Boy, Japan is gay as fuck, didn't you know that? |

| I don't understand why you think Japan's taste is somehow "distinct" from Western tastes when Japan is infused and extremely sympathetic to a Western "aesthetic." If anything, I would not be surprised if you found that anime fans in the West would buy these shows in the same proportions as they do in Japan. Once again, gaijins have fallen for the "Japan is so different from us!" meme. |

| in a way, all shows are gaybait. my evidence is that 2-3 years ago i skimmed through 4 seasons of zero no tsukaima just for elf girl bitch fanservice. |

| I think people would prefer gay anime over gay bait anime, except actual gay anime would not do all that well so the result is bait |
| Takamura is back at it again with pointless shitty threads. Put some effort into your posts please. |
| I wish I lived in the same reallity you do.I like me some gay bait anime and moe shit. |
S-quare22 said: >gay bait Seems like girls are slowly colonizing the anime community. >moe anime Most anime watchers are males and they need cute grills. Dunno, at least in my country there seem to be more female anime fans than male anime fans. I see more girls and women at anime conventions than men (and no, only a few of them are cosplayers). As for mal, I've been on mal since 2009 (gosh, it has been so long ago) and I've always seen a ton of female users. There seemed to be more female users back then than now. Now it seems to be more male users. As for fujoshi bait, yaoi/shounen ai vibes sell, A LOT. And fujoshis in Japan - a lot of them adult women with jobs- have a lot of spending power to influence trends: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2016-12-21/what-is-a-fujoshi/.109594 I don't usually ship male characters with each other if they aren't canon (with a few exceptions). But hardcore fujoshis ship almost all good looking guys with each other (and they are plentiful in anime). I think it's because they're used to reading a lot of yaoi manga, which are in the thousands so it's common place for them to read about boy's love. But there are few yaoi/shounen ai anime so they get what they can and if they can't, they start shipping straight guys with each other. Fujoshis are usually very toxic (not all of them, but most) so I tend to stay away from that community. I used to read yaoi, but stopped after reading most of the good ones and the rest were garbage. It's too much work digging through dirt to find one gem. I'm too tired for that shit. The yuri community on the other hand is much more welcoming and nice <3 |
| Idk but I think I'm falling in that shit cause I love the relationship between Guts and Schierke more than Guts x Casca , Am I now a lolicon? |
