I am just wondering since I kinda do after realizing my taste in anime was bad. Do you ever feel insecure about your taste in anime?

As long as you don't have Naruto, Death Note, SAO and/or FMA (jk) you're good to go. No but for real why do you consider that you have a bad taste, is it because you only like mainstream anime (assumption) or...? Well it's not like I'm insecure, in fact I-I'd say my favorite list is "decent", though I think some of them are not liked by most people. Tbh lowering your mean score doesn't improve your taste either.

No, I don't think there's any reason to be insecure about my own opinions, especially online. Next time someone says your taste is shit ask them why, you'll find that most of the time they won't explain themselves and they're just talking shit for the sake of it. It's the same as the "your waifu is shit" thing, you can say it to most anime fans so it's the most basic insult but it doesn't mean much.

Your taste is your taste. It's what you as a person like. If you enjoy something than you shouldn't have to feel insecure about it.

Usually the people who would unironically care are ones I have no interest in getting along with to begin with, so therefore I see no reason to be. Not like I'm exactly trying to get people to like me at this point anyway, so w/e.

The only reason someone asks a question like this is if they're experiencing it themselves.

Gonna have to agree with Manaban on this one. ^^
Who really cares about your taste, it's kind of why it's called your taste, not everyone else's.

Don't let fuckboiis keep you from achieving perfect taste.
Let them wallow in self mediocrity, not pulling you down.

Everything was said in that post Dlwuik ! You probably should accept your own tastes and listen less to those who like to spend their time criticizing others tastes in animes ^^ If you take it seriously everytime it happens, you are gonna have a lot of trouble on MAL, because it's kind of a common thing, here ^^'...

I recently did....I love an anime like re:creators for example and have even analysed like every single minute of that show and can explain everything awesome about it....it was just that fun for me...but then apparently now in the anime community unless it's a certain show it's a crime to enjoy anything else or else you get treated like total trash for your "trash taste".

Advice to new anime fans...stay away from the anime community before it's too late and you stop enjoying anime

Please. My gaze is the measure of all things.

Thing is, pride and insecurity are intertwined. I'm proud (and prickly) when it comes to achievements. Watching <insert critically praised anime> isn't one. How can I be insecure in something I don't take much pride in?

This, I'd take pride in:



I'm gonna get me one of these.

EDIT: Incomplete line of thought. It was bugging me.

My taste is my taste and your taste is your own. People shouldn't feel 'insecure' about what they like for an anime series even if it's shitty to others.

If you do feel insecure about your taste, then I have to assume you feel insecure about something bigger. You shouldn't worry about it, after all it's YOUR taste. Who cares if it's good or not?
The only person who should be happy about it is yourself.
If watching what you used to doesn't make you happy anymore, then change it, but if you are happy doing what you do, then just do it.
You should never feel insecure for loving or doing something. Just do it. Be yourself and accept that sometimes guilty pleasures are the best.

Not really. All my favorite anime seem to align with the consensus's. The closest thing I have to an insecurity about them is the fear that those anime are my favorites, because, they line with the consensus, and that I do not love them out of my own volition.

No. I don't let other people's opinions influence my likes and dislikes. I like what I like, and I don't care what other people like either. It's anime, who cares?

No, I really don't give a shit, because I rate anime based on how much they bored me.

There is no bad taste. Everyone has their own tastes in anime. With that said sometimes I feel insecure about liking Naruto.. I don't know how to explain it, there's just something that makes me insecure about it. But oh well

The task we must set for ourselves is not to feel secure, but to be able to tolerate insecurity.

Do you ever feel insecure for not creating better bait thread than this? I'm sure you don't. Anyway, I have long since felt that MAL taste bs is just a meme overall; others takes it too seriously while others know it exist but just keep it to themselves.

No matter what you like, there's always going to be someone who thinks your taste is either not to their liking or bad. And even then, it's not like the person who went out of his way to bash your taste (assuming it's non-ironic) would've been friendly with you in the first place if he didn't find anything to insult about it.
