Elistists are kinda fanatics of the obscure and deep shows... I hate all kind of fanatism, so of course I dislike them. But the newcomers claming that X show it's the best are even worse. I don't get the crazy overhype that they show.

DISCLAIMER: saying that you like or love something it's fine. Saying that it's the best it's wrong and dumb.

Yes, cause we all know throwing shit at people is how you start a civil discussion.
Oh and linking a youtube video does absolutely nothing for your point lol.
The beauty of humans is that they say one thing then do another, but at the same time that can also be their ugliest side.

If there's really that many people in the world, then there had to be someone who wasn't ordinary. There had to be someone who was living an interesting life. There just had to be. Why wasn't I that person? -Suzumiya Haruhi

to try and look down on others while hiding the fact that they have horrible lives.
"among monsters and humans, there are only two types.
Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice
“Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume
“Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus

Elitists don't actually exist, they just think they do.
When being referred to, people are referring to the concept or presumed mindset of an elitist, not an actual person.

You're never too old to watch anime.
If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead.

I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime.

Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language.

Elitists aren't always sharing their opinions, Elitisim is based on what you like not how you interact with others.
There's nothing wrong with it unless its toxic.

I think.

Being an elitist doesn't necessarily mean you have to be a dickhead, please do not conflate these things. An elitist is a person with high standards, they may hold those standards unjunstly in which case you may call them a poser, they may seek to put others down for not conforming with their high standards in which you might call them short-tempered, petty or narcissistic, but the mere act of having high standards does not make you a bad person, if anything someone who puts others down for having high standards is the petty one in this scenario.

Because they have no life and use their taste in media to justify their existence. This is 100% true for anyone who actually believes they're better than others because of what they watch, and no one can change my mind. Everyone else is probably just joking because who gives a shit about what Japanimation others watch.

I think it's a natural evolution of anyone who is not new to a hobby or interest. You start being more familiar with the content, identifying patterns and themes, and often start having higher standards (or more criticisms) because you've already experienced a lot of the material provided. You see this in books and music preferences, because you can identify nuance and appreciate 'deeper' content the more familiar you are with surface level/entry level stuff. Not that gatekeeping or elitism can't be obnoxious or rudely executed,because they can! But, I see this in board games and video games too i.e. what might be accessible and fun to my mom/a casual fan or someone new may not be challenging or entertaining enough for someone who has gone through that already. I'm in an anime group on fb that has a more 'elite' group because the original group was constantly swamped with dbz/one piece/naruto stuff, and it made it difficult to talk about new anime or ones that weren't seasonal blockbusters

Some people will take any opportunity they get to look down on others to feel better about themselves, even if it's something as trivial as media taste.

New generation anime fans, meet old generation anime fans.
Let me tell you, it's not easy continuing to watch anime that's not aimed at you. It's not impossible, but it's so different, compared to how it was in my day. The painful part, is that it's aimed at you and those that come after you, leaving us old-timers behind.
So some of us quit, others adapt and then there's the dreaded Elitist.
I apologize on they're behalf, they couldn't adapt, but refuse to quit, a contradictory bunch.

I mean we all enjoy the shows we do but why do people like to put others on blast just cause we different?

Low self-esteem and insecurities of all sorts make people act like that. They are struggling to fight one thing they feel to be good at, even something as mundane as watching certain types of shows, because they can't really impress anyone by any talent or skill that they have (or rather they lack having).

They might be just edgy jerks as well, or simply kids. The worst mix is when an edult is the former, but their mindset is like of an angry kid, lol.

Because overhyping fanboys exist.

Yeah, that's another side of the same coin - people who are overly hyped over shows and react with really nasty toxicity towards anyone who simple didn't enjoy the show they love themselves. The more civilized way is chosen to explain what one liked about an anime and what one disliked about it, the worse, from what I saw. Haters are treated more lightly by angry mob of "typical weebs". ;p

They're losers. They try to make up for their lack of specialness in reality by trying to make it seem like they're somebody online. I mean, how pathetic is it to assert superiority over someone for their taste in television? Many of these people can act like professional writers all they want. But they'll probably never have a famous piece of work to their name unlike the mangakas they trash on.

Elitists can be anywhere in various media, just your delusional person who thinks their taste is superior to everybody else. It's a weird mentality I guess
