my taste in anime is generic enough that I can't really be an elitist but I still look down on people who never get out of the consuming trash phase/thinking isekai is good
I understand people can like what they want and its not really any of my business but I still can't get over people who stay watching stuff that is just objectively bad and created to make quick money for the light novel publisher or whatever

If you engage in demeaning another's taste because you think it's lesser than yours, and/or gatekeep anime, you are engaging in elitist behavior.

From my perspective if none of the following applies to you then you're not an elitist:

1) You hate a show just because it's popular.
2) You shit on others for liking shows that you hate.
3) Gatekeeping anime

Imo it's okay to look down on someone's taste but if u think you're superior than them because of your taste or treat them any worse than how you'd treat someone with good taste than you're shit.

consuming trash is not a phase, it's a way of life.

and isekai are good, maybe not most of them and probably not good in any conventional way that is about having great character writing, stellar narratives and so on, but they can be very enjoyable and be made with some care, passion and joy sometimes and so, be good in the way that like a b-movie can be good.

also, obligatory "no such thing as objectively bad" comment.

are you an elitist then? if you actually look down on people that think differently and like other stuff because of different standards and approaches, then at the very least, you have an elitist attitude in the worst possible way, but yeah, your favorites and so don't fit the stereotype i guess.

Very bold to say "I look down on people who never get out of the consuming trash phase" and "I can't get over people who stay watching stuff that is just objectively bad" when that's precisely what's on your list.

Hm, I guess “by definition” you are an elitist, although it’s a bit uncommon to find elitists who have Konosuba as one of their favorites. I’m not sure if you believe in an objective hierarchy when it comes to anime taste, but that is a big component to elitism.

I mean that is what happens, when authors only get their inspiration from the works of other authors. There is basically no other way to escape this pool of mediocrity, if your sole inspiration are the works of others and never actual, lasting experiences.

Personally, if I watch a "trash" show, it's because often times these shows are far more entertaining to watch. After all, the only thing that should matter is your own personal enjoyment. I'm fully aware of how shitty a lot of the stuff I watch is, and will even be the first to admit most of my favorites have serious flaws as well.

I don't know if I'd call you an "elitist", but I will say you probably care a little too much about what others watch.

Well, you don't have "LoGH" or "Texhnolyze" in your favorites, but you do have "Mushishi" there, so that's the beginning of an elitist. :P

That's your problem right there. People need to get over the idea of "objectivity" existing when it's really just another way of saying "I can't understand why you like this anime that I view as trash. So I'm going to reject any opinions that suggest otherwise as invalid."
