| When ever I go into a thread people especially negative thread people just can't seem to put "in my opinion" or something around those lines in their takes. I think it is pretty much necessary to do so because saying "X anime is shit" is inherently more douchey than saying "X anime is shit in my opinion". |

| It's unfortunate, but the best that you could glean from it is that it's implied. I don't think most sane people imply an objective stance on their opinions when they post on MAL anyways, unless they explicitly say so. |

| They wanna look badass and tough i guess? but most don't realize they came off as an ass sure Everyone has right to complain but try doing to it in a way that does not make look like an ass imo then there are people who just say x or y is shit because they are bored or they actively trying shit on a fandom or wanna cause a war |
| Because for majority of anime fans that are saying it think this: if they don't like some certain anime then that anime should be worst for everyone. |
| They'll always say it is 'implied' even when their tone, phrasing and choice of words suggest the exact opposite. Don't try to argue with them, it's not worth it. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| uhh, uhh...maybe they just forget to add it haha... Vexem said: It depends on how the person perceive it thoEven if they add that line or even if they don't, they are surely going to get bashing from the fans for having a different opinion |

| The fact that it’s their opinion is almost always inherent. There’s not really a reason to state it. |
 |
| Well... my opinions are facts, so there's no point in me saying "in my opinion" idk about other people tho |
 |
| I don't really think there's a problem with it. Do you really want people to say “I think” and “just an opinion” everytime they had to express something when these are clearly patronizing expressions of manufactured self-doubt in the guise of humility? when somebody say that an anime is bad, they obviously stating an opinion. It just, there can be bad opinions and badly-expressed opinions. Also title is misleading. |

| In my opinion, you are right Fghhgghggh |
| "X anime is shit in my opinion" may sound less aggressive than "X anime is shit", but in the end they have the same meaning. It's not a matter of "implying", they literally have the same meaning. If an anime is appalling (1/10) to me but I can understand its appeal, I wouldn't call it "shit" in the first place, not even "shit in my opinion". |

Adimus_prime said: Eh, but if you say "X anime is shit" of course it's your opinion. That's like someone saying "that girl is hot", so you just assume she must be hot. Why would you do that? You have no idea what their tastes are; they didn't give a detailed explanation on how she is hot, no, they just said "that girl is hot". The issue isn't the lack of people prefacing a statement, saying, "this is an opinion"; the issue is people that can't do half a second of inference to conclude that what was just said was an opinion.When ever I go into a thread people especially negative thread people just can't seem to put "in my opinion" or something around those lines in their takes. I think it is pretty much necessary to do so because saying "X anime is shit" is inherently more douchey than saying "X anime is shit in my opinion". It's exceptionally redundant to label an opinion as an opinion when it's obviously an opinion. It's kinda like the phrase, "I thought to myself"; "to myself" is completely unnecessary, like, no shit you thought to yourself, that's how thinking works. |
| Poyo. |
|
| Everything in a piece of fiction are opinions. Wether it's Guts being a great character or Kirito being trash, they are not facts but rather very common opinions. Everything should be taken as an opinion wether they imply it or not. |
 |
| Hmm, idk. Don't you think it's already clear that when people posts in the forums it is obviously called "An opinion"? So I don't see why it is necesarry to say everytime "In my opinion. In fact, I find it very sad that people have to say this when stating their opinion. Also, I've seen people ruining other's fun. When people were discussing an anime they liked, a rando said "This anime is shit IMO" and that came off as very annoying. So whether you add "Imo" or not, doesn't make a single damn difference.

| There is no point in stating the obvious, everything that is not a fact is an opinion. |
  โค Incessant Rain โค “Can you let me have some fun this time?”  |
| Not saying “in my opinion” when stating controversial and negative opinions in a very confident manner, tends to get more people to react and comment. In many cases, it is a form of clickbait. On the other hand, if the person isn’t stating any controversial opinion, and not being a negative Nancy, then I think people will get the idea that he/she isn’t trying to be a douche. A positive thing about not saying “in my opinion” is that your opinion may hold more weight. People may have a stronger impression of you; whether that impression is positive or negative, largely depends on your tone, intentions, and whether your statements are negative or controversial or not. |
| I always remember to put "imo" in every statement I make, cause people here can be really mean when they want xD |
  "I wonder if anything will ever change? Will that day ever come?" - Okazaki, Tomoya "Nothing can stay unchanged. Fun things… Happy things… They can’t possibly remain the same." - Furukawa, Nagisa |
| The only reason why I'd want to put "in my opinion" is to either get skipped over by aggressive people or because of that one certain limit. Everything not supported by evidence or proper argumentation is an opinion. In my opinion XD Anyway, I don't find it necessary to "state the obvious" like others said because even if someone says my favorite anime is shit it doesn't take away anything from the quality or enjoyment. The anime stays the same. Say you do doubt yourself after reading such a comment then it could be worth re-watching that anime. Worst case scenario you decide it's still a masterpiece (in your opinion) and you gave yourself a couple hours of joy which honestly ain't too bad in this day and age. There have been cases where an anime I enjoyed originally came to my attention BECAUSE it was hated on so much. I am very much one of "one man's trash is another man's treasure". I even participate in a monthly challenge where you watch another person's lowest scored anime. |
 |
| In my opinion, it'd get pretty annoying to write "In my opinion' every single time I want to express my opinion. |
| How am I supposed to decide what to write, I can't choose an anime to watch to save my life, you think I can pick a signature? |
| I think it should be assumed that it's their opinion, whether they admit it or not. |
Teach a man to cook, and he can’t fish. But teach a man to fish, and he feeds himself and cooks. -๐ง ( ° ω หฃ ) |
| I always write "imo" at the end of my opinions so that I don't have some random no-lifer weeb on the internet nitpick my factual takes and rant about it. |
| I thought it was already known that everything I post here is my opinion. why would it be a fact? it's a pain to always add those words |
    |
| You're right, in my opinion, but I think it's implied that people are just giving their opinions, in my opinion. I hope people will fix this issue, in my opinion |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Pretty much boils down to their own arrogance. They think their opinions are absolute and treat it like facts. They're just the type of people that need to get some sun and you should simply ignore their existence. |
| "No one hates anime more than the anime community, which is composed of some of the most spoiled, immature, pessimist and ungrateful people on Earth." -Anonymous anime watcher |
| lol seriously people? What the heck is going on here? According to some, stating that their opinion is indeed an opinion is the difference that makes someone arrogant and egoistic who believe their opinion is fact. I thought it would be necessary to be arrogant in order to be called as such, but I guess it was a lot easier than expected. |
| Because I've already fulfilled 30-character limit or something, in my bloody opinion. Happy, OP? Also, use some punctuation before judging people who doesn't attach 'in my opinion', which is too obvious that it is 'my opinion'. |

Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| After a while, you just arto-insert the phrase into what they're saying. |
 |
| Because some people actually believe what they're saying isn't just their opinion but objectively true lol |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Because it's redundant? Unless you're stating a fact like 2+2=4 or AoT sucks, everything is only an opinion. It's just an unnecessary addition most of the time, and often it makes you seem defensive about what you're saying. |
| You know, I'm always annoyed when people started their comment/video with something along the line of "this is just my opinion and it's fine to disagree". Like, wasn't that obvious? Why do you have to point that out? Judging from this thread though, I guess they DO need to point it out after all. |
 |
| The thing is, you have threads like the aforementioned, and the same people will be the ones to call out how objectivity doesn't exist, or if anything, joke about being objective. I am not cynical enough to believe that people unironically say that their opinion is simply correct (doesn't make sense in more than one way). Even if they do, then that is prolly just that one braindead person. |
| Hmmmm no, I don't think I will. Your favourite anime is garbage(objectively) |
 |
| It's obviously just their opinion, so they don't need to clarify it. |
| We are all a bunch of tsunderes Imho ofc |
| Because everyone thinks their opinions are "facts" and not just something they think based on a personal perspective.... At least in general... |
 |
| In the appropriate context it is implied and you don't need to say it. That's why a lot of people don't. |
| I write this every time but only my Patreon donors get the full versions of my posts. |
| Aren't everything in the forums just an opinion though? We don't really need to add it. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Because some people actually think their opinion is worth more than it actually is. |
| Rather than simply "in my opinion", they should add "from all I have watched" kind of phrase. It's disturbing hearing someone who have watched only like 25 anime say something about "the best xxx ever" or someone who have only watched 3 mecha anime say that "all mecha anime except of those 3 are bad" when they actually don't know the others. |
