| I would say yes. Instead of negative I would like to say critical. It’s just that a lot of the users here are regular anime watchers and have watched a lot of anime. So it’s natural that a lot of them start to become more critical of the anime they watch. So they start to judge it harder. Where as when ppl or the casuals watch the popular anime or the more generic shows they still like it a lot cause they haven’t watched a lot of variety. Idk if I misunderstood your question but hopefully this explanation makes sense |

| It's just trendy to hate on AoT on MAL. That's all there is to it. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| Reddit, youtube, etc. encourage popular opinion and discourage having an unpopular opinion. Whereas MAL is the place where I can login and call out shit like AoT, Berserk, etc. for being shit. Also, not to mention, the people on other sites are comparatively noobs and don't know good from bad. |

| If you go by the forums then the answer is yes, but the forums are like 0.1% of the MAL community and if you go by the ratings then the community is not negative at all. These last 2 years I have never seen more inflated anime scores than today. A rating of 8.5 was supposed to mean that it is very good and not average like they use it now. Instead of using 1-10 and actually make the ratings matter when someone tries to find a new show to watch, these normies use this absolutely idiotic rating system: 10 - your favorite anime 9 - good 8 - ok 7 - average 6 - bad 5 - 2 is not in use 1 - for rating the one anime they hate so the score goes down Because of this you should watch any anime no matter the rating because it is literally just a popularity contest. |

| When it comes to this series, /a/ is way more negative. |

| Yes because Mal has user profilc, which can show your favorites and scorings, where you can intentionally/unintentionally brag your taste to others. "Why does he says negatively to my fav anime *inserts mainstream anime*" *Checks his profile* hmm *sees obscure echhi series scored 10/10 while mainstream 1/10* "Understable have a nice day..." Edit: different scenario "How can he get bored to my *inserts obscure anime*" *Checks his profile* hmm *Sees mainstream ecchi series scored 10/10 while obscure 1/10* "Pathetic...have a nice day" |

Instead of that kinda bs though I just rate the show based off my enjoyment of it, while keeping my actual analysis of the shows focal points to myself cause otherwise I would end up rating a lot of things a lot lower despite the enjoyment of the show being higher than the quality of what was watchedIf you go by the forums then the answer is yes, but the forums are like 0.1% of the MAL community and if you go by the ratings then the community is not negative at all.

Rating of off just enjoyment is literally not bad when you have dudes rating with just 6-10 and lightly using 10's and 1's that skew the ratings to uselessness. |

| They all equally bad, it's harder to find any negative opinions on Reddit and youtube because they all got downvoted and disliked to death, they only shows those with the most upvotes and likes. |
| Go read 'Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece' If you like webnovel with historical, military and kingdom building genre. |
| maybe. but that's just because mal is made for anime so discussion here is more on point, usually |
| Mal users are not necessary more negative. What you're observing is the difference in structure mal and other forums like reddit have. Forums with an upvote/downvote system tend to "train" their user with positive reinforcement aka upvotes and crush descending opinions, thus creating little bubbles of people with a uniform opinion. On Mal on the other hand there will always be a person to shit on your favorite series without the downvotes filtering it, hence you perceive it as people being negative. Mal and traditional forums are superior for discussion, because having your views challenged is better than living in a bubble. |
| Too many people in the internet, I guess. |
