Idk, there's just something about new people that makes them so hated for some irrational reason. Freshmen, noobs, anything related to zoomers. Do you just have a strong distaste for new anime fans?

Please tell me what you have to say. Thank you.

I dont really hate them, but if they are those who refuse to watch older or non-mainstream anime and claim they are some kind of expert weebs or whatever then they are just stupid.

I just have a strong distaste to mal users.

I can't really hate any new fans when we don't really have anything in common nor reason to mingle.

not really "hate". it's just kind of annoying though when people have absolutely no awareness of older anime whatsoever and act like they've seen it all, when all they've seen is like jujutsu kaisen and rent-a-gf

No, it doesn't make much sense to hate new fans just for being new fans, since everyone started out that way at some point, no matter how long they've been watching anime or how much they've seen. And I'm sure a lot of us once had views or habits that seemed really obnoxious or close-minded to long-time fans, but we changed over time. The same thing will happen to today's new fans, and they it'll be their turn to be annoyed by even newer fans.

I don't really engage in the fandom that much anymore so I probably don't see most of the annoying aspects (which honestly exists in any space if you're an adult in surrounded by lots of kids/teens) but in general I think it's nice that liking anime isn't as uncool as it used to be when I was in school. I honestly would've loved to grow up in this age, or at least I would've had an easier time making real life friends.

But they're welcome to ask for recommendations that will get them addicted to anime so they'll avoid going out or going to work..

Yeah I read you, I don't hate newcomers and I think the hate they get it's going a bit too far, I hate it when newcomers act like why would I watch an old or non mainstream anime?, like most already mentioned here. I also hate the trend of youtube channels, or tik tok and Idk if Instagram too, of going full weeb, not only because the thing itself but also because it seems so fake.

As people have already said, I don't mind the idea of new fans but when people claim that the mainstream anime is the only thing that's good and there is nothing better - heck some people even claiming that classics are bad - that's what is annoying. But alas it all comes down to the one true saying.

No one hates weebs more than weebs.

Well I have only been in this hobby three years or so roughly so I guess I'm still a newbie in terms of anime experience, I welcome new anime fans more people consuming the media is good for the industry, what I don't like is fake anime fans and what I mean is the clout chasers and activists who actually hate the medium and just want to use it for political talking points.

I hate people that have rules in their head about watching Anime, ever time I see someone saying they can't watch it because it's old, not dubbed, chines, not shiny, not shonen, it literally kills me.

As someone that loves everything seeing people hating on something just because it's old is beyond sad. What about this old masterpices, will the fanbase just die out because newer fans are to dumb to even try them, and that's what's really sad.

I like some new anime fans better than actual weebs. They watch other media too and aren't so close-minded about everything that isn't anime.
They see anime as another type of media and not as the center of the universe.

I don't hate social media nor anime stuff, I hate "anime" stuff, like going full weeaboo. Chainsaw Man readers barking at cosplays, influencer girls doing "anime faces" and "moe stuff", people throwing random japanese words and nyas when writing or even talking, things like that, it's all cringy for me, and it all seems fake to me, stuff just done to grow a fanbase of, precisely, newcomers that only watch mainstream stuff. But I guess that's common among people that's new to the medium.

Yes, I really have to agree ... although I must say some of the "UwU / moe girls" just know how to make money. Some male weebs are so horny, they pay them on diverse websites with clicks or directly to act like that. If I'd lose my self-respect, I'd make dumb UwU faces with a high pitched voice for clicks too, but I just couldn't bring myself to even on gun point lol.

But yeah, I absolutely get you. That's why I'd pick most casual anime fans over real weebs any day.

Nah, I love noobs in general, for a variety of reasons. I also feel that people who have a lot of experience are just as likely to be idiots as anyone else. Maybe even more likely in some ways, to be honest.. I couldnt care less whether or not someone wants to watch older anime either.

Two of the things I enjoy most about talking with someone that is new to something I have a lot of experience with: The first is that their enthusiasm can rub off on me, and the second is that because they are looking at things with "fresh eyes," I can frequently learn to see things in a different way than I ever would have otherwise. And sometimes, they can even introduce something that is new to me because of their different Anime Origin Story (lol).

On a related note.. Im not sure I have done it with anime, but in areas where I have expertise I have discovered significant value in going back to the basics when teaching & training others.

Absolutely not! I had a hand in getting my little brother into anime and it's really great to watch with him and talk about shows we like together. By "new" do we just mean younger people into anime or people just recently getting into it?

Either way no, I don't. Of course I find some new anime fans annoying but in general ANY kind of anime fan can be annoying. We all started at some point.

Here's the deal with me, if you are:
- a hype drone systematically looking to shill even a rotten pumpkin as a pimp ride, financing the soulless cashgrabbers known as "influencers".
- a hardcore modernist... You know, the kind who unironically love what I consider to be the crap incarnate * cough * Re: Zero and think ecchi/harem and Isekai are peak anime.
- some activist trying to instill some race theory and feminist nonsense into the anime medium and its community.

I will neither accept you as a fan nor I will respect you. My bottomless hatred is mostly directed at hype culture because I am more than aware it can turn even gold into lead. Hype culture ruins franchises with potential, forcing them to whore out to please the largest audience possible... Hype culture also put mediocrities or morally bankrupt horrors in a pedestal, giving the community an awful rep.

So yeah, I can sometimes react passionately and curse the young generation, but I don't think it's a genuine generational hatred, when it comes to me. Because if I think you're a cool zoomer, I will still take your opinions and suggestions into account. On the other hand, I know I can never befriend anyone I listed above.

Look, I didn't exactly take screenshots of every instance someone wanted to be a social justice warrior over some trivial shit, especially since my goal was to avoid interacting with them. And Google searching my name with someone who wanted to get me involved is more effort that I'm willing to put in; between them showing up as "removed_user" and the likelihood of me remembering a high percentage of my posts by exact words being very low. So, you can either take my word for it given how active I am, or ask around by making a thread in CD if you want that history lesson.

Quote: Do you hate new anime fans? Quote: Some of them are cool, not many, it's a cultural thing, 90% of gen z are weirdos that need seek medical help, and only about 10% ish are normal, both feet on the ground.

Gen Y are about 65% weirdos, the rest are normal. With the normal ones from both gens, with those you can talk and hang around them, the others can fvck off.

And yes I usually hate the new fans they come off as hypocritical, obsessed control-freaks, contradictory, truth-suppressing. poisonous-lie-repeating creeps, censoring @ssholes.
