Whether it be controversial, episode length, emotionally taxing, etc. 
What is your reasoning for not watching the anime?

Also, would you ever watch it in the future?

Maybe any yaoi/BL series, I don’t think I’ll ever watch any of them, just not interested in it.

Same is the case for me. Additionally I don't really like to watch h series especially with sus plot. It just ruins the enjoyment of normal sol rom-com for me .

a lot of them.

The longest I can remember were FLCL and Haruhi, I refuse to watch them for 12 years already.

I do not watch yaoi or traps and such.

generally is it more of what will make me watch anime rather than what makes me refuse to watch.

Any of the ludicrously long shounen titles that are hundreds of episodes in length like One Piece, Detective Conan, or Naruto Shippuden. Unlike my younger days, I just don't have the time and patience to get that invested into titles that ridiculously long.

Any shows that are really long, like One Piece, or any BL shows.
Other than those, although I wouldn't refuse, I would rather not watch any really specific themes that I'm not interested in, like racing or space.

What is your reasoning for not watching the anime?

I'll go with Sailor Moon (1992). My reasons for not watching it are the number of episodes it has. The series has 200 episodes! Which isn't bad, per se, probably a lot better to sit through than a 2,000+ episode anime. The pacing's another issue I have with the series. It feels slow, in my opinion. Very slow. While the source material was bullet train fast, pace wise, I found it tolerable. Filler is another problem, it's not the amount of filler episodes I take issue with, by the way. My issue with the filler lies with how they used it for the monster-of-the-week format. After a while, the monster-of-the-week gets stale.

Maybe, I would watch it again in the near future. I would watch the reboot anime, the live-action series, and stage musical as well.

One Piece is the only show that has 1000+ episodes which I won't be able to finish at some point in the future, so that's a no-go. I also don't watch hentai anime as well.

Any anime with abnormally high number of episodes (because I don't feel like watching such shows with length of a tapeworm, no matter how good they are). I also refuse to watch 99% of hentai (not my cup of tea).

- I am fine with drama, but melodrama and tearjerkers are poison for me.
- Shows which require from me to be hyped, but are otherwise devoid of interesting ideas, thus most of the battle shounen.
- The combination of a title which gives me bad vibes and really pushy fandom, for example Chainsaw Man and Oshi No Ko.
- Sport anime - not because I hate sports, but because those shows are usually unnecessary melodramatic. Also see "shows which require from me to be hyped.".
- Shows which are way waaay outside of my interests...but that goes without saying. I am pretty tolerant to many genres and themes, but for example shows like Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu or Uma Mususme are not mu cup of tea.

I 150% refuse to watch any BL/Yaoi or any indication to it. It's already been filtered off from my end.

As for a single Anime, "Diabolik Lovers" for the fact that the main girl keeps getting abused every episode. I hated that. It's one thing to see girls getting hurt in shows like Shonen, action and other genres but Diabolik Lovers make it quite perverted or even suggestion of the R word. Not only did I dropped, I entirely deleted it from the List and this is coming from the guy who doesn't mind about 95% of controversial stuff.

You have to understand this is a matter of sexual preference too. Most men are into women, so they watch GL stuff, and vice versa.
In the case you're gay, nobody cares. Be gay, it's your own thing. But don't accuse people who don't watch stuff that doesn't match their sexual preferences.

BL/Yaoi Tag I generally avoid. Simply not my fetish. Seen few, but not interested overall.

There are few other genres as well I'm not particularly interested nor watch but they are likely to be watched eventually... as they have some really good Anime (Idol Anime, Sports genre, Space, Sci-Fi, Mechas, Historical)

I have watched all the long shounen series like One Piece, Dragon Ball, Naruto, and Bleach. However, I have not seen Pokémon and Detective Conan, and I definitely won't watch them. I believe they would be a waste of time since I doubt I would enjoy them. Even though I have time to watch them, I choose not to. Apart from that, I will also avoid animes that I believe are mediocre, like Darling in the Franxx.

"You can't say One Piece is too long and the artstyle is ugly!"
I can and I'm not gonna to watch it.
Same goes for Bleach, Naruto and any other shounen above 300+ episodes.
Most sport anime are too long as well, while they don't catch my interest.

Others: I looked into several modern isekais and meeh...
Also lot of romcoms, new (and some older) romances and sols etc. don't catch my interest.
I don't refuse to watch them really and I just give it a second and third thought to evaluate, if they are worth my time. Most are not and I still don't know why I completed stuff like The Angel Next Door.

The good thing about Conan tho, you can pick random episodes and watch them. I've done this here and there, but also lost my interest doing that.
