Do "pure ecchi fans" even exist? And for those who do, why?

Why do zoomers and normies think that the second you see an anime titty you have to drop your pants and start jacking off? It's not like that. You see something nice, your brain registers happiness, and then you continue on watching, it's that simple.

I just simply do not get the concept of liking an anime purely for the story in it. I mean, most story is just implemented as secondary along some other primary factors (art style, music, voice acting, and film direction), or is just a whole lot of lip flapping in what is supposed to be a visual medium. But liking a story that has all those other factors is way different than just liking a story, according to me. Like, people enjoy the story in One Piece, for example, but it's not like they treat it as if that is all there is to it. But why would you like seeing an ANIME of just storytelling without anything interesting to look at? I mean, the point I'm tryna make is that why don't these story fans just straight up read a book? Does their education system not allow them to any more or something? Why do they like to convolute what they are requesting like that lol? Jokes aside, do (if yes, why) people even like JUST stories, ignoring all other elements paired with it in any anime?

Cuz ppl are horny. And horniness is hard to resist when you're a frail male with too much free time I guess.

@SimplyBrazen finally a decent reply. but that again doesn't answer my question about not watching hentai tho.

lmao wdyem "normies"? seeing that you're using that as a derogatory term, you think liking ecchi is more "normal" than liking anime with actual plot?

@AMBITZZ Yeah you should've known you would get shit for this when you made the thread. Fans of niche genres tend to get quite defensive lol.

Ecchi and fanservice are one and the same. Ecchi genre just has more of it than non labeled ecchi series. Both men and women like beauty. Women prefer tall pretty boys and men like cute girls. Ecchi does not hit well to everyone though just like how most men despise BL.

Enjoying an anime for the cute attractive girls is very normal.

I like 5 things

Violent female characters
Martial arts outfits
Martial arts rings / cages
Nudity
Sexual behavior

I get a boner when girls hit other girls. (not hitting guys)

And get a boner from martial arts outfits and settings.

Why do sports anime fans not just watch sports?
Why do battle shounen fans not just watch UFC?
Why do slice of life anime fans not just live real life?
Why don't comedy anime fans just watch standup comedy?

If you think the questions above are stupid then you should know that your question just as—if not more—stupid.

CGDCT has sexy stuff in it. Every genre has sexy stuff.

I'm not much of an ecchi fan but still:
ecchi usually involves comedy built around the nakedness, and when it's done right it's really entertaining
sometimes I'm just in the mood for that type of comedy

weird kink but ok. exactly so you enjoy some sort of "action" and not just the last 2

@velvetnyan ye dawg you're not cool at all. you're failing at giving back a structured reply lol. I was talking about genres, not about things without which an anime cannot exist at all. they do lil bro just say you have a pea-sized brain. first, there were NO jokes in your reply. Second, and again, what you listed were factors which make up an anime, while what I was referring to were different genres of anime.

Hence, response rejected.

idk bro, i don't think i'll ever see ronaldo with spiraling eyes, aura and puzzle pieces around him, playing football. neither will i be able to hear his internal monologue. idk bro, homo sapiens tend not to have supernatural powers. simply can't achieve that level of happiness irl. 🤓☝

@AMBITZZ This is a completely disingenuous take of my response, but I am sure you know that.

@AMBITZZ
Do you seriously not see that you answered the main question you asked in the OP.
The reason why people watch ecchi is because there is sometimes more eroticism in it than you can get from watching straight up porn.

@Thanatos1 bro what're you even on i didn't even mention porn

Of course they do. Why? Because that's why they like, simple as that.

As for "why don't these ecchi fans just straight up watch hentai?" tells me that your probably haven't watched any any where ecchi is the main focus. It's kind of hard to explain if you haven't seen shows like this. Check out some shows like DxD, MonMusu, or HSOTD. These are shows you watch just because they're fun, hentai is something you watch with a different purpose in mind.

@velvetnyan sure, if that's your coping mechanism

@AMBITZZ sigh
ok lets go through ti

- the second one is a quote from your original post. Can you explain what you meant by this? I believed primary plot referred to the story, which is why I of course referenced other things that were not the story, such as art style and music but fit within the same concept of designing an anime in most cases.

- what did you mean by this one as well? Are you saying that nobody in one piece likes anything except the story itself? They don't like the character designs? They don't like the music? They don't like the character personalities? They don't like the art? Just the story? That is why I got from what you are saying which of course makes no sense but I need to make sure I didn't misunderstand.

- It would be impressive if anyone did.

- If there were no jokes in my reply then there were no jokes in your original post. Second, you also listed factors that make up an anime, and never once said anything at all about genres. It is YOUR mistake to think that ecchi is a genre and there is a reason it is not classified as one on MAL.

I do think it is obvious you hold some sort of bias that doesn't allow you to understand what I am saying, I don't know if you hold it dear within your heart, but if you don't then I think you should reconsider that bias. If it is central to your core identity I am aware there isn't much point though.

It's not a genre. That's an American bastardization of it.

Ecchi is any sexual behavior, and it's found in any genre.

doesn't matter; it is stated on MAL as one, and you're using the same platform

@AMBITZZ
outside of a few tiny outliers with 2 minute episodes like the dogeza show, ecchi shows do have actual plot you absolute fucking retard.

@AMBITZZ I don't give a fuck what MAL states. I care how Japan uses it, and it's my mission to educate people.

A platform is my stepping stone and soapbox.
