MelodyOfMemory's post is pretty much most of the same grievances I have with anime discussion, but gupipy's statement about sexism in the community honestly hits me really close to home as there is general bigotry problems in the community and I have faced it myself both for being a woman and for being trans. Like I have actively gotten death threats from people for that and its insane. It feels like incel culture is just way too normalized in anime and gaming communities and it leads to shit like this.

Then you do hold the opinion that a "good story" shouldn't have heavy sexual themes
| @Captain-577 I never said that (this thing that you did is another thing that could be mentioned in this forum btw, putting words in people's mouth). We were talking about ecchi/fan service, not about shows that depict in an interesting way heavy sexual themes. I don't want someone's tits hanging out every 5 seconds or the MC groping women, that is annoying (even some shows I really like, such as Mushoku Tensei, have this problem and it annoys me, I still like the show). Fruits Basket is a show that tackles sexual themes and traumas in an amazing way and it integrates it deeply into its story. Wonder Egg Priority is another example of this. |

| I feel like everyone should be allowed to enjoy what they want to watch, unless it's obviously criminal/illegal to watch it. What's super annoying is if someone comes and makes you feel bad or tries to guilt-trip you for watching a particular series/genre. I've seen it so many times it makes me just want to crawl into a hole. |

Remembered some more: "They should have just made hentai instead" "Why do you watch ecchi if you can just watch hentai?" "The manga is better" "Trainwreck of the season" "She is such a -dere!" "Fuck this cuckshit" "*Insert MC's name who doesn't have generic nice and kind personality* is so unlikable, I can't stand her/him!" |

| When they don’t discuss the anime, and instead, go straight to ad-hominems and name-calling lol When certain people pretend like they got you all figured out and know you personally, and then proceed to prove otherwise when they jump to wild and way off the mark conclusions. |
DarkFirefly72 said: What is the most annoying thing someone can do when discussing anime? While not inherently annoying, it gets really old when trolls and ‘shitposters’ join any online discussion, just to stroke their egos. They disrupt the conversation with no meaningful input because they’re clearly just craving attention. It's my opinion, most of them are just lonely, mediocre third-rate keyboard warriors, stuck living with their parents and effectively labeling them as basement dwellers, completely bored out of their minds. They’ve probably just finished some compulsive habit, like their daily gooning ritual, and are too mentally drained to contribute anything valuable to any conversation. So they end up spamming pointless brain farts on discussion boards, likely because their brains are too fried from constant, perpetual masturbation. Too drained to keep jerking off, they probably see this as another kind of high. lol One of the ironies is that these trolls and ‘shitposters’ wouldn’t have the balls to act like this in a real-life discussion forum. They’d probably get humiliated, throw out of the place, and metaphorically eviscerated. lol |

| The dumbest thing I see in anime discussions is those who demonize the source material saying they loved the censorship. 2nd is easily "if you like fanservice go watch porn." |

My main grievances/pet peeves:
- Gotta second all the "the woke west is killing anime" culture war winging and throwing around "tourist" crap. Especially paired with armchair translating and speaking for the whole of Japan without really knowing anything about it. Never leads to a productive conversation.
- (Generally Unprompted) Bashing of things/genres. Especially if they never seen it and just parroting "It's mid/Trash/Overrated". Isekai sucks? Okay. Now say something new.
- Episode forum specific: the people that keep coming back to say how Ass a show is over and over. We're like 8 episodes in, why are you still here??? Drop it and watch something you like.
| @BubblegumPatty First one definitely. Non-Japanese people trying to pass themselves off as if they're some experts on the country because they've done nothing besides consume (often with limited understanding) one facet of a country's culture is, ironically, the most tourist thing ever. 😂 |
| It's hard for me to comment that, because I hold a high-bar for things to even be considered "the anime community" to begin with, and most things I would complain would be below that bar. (See Is "being an otaku" more about the mentality, watching a lot of anime rather coming as a consequence of that?) By that logic, you could say that what annoys me the most would be "tourism", not knowing one's place: "Contrary to other mecha anime, this one is actually about the characters. Also, why couldn't this anime be set in college instead? This is lowkey problematic, I speak with the experience of having watched Solo Leveling and dubbed Boruto". >InB4 "Am I above that bar?" If you're using MAL forums, you're likely above that bar, yes. |
| I see follow MAL users brawling over normal topics as always Annoying things huh? Well what about random and sudden lust? Casual Anime talks online are chill, yet the chill can die so damn fast when one person expresses their unhinged love and desire for a specific character. I am cool with favoring certain characters in Anime, but going on about their massive chest or hourglass body just instantly tells you this person has different "priorities" |
Casual Manga/Manhwa/Manhua Reader |
| When they escape the anime talking about things and these are not even jokes. But that is never talking about the anime. Talking about the anime would be when they sound mad enough at the contents, or missed a reference to their point and we have to search for it. I am way happier when the talk becomes something that both sides exchange information than when they are stoning themselves. And we can just notice where both interpretations are different, and we can find out where and why. |

There are times people miss the point but not as much as some people claim, funnily I've seen people who claim this stuff missing the point as well
If you disagree with someone don't just claim they are stupid, show your claim and use the story to help solidify them, if you do it nicely if the person really missed the point they might be interested in hearing your interpretation at the very least, if they just hold a different opinion it can make an interesting conversation instead of insults

BilboBaggins365 said: What someone actually did that lol? It's Gundam, I would be disappointed if the MC didn't brutally murder someone. Yeah, I saw it a few times in episode discussions here and a lot on social media. I think GQX breeched into the general non-mecha watching population, being a Studio Khara (Hideaki Anno) project, so the audience was much larger than the typical Gundam watching crowd. If you look through the thread for Episode 4 you can see some of these kinds of reactions along with people calling it boring or not understanding the plot (which I saw across threads for every episode). Granted, GQX is fast compared to a typical Gundam, but that's Hideaki Anno and the 12 episode standard these days. |
