@NateMKII I'm pretty sure people who watches ecchi watches hentai and the real thing... I don't even watch an ecchi to fap, I watch it to be entertained... just like any anime I watch. There are some pretty good stories with an ecchi tag(even those with "borderline porn"). But, I'm pretty sure your closed mind would not register that. |

"It can be a bad place y'know, but I rather be here than not be here, since people will understand what I'm saying only if on a anime community" Kinda like, when people get stranded "Heeey, This sucks, but at least I'm not alone" (Except being on a community revolving anime is a choice, different from being stranded) Carrot or stick is like, either comply with something taking the good side of it or the bad side of it (reward or punishment). Reward being the kinda rotten carrot of human interaction and the stick is uh... being alone I guess? |

Extending on OP's second point, I think having tunnel vision in terms of defending one's own opinion and not respecting others' can be annoying, anime-related or not. I know it's not easy for people to consciously keep an open mind, but completely trashing on someone else's opinion on an anime/manga and arguing senselessly seems like so much effort just to get their point across. That effort could be directed elsewhere and more productively. Just say your piece, respect and understand others, and move on. |

The flamewars the community gets into are fucking obnoxious. Honestly, who gives a shit if someone likes SAO or didn't get Serial Experiments Lain? Even if I don't agree with them, I'll respect them for who they are. (Unless they go too far with their obsessions, but that's on their behavior/personality and not the shows themselves) I see a lot of petty complaints as well. (I could call out that one guy who dedicated a whole fucking thread to why he hates Overlord's OP (Seriously where the fuck's any interesting discussion in that? (The most I can go is listing off anime openings you dislike, but listing threads are banned; or flamewars over how good 1 fucking song is, but you know my stance on flamewars)), but for the sake of not being seen as a douchebag I won't do so) |

I hate myself for wanting to take breaks in between reading chapters by coming out here on the forums to see and realize what kind of people are my fellow anime/manga fans. Every single time I come here I leave in complete disappointment, but sadly enough, this is the site I am used to and not many other sites really suit me and my completely self-destructive nature. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |

JkayW said: Seriously. Thank you for this. I don't think it could've been explained any better.Inb4: I hate when people talk about what they hate. Hi gals and guys from MAL. I started watching anime in March of 2015 and I saw the anime community on the outside as a bunch of twelve year olds fighting over cartoons, I didn't really think much of anime back then though. So 11 months now. I just want to list four things I hate about the community. You don't have to read this, you can just post. Although I'd like if you read my post. Hopefully it doesn't go to the length of a blog. I'm not saying there can't be good anime fans by the way. I've met tons of great people IRL and in MAL that AREN'T LIKE THIS. I personally think the anime community is one of the cancerous fanbases on the planet for four reasons. 1. Selective morals "Don't judge me for liking anime" "Anyone who doesn't like anime is an idiot" shut up. Please. If you don't want people to judge you for the things you like then don't judge them, someone may like Justin Beiber and think you are weird for liking anime or vice-versa, but you need to realize that you are passing judgement on people when you do that and being hypocritical. I hate seeing it and it happens far too often, especially in the anime community. 2. OH MY GOD YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS ITS LIKE THE GREATEST THING EVER!!! When fanboys go and overhype the show they love so much what they don't know is they are actually a cancer to their own series. They are giving pre expectations about a show we may or may not like it and making it so we may not enjoy an anime to its fullest extent. 3. Dub haters. These are the anime purists who feel the anime is at its most pure when it is only watched in the subbed version. Some of these dub haters believe that Japanese is the most beautiful language in the world and will bash an anime if it is in a different language, even if it is the language they speak. Stop stereotyping and actually try it out. I don't care for preference but it starts getting bad when you say the following reasons. -English dubs have a small cast of voice actors -English ruins the "feel" of the show -English is a horribly ugly language compared to Japanese. -English dubs censor and butcher jokes from the Japanese versions -English dubs are for weeaboo's who know nothing about anime and Japan. -Characters have no emotions when they talk -ALL English dubs "just suck" 4. Using the word weeaboo as slang for anime fan. I think of this as when black people use the word nigga as a form of communication when it is used as a form of insult which is just fucking retarded. It's insulting to black people because it can signify that you are undeserving of a birth-given name, simply because your skin is dark. Weeaboos are people that try and be Japanese and dismiss their own culture calling themselves Japanese, not anime fans. Stop using this shit as slang for anime fans or else you just destroy the definition. Like that time when Oxford changed the definition of "literally" to now be used sarcastically. If anything use Otaku if you're BY DEFINITION "people with obsessive interests, commonly the anime and manga fandom." Overall most of them think they're opinion is fact and have bad communication skills whilst constantly chucking swears and insults. Let me know your thoughts! |

People who behave as if everyone on here is a weabo except themselves. The only people that use terms like weabo are anime watchers/ manga readers, who are subconsciously ashamed of being a nerd or something, so they try to pretend to themselves that they aren't a nerd by spending there time on MAL on search & destroy missions of any threads or persons they consider to be weabo, which is in essense any thread or person on here that has an element of joy or happyness or fun in it. Doing that somehow makes them feel that if they hate on weabos, then by definition they cannot themselves be a weabo - I would strongly disagree, I think these people are in fact the biggest weabos - they are the 'self-hating nerd' that hate on the use of words like kawai, but practically have a keyboard orgasm any time an acceptable (pseudo academic) Japanese word or phrase like cour or seiyū is mentioned. |

Like any community there's a variety of people in them. Some are cool, some are idiots. Unfortunately the negatives tend to speak louder than the positives, even if the positives outscore the negatives by a significant amount, that's why people are so quick to label a community "cancerous". Following that logic there is not a single community that isn't cancerous. |

Ecchi is sexier than hentai. Teasing is sexier than full-frontal nudity. Also, ecchi often has better character design with more focus on it. |

What I hate is how people rush to put out reviews of ongoing anime without them actually being over yet. Like honestly, HOW the hell can people constantly post reviews of Erased (or OPM a couple of months ago) without having seen the entire show? How do you know it's a 10/10 without having seen the ending? How do you know it's a 1/10 without having seen how the plot unfolds? This annoys me to no end. People just watch 3-4 episodes then post their verdict as if it's credible. Guys, hold your goddamn horses. Watch the entire thing THEN you can review it. Phew, sorry I had to vent. |

NateMKII said: How people only watch harem shows. Its disgusting You're being naive. These days, pretty much anything can be a harem. And a lot of the time, it is. So you can watch an action show for the action and the heroism, but it would be full of girls. (and I totally like it like that) Also, people around these forums have already explained why they like harems more than (or in addition to) hentai or real actor porn. Many times. Go read them, there should be a tread not that long ago. |

I don't know if this is bait but.... It's still 'associated' with a term used to bring down an entire race for a long period in history where blacks were treated like property, beaten, raped and worked against our own will. Trying to make light of it doesn't make it better. It's funny how people use it so lightly and casually. |

I hate when people say all anime with fan service (nudity or suggestive themes in my opinion) are terrible. Because no, not all fan service anime aren't. Some great series mix just a little bit in like a spice; others base it around the fan service for kicks which I personally enjoy; and then there are the series that take it a LITTLE too far like series centered around lolis or brother/sister incest (which I really am not a fan of). At the end of it all I just don't like the arrogance to say an entire genre is terrible because there are some bad examples. |

Absolutely agreed with everything. Especially number 5. I'm pretty sure there are some decent people here, but often they're overshadowed by the cancerous morons. Don't forget those who rant about how the original source is always better and complain when they didn't adapt 100% of it into anime. |

Nothing wrong with giving a review/opinion but at least wait until its finished or until a lot of episodes are out if its a long running anime like One Piece for example. I kinda think some people do it on purpose just to get a lot of likes on their review early so its one of the top ones that people read over and over. On the other hand what I like about the community is that you can have some good conversations with people about anime without it just turning into a hate fest or a crazy fandom. Having a good/fun discussion is what I normally like about most communities, only difference between here and other places is the subject. |

As much as the anime community can be full of wonderful weirdos like myself, I also find myself really annoyed and shocked at how vicious, opinionated and arrogant a lot of fans are!! Needless to say, I've facepalmed quite a few times. Top of the list of things I hate within the community- *English dub haters- those people who automatically write all dubs off as trash before even watching them simply because they're not in the native language and therefore will never be as good; as if they're watching a lesser version of an anime if they watch it dubbed. True, there are bad dubs, but there are amazing ones as well- just look at Baccano, Durarara, Black Butler, Hetalia, Hellsing (and so on)! It's annoying when there are a lot of talented English VA's, yet a lot of fans badmouth their work :/ *The wars- Oh. My. God. This. I cannot handle it when people get into figurative (and sometimes even literal) wars over who is best girl, best guy, best couple etc. Look, I get it. You adore a certain character and you think they should get with that other character because they're obviously meant to be! OTPs are great...but that's all they are until there's some sort of canon announcement or something. Just because someone doesn't like your OTP or Waifu or whatever, no need to go Trojan on their ass. It's nice to be enthusiastic, but being overly so really can deter people from a series or even from the anime community as a whole- and that's never a good thing. There's other stuff but I'm too tired to write any more and they'll prolly be mentioned somewhere in the thread anyways. The stuff I like about the community includes- Meeting and communicating with like minded individuals, fan enthusiasm, the talent and creativity of a lot of people- demonstrated through doujinshi, fanart, fanfics etc. |

So, you have been watching anime for less than a year and know all that? I applaud you for that. Speaking of dubs, I barely watched that much of them, but it is as you said, for me, they don't convey the feeling of the anime, thus ruining it. But I am fine with others watching them. |

On the other hand what I like about the community is that you can have some good conversations with people about anime without it just turning into a hate fest or a crazy fandom. Having a good/fun discussion is what I normally like about most communities, only difference between here and other places is the subject. I second this. You pretty much said what I wanted to say but was unable to. |

I love OP's tone. Thank you for this topic, it made me lol and sad at the same time. Do people who watch anime really judge those who don't? That just seems so... silly. That's exactly the same as people who judge those who DO watch anime, which makes it a very childish and futile attempt at "getting back" at them. |

1. Happens on every community (especially on gaming community)... And anime is not a exception on this one. 2. THINK a anime world without any hype, it would be hard to find any semi-good anime anymore. But reason this can be annoying is cause people get influenced too easily (that is something I hate). People needs to understand they got they're own anime taste and everything what others like don't actually apply on them. 3. I have watched about 10-13 years anime already and only few dub's been good. Usually they sound really flat. Of course there is few exceptions in this one (like Cowboy Bebop), but why even bother to try English dub (or my native) when originals are usually really good? (well there is exceptions too like Origin: Spirit of the Past - Agito). But there is quite lot of subtitle haters also so it's not only dub haters. Everyone should watch anime as they want dubbed or subbed. 4. Never heard and not even interested on this. 5. Well this is true... Could not agree more on this one. 6. I don't have seen this happening at all anywhere. 7. Well quite lot of anime and ova are made for manga readers (like Air Gear ova). But yeah some anime's got that problem they doesn't tell things enough well like in manga. |

JkayW said: 1. Selective morals "Don't judge me for liking anime" "Anyone who doesn't like anime is an idiot" shut up. 6. Judging people who don't like anime. They act as if not liking anime is a personal offence to them. Like, if someone says "Ehh, I don't really like it that much" then they would tell them they don't understand, they're ignorant, they're being mean to them blah blah. Well, those two points are basically the same or, at least, fall into the same category. I must say that I didn't witness this kind of behavior (maybe I don't know enough people who are anime fans), but you can't stop people from judging others; just by the way I'm replying to you, right now, some people will judge and label me. JkayW said: 2. OH MY GOD YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS ITS LIKE THE GREATEST THING EVER!!! When fanboys go and overhype the show they love so much what they don't know is they are actually a cancer to their own series. This is present everywhere, be it about movies, sports, food, etc. People like to talk about what they enjoy and sometimes, they simply don’t realize that the other party is simply not interested for X reason. A good amount of individuals also desire other people approvals and will want to confirm that what they like is actually good. They may try to persuade some persons they respect or simply deem that their opinion has more value than others (good examples are friends, parents, well known people, etc.) to watch a certain anime, for instance. But, it’s true that some people just want to propagate their "perfect" anime series, since they are blessed with a superior intelligence and a divine taste (I’m being sarcastic here, don’t take that seriously) and then it becomes cancerous to others, creates flame wars with all guns blazing and baits everywhere (the only positive point I can find is that it keeps the forums active…? I guess). JkayW said: 3. Dub haters. These are the anime purists who feel the anime is at its most pure when it is only watched in the subbed version. Ha, this I can definitely relate; I’ve seen this phenomenon of hatred in about every comments sections from mostly dubs, but also subs versions, of about every single anime series I’ve watched! I find it pretty funny, since a good amount of people are completely adamant to their opinion and state it as a fact. I honestly think the war between subs and dubs will never stop, since it’s also an easy bait to trigger much talking and aggressive replies, which some people like a lot. JkayW said: 4. Using the word weeaboo as slang for anime fan. Stop using this shit as slang for anime fans or else you just destroy the definition. I must admit that I think the use of this word and the many misunderstandings concerning it are due to mostly 3 major reasons; the first one would be simply to act as a provocation or even as an insult, since it is generally accepted that it is a pejorative word, at least for those who are pretty casual anime watchers and do not fall in the actual definition of the word. The second one is ignorance; people that do not actually know what the word means and just read it somewhere, then decided to figure out the meaning by themselves, judging by the context of the sentence in which they read the word in. The last one, it’s mostly just plain old generalization based on stereotypes and this kind of stuff; you like anime, you’re a weeaboo, you like gaming, you’re a nerd and probably a "nolife" too (I’m obviously exaggerating here, but I’m pretty sure you get the point), etc. This will also probably never change/stop. JkayW said: 5. Good and bad taste in anime. Trying to apply objectivity in subjectivity. Just... What? Is this a joke? Stop applying objectivity to this. Taste means a person's liking for particular flavours. So when saying anime TASTE it just means preferences and things you like. Well, since pure objectiveness from a human doesn’t exist (there’s always a certain bias, no matter what), it’s obvious, that every review/critic you may read will have traces of subjectivity in it, even when it comes from people who try to stay objective as much as possible. Then, you bring the subject of good/bad taste, which, I guess you must be talking about people who judge others and declare that their taste is bad/less meaningful, than their own or stuff like that. Well, I’d say that I’m interested in knowing how they actually are able to measure someone’s taste and compare it to their own. JkayW said: 7. The source doesn't "fix" the problems with the anime. Complaining when people have problems with the anime, don't like the adaptation of your favourite ____, calling them cancerous and telling them to read the source. This isn't the source material, this is the anime. You’re right! They’re 2 different things, but it won’t change anything to say that, since, a good amount of persons that show the kind of behavior you were describing, are persons that really like the LNs. For instance, if they find that the anime series that was made based on them does not do justice to their favorite LN, they may become infuriated and, since they may also want people to appreciate their favorite LN to its "real" value, may become annoying by singing its praises a little bit too much! Well, that was a pretty long post and if you read it in its entirety, I must congratulate you for doing so, since you're probably the only one that did! Otherwise, it still helped me practice my English skills a bit more, so it's not wasted! |

Dub haters. There are some incredibly talented dub voice actors out there and I hate that they get immediately written off by some people for the heinous crime of speaking English. CapitalistGod said: @NateMKII I'm pretty sure people who watches ecchi watches hentai and the real thing... I don't even watch an ecchi to fap, I watch it to be entertained... just like any anime I watch. There are some pretty good stories with an ecchi tag(even those with "borderline porn"). But, I'm pretty sure your closed mind would not register that. Doesn't being pressed up against your zipper for 20 minutes at a time ever get uncomfortable? |

It's still 'associated' with a term used to bring down an entire race for a long period in history where blacks were treated like property, beaten, raped and worked against our own will. Trying to make light of it doesn't make it better. It's funny how people use it so lightly and casually. Yes, it's not as much about what you say as the intention behind why you say it If a white person uses nigga/er in context, idgaf... if you call me a nigger w I'll intention, and its not 100% obv its a joke, we finna box Anyway, I also hate ppl who hate on genres like you not liking a popular genre means it shouldn't be popular, anyone is free to like or fap to whatever they want There are a magnitude of ways to say hello to a friend, why make nigga one of them. Kinda of dumb. |
