Is watching Ecchi something that needs to be ashamed of?

Womyn? wtf? Anyway, they do objectify women, and yes, it's through sexualization, at least in part. The Expendables objectifies men, media objectifies people all the time, doesn't mean it's automatically bad or sexist. I swear, the anti SJWs are even more sensitive than SJWs.

They think John Oliver's stand up comedy is funnier than all ecchi anime created combined in the current year.

For me, it's bad if you treat people as objects.

It still harms your thinking and may affect your mind. Watching deviant anime can make you a deviant person. I didn't say it is sure you become one but it's gets a higher chance to be so.

Ryuuzahar said:


So what? It doesn't makes you excuse from liking it. You even include GOD. You think GOD wants you to watch pornography? I'm not talking about a deviant god to avoid misunderstanding.

Nico- said:
God, I can't believe it's the CURRENT YEAR and people somehow HAVE THEIR OWN OPINIONS about how awesome ecchi is!

How can ecchi be awesome in the CURRENT YEAR when it's clearly overrecycled pandering degeneracy and yet there are people who have opinions that deviate from what I deem acceptable? GOD!!

If I keep reminding you that ECCHI IS OVERRECYCLED PANDERING DEGENERATE SHIT, I hope to derail the argument by making you seem primitive. This is a form of ad hoc fallacy but who cares because ECCHI IS OVERRECYCLED PANDERING DEGENERATE SHIT.

ANIME CHARACTERS ARE NOT REAL PEOPLE

GOD WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN THIS

Ronteque said:
You wouldn't want to let your parents/children see you watching Ecchi would you?

I mean, it isn't something you would sit down with your family and watch together.

So yes, it IS something to be ashamed of... I think.

Yet, it isn't something to be ashamed because that is like saying you can't watch Game of Thrones with your family?

Well, to be honest, I don't know the answer..

If you can enjoy other aspects as well, it's fine. If you watch ecchi for the sake of watching ecchi, problems begin (I don't talk about one show, but there are people watching anime for the sake of watching ecchi. That pathetic)

Lisbon said:

Finally, someone who understands

It's also pandering to sexist cis male pigs by exploiting womyn for sex appeal to make fast money, because god forbid anybody is actually sexist enough in the current year to want to make something like Ecchi. It's all a capitalist scheme used by the privileged pigs at the top of the anime industry to exploit womyn even further.

When will anime get back to the intellectual storytelling and deep characterizations it always had regardless before 2008? You see, I'm really, really, really smart - one time I had a report card with straight As in Elementary school, so I'm the real deal - and the only thing I care about is how smart something is and if other people don't care about intellectual storytelling then they're obviously watching things wrong.

Omni_slash95 said:
Why else watch anime? To fap to it all the time? Great!

No one is saying that every anime has to be intellectual and "deep" but a good solid story and engaging characters should be a requirement unless its your guilty pleasure

Lisbon said:

I sense a hint of jealousy here

Could it be that you're just bothered that you can't fap to what you like?

OH the white knight SJW is strong with this one

This and the "you secretly watch ecchi argument". Who comes up with this shit? Does anyone honestly believe that's true?

merryfistmas said:
@LobindeWhat do you think of Sakamoto desu ga? or similar shows? Do you feel the same way about them that you do about ecchi?

This and the "you secretly watch ecchi argument". Who comes up with this shit? Does anyone honestly believe that's true?

Omni_slash95 said:
Also I discuss it because thats what this thread is about. Deal with it @Ecchi lovers

Lisbon said:

I'm not saying that you shouldn't discuss it, go ahead and say whatever you want, s'all good m8

I'm just saying that you have to have some strong feelings to discuss it so furiously, so it comes across as something that either feels like that trope where the vehement homophobe is actually secretly gay in the end or like you're just trying to project some kind of image onto yourself as someone who is incredibly anti-Ecchi because you want your deep and intellectual stories instead of boobiez, cuz ur smrt lmao winky faic

Either way, it comes across as kind of fake to me because of how over-the-top you're being.

Especially when you've only watched a single anime that has the Ecchi tag, kind of makes your strong opinions against the entire genre seem even more artificially produced. Thanks, MALGraph!

Hey, at least this kind of makes me doubt that you like it in secret, so it's not all bad.

Lobinde said:


I haven't seen sakamoto desu ga but I would see it in a slightly different light to ecchi anime. Now there is a difference between being ashamed of liking something and showing it to everyone you know. Of course I would rather show an anime like Sakamoto desu ga to my parents than say, monster musume no iru nichijou (although I don't spoonfeed my interests down others' throats irl, and thus wouldn't show either of them to my family), but that doesn't mean I feel personal shame for finding monster musume to be really funny and entertaining.

Omni_slash95 said:


Off topic but is Sakamoto desu ga worth watching? Have been looking for a good comedy series (that isn't called Gintama, currently not in the mood for something that has soo many eps)

JkayW said:
Depends what type of face you're making whilst your masturbating to it.

Omni_slash95 said:


I already explained that a few pages ago. You don't have to watch a dozen ecchi anime to know they are generic & bad. I tried to watch Highschool DxD because its the most well received ecchi which is supposed to have a solid story & characters (it didn't).

For others I just watch the PV/trailers and read the premise & I already know where its going. No need to waste my time. Its not like this genre is very creative, they rehash the same old shit again & again.

I have strong feelings about it because they give anime a bad name and overall its just a useless genre. If a series has just ecchi going for it its shit, end of story.

You seem to think that just because I want a good story & characters the anime has to be all deep & intellectual, wtf? There is a middle ground you know but your standards obviously aren't very high.

Just cute girls (moe sucks too btw) and dumb & cringey "fun" isn't enough for me.

Lisbon said:

Ah. Now you seem to think I'm arguing with you for not liking the genre instead of just telling you that I think you're faking this whole thing in order to project a desired image onto yourself.

Whether or not you like it isn't really important tbh fam, more or less that it's pretty obvious that you're just acting like you feel so strongly about it to get attention. I'm just pointing out why I think there's a lot of merit in the thought that you're faking all of this so to try and dissuade anyone from taking you seriously, even in the off-chance that somebody is actually going to.

More or less trying to take apart your platform instead of changing your opinion tbh

zal said:

However how people that condemn porn openly then fap to it are hypocrite, those that say there's nothing wrong with ecchi and people shouldn't be ashamed of it are hypocrites if they actively hide it from all other people IRL.

Omni_slash95 said:


Wut? Now you are just being silly. Oh well, I was actually hoping for a discussion but I expected too much from an an ecchi obsessed neckbeard.

Lisbon said:

I've only had serious discussion for about 5% of the time I've spent talking to you tbh, a lot of it is just me saying that I think you're full of shit and then pointing out things like lack of experience with the genre and cartoonish vitriol as reason why I don't think you're actually serious either.

Even then, I hardly think just tossing around terms like neckbeard and constantly insulting people who do like Ecchi is indicitive of wanting to have an actual discussion. You didn't do much else until you explained what you don't like about the genre, which, again, is kind of silly since you've only seen one Ecchi. So, yet again, I think you're just trying to bullshit everyone and change the narrative into your favor by acting like you wanted to have an actual discussion about all of this instead of just sling vitriol around, and I feel a strong itch to just point as much out. They can probably figure it out themselves, but I like annoying you to be honest, you get so rage-y.

Also, I don't even have facial hair

Omni_slash95 said:
Seems like watching too many ecchi anime has made you delusional in real life too, lmao. Stick with your dumb & cringey fun.

Mamster-P said:


Unfortunately it's a FACT that many ppl only talk shit about ecchi because they're ashamed that they like it, however, they're not fooling me, so I just continue to feed them

"Being gay is evil, fas go to hell"... low key has gay sex

"Ecchi is ruining anime"... still watches ecchi anime, masturbates to it later

I can't believe anyone anymore who act as if something harmless is the worst thing ever is not secretly into it

zal said:
Hating on ecchi itself is a bit exaggerated and even worse if they actually watch and enjoy it. However most ecchi lacks subtlety and at times even lowers the enjoyment of a show which is the contrary of its purpose, at least for some people. I think comedy and ecchi is a good combination: Prison School's manga was hilarious and wouldn't be as epic without the ecchi. Other times is just terrible, one of the worst cases I remember is a manga from the author of Soul Eater "brigade of flames" where the girl "stumbles" several times and the mc gropes her or catches her in sex positions, smh.

Two things I dislike about ecchi fans is how they post their lewd stuff without spoilers, even if it is not NSFW have some consideration for the other users and put it under spoilers so we don't have to see it when browsing the forums or how people like you put a fukton of ecchi pictures/gifs on their profile and I have to load giga of ecchi stuff if I want to check your/their profile.

Some time ago there was this news about a priest that during the day condemned gay people and how they would go to hell and all that stuff while during the night would meet with random partners with an app for gay dating. One of his partners made it public after recognizing him. Oh, the hypocrisy and irony.

Mamster-P said:


one thing people don't seem to realize is its not the "shows" im defending, when i defend ecchi. i COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND getting bored of seeing the same recycled, tropes/humor w/e over and over again, its more the idea that "it takes away" or "its distracting/annoying" or "its for losers" that i have a problem with

i think ecchi can work anywhere, im not a "this only works in these situations" person, as i find that very boring and limiting. i absolutely love when ecchi is out of nowhere or mixed in somewhere you wouldn't expect, its called creativity. yes i liked the ecchi in prison school, too bad i didn't like any of the girls lol


gonna have to disagree with the 2nd part lol.... thats a bit too PC/SWJ for me, i mean its MAL and its to be expected. its not really my fault if ppl are butthurt by naked cartoon characters lol. however my profile lagging ppls computers i can agree is an issue, but the thing is its all about decoration for me more so than it is "showing off"


yes im convinced that applies to many of the ecchi haters. how many times do ppl have to say "i don't want people knowing im into that"?. i mean i know ppl irl who've said shit like "i'd never admit to someone offline that i like moe anime" its like bruh.... no one gives a shit, and the ppl who attempt to make fun of you for it are the ppl who already feel bad about themselves

no self confident person is going to go around making fun of others for being into harmless activities, whotf has time for that?


again, its not the "shows" i defend, its the placement off ecchi that i defend. i mean, sure, im not bothered by "generic" shows, but im not going to say its wrong to say "all these shows are essentially the same" i mean, if you can back that statement up with your list and prove you've actually watched them. but that argument applies to like every genre, the problem is they just like pic the one that everyone else is going after to feel included.

Lisbon said:

I'm kind of the same way - it's not the idea of disliking Ecchi that I'm against, I'm just against how outright ridiculous some people can be when they complain.

I will never understand how people can be so over-the-top and unreasonable about their hatred of something and still find themselves to be rational.

Mamster-P said:
i said it once and ill say it again..... if we didn't have this stupid demonizing mindset against sexualization of women in media, this ecchi hate wouldn't be a thing

Mamster-P said:


yes lol... people actually think its the fact that they don't like it that im against..... no... its the fact that 90% of the time someone wants to complain about anime, its something like ecchi/moe/loli... basically anything fanservicy thats mean to arouse...

just this site alone, how many ecchi threads have we had since the year started? probably around 40+ lol... wtf other subject can ppl not stfu about?

every anime video i go on

THE ECCHI RUINED IT

THERE'S TOO MANY BOOBS

STOP MAKING THESE KINDS OF ANIME

THIS IS ONLY FOR VIRGIN LOSERS

THIS SHOW IS GONNA BE SO BAD



you know.... if i didnt have to see this EVERYWHERE i go anime related for years..... maybe i wouldn't have gotten tired of it to the point where now i have to annoy the shit outta everyone everytime they mention it



i said it once and ill say it again..... if we didn't have this stupid demonizing mindset against sexualization of women in media, this ecchi hate wouldn't be a thing

That's like being ashamed of having a dick.

Fabio-s said:


How, exactly? Do you have the balls to reply with a decent argument or you just like to say random stuff?

Lisbon said:

Because sexuality is a part of human nature. People generally like to fuck things, or think about fucking things, or things that build up a desire to fuck things, etc.

If you're going to act like you're totally averted to sexual situations then you may as well be ashamed of having a dick, since that's pretty much mostly a tool for the wonderful act of coitus and other things of the sexual variety. And peeing, of course.

Maverick-sama said:
I don't believe ecchi content is being catered too either. There are only a few shows that are being released seasonally it's not like you are getting 10-15 shows every season, lucky to get 2-3 really ecchi shows now. If it was being heavily favored every show would be filled with it.
