| That's the kind of vibe I get on Mal. Whenever anyone says anything critical about anime people on here are always like it's not for you and it's only for the Japanese so you can't criticize. On Mal it seems it's okay to criticize western entertainment even if you are not from America or Europe but it's not okay to criticize anime if you are not Japanese. |

| That seems to be rare around these parts, at least for me. It's a stupid notion and anyone who has it should feel stupid for having it, and I say that sincerely. |

| your going to get criticized no mater what you say about anything its a fact of life so YES people are going to Criticize you criticizing anime |

kuuderes_shadow said: It is. People like the op and others on Mal think that not liking something or complaining about something in anime means that westerners want to change anime. On Mal it's common for people to be like you are not Japanese so you can't complain about anime because it's not your culture.DrGeroCreation said: This is a good example https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1418510&show=0 Whenever anime is criticized for anything there are people who are like you can't criticize anime because it 's for the Japanese and not you. ...That's not what the OP is actually saying, though.

| For something that "always" happens, I now feel weird because I haven't seen it o_O And your example doesn't help either because it's nothing like what you are saying |
 |
| You guys on Mal like to play ignorant as usual. |

Darek said: Yeah it's a silly line of reasoning and a defense to any kind of criticism of anime.DrGeroCreation said: This is a good example https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1418510&show=0 Whenever anime is criticized for anything there are people who are like you can't criticize anime because it 's for the Japanese and not you. well that was retarded...I see what you mean, it is as I thought, yeah I gotta agree it is a stupid point of view, I don't even know how is that type of logic supposed to work. I suppose it is just people getting too defensive about others opinions being different and trying to dodge it. |

That's you reading into their words something that isn't there. Quite impressive given that there's only 18 words there and it's such a straightforward post. Mkim said: Cause asians are better than you westerners they cosplay better have less body hair and are prettiest better than you ugly westerners Im proud to be asian and proud to have superior asian anime lol. I haven't seen that guy in a while, actually. Is that just because his posts keep getting deleted before I see them? |

| It can, everything can be criticized however sometimes those criticisms might be wrong because of ignorance. I found it strange that Ikoma in Kabaneri cut his hair with only one arm and a knife but someone said that cutting your hair represents determination. It was interesting and gave more insight on the action but it is still dumb on how it was executed. If it can't be criticized because it was only meant for asian people then we westerner shouldn't enjoy anime because it was meant for asian people. |

| feminist site criticizing moe ecchi isnt the kind of shit we should give attention to :V and besides.. being negative critic over chinese cartoons is not good for health all we are here because we like anime which might imply less time spent on western entertainment.. and from there its not hard to find justifications |

romagia said: feminist site criticizing moe ecchi isnt the kind of shit we should give attention to :V Nah, they're just screwed to the fact that... Moe/ecchi is bad, whereas manservice is the one that should exist... |
| I think most people see it as American standards shouldn't be pushed on to something that's technically not for Americans. Anime feminism? Fuck that shit. Keep the identity politics out of it. There's something for everyone, but because those types need control, it's not enough. EVERYTHING needs to cater to them. |

| I see people critisize anime all the time, there is only a small percentage of people that actually think that. The ones saying it usually just say it in defense of their shit taste. |
| Everyone's a critic about any type of media, no matter where it's made am I right? |

| No, it's because you criticize anime then praise western shit like it's flawless and doesnt' have any fan service, power wank etc... |
 |
| If that criticism is like the one we get on RT then no thank you. I mean dont you see that recently most of the acclaimed movies on RT especially the blockbuster ones suck really bad? According to today's critics; Guardian of Galaxy and Star Wars 7 are excellent films. Yea? Bullshit! |
| Never seen such bullshit being said. |
 |
| I've seen that argument but only in feminism related threads tbh |
 |
| No one says "you can't criticize anime"... it's just if we think your criticism sucks were gonna tell you |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| I only hear that from ecchi fans who can't come up with anything else as a defense, it's not common, but it's terrible logic. |

| I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that. I don't think I've heard any criticism of anime even gave a reason, other than a few that argued they had the better waifus. On another note, if there's any actual reason that anime can't be criticized, it's probably because people won't listen. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| No, I never said that Date. ................. |
