Art is subjective, no one's taste is superior nor inferior to anyone elses.

If you can justify your scoring of a show other than saying "it's bad" or "it's good", then no one should say that their taste is "better", nor force their opinions on you. Unfortunately, this is not the case and is getting old real quick.

I don't really like fans who mock people and call them "triggered" when they get talk about representation or sexual violence in anime, and then turn around and cry about being "taste shamed" when someone calls them an incel or misogynist because of the shows they watch. Who's triggered now?

Funnily enough, people absolutely do TOTALLY define themselves by the shows they watch, and wear their anime-fan-identity as a badge of honor, but then act like no one knows the first thing about them at the first sign of mockery over it. People even call themselves shounentards, just like fujoshi. Well, it was you in the first place who exposed that your identity is an absolute vacuum that you filled in with the shit you buy and watch for lack of any other important interests and personality traits. If you define yourself that way, and make a public display of it, you live with it. Like if you're going to fill your signature and profile with pictures of basically naked anime girls, what kind of world do you think we live in where you're entitled to nothing but praise and compliments for it? Get real. This isn't an appendage you were born with. This isn't some double standard. You choose what shit to watch. You choose what shit to plaster all over your profile and what shit to say in your posts and reviews. You can be criticized for it.

Basically, if you feel like you're being "taste shamed," maybe you should ask yourself why you care so much if someone "shames" your taste in the first place. Is it really such a big deal to be made fun of over your anime taste that we have to tack on a term like "shaming?" Being called a shounentard is not really comparable to being called, say, a slut. It's just your hobby... or isn't it?

On the other hand, ya, I agree, just insulting someone is not a substitute for thoughtful criticism or argument, if that's the register of the conversation; and it's ridiculous to, the minute someone starts arguing with you on MAL, go to their profile, see that they liked MHA or something, and call them a shounentard off rip because of one stupid meaningless detail like that.

I was looking at something on your list to shame you, because this post makes too much sense, and I like some good-spirited shit-flinging...
But that's a really good list. Even has Texhnolyze rated super low, as it should be.

lol and i was fully expecting to come back to this thread and see that a hater was quoting me days later. glad i actually checked.

i couldn't watch past the first few episodes of texhnolyze. it just seemed total edgelord indulgence about how br00tal life is and I just was like "ok, but so what?" gotta give me more than that. though the reasoning for comparing them is obvious enough, it pains me that it's eternally going to be lumped together with Lain :,(

btw I often notice your posts and am always curious what the avatar/sig set are from

I think it's alright to trash an anime, but shaming someone else because they like it is very dumb. Not everyone can like or hate the same things. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

The only way I would taste-shame someone is if they don't like a show I like.
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

I don't care about them. I'm not going to change my ratings/watch animes I don't like just because others are vulgar against my tastes. I watch what I like and give ratings by my own feelings.
It's said that for each 1 supporter there are 10 haters so :D

The whole "good taste"/"bad taste" thing is basically just a meme. If you enjoy something then that's great. No need to care at all about what other people think.

haha, see my list. I don't gonna private buddy on others behalf. Let's rock the world.
"I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do.

I am pretty sure they're scientific that states if a person uses shamming someones taste unironically in an argument that person is most definitely a virgin.

It's generally not a good idea to get personal in discussions about something unpersonal. Especially in the anime community, I have witnessed that many are either gatekeeping or putting others down for their taste. And I don't want to offend anyone, but anime is also only a show/show genre. There is no need to attack someone personally because of their taste. It just doesn't make sense.

"Your thoughts on taste-shaming argument?"

It's a cringe joke which some people (from both sides) take way too seriously.

Taste shaming is for low-lives. It’s one thing to debate the quality of two anime, and it’s a whole different thing to wholeheartedly believe that there’s an objective hierarchy to taste. The latter is just idiotic and narcissistic. There is technically no such thing as a superior art style or genre.

I agree my stickman drawing art style is as good as demon slayer art style and the new genre is amazing dont fall from your chair when you hear this- the genre is -> "lapdow" short for looking at paint dry on wall. If someone is interested i can send yall my manga work when i have time.

Edit: SPOILER ALERT
The next chapter will include grass growing for about 6 chapters, this will probably the endboss
