I don't know anymore since most people just ask me if it's good. ...which is a question that I don't know how to answer.

Doesn't really matter. I don't like some animes that might be favs of someone else

Taste is subjective. I don't care what some random stranger on the internet thinks about my favorite anime, nor do I care. I may hate their favorite anime and they can hate mine. Why does it matter? They're not going to change my opinion on my favorite anime so why would some rando's opinion matter to me?

Is "shitting on" the same thing as valid criticism? I don't care either way.

Crying over people hating on Bleach? I got used to it, at least now the haters need the copium after seeing that the most dropped anime, suddenly is 2nd 3rd most ranked Anime.

I've probably blocked some people on MAL before for aggressively shitting on my favorites, but they're probably unaware of it. I would never engage with someone who's obviously trying to stir shit up and if I block them I don't have to get triggered every time I see them do their thing. It just works.
I probably regret this post by now.

I've never seen anyone shit on my favorite anime though my favorite anime isn't truly my favorite anime since it's hard to choose one anime to be the one above the others.

Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no

They are probably right, but I read their opinion to see if they are saying something new to me, or not xd
After that I just forget about it.

Most of the people, who shit on one or more of my favorite anime, are most times not in particular people I'd care about anyway, nor most of them do they write down their thoughts in a comprehensible manner.

I just shrug and tell myself they probably didn't/couldn't understand it properly and on a deep enough level lol. Their loss.

Edit: also I mention that the anime has consistently been #1 on MAL for years so clearly I'm not the issue lol.

Ignore them they just want attention. The first comment on my profile was a troll trashing my taste in anime but I left the comment up and just ignore the sender it the best way.

Why should I even bother? Every person has their own taste, it is normal. I pay no attention to them.

There are no comrades for taste and color, as famous russian proverb saying. I agree with it.

I mean, I don't really care much, art is inherently subjective, and imo good art is able to be interpreted differently by anyone who consumes it, and that means that some people will interpret it in a way that makes them not enjoy it, and thats okay. Everyone has a unique perspective that informs their enjoyment of series, so who am I to get angry over someone disagreeing with me?

Honestly would not care less lol. They’re entitled to their opinions.

I just ignore them and live on with my life.
It would be a waste of time to argue and defend my fav anime.
I will kindly just mind my own business and be lowkey.

I don't take it personally. Their tastes don't match up to mine. I don't value their opinion that highly. I'll enjoy what I like in peace. Or have fun gushing about the anime with people who also like it. Nothing is going to be universally liked. Maybe sometimes I'll find it funny that they think the way they do. Other times I might be quietly judging them. Interacting with the person shitting on anime that I like is a waste of my time (especially if it's on the internet). Etc. Etc.

So far all of them were objectively garbage takes not even worth addressing.
I don't even recall any constructive criticisms.

I have mastered the art of "not caring", afterall.

I violently slam my keyboard typing out some of the most unhinged rants and insults I can process while angry crying into my anime body pillow coated in snot and potato chip dust.

That or I just ignore them because life's too short to listen to online people judge your superficial anime taste. Anime's supposed to be fun, man!

I don't have to "cope" over someone shitting on an anime I like, I'm a big boy and can deal with different opinions.

If they have something of substance to say or to critique then that's great and I might even be willing to discuss things and share my thoughts.
If they shit on a show without giving any reason as to what (or why) they hated (it), then I just ignore it.

Well it depends on the person for me. If it is someone who doesn't like anime then I just ignore them, but if it's someone who does then I just joke around by saying how trash their anime style is.

I don't really need to "cope" because I'm fully aware my favorites have flaws. Though I'll admit if the reasoning behind the hate doesn't really make any sense, it's a bit annoying. But I'm not going to throw a tantrum and start an argument over it .

You have to realize that their opinions are theirs alone. It shouldn't change the fact that you like an anime no matter how many times they justify it being shit. Because in the end anime is subjective. And subjectivity is based on multiple factors. Be it your personality, upbringing, Environment, Culture, ethics, philosophy, etc. That's why we all experience art differently. And that's the beauty of it. If we all view art the same way, then there won't be such a thing as individuality. Because art is a medium in which one can freely share their thoughts, Ideas, and emotions. And those ideas are then conveyed to the viewer. The viewer will then interpret such art and incorporate it using their own understanding and thus create a new perspective. This allows us to express ourselves with the medium and thus create new ideas in the process. In the end, nobody can really dictate how you view a certain anime. It's all psychological. You allow what gets to you and what doesn't, the human brain is amazing like that.

Depends on how they talk about it. If they just don't like it, I actually enjoy talking about what they do and don't like about it.

But if they're just doing the whole spiel of "it's shit, I won't say why cause it should be obvious, and YOUR shit for liking it", then I just ignore them, I don't require other people's feelings to like things.
