I'm sure you're all well aware of South Park but sadly they've exposed Anime fans in their Goths Vs Emo Vs Vampire kids episodes. There was a character who only drank coffee every single day, thousands of cups in their life time, but when surrounded by Goths they drank a monster energy and claimed it was better than coffee. South park clearly mocked this because that person obviously prefered coffee but felt peer pressured to claim monster energy was better because they were surrounded by goths.

I personally believe this was a metaphor of anime fans, they spend thousands of episodes on brilliant masterpieces like One Piece, then once they take a metaphorical sip of Violet Evergarden they claim that Violet Evergarden is better just becuase they want the other anime fans to think they got good taste. When they clearly spent all their time on One Piece making it their favourite.

What do you guys think of this south park episode, does it expose anime fans?

Violet Evergreen is in fact peak anime, and you are objectively wrong for saying otherwise.

There's a whole episode of south park that is an anime parody.
theres a whole episode of south park that's a pokemon obsessiveness parody
 I don't think the goths vs emos mentions have anything to do with anime

Imagine thinking that people feel peer pressured to not like something that is #3 on most favorited anime and #2 most favorited manga.

Some anime fans try to fit in by watering down their tastes which is pretty silly.  Conformity is a pretty normal reaction when exposed to bigger groups of people irl.

That episode isn’t about anime just making a joke about contrarians in trying too hard to be anti conformist wind up conforming in their own way. South Park has nothing deep about it or anything they literally make fun of everything

Hmmmmmmm that makes sense, bro... but both One Piece and Violet Evergarden aren't good. So, it seems like one kid was drinking pee and the other was drinking shit.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

It makes sense, which is why Popotan fans can't come out in the face of pressure from those who enforce their favorite popular anime.

But Coffee is clearly better than Monster Energy. So Coffee should be elite shows such as Violet Ever-garden, Fate/Zero, Monster and the lower tier Shonen shows should be Monster Energy Drinks. It be like comparing box wine to Evangelion and Naruto to Champagne.

Whichever is better is irrelevant. People who pretend are trash. Like whatever you like there's no taste better than yours if you're authentic about it. All this is very pointless and people who hold their tastes better than anyone else's are not worth another thought.

I've probably spent hundreds of hours watching and re-watching Doraemon and Shinchan throughout my childhood when I didn't even know what an "anime" is. So according to your criteria, Doraemon and Shinchan should be my favourite anime, this is just ridiculous.

It's just general trait common among many people.

A lot of people are easy to fall under peer pressure or hivemind. It ends up with them being afraid or at least reluctant to sincerely and firmly say "I like X", even though people near them might dislike X in favor of show Y, that a hypothetical person we are talking about is not a fan of.
