Anime elitism is nice, its basically just anime which are not borind and they have more depth, the main ones that people seem to like in the anime elitism community may not be your taste, maybe you like ones which are outside it, utimately you decide and pick and choose.
@AllAlone8
Elitism literally means liking shows that are deep as the mariana trench and boring af. Like they are meant to be slow and good for getting a sleep

Okay first of all, You seem offended tho to have time for writing such long thing.

Also I'm not baiting ; I meant what I said. And maybe elitism partially means something snobbish according to your opinion but check the first post of the creator of this forum what he meant by elitism before giving your own definition . Well you may like some elite shows and dislike some also liking some shonens (ones from 2000s and another ones from 80s I think). Maybe that makes you unique among the elites but still You're an elite. It js also another characteristic as one of the user added to this forum :- Liking older classic shows

Now about the rating. Bruhhh I literally get trolled for liking shonen series like KNY with such bland story and characters & something so widely hated like AGK. Getting names like normie or mainstream watcher or not up to their level, some kind of inferior etc. But Elitist is the last thing I would ever dream of someone calling me. Bro you should seriously stalk and check my favourites and ratings asap. None said that having less average score on an anime listing website makes you an elitist. Well you didnt do any characterization but still put that whole thing on some mainstream shows.

And lastly , I never said anything bout seein posts from fanbases calling AOT 2dp4u. It's a term created by the elitists. So normies copying them desn't make their favourite show an Elitist anime. Its neither avant garde nor a classic nor anything artistic bs ; Never fits the Elite criteria. Check my reply again

"I never saw any elitist saying AOT is 2dp. Man what's an elite anime? The one's that elites call deep as the mariana trench not normies like shonen fanbase

Always had the opposite view, elitists are people trying to push people into giving a chance to the shows they consider good because they are unpopular picks. e.g. Mononoke was a common elitist recommendation.

No, he's right. People always push the same few titles, those popular among elitists. If the goal was to highlight hidden gems, they'd recommend the thousands of other titles you've probably never heard of.
@Lucifrost I am too dumb to talk about this without violating that rule of not talking about other users. But I am watching an anime because someone in the forums who made a comment that was super elitist. This is how the elitist anime now are big.
Most of the 3x3 there, were spread like virus by the elitists too. The elitists like this shit, let me try. And now we have the Elitist of the OP that parrots what elitist said?
I feel like Xxxxxxx who is directly quoted in the OP post acts that way as a joke too, and is not serious.

Is elitism even really a thing like it used to be any more? I mean I guess people will always rate shit like Monster and Berserk very highly but I barely see people act like they're better then other weebs for having those in their favs. Probably because anyone can look at a Top 100 manga rating on MAL, AniList etc and find these at the very top so it's not really an elitist thing when you happen to think the widely accepted opinion of best ever manga is Monster, Berserk, etc...

Either that or most people just realize the idea of elitism was always fuckin stupid. The only other somewhat related idiotic shit I see in relation to this topic is FMA fans going into a frenzy because some anime took it's top spot on MALs rankings.

Anyway I miss the days when Hunter x Hunter was considered an elitist anime when it's just as shonen as any other shonen out there. Now some people seriously think One Piece of all things is the gold standard (lol)

Fiction in general suffers from this. You won't see booksnobs associating with the "My Wererhino Alpha Boyfriend Rails Me In The Office Toilets Every Tuesday, What Do I Do?!" crowd.
