I'm suggesting (something that has probably been suggested) that a new section be added to the listings areas (anime & manga). A lot of people have issues with wanting to private their lists, but can't as they wish to show people their recommended, and end up making a second account to hide it. I personally don't as I don't care, my profile is completely open for all (unrelated entirely). There's also the issue of hentai just massively taking up a lot of "space", in that a series is only two or three episodes long, making your lists appear much longer than they are, and much harder to sort or look through. For example, my anime section has a total of 956 entries as of right now; however, out of the nearly thousand entries, 403 are hentai, making my list uselessly bloated with ~42% of my entries being hentai. I just believe this would overall help the cleanliness of sorting on the site and allow more privacy for individual users, whilst cutting down on duplicate accounts. I will read comments and place a poll for general thoughts. Thanks for your time.

No. I don't think introducing a new category/separate list is the best way to address these issues.

What if I want to hide not a hentai, but an ecchi like "Kiss x Sis"?

The "problem" when a certain genre is taking a lot of "space" is not unique to hentai. Shorts, animated music videos or ads are not even 2-3 episodes long, but a 1-3 minutes long and they can inflate your list very easily. An entry is an entry.

Ages ago the plan was to let users hide any entry they want.

That is certainly a good point, as I forget about music videos and short series like that existing as entries too. I didn't really think about ecchi, as that's just a genre to me, not something people would typically hide, but I can understand why. as for "an entry is an entry", I have to disagree with that as we already have some ways of subdivision for entries. Even allowing me to filter by genre within my own list would be extremely helpful, as I haven't found a way to do that and there isn't a way as far as I know. More than anything it's sorting and condensing the list down so that it's not as overfilled with much shorter series.

you can easily filter your list by genre (use the filters link on your lists) and even add tags (see all the links on my profile about me) to condense your list even more, also if on PC or desktop mode viewers you can even hide hentai with CSS.

@ShaggyZE I just went and checked and there isn't any way to filter my list by genre, and tags is currently the way that I do it, since I can sort by those at least. CSS is certainly a way to do it, but I'm guessing I'd have to write my own style sheet and I'll be honest, I don't feel like doing that (yes it's a me issue lol).

@Dubh sorry forgot they added the ability to filter by genre and demographic, but never added it to the filters (i use a script that does it)
anyway as you can see from the link I posted and in my profile, it can be done.

you just need to look at the url of genres/themes/demographics of anime/manga or go here to find the number of them

Sports = 30

https://myanimelist.net/animelist/ShaggyZE?status=7&genre=30

you can combine 2 of 3 of genre+demographic or tag

like Sports + Romance

https://myanimelist.net/animelist/ShaggyZE?status=7&genre=30&tag=Romance

and no, to hide hentai you don't need to make your own style sheet you can got to List Style Design and use the code at the bottom of this post https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2168274&msgid=71357550 and just add the @\import, change the username in the Add Custom CSS textarea

I also have a script that adds tags to your anime/manga MyAnimeList Tags Updater

@ShaggyZE That's awesome, thanks for the links. I never took the time to try out the custom styles as I was under the impression I'd have to make one myself. Again, thanks for the responses and links.

Up to this, since the site already considers Hentai as an explicit genre.

My suggestion is maybe to add a toggle button on the Profile Page and List pages. [Show/Hide Hentai] so you can view your list, stats (mean score, # of completed, etc.) with and without including Hentai.

~
Personally, I am concerned of how Hentai titles somewhat skew my ratings. I'm not sure how mean ratings work in MAL, if they give the rating weight according to volume count or chapter count. For example, out of my 700+ completed manga, 500+ is Hentai and I'm not sure how that affects my 6.51 mean score. Maybe I have a 7+ mean score for all of my non-hentai mangas read, I don't know.

When you say "hide", does this simply mean that it'll be unviewable once the list is accessed by others

or does it include not being counted in the overall completed anime?

That's nice to know, but I was asking a different question...I guess since it's not on that link, it means they never really specified it

@deg that was 9 years ago, when xinil was in charge/a dev which is no longer the case (as he hasn't logged in, in almost a year), so it may never happen now or it could be without notice tomorrow.
it doesn't bother me that much since I can hide mine from most with css (if they are on desktop mode)

I just put neutral because it doesn't matter to me, I don't watch that kind of stuff anymore. The best solution is to just let people hid specific entries on their list. According to the mal rules (last time I checked) your not suppose to create second accounts but people do it anyway. Hiding entries would solve that problem.
