Basically what happens when edgy memes get out of hand. This makes me remember that dude who came to my profile one day saying he had Hitler in favs because he respected him when I post in Hitler's page people only added him to their favs because it was funny. Time sure flows fast.

it means that there are far too many people on here that have such a degenrate humor, they actually think its funny.

I don't see how it is a bad thing.

And this means nothing more than the already known fact that this site is full of edge-lords.

I always sort of cringe at meme-y hitler liking

not even because of anything relating to his role in history, it just sort of seems like a "hurr durr i haz hitler in my favorites look at me," like the most basic, entry level type of shitposting, if it can even be called that since it's a favorites list but w/e

Just kind of putting it into perspective like that makes it seem so dumb to me, and it's something that feels difficult to say is unfunny because people will instantly assume it's because of reasons other than the joke itself just being kind of stupid at this point

Shouldn't he be a character though rather than a person?

Since he is just used as a charatcer in a manga, just like Messi has been used but he is a character and not a person on MAL
https://myanimelist.net/character/106213/Lionel_Messi

O wait nvm Hitler is actually both?
Shouldn't "people" only be used for people that worked on anime/manga, and if real life people are referred to in manga/anime they should be characters



edit: well ok I see now, he is actually listed as the original creator of mein kampf, which is also made as a manga nvm, forget all I said

Hitler's Mein Kampf was adapted into a manga. Since he was the original author which the story is based, MAL added him to its database.

Excessive memetic repetition.
That's the only reason he's here.

I guarantee you if Mao Zedong, Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky or Franklin Delano Roosevelt had a book published, which was later re-adapted into manga form, they wouldn't show up because these people aren't nearly as memetic.

Not only is Hitler in the top 100 but he is higher up @ 99 than the God of anime Tezuka (his actual nickname) who is @ 150 .Alt righters tend to love Hitler and the Alt right to me seems the most prevalent in the anime community compared to other entertainment mediums. Check these threads.

https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1606285

Some people say it's just for the lolz and memes but I'm sure guys like Ivich, @Altairius etc. would have zero problem unironically telling you in detail how great of a man Hitler was and all the great things he did for Germany and Europe itself.

"I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says.
I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby".
"She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other."

There's a lot of people still in the edgy, teen angst phase one here.

"Guys, was that funny and h@rdc0r3???"

No edgemclord, so many people have made the "I love Hitler" joke that it's more of an indicator of you being a try hard than you looking edgy.

If you think about it, Hitler kinda helped out the anime industry bloom during WWII and after. Since Japan declared war on the US thanks to Hitler, Japan's military also invested a lot on anime (propaganda) thanks to that, when the war was over, Japan had the resources available to continue making more anime. So if it wasn't for Hitler, our waifus and favorite shows might not even me made.

What I think it means about MAL: trolls being trolls and acting edgy for the sake of baiting, because they think it's funny and meme.

What I think it means for MAL: more bad reputation for the site and community after the «nazi edit» incident. Which is not fine at all.

Whatever. I don't know what can we do about it, apart from assuming that a huge part of this community is immature and loves to indulge in these low quality calls for attention.

I would hope that for the majority of them it's a joke.
Either way, I think the top 100 character list is just as tragic, it shows that people have shit taste in characters, for the most part.

Well, either that person seriously likes Hitler, or he is a troll. Either way, he is evil and deserves no goodwill from me.
Yes, trolls are about as bad as nazis.

Hmm... I would not mind adding Lenin to my favorites. But on MAL, he is only a character in "Dance! Kremlin Palace", and that manga is head-hurtingly bad.

Obviously it's those nationalist Nazi from CE. Anime community have lots of Nazi supporters. It's no wonder people have negative impression on anime and anime community.

What does CE stands for? Chaotic Evil?

Oh please, you people get upset over everything. I have Makishima (from Psycho Pass) in my favorites too, but does that mean that I think it's okay to slice people's throats or turn them into freaky corpse statues? Of course not. He just makes an entertaining villain that really makes you think. Same with that Mr. Adolf that you keep bitching about.

I don't understand how anyone with basic education could not know who he is. Hitler's so often featured in entertainment, documentaries and magazines that it's near impossible not to know what he's done.

I originally added him to my favorites as a joke, but now I'm glad I did it. All the complaining from people trying to look morally and intellectually superior by judging people's favorites really made my day.

Surprise! Not every school teach the same thing! I learn more about Hitler from the internet than in my school because all the history lesson were all about my own country. Unless your country is heavily involved in World War, they don't really give a shit about teaching it apparently.

"Oh wow, people don't like that a mass murderer is being added as favorite character by many users. I am gonna do it too! That'll teach them."
Are you a teacher or studying pedagogy or something? You sure like making claims about education without basing them on anything. I'm not saying that there are no uneducated little kids in MAL, but thinking that everyone whose favorites you disapprove of are like that is an unfounded assumption.

Also most people in 1st world countries use Internet just like you, so they have a chance to learn as much about Hitler as you did. Especially with everyone calling each other "literally Hitler" over anything these days.

As for your second ''''argument'''', I don't know who you're quoting there. I added Mr. Hitler to my favorites ages ago, and I don't really add any favorites to "show off" to others in the first place. I just thought it was funny that you could add him at all.
