I swear man. The Groups on Facebook and pages are downright cringe filled with content that makes me believe Anime fans in general lacks brain cells. Why? Whenever an Anime related account pops up in front of me on Instagram I can't help but wish that I was never introduced to this medium.

Posting Anime girls and shitting on every real girl that exists, comparing themselves with the most generic and dense main protagonist, wishing they were in anime world and blah blah. Heck even the memes are humorless most of the times. Are Anime fans forever 14 years old with brain cells lacking? I genuinely want to know what's the problem lmfao

Using the term "anime fans" is a bit broad. Not every fan of anime is a cringing tool, although there is a reason I don't use FB or Instagram.

Instagram is *the* place for cringe anime content. I scrolled through the HxH content there (my favourite anime) and i ended up feeling really sad that such a great show could produce fans like that. Reddit’s not bad, and neither is MAL.

Obviously cringe platforms will be brimmed with cringe content, be it anime, TV shows, sports.
FB and Insta are the hubs of cringe people and posts. Reddit, on the other hand, is miles better.

It's called branch out to other hobbies and see toxic behavior. How is sending people death threats or harassing children not cringe (SW fandom), how is obsessing and fetishizing Asian men not cringe (K-Pop). How is obsessing over teenage boys and their physical ability or cheering to see them get injured not cringed (pretty much anyone who has been into pro sports). Or using YA lit to base your political discourse how is that not cringe.

You eventually learn that all media consumption hobbies are cringe. If you don't want to be cringe don't participate in any fandoms pretty simple. All of that seems way worse than low effort posting that you described.

Some of the pick-up lines I often use to get the gals come from anime so not really sure where you got that.

At the end of the day, you should enjoy anime for the enjoyment it gives you and not for the people who comprise it. Not every fan of anime is going to have the best personalities or interests that fit yours. The only problem I have with anime groups on Facebook is that the people in them spoil shows for you without any consideration. Even though I may find anime girls attractive, I never go as far as trying to compare them to real-life girls. Often times the physique of anime girls can be drawn in a way that is unattractive to me. I don't think there's anything wrong with people relating to a character in anime though. Anime characters can sometimes be a source of motivation for people to better themselves.

A major part of the values of anime culture is glorifying youthfulness and social awkwardness and quite frankly it should stay that way. If you are so annoyed by that that you wish you hadn't gotten into the medium then you should leave. Nothing is more obnoxious than asking a community to welcome you and then shitting on their values when they do welcome you.

Fandoms are cringey as a whole, its not necessarily something that belongs only to the anime community.

The problem with the anime community as a whole though, is that the entire medium is being spammed with plenty of subpar franchises. Some of these franchises click with certain communities, so said communities develop very annoying behavior that they just "spam" everywhere - the JoJo fandom for instance, is one of the most annoying fandoms of the anime community as a whole. They worship a subpar franchise that even the writer itself barely cares about, yet they treat all the fuck ups and random shit Araki poops into the series as "creativity" and treat Araki as a "writing genius".

I never said that they're unique to anime fandom. I said that anime fandom has a stupidly high amount of them. Gaming community for example, you see people generally talk about shit like graphics, gameplay design, levels, enemies, builds, all that shit, quite commonly, and with some degree of intelligence and civility. Anime on the other hand? Sub vs. dub, old vs. new, objectivity vs. subjectivity, favorites and waifu wars in far too much excess, and more shit like that cancer is just way too bloody common, no matter the cesspit you step into.

Uh... the stuff you are talking about are most likely related to standards. The standards of the average anime viewer are very VERY low, I won't deny that. However, there are plenty of gaming communities with very low standards. Look at the Hearthstone community for instance, an entire community of gambling addicts who think that playing in a game that is completely built with multipile layers of RNG is skill dependant.

There are plenty of LoL players who are dumb elitists who think anything harder than LoL isn't a real game, yet everything simpler than LoL is completely casual and not worth their time.

Some CS players who think the game is the most complex thing humanity will ever reach, arguing that still being stuck to a game that is over a decade old is justified because they seem to think no one game matches the "quality" of that game.

Pushing toxic feminism into gaming, thinking that giving a female a sidecut hairline makes a woman seem stronger and more independent of men. Pushing SJW agendas into any game they can.

I am sorry, but they exist everywhere. Its just some dumb gimmick anime youtubers came up with that became popular when thinking that "waifus" actually matter for the quality of an anime, the constant arguing regarding the size of breasts, dumb jokes of drinking pee or other very shallow shit that Japanese authors come up with because they lack the talent to come up with something unique and original.

Because most of the shows are just a type of escape from the real life. That is why realism isn't that common and that is why the mc is bland in most shounens. That is also why so many people try to relate to the mc and they feel bad when the characters are weak or if one of the girls isn't interested in him... also why rape and nrt triggers them so much.

Basically, the community has a lot of over sensitive people with low self esteem that want to escape from reality.
