| Don't take me wrong, I'm okay with people who like Berserk or Evangelion, but they're the most normie tier of edgelords. There are definitely way edgier anime out there, people are just not looking hard enough for it because they're too obscure and not popular enough. Am I wrong? Do you agree or disagree with me?? |

| guys why are newcomers watching starter anime? i cannot wrap my head around this |
| I think they are both, in a way. Normies who are edgy, or try to pose as such, but lose their minds when exposed to actually and genuine edgy anime or manga. By "losing their minds" I mean overreacting, either with too much excitation over seeing edgy stuff, or with being overly shocked by it and treating it as an opportunity to preach others how their taste should be like and how their moral code is wrong if they watch any R+ rated show that ain't liked by the normie who is preaching in a way I described before. |

| Back in early 2010s the signature edgy anime were Mirai Nikki and Elfen Lied. I no longer see fans of any of these two anymore. |

| Berserk and Evangelion are both extremely popular, so yeah, I do agree with you on that, but one can still be edgy and a newcomer; it's just highly not recommended to be both lol. And yep, obscure and edgy anime do indeed exist, although at the same time, "edgy" can have more than just one meaning. But as for edgelord anime fans, I feel like they're extremely uncommon. I only remember seeing a small handful of them in my entire life. From those few anime edgelords, three of them in particular have extremely conceited, provocative, and disrespectful/toxic personalities and do a lot of trash talking. Here are what they like/dislike: Edgelord 1: loves Evangelion & Berserk, and hates 99.9% of all anime Edgelord 2: loves Evangelion & Berserk, and to my knowledge, hates 99% of all anime Edgelord 3: hates both Evangelion & Berserk, but loves popular colorful-looking anime series that are aimed at kids and young teens Is there a correlation between edgy personalities and having certain kinds of anime in your favorites? Eh, probably not. |
Idk but whenever I meet someone like that online I assume they look like this: |
 |
| Anime? Pfft. True edgelords get their kicks from manga. (Don’t cut yourself on the edges of those pages.) |
and i guess that i just don't know |
| Edgelord normies Edgelord zoomers both of them at once still make sense. |

| Most teens nowadays are so bad at being edgelords. Being edgy meant something back in my days. |
 |
| "Are newcomer edgy anime fans not edgelords but actually normies?" More like normie wannabes...since the actual normies don't take anime so seriously, which is the proper thing to do. |
| There's nothing edgy about Evangelion. The term you're looking for is "pretentious". |

| @Adnash Yeah the existence of Berserklejerk shows that berserk fans have always had a huge amount of edgelords. I think some fans genuinely only like Berserk for the rape sometimes because it's all they talk about. Donovan, Griffith, the horse, Wyald, at a point it's just hard to associate with the fandom. These people used to be rare, but now they're more prevalent than the non-creepy berserk fans. Miura has apologized for the weird scenes and toned them down, but it's still annoying that they exist. I think miura definitely had some sexual intent with the majority of these scenes.. i don't know why he feels the need to constantly show the females completely clothless and vulnerable for multiple panels or chapters to depict a rape scene. its why recommending it to people is so awkward, and why i don't do it anymore cuz its just too much lol. You can spot the edgy fans when they justify the weird rape scenes by saying "it shows the horrific reality of the berserk world" like cmon ☠️☠️ |

normie tier of edgelords Fucking made my day! Here's your Reddit gold, sir. Many dramatic and avant-garde works commonly described as "edgy" are liked simply because they are dramatic and avant-garde. The cult following of Satoshi Kon's movies is the poster child for this. Kon is a hack who has produced almost nothing of value, but he was a successful director because his movies looked so weird and inaccessible, nobody wanted to criticize them to not accidentally come out as someone uneducated and stupid. There are definitely way edgier anime out there, people are just not looking hard enough for it because they're too obscure and not popular enough. Black★Rock Shooter (TV). Hits most if you saw Madoka Magica and some of its terrible copycats, and if you are just a smart, experienced and demanding viewer. This gem is certainly not for everyone, the shounen crowd and even fake intellectual fans of that Kon artist hate it for being beyond their level, but if this gem is made for you to enjoy, you will be more than impressed by its ahead-of-time nature - you will be absolutely crushed, traumatized and blown away. My review on Anilist best describes what makes it brilliant. https://anilist.co/review/24331 |

| I mean I think there is some credence to the idea, especially if they take the religious terminology and names of Neon Genesis Evangelion seriously. In his video on Deus Ex: Human Revolution, HBomberguy made a point that surface level references to religious or mythological figures is, well...surface level. Simply calling something Balor or Mjolnir or Nirvana does not mean that the reference means anything. Comparing egotistical endeavors to Icarus flying too closely to the sun is a clumsy analogy anyone could do. |

| While I'm not that much familiar with various subreddits or Reddit as a whole, I recall there are two big communities dedicated to Berserk. One of them is dead serious about this manga, and the other one is just focusing on more chilled way of enjoying it. They are two sides of one coin. However, from my experience, I found the latter group as way better to talk about Berserk than the former. You could laugh and have a nice chat, instead of feeling as if you walked on shattered glass, because someone might not feel good to hear that there are important scenes with dark elements crucial to either the lore or characters in a dark fantasy story. Kenzolo-folk said: Many of them, at least from what I noticed from lurking both subreddits for a while, are just fooling around and trolling. They see how the other subreddit gets triggered by that jokes (I heard about people punished for mentioning controversial scenes without being 100% serious; dunno if that's true, because I'm not familiar with Reddit), so they proceed with triggering folks who are taking Berserk too seriously. Not to defend one or another group, like I said before, I think they represent two sides of that "Berserk fan" coin. One is dead serious, the other one is extremely chilled.I think some fans genuinely only like Berserk for the rape sometimes because it's all they talk about. Donovan, Griffith, the horse, Wyald, at a point it's just hard to associate with the fandom. These people used to be rare, but now they're more prevalent than the non-creepy berserk fans. Kenzolo-folk said: If you are referring to his Le Figaro interview from 2019, then he mostly said he was guessing whether such scenes were necessary at the time he drew them. He was also talking about how the industry was back then and how it was during the time the interview was made.Miura has apologized for the weird scenes and toned them down, but it's still annoying that they exist. Kenzolo-folk said: While we can't be sure and probably we will never be sure, since Miura-sensei is no longer alive so he won't be able to elaborate on that subject, I think he might've had a weird fetish connected to such stuff. In some of his other manga, written back when he was still a young author, you could see similar scenes with sexually assaulted female characters. They looked like Casca in some cases, which makes me think that Miura-sensei perhaps liked short-haired women. Too bad he had to put them in scenes involving sexual assault. Years later his preferences changed and he began putting lolicon stuff into his works, Berserk included, but not only. For instance, there was that one disgusting "golden shower" scene, appearing out of the blue, in Gigantomachia.i don't know why he feels the need to constantly show the females completely clothless and vulnerable for multiple panels or chapters to depict a rape scene. its why recommending it to people is so awkward, and why i don't do it anymore cuz its just too much lol. Kenzolo-folk said: Yeah, that's the certified classic. xD People who think that forced scenes depicting controversial and disturbing stuff are the very essence of dark fantasy. Sure, a lot of dark fantasy stories have them, I don't deny that. But if they appear out of place, feel extremely forced and their sole purpose is shock value comparable to a ghost jumping outta wardrobe, then they belong to the same group as they'd belong if they appeared, even if toned down, in any other genre. I mean the group of bad, low-quality writing, lol.You can spot the edgy fans when they justify the weird rape scenes by saying "it shows the horrific reality of the berserk world" like cmon ☠️☠️ |

| @CHAMPIONOFDEATH Agreed. I think most of people, or even everyone, who had any contact with a typical CSM fanatic some time before the anime adaptation started airing, would agree as well (if they were not devoted CSM fans themselves, that is). If we really were to put "edgy normie" in the hypothetical anime dictionary, it could be put next to "typical CSM fanatic", I guess. But hey, stereotypes are bad, of course. Not all devoted CSM fans were or are like that. I met several of them and they are cool, passionate about the manga they like so much. With some I'm friends till this day I was just mentioning the group of obnoxious, toxic even, fanatics who used to be quite loud not that long ago and fit the abstract definition of someone who could be called as "edgy normie". |

Kenzolo-folk said: u cant look at a casca cosplayers comment section on insta without seeing "I wanna be griffith now" jokes I am a fan of Norm MacDonald but Jesus, too many Anime fans have no social tact. If someone is going to make a joke concerning sexual assault, they should at least not target it towards another person. but its true before berserk got super mainstream before the authors death there wasn't as many "edgy" fans as there are now. the rape jokes by weird 15 year olds are so much more prevalent now. While I always believe youth and adults in their "phases" have always existed in anime, I think it has gotten worst in some respects over years. The supposed rise of "political correctness" and its supposed presence online has lead some people to obsess over who they see as their extreme ideological antithesis, so they overcompensate in the opposite direction and use it as a carte blanche to spew any disgusting thoughts and frame it as a joke. Lolicon jokes are pretty rampant in most animecentric Discord, alongside rape jokes whenever Berserk is mentioned. I see no reason to use Discord. Seeing works like Berserk or really most anime used for political brownie points in an online culture war feels so disrespectful to the author. I will defend some of the casual meme attitude though; games like Fear and Hunger and Dark Souls have a done a ton to introduce people to Berserk, and difficult games with dark atmospheres have always lent itself well to people making light-hearted jokes about their subject matter. It is just gallows humor, and I argue it helps with analyzing a work versus taking it so seriously as to dismiss criticisms or worst, alternative opinions. |
