| I think you’re too obsessed with labels OP. Everyone is different. Just because they like a different type of anime than you doesn’t mean they are an elitist. I like LOTGH and a few of Yuasa’s shows and wouldn’t consider myself an elitist. |
| Ah yes. I've seen that before. They will toss in a random show in their favorites to be able to bring it up later. Along the lines of "s-see! I'm not one of those people, I have this (insert ecchi or popular shounen) in my favorites. Even though the rest of their list is as textbook and predicable as it gets with the same shows from that pool of 25 or so shows that everyone knows are elitist shows. They are basically one of those guys that says they aren't racist because they have a black friend. |

| I've begun to think that the people who care about elitism this much must just feel really insecure about their own tastes, so they attack against their imaginary enemy. If someone is unfairly dissing your show, just call them out. Boom, problem solved! |

I like LOTGH and a few of Yuasa’s shows and wouldn’t consider myself an elitist. And you also like Fate, Death Note, Kimi no na Wa, etc - so obviously you like popular anime as well, not solely those elitist darlings. You wouldn't call yourself an elitist because you probably aren't one, and most other people probably wouldn't call you one either. BOOM problem solved. JFuji said: Ah yes. I've seen that before.

| Yes, these "elitists" that spend all their time worshiping "prolific" MAL reviewers are quite problematic. They spend so much time liking anime different from my tastes and surrounding themselves without people they like. It's personally very concerning and I don't feel safe anymore without a loaded M-16 within arms reach. Before this problem gets out of hand, I have an idea to stop it. A Humble Proposition for Countering the Followers of Elitist People From Being a Hindrance to MAL Users or Anime Fans, and For making them Helpful to the Community. It is a gloomy sight to weeaboos, who peruse this great forum, or travel in the web, when they see the threads, the comments, and videos crowded with elitists of little sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all of poor taste, begging every reviewer for a donation of wisdom. These weeaboos instead of being able to think for their honest understanding, are forced to employ all their time in wandering to beg intelligence for they are helpless infants who, as they grow up, either turn thieves of content for want of work, or leave their dear native community, to fight for the pretender in Anilist, or sell themselves to the Youtube. I think it is agreed by all parties, that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of the elitists and frequently of their worshiped reviewers, is in the present deplorable state of Myanimelist, a very great additional grievance; and therefore whoever could find out a fair, cheap and easy method of making these children sound and useful members of MAL forums, would deserve so well of the website, as to have his statue set up for a preserver of MyAnimeList. But my intention is very far from being confined to provide only for the children of professed elitists: it is of a much greater extent, and shall take in the whole number of infants at a certain mental age, who are born of pseudointellectuals in effect as little able to support them, , as those who demand our charity on Patreon. As to my own part, having turned my thoughts for many years, upon this important subject, and maturely weighed the several schemes of our projectors, I have always found them grossly mistaken in their computation. It is true, a child just dropt from its dam, may be supported by Legend of the Galactic Heroes with little other nourishment: at most not above the value of Serial Experiments Lain, which the elitist may certainly get, or the value in scraps, by her lawful occupation of begging for intellectual anime; and it is exactly at one year old that I propose to provide for them in such a manner, as, instead of being a charge upon the pseudointellectuals, or the parish, or wanting intellectual anime and bad philo for the rest of their lives, they shall, on the contrary, contribute to the sharing, and partly to the making of many thousands. There is likewise another great advantage in my scheme, that it will prevent those abortions of anime fans, and that horrid practice of elitists watching idol and magical girl anime, alas! too frequent among us, sacrificing the poor innocent weeaboos, I doubt, more to avoid the expense than the shame, which would move tears and pity in the most savage and inhuman scholar. The number of people on this website being usually reckoned 6 million and a half, of these I calculate there may be about nine hundred thousand who are elitists; from which number I subtract ninety thousand users, who are inactive, (although I apprehend there cannot be so many, under the present distresses of the kingdom) but this being granted, there will remain eight hundred and ten thousand elitists. I again subtract ninety thousand, for those duplicate accounts, or hentai alternate accounts. There only remain seven hundred and twenty thousand children of dull mind. The question therefore is, How this number shall be reared, and provided for? which, as I have already said, under the present situation of affairs, is utterly impossible by all the methods hitherto proposed. For we can neither employ them in critical thinking or writing useful threads; they neither build databases, (I mean in the website) nor cultivate the comment sections: they can very seldom pick up a good anime taste by stealing till they arrive at six years old; except where they are of towardly parts, although I confess they learn the rudiments much earlier; during which time they can however be properly looked upon only as probationers: As I have been informed by a principal gentleman in the county of Cavan, who protested to me, that he never knew above one or two instances under the age of six, even in a part of the kingdom so renowned for the quickest proficiency in that art. I am assured by our moderators, that a boy or a girl before twelve years old, is no useful commodity, and even when they come to this age, they will not yield above three good things, or three pounds and half at most; which cannot turn to account either to the forum or website, the charge of nutriments and rags having been at least four times that value. I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection. I have been assured by a very knowing friend from the land of the free, that a young healthy child well indoctrinated, is, at a year old, a most useful indentured servant to produce Chinese Cartoons or Taiwanese Tapestries for elitists to fawn over; and I have no doubt that it will operate as a healthy self-sufficient system. |
| how full of snowflakes is mal if people actually think this is a bait thread, prob reportbonering this thread while theyre at it, ffs have some self respect |
| I'm still not sure what's happening here. People are arguing about arguing now? |
 |
| This thread sure deviated from the original post. Elitist is such a meaningless term now anyways. It's always thrown around like the word itself invalidates someone else's opinion. |
| :) |
| People always assume I'm an elitist that only cares about seeming intelligent to others because I like so much shounen made for adolescent young boys and I won't stand for it any longer...! |

[If it's not you can ignore this.] Genuinely curious about what I could possibly be insecure about, considering most people on here know i have the opposite problem in that i'm too egotistical/arrogant/sure of myself. It was more aimed at the OP, seeing the sheer amount of elitist related threads we're getting here (but I'll reply you anyway). It's just that from what I've seen actual elitism is extremely rare, but complaining about it is dime in a dozen. Insecurity is the only reason I can think of why one would feel the need to be so defensive and loud about such a fringe phenomenon. Of course, if you disagree you're free to enlighten me what the reasoning is on your part. Well, unless you think that everyone who likes psychological anime is an elitist, in which case they're really common, myself included. But I thought the point of this thread was to be against people who dismiss anime just based on its genre, hm? |
akamizu said: AshitaNoJonas said: I guess OP is referring to people like this: https://myanimelist.net/profile/Christopher9 lmao damn just call 'em out .......... I didn't want to call anyone out. I actually know and like that person, so I hope no one is gonna attack him for his faves. I just wanted to use him as an example. Also unlike the OP I don't think there is anything wrong with liking these things. |
I don't understand the purpose of you replying to it. Nor do I understand the purpose of me replying to it myself. Am I the confused one? Maybe that's what's causing my depression. |
| The last time I check Elitists especially from the ThatAnimeSnob side hated Idol and Magical Girl shows that isn't Utena and Tutu. |
HungryForQuality said: Arimias is another user who's given Ojamejo Doremi Dokaan a 10 and this is someone with a mean score of less than 5 and who's given only two titles a 10. And here I am thinking what the hell is in that show that's making these harsh critics give it a 10? Not like I'm attacking or anything, it just kinda interests and confuses me. From what little I saw from that franchise it seems like an extremely safe bet: no fanservice (the girls are ugly as hell), no action, nothing vulgar and it's fairly easy to consume (originally made for little girls). |
| For anyone curious about Doremi, there's an insightful review. The user who has written it is apparently dead, but it's better than guessing. Of course you could also simply ask someone else with Doremi in his favorites. |

I never understood why people focus so much on the original target audience anyway and when you buy the dvds from many of these series, they are 15-17+, depending on the country. Not like it matters to begin with.

And here I am thinking what the hell is in that show that's making these harsh critics give it a 10? Not like I'm attacking or anything, it just kinda interests and confuses me. From my childhood memories and from the few new episodes I watched: they deal in a very interesting way with someone's problems and they can get very adult / not so childish like you would imagine they were in an anime for children. I think there was a good episode about grief and also divorce etc. It's educational and pedagogical for children in first place and as I can remember it's just sweet. But I didn't have too much interest in it as a child, because it looked so sweet. I still don't understand why you would think it's so much better than anything else, but to each their own. xD The final season of Doremi (which is supposed to be the best one) was never dubbed in German, therefore no one who watched the show back on Pokito has actually seen the part everyone praises. That would sort of explain, why people who watched it many years ago never call it a masterpiece. |
Like literally or this is a backhand way to say that this topic gave you depression? |
| I mean, if you are the kind that judges/tags people as elitists sole from looking at an random online person's favourites list, you are probably the kind that takes MAL scores too seriously. As a no-brainer : People can some enjoy eating some delicious Indian mutton biryani while at the same time love eating that boogeyman incarnate, known as the banana pizza from Sweden. |

Yes it's great fun. |
