I'm gonna give naruto here for example...
If you look weekly at the chapter discussion you see everybody complaing,oh kishi sucks,obito sucks,this chapter was boring,etc
Are these people mental?I mean the story is almost over you pretty much know what to expect if you don't like it why bother with it anymore wtf do you expect what could pop up now at the end that could sparkle your interest?The only reason most ppl stick with it is because they grew up with it but seriously if I was a manga artist or a writter or whatever and see people acting like this I'd stop making anything for these ungrateful people
and that goes with other animes as well,people expecting the whole story in a f-ing episode and complaing each week

The people who follow those series are generally younger teenagers. It's like complaining that WoW or Call of Duty have obnoxious fanbases. In no way is it representative of the anime fandom as a whole.

Then he looked to his neighbour and said, "Why is that man so? He doesn't do things right. He should be as I am!"

His self nodded in agreement. They did not like how the Other did things. Now that he thought about it, other people didn't even think like him! If they can't look, speak, think, or agree with him, then what good were they?

And that was when he decided that other people were silly.

That's not even what I find upsetting about it. What I find upsetting is how people are always complainting about flash-backs regardless of its importance to the story.



either way I don't think that they're getting more dumb. It just depends on what fanbase you're looking at and when. Thus it may seem so at times.
For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave.

This is the only part I agree with. I mean, it's obvious that the story is failing for Naruto.

That. Along with the fact that I'm pretty sure Kishimoto and any other mangaka don't even know that MAL exist.

I don't know about the vocal hate in Japanese forums though.

The western fandom is pretty terrible in a lot of ways regardless.

I don't hate it, I just want it to be more consistent. Kishimoto himself stated that he regretted not planning ahead while he could. I also want to see the end of Naruto.

No, it's just you only picking out the negative examples and generalizing the rest of the anime fanbase as "getting worse" in the process.

Most of the time they just didn't pay attention enough to a small detail before complaining and that make them stupid if they are proven wrong.

"the big 3 hate" is more like "the big 3 hate card"

People saying they didn't like something don't "hate", I'm sure all of you said it.

It seems people are trying to bury the notion of the big 3 having elitist fan bases by playing the victim of it getting 'excessive' hate.

Not sure why they do it, maybe knowing their fanbase has a bad reputation, which could lead to people disliking the series itself, leads them to acting in a more repulsive way to fix it.

It's really illogical to complain about people arguing and discussing in place like... a forum.

This reminds me of one time in my high school debate class when we were having a battle of the sexes. One student stood up amidst the banter and, in an extremely serious and proud tone, shouted "boys are more smarter than girls!!!". Needless to say... the boys lost the debate that day.

I don't think complaining about a boring episode demonstrates anything other than their taste. Some people are very hard to please and entertain, others are insanely easy to impress. This world would be awfully boring if we all had the same opinions as yourself.

Logged in just to say that but saw that you already did that for me.

You'd have to be a insanely immature and stupid to give up on your most popular work and secured income just because of some haters, which suggests that you are the actual idiot here, renders.

Let alone that haters are everywhere on the internet and not just an exclusive occurrence to anime.

I agree, I also find it silly when people bitch about a great closing of a manga, like Naruto. I don't know if that made sense but this last battle is nicely done.
The only thing I hate is that Kishimoto won't do a time-skip, so to that, I tell him "fuck you", other than that, thank you for such a great manga.

I'm not gonna read through the thread.

My theory: Younger people get access to the internet and are able to spread their opinion thus resulting in more bullshit overall on the internet -> Anime fans don't become dumb. They start dumb and then realize 4-5 years from now "What the hell have I been writing?"
