Because the people who made this site sees anime as a Chinese and Korean thing too.

If you want to hear from the top admin's mouth herself, look up some thread about why RWBY isn't allowed. She talks about how the site used to have all animation and comics but then as it got too much they had to remove countries, etc and for some reason they kept chinese and Korean works.

Maybe due to the term Douga. 動画

Which is basically moving picture. And is the term applied to anime in japan. But also the term applied in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea.

The following entries are allowed in the anime database:

Professionally produced, animated works created:
in Japan for the Japanese market;
in Korea/China for the Korean/Chinese market;
as a joint production between Japan/Korea/China and another country.

Also, this isn't MAL only, aniDB has korean and chinese stuff too. Yeah, some anime are literally chinese cartoons, deal with it.

It's American animation and has been denied countless times by MAL mods. Do people who want Last Airbender to be added also want for example The Simpsons to be added to anime database?

Because anime is Chinese cartoons.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

I don't see the problem. Many people who like anime are fans of animation as a medium. It will always be predominantly Japanese animation here so it's not like sharing or discussing animation from elsewhere will blur the sites purpose.

Incidentally I was thinking of making a thread to share shorts, a load of mine would be from Europe. The reason I haven't isn't because of country of origin, but because I don't know how to do it without it becoming a listing thread.

I want anime inspired stuff here. The Simpson's does not have animation inspired by anime nor draws anything significantly from it.

Chinese and korean animated works are commonly reffered to as anime by anime databases, Avatar isn't.

Make your own anime list site if you want to add cartoons..?
If you really want to make a list of cartoons (avatar etc), just write it up on your profile info under a heading eg.
Cartoons I've watched:
1. Avatar: the last airbender - watching - 43/50 - 10/10
2. Horrid henry
Etc

The Simpsons is animated in South Korea, but MAL specifies that it must be targeted towards an Asian demographic rather than just outsourced.
