| I mainly "hate" those that take it too far. Cosplaying, drawing fanart and even those "AMV's" I can handle but bodypillows, lengthy fanfiction and anything obsessive like that I find very creepy. I also don't care for all those "memes" like the so-called waifus, "best girl", etc. |
 |
| It's the internet, most communities are horrible and have hypocrits, pretentious douches, elitist, haters...anime community isn't different from that. Though there can be plenty of nice people to talk with, you'll often find some troll threads here and there. |

I don't get all the SAO and SNK hate when they aren't that bad (nothing extraordinary, but they aren't that bad to deserve all the hate they get). Its also dumb to see people comparing there favorite shonens to other ones to justify why the other one is shit. |
| How people only watch harem shows. Its disgusting |
| I could write a lot about what I hate about the anime community but most of that won't be particularly exclusive to the anime community. Positive aspect I can cite is they are a little bit open minded than other communities to delve into a foreign and odd medium like Japanese animation, and because of that they won't be the type to judge others based on their hobbies. |

Its literally censored porn with a copy and pasted story. |
Z-Dante said: Dunno about the entire community , but when shitposters suddenly starts giving serious statement , it feels strangely weird. Everyone should just stick to what they do best. But sometimes even I like sounding smart creating a good discussion . Z-Dante said: I just want the community to be fun. This is all I want really .A fun place . Discussion is nice and all but nothing beats a good circlejerk/shitpost . Too much in a row is mentally exhausting though .Almost as exhausting as pure seriousness . |

But when your show is filled with it is when you should just watch the real thing. |

| @NateMKII I'm pretty sure people who watches ecchi watches hentai and the real thing... I don't even watch an ecchi to fap, I watch it to be entertained... just like any anime I watch. There are some pretty good stories with an ecchi tag(even those with "borderline porn"). But, I'm pretty sure your closed mind would not register that. |

| Extending on OP's second point, I think having tunnel vision in terms of defending one's own opinion and not respecting others' can be annoying, anime-related or not. I know it's not easy for people to consciously keep an open mind, but completely trashing on someone else's opinion on an anime/manga and arguing senselessly seems like so much effort just to get their point across. That effort could be directed elsewhere and more productively. Just say your piece, respect and understand others, and move on. |
| The flamewars the community gets into are fucking obnoxious. Honestly, who gives a shit if someone likes SAO or didn't get Serial Experiments Lain? Even if I don't agree with them, I'll respect them for who they are. (Unless they go too far with their obsessions, but that's on their behavior/personality and not the shows themselves) I see a lot of petty complaints as well. (I could call out that one guy who dedicated a whole fucking thread to why he hates Overlord's OP (Seriously where the fuck's any interesting discussion in that? (The most I can go is listing off anime openings you dislike, but listing threads are banned; or flamewars over how good 1 fucking song is, but you know my stance on flamewars)), but for the sake of not being seen as a douchebag I won't do so) |

 |
| I hate myself for wanting to take breaks in between reading chapters by coming out here on the forums to see and realize what kind of people are my fellow anime/manga fans. Every single time I come here I leave in complete disappointment, but sadly enough, this is the site I am used to and not many other sites really suit me and my completely self-destructive nature. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
JkayW said: Seriously. Thank you for this. I don't think it could've been explained any better.Inb4: I hate when people talk about what they hate. Hi gals and guys from MAL. I started watching anime in March of 2015 and I saw the anime community on the outside as a bunch of twelve year olds fighting over cartoons, I didn't really think much of anime back then though. So 11 months now. I just want to list four things I hate about the community. You don't have to read this, you can just post. Although I'd like if you read my post. Hopefully it doesn't go to the length of a blog. I'm not saying there can't be good anime fans by the way. I've met tons of great people IRL and in MAL that AREN'T LIKE THIS. I personally think the anime community is one of the cancerous fanbases on the planet for four reasons. 1. Selective morals "Don't judge me for liking anime" "Anyone who doesn't like anime is an idiot" shut up. Please. If you don't want people to judge you for the things you like then don't judge them, someone may like Justin Beiber and think you are weird for liking anime or vice-versa, but you need to realize that you are passing judgement on people when you do that and being hypocritical. I hate seeing it and it happens far too often, especially in the anime community. 2. OH MY GOD YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS ITS LIKE THE GREATEST THING EVER!!! When fanboys go and overhype the show they love so much what they don't know is they are actually a cancer to their own series. They are giving pre expectations about a show we may or may not like it and making it so we may not enjoy an anime to its fullest extent. 3. Dub haters. These are the anime purists who feel the anime is at its most pure when it is only watched in the subbed version. Some of these dub haters believe that Japanese is the most beautiful language in the world and will bash an anime if it is in a different language, even if it is the language they speak. Stop stereotyping and actually try it out. I don't care for preference but it starts getting bad when you say the following reasons. -English dubs have a small cast of voice actors -English ruins the "feel" of the show -English is a horribly ugly language compared to Japanese. -English dubs censor and butcher jokes from the Japanese versions -English dubs are for weeaboo's who know nothing about anime and Japan. -Characters have no emotions when they talk -ALL English dubs "just suck" 4. Using the word weeaboo as slang for anime fan. I think of this as when black people use the word nigga as a form of communication when it is used as a form of insult which is just fucking retarded. It's insulting to black people because it can signify that you are undeserving of a birth-given name, simply because your skin is dark. Weeaboos are people that try and be Japanese and dismiss their own culture calling themselves Japanese, not anime fans. Stop using this shit as slang for anime fans or else you just destroy the definition. Like that time when Oxford changed the definition of "literally" to now be used sarcastically. If anything use Otaku if you're BY DEFINITION "people with obsessive interests, commonly the anime and manga fandom." Overall most of them think they're opinion is fact and have bad communication skills whilst constantly chucking swears and insults. Let me know your thoughts! |
 |
| People who behave as if everyone on here is a weabo except themselves. The only people that use terms like weabo are anime watchers/ manga readers, who are subconsciously ashamed of being a nerd or something, so they try to pretend to themselves that they aren't a nerd by spending there time on MAL on search & destroy missions of any threads or persons they consider to be weabo, which is in essense any thread or person on here that has an element of joy or happyness or fun in it. Doing that somehow makes them feel that if they hate on weabos, then by definition they cannot themselves be a weabo - I would strongly disagree, I think these people are in fact the biggest weabos - they are the 'self-hating nerd' that hate on the use of words like kawai, but practically have a keyboard orgasm any time an acceptable (pseudo academic) Japanese word or phrase like cour or seiyū is mentioned. |
| Like any community there's a variety of people in them. Some are cool, some are idiots. Unfortunately the negatives tend to speak louder than the positives, even if the positives outscore the negatives by a significant amount, that's why people are so quick to label a community "cancerous". Following that logic there is not a single community that isn't cancerous. |
 |
| Every community is shit m8. The sooner you realize this the sooner you stop giving a fuck and you'll start having more fun. I like to bait people who haven't realized this yet. In the end it's nothing personal and I hope they learn it the same way I did. |

Ecchi is sexier than hentai. Teasing is sexier than full-frontal nudity. Also, ecchi often has better character design with more focus on it. |

NateMKII said: How people only watch harem shows. Its disgusting You're being naive. These days, pretty much anything can be a harem. And a lot of the time, it is. So you can watch an action show for the action and the heroism, but it would be full of girls. (and I totally like it like that) Also, people around these forums have already explained why they like harems more than (or in addition to) hentai or real actor porn. Many times. Go read them, there should be a tread not that long ago. |

I don't know if this is bait but.... It's still 'associated' with a term used to bring down an entire race for a long period in history where blacks were treated like property, beaten, raped and worked against our own will. Trying to make light of it doesn't make it better. It's funny how people use it so lightly and casually. |

| I hate when people say all anime with fan service (nudity or suggestive themes in my opinion) are terrible. Because no, not all fan service anime aren't. Some great series mix just a little bit in like a spice; others base it around the fan service for kicks which I personally enjoy; and then there are the series that take it a LITTLE too far like series centered around lolis or brother/sister incest (which I really am not a fan of). At the end of it all I just don't like the arrogance to say an entire genre is terrible because there are some bad examples. |
Flevalt said: NateMKII said: How people only watch harem shows. Its disgusting Harem, Ecchi, School and Slice of Life. Usually all coupled together with one another or with the worst kind of "Comedy" imaginable. The same people have the biggest mouths about how every non-harem sucks. Mmmm, I have never seen this kind of people and never heard such bold statements, mind showing me a place where I can find them? |
| Absolutely agreed with everything. Especially number 5. I'm pretty sure there are some decent people here, but often they're overshadowed by the cancerous morons. Don't forget those who rant about how the original source is always better and complain when they didn't adapt 100% of it into anime. |

volt16 said: Those are just previews and get deleted once the show is finished airing.What I hate is how people rush to put out reviews of ongoing anime without them actually being over yet. Like honestly, HOW the hell can people constantly post reviews of Erased (or OPM a couple of months ago) without having seen the entire show? How do you know it's a 10/10 without having seen the ending? How do you know it's a 1/10 without having seen how the plot unfolds? This annoys me to no end. People just watch 3-4 episodes then post their verdict as if it's credible. Guys, hold your goddamn horses. Watch the entire thing THEN you can review it. Phew, sorry I had to vent. |
|
| My biggest complaint is that some need to get out more. Many of the story lines that some hardcore ones love are uninspiring and could find a better plot in a Dr, Seuss book. |

This hits the nail on the head of what I hate most about the community. Nothing wrong with giving a review/opinion but at least wait until its finished or until a lot of episodes are out if its a long running anime like One Piece for example. I kinda think some people do it on purpose just to get a lot of likes on their review early so its one of the top ones that people read over and over. On the other hand what I like about the community is that you can have some good conversations with people about anime without it just turning into a hate fest or a crazy fandom. Having a good/fun discussion is what I normally like about most communities, only difference between here and other places is the subject. |
| I don't watch dubs, each to their own but just because the show's successful doesn't mean it automatically gets a dub. The real sausage is that Fanboyism is so goddamn annoying. (If you read my profile, you'd know what particular franchise I'm talking about.) |
 |
| As much as the anime community can be full of wonderful weirdos like myself, I also find myself really annoyed and shocked at how vicious, opinionated and arrogant a lot of fans are!! Needless to say, I've facepalmed quite a few times. Top of the list of things I hate within the community- *English dub haters- those people who automatically write all dubs off as trash before even watching them simply because they're not in the native language and therefore will never be as good; as if they're watching a lesser version of an anime if they watch it dubbed. True, there are bad dubs, but there are amazing ones as well- just look at Baccano, Durarara, Black Butler, Hetalia, Hellsing (and so on)! It's annoying when there are a lot of talented English VA's, yet a lot of fans badmouth their work :/ *The wars- Oh. My. God. This. I cannot handle it when people get into figurative (and sometimes even literal) wars over who is best girl, best guy, best couple etc. Look, I get it. You adore a certain character and you think they should get with that other character because they're obviously meant to be! OTPs are great...but that's all they are until there's some sort of canon announcement or something. Just because someone doesn't like your OTP or Waifu or whatever, no need to go Trojan on their ass. It's nice to be enthusiastic, but being overly so really can deter people from a series or even from the anime community as a whole- and that's never a good thing. There's other stuff but I'm too tired to write any more and they'll prolly be mentioned somewhere in the thread anyways. The stuff I like about the community includes- Meeting and communicating with like minded individuals, fan enthusiasm, the talent and creativity of a lot of people- demonstrated through doujinshi, fanart, fanfics etc. |

| So, you have been watching anime for less than a year and know all that? I applaud you for that. Speaking of dubs, I barely watched that much of them, but it is as you said, for me, they don't convey the feeling of the anime, thus ruining it. But I am fine with others watching them. |

| I love OP's tone. Thank you for this topic, it made me lol and sad at the same time. Do people who watch anime really judge those who don't? That just seems so... silly. That's exactly the same as people who judge those who DO watch anime, which makes it a very childish and futile attempt at "getting back" at them. |
