| I often hear a complaint that many questions in this subforum get asked over and over, to the annoyance of people who have been here for more than a week. I'd like to make a list of such questions and their answers. Please use this thread to contribute questions that you feel are frequently asked, or to contribute answers that you feel would satisfy the questioners immediately. Please don't provide answers that will make the questioner want to argue against them immediately - it will defeat the purpose of this thread. Please do provide answers to the questions already answered, and feel free to add to existing answers. I will keep this list updated with your contributions. Maybe the mods will pin the list at the top. If not, you can at least link to it anytime instead of answering. |

| Eh. How about the am I doing my list wrong, is it too high/too low threads. Also, while this is a noble effort. It kinda ruins some of the liveliness of this subforum. |
| Wouldn't it be better if you linked one of those ( a good/old/official one ) threads with each of these questions? And also include the Loli questions too. So everyone can be clear on the fact that loli ≠ pedo |

The_Nico said: You should also do questions about how anime is culturally different to their own thought processes. If you need help, I can think of a few. Do you mean questions like "why the protagonist doesn't have sex with any of the girls?". Yes, please offer some, they will be useful. |
| You dont have to answer the question. You can link the question to the tread. But if you want to answer the question, its fine too. |

| Damn, pretty good FAQ in the OP actually. |

I added some recent threads, but if you can find some older and more epic ones, that would be good. BlueBalls said: Damn, pretty good FAQ in the OP actually. Thank you. |
| Might as well add in a little question to your list explaining how the forum search function works on this site. Lots of pictures and cool details. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| Is shounen a genre? No it's a demographic. |

DrGeroCreation said: Is shounen a genre? No it's a demographic. Add shojou/seinen/josei to this. Also making a FAQ for this will probably kill this subforum and I don't want to go to casual discussion to get AIDS. |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
Triple-A said: You can also add the Anti-Elitist threads in here as well, and how people have the wrong preconception of the terms Elitist and Casual. Elitist: someone who have seen lots of anime. Casual: someone who have seen a modest number of anime. People who think that they have better taste than you are idiots, because everyone has his own preference in anime.

Pretty sure that's not it. elitist: someone who thinks others taste in anime are shit casual: someone who praises select anime/genre too much |
| Why are otakus/weeaboos hated?/Is being one bad? threads and their variations maybe I notice quite a lot of them |
| The FAQ actually isn't bad. Good job, OP. |

| @flannan , for some reason I don't think the example given with the loli question goes quite right. Some proper example would be like these: And you might want to take that quote from Cyrus here. Also it is nowhere stated that loli lovers here = lolicons. Definition of lolis: Childlike character with innocent characteristics. May or may not be actually of child age, and very often isn't. We celebrates the awesomeness of lolis. This DOES NOT mean we're pedophiles (a horribly common misconception). It is a sad thing in today's society that loving "children" is automatically linked to pedophilia...but instead here we simply appreciate the beauty of childhood innocence, kinda like Catcher in the Rye. |

Thank you for the links and the quote, I added them. Also I added a note in the definition of lolis that we're talking about apparent age. |
| Don't forget to add all them elitist related questions to the list |

| Kudos for making efforts to offer solutions. I would like however topics about the industry and financial data to be either linked only or remain in their respective boards. Instead, discussing industry basic terms, trivia, or forum/jargon might be more helpful in this board. For example, the fact that users read manga on-line doesn't make a manga series "a web comic" (unless it is specifically published as a web comic). |
| now if only this can be pinned somewhere on the forums where people can see it so we can stop seeing the same questions asked everyday some of these questions have probably been asked 15+ times in a one month period.. its getting quite annoying lol |

Lots of pictures and cool details. Yes please. Probably increase the font. That might help. That belongs in the suggestions thread imo.. If you ask me all those 'what got you into anime','best OST/OP/ED' & 'what was your first anime?' questions need to go. You can't include that in your FAQ, I don't think.. |
| How about: Does ______ (art/plot/popularity/fan-base)affect your anime rating? Answer: Yes. |

But still how are you gonna answer those in an FAQ? "Elitist suck because they have no lives but they need something to feel better about themselves"? I'm not saying that this FAQ shouldn't happen but it faces a whole lot of challenges and it won't be that easy.. |
| This seems well intentioned and all, but I don't think the 'questions' posed so far really need dictated answers. |

| Also another concern is that how can you be so sure that new users will always click on this FAQ before posting on AD? I mean you do have that 'Identifying this anime/character' threads but that doesn't stop new users from posting such threads.. |
|
| So, this isn't a discussion topic, and it's more of a topic that would need to be sticky. I already asked a higher-up mod and they said we can't sticky more threads or the rules and identification thread will be even less visible than they already are (And people still miss these nowadays). Not only this, but if the OP loses interest in this later on, only the mods can edit the OP, and we're busy as it is. For the most things, people can already use the search function. People who create threads that're duplicates obviously never used the search function. I can find topics 100% of the time on topics that people make, yet they tell me the same old story. You're free to make a blog post or use your profile about me for this and use a link in your signature to show it, but we can't allow a thread of it. Thread Locked |
