| I only know people who either know what it is and like it, or have no idea what anime is. |
 I have small reviews for almost ALL anime I've seen. Unlike any regular MAL page you've seen. Ever wondering what I've watched and what I think about it? Check my List out below! https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Iam_Jermaine |
| I hate an opinion. Even more when it's not mine. |
A stupid thread deserves a stupid answer!  |
| Hmmm...This time I was curious and clicked that link.I am disappointed about myself. About the topic.Since this is my principle I don't take someone serious when he/she says "your opinion is shit." |
| Whoever says that 'X should be banned' is talking out of their anus. |
| Oh my god....who fucking cares. Here's what I do care about....STOP CALLING IT A "Community". I hate this fucking word SOOOO much... Do people who watch movies get called the "Movie watching community"? Do people who eat pancakes get called the "Pancake community"? I hate the word because it denotes that EVERYONE that watches anime is in the same mindset, when it clearly couldn't be further from the truth. I'm sorry folks, I know some of you WANT to be in an "Anime community".....but not me. I watch anime, I watch movies, and I eat pancakes....I'm NOT in any "community"....I just do things. |

I take a different route, you see most so called anime haters, are just ignorant, so I just simply explain why anime came to being, and then I explain the genre structure to them(which is very easy to do, since It's almost identicle to the US's Movie, and live action series industry. The most common mistake people make, is they assume anime is handled like the US's Cartoon industry. I've had a lot of success dealing with such people by using this method, infact I can't even recall ever getting inot a argument, after such, infact most people I seem to find such very interesting. Using facts, is almost always a good way to shut down haters, especially if you explain such facts in a easy to understand way. |

I'm not so sure. Maybe you can say I'm part of the "MAL Community"....I think that would technically be accurate, especially since I post here quite a bit. The thing about the "Anime Community" is that anime is too broad to have such an umbrella term. There are so many different anime fans. Think about it like religion.....I know that sounds weird but hear me out... You can't say there is a "Christian Community" because Christianity is actually segregated into a LOT of smaller groups or "denominations". A Catholic would sure as hell not want a Protestant to be part of his "community". And BTW....I'm not saying all of this because I don't want a certain type of anime fan to be in my group or whatever. I just don't like that word and what it denotes. |
jc9622 said: You decided to be part of the "community" when you created an account in MAL. Like how I'm part of the "Movie Community" because I also engage in conversations in IMDB. That's how it works. My thing is that anime fans in general have little in common other than the fact that they watch anime. MAL is a representation of that, we argue about everything on here. Think of it this way....some people don't like the type of anime fan I am. After all, I like ecchi, I like a lot of female anime characters and a lot of the times I don't care too much for the story, as long as I'm entertained... Other people watch anime strictly for the story and don't care about the characters too much, they also refuse to watch ecchi because it doesn't suit their tastes. Then there's anime fans who only watch a certain type of genre like action or romance or comedy, etc... Then we have the "Casuals" "Elitists" and so on... I'm cool with that....like I said, there's a ton of different anime fans on here. |
| Lol... As long as he reads doujin and stuff like that. His existence is a light to me... |
JustALEX said: I've heard plenty of times people saying Christian community even though most of the times it implied a geographical zone like city but sometimes larger. Since protestants and catholics go to different churches they are not interacting with each other religiously most of the time.zal said: That would be true if you weren't posting here.

However I would compare the anime community with the gaming community since both largely developed online where geography doesn't really count. The thing is that you are part of MAL community but at the same time MAL is not isolated, it influences reddit and other anime related forums. There's no real unity but thanks to how easy is to communicate online these virtual communities are born. Moreover there's also this "us against them" mentality of anime fans vs non anime fans or anime haters that helped form this sense of community since anime is not yet a "normal" activity commonly recognized and accepted. Everyone watches films and if someone is really into it people can understand it better than who is into anime since watching anime is "strange", "different" or "unknown". |

| Oh no the anime culture is being hated on? Much disgust such sad very wow. Sarcasm aside, it's really not something to get worked up about, even if they're trying to shove an opinion down your throat. It's merely an opinion you strongly disagree with. |

| Anime isn't being banned op, calm down. |
 |
| Did you really have to make a second thread for this? Just calm down please. I know some people are absurdly self-righteous about hating anime but the key is to not care. |
| "I don't like anime" Sure, many of my friends dislike anime too. Chill "Anime is only for losers with no life and too much time on their hands." The same can be said for porn and pretty much any entertainment genre. I have more fun than you do, bro. |

Dude, its wrong in a lot of aspects... |
| As if I care about their opinions regarding my preference. |
| Anime will be banned on October 32nd 2016. |
 |
| I know, right?Like they say anime stupid but no.People are different from other people and some people don't think this. Anyway, seriously now, I'm worried when you say "ban anime for the wrong reasons". Are there any good reasons to ban anime? |
 |
| It's not wrong not to watch it, it's wrong to insult those who do watch. Was it ever a question? |

JustALEX said: Here's what I do care about....STOP CALLING IT A "Community". Was the opening post heavily edited as a result of your rant? To me it looks like you're the first one to say "community" in this thread. Indeed, this is probably this forum's biggest problem. Bowie said: What is this useless thread? Don't make a follow up to your previous thread please, no one cares unless you've learnt how to grammar in the next thread. Probably something about the previous thread having been deleted. At least, I couldn't find it this morning when I wanted to read it. |
| wha? i thought everyone knew liking anime is just an elaborate joke |

flannan said: JustALEX said: Here's what I do care about....STOP CALLING IT A "Community". Was the opening post heavily edited as a result of your rant? To me it looks like you're the first one to say "community" in this thread. It's not there anymore, but the OP put a link to a video... The video mentions the "Anime community" about 10 fucking times and how the "Anime community" is this and that and how the "anime community" suffers when certain people do things. It's beyond absurd and the very reason why there is NO SUCH THING as the "Anime community". There are people who watch anime....these people or "fans" have a diverse range of tastes and feelings about anime. To group ALL of them together is too much. Think about people who actively watch TV shows....would you group EVERYONE that watches TV shows together knowing how different they all really are? MAYBE you can have a specific community with a specific show. So you can have the "Game of Thrones community" or the "Breaking Bad community". But to say there is a "TV show community" seems weird to me....just like the "Anime community" seems weird to me. |
| Who says it should be banned? lol And even so, who cares? I mean isn't it just an egoist statement? Like that kid who says "work should be banned" lmao |

| Who the fuck wants to ban anime? Also most anime haters are anime fans. #deep |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Lol let them be. I want to ban Western media, but that's probably not happening. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Eeeh yeah sure, but embracing ignorance like that shouldn't really be okay tbh. |
| OP, you know that space bar you use after each word you type? You're meant to use it after punctuation too. Y'know, those little full stops and commas. |
  |
| I'm confused by this thread. So you start off by saying that it's okay to dislike anime. Then your post is about people who dislike anime want to ban anime. If you like something, you would not think it's okay for someone who dislikes it tries to get it banned. Your title is saying one thing and your post is contradicting your title. Also what kind of anime haters are you hanging out with? The majority off people I know don't like anime so they simply don't watch it. They sure as heck don't go out of their way to ban something they don't have to watch. But then again everyone's different. |
