Sterps said: They're in hiding waiting till the next season comes out. next season is almost here tho and i still dont see them :o But Where have you been the past few days? I personally don't care, but I'm not going to deny that they're aren't plenty of elitists. The real problem though, are the "anti-elitists". Since I became an active member on the forums, I've never really seen any elitists randomly going around trashing shows for no reason. It's usually always someone who makes a thread regarding topic that will no doubt attract elitists/wanna be elitists because they think it's cool. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1598603 |

| theres was a recent thread on an elitist who hated rezero but loved Erased and shouwa genroku it seems the general definition of elitist has shifted to the more accurate description of anyone who feels their opinions are more impactful than others' |

| Hottest Take Ever, fite me: Fairy Tail is better than Seiya, Bungou Stray and Hitman Reborn |
| Well to sum it up, anyone who thinks their taste in anime is better is an elitist. That's how simple the definition is! As long as you keep sprouting non-sense that this Person-X has shit taste for liking Anime-Z, then you're no different. I wonder why we're making this too complicated. lol |

| Pretty sure elitism is just a frame of mind. You know like how other people think they have the best taste(which is impossible because I do). |

| Anti-elitists are just idiots who don't get that most "elitists" are trolls or are simply miscategorised by them. Kinda like anti-fascists nowadays. "<Insert name here> is a fascists! It's OK to punch a Nazi." Then they go off calling everyone a fascist. |

Asking about where are the "elitists" and yet you were just in a thread with some. pls point to me a NON shit post in that thread that actually hates modern anime for being MODERN and not cause their taste dont align with what is new. Please do note that anybody who espouses an "Elitist" viewpoint is elitist. Regardless of how serious that person is. When I see somebody killing people, I will not ask whether they're doing it ironically. Also, "elitist" is exactly about people's taste not aligning with anything except a few works that suck up to elitists. A stereotypical elitist should like a modern show like Occultic;Nine just because it's hard to understand and inaccessible. |

Idk how serious you are but comparing 4 of the most popular and acclaimed shows to some ecchi who 10k people have seen? I never see some of my favorites recommended either and its totally understandable, as some series/movies just arent that popular. A much more valid example would be comparing how often one of the shows you listed and Naruto/Bleach/Fairy Tail get recommended. |

| If someone believes anime quality is objective then it means they're an elitist. If you make another thread asking people if they think anime quality is objective I bet you'll find loads of elitists. Elitist just means "someone who believes quality is determined by the opinions of the elite who have better taste than the rest and generally consider themselves to be one of these people". Casuals can be elitists just as long as they believe. |

A much more valid example would be comparing how often one of the shows you listed and Naruto/Bleach/Fairy Tail get recommended. What I meant to say was that it's simply fact that some things are more popular than other things, and that that by itself isn't really as important as how people interpret this fact to suit whatever opinion they espouse or whatever point they want to make. (Also I'd hesitate to call Kiddy Grade "ecchi" as it really doesn't have much more fanservice than a lot of things, and focusing on that basically misses what the story is about. So I've always disagreed with MAL's label there. But whatever. Forcing people to watch stuff one likes isn't something I want to do anyway.) |

| @flannan I repent! I'm definitely not an elitist; I don't like, or even acknowledge, LOGTH, Berserk, or Monster. It's impossible. |

| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| @GlennMagusHARVEY I just meant that when measuring the fandoms preferences by the number of recommendations, Kiddy Grade is no match for something like Cowboy Bebop/Angel Beats/Death Note as theyre overwhelmingly more popular so Naruto and Bleach would be better examples of even more popular series getting recommended less. |

I'm definitely not an elitist; I don't even like LOGTH, Berserk, or Monster. It's impossible. Honestly it's probably neutral or good depending on what I'm in the mood for. I certainly don't hate these series for them being popular (though the amount to which LOGTH gets bandied around as The Show That People With Good Taste Always Praise can get rather excessive at times). Besides, of the ones I've seen, some I really like while others I found to fall flat for me. Some people may say it's bad because I'm not getting exposure to more styles of anime, but then that leads to the question of "why do you watch anime?" to which my answer is "because I enjoy it", not "because I need to study it for class" or something. HamburgerSpike said: Ah I see what you mean. That's probably a more rigorous to look at it since it controls for base popularity.@GlennMagusHARVEY I just meant that when measuring the fandoms preferences by the number of recommendations, Kiddy Grade is no match for something like Cowboy Bebop/Angel Beats/Death Note as its overwhelmingly more popular so Naruto and Bleach would be better examples of even more popular series getting recommended less. I was thinking of including SAO, AOT, or Guilty Crown as examples but I figured they might be confusing for my point. But actually they could serve yours. |

It's never "bad;" though my recommendation is to ignore anything regarding taste and such, as long as you're able to find anime that you enjoy watching. When you're no longer able to find such anime then, I believe that, is the time to broaden your anime horizons, and get a taste for the most famous and acclaimed anime of each genre. Assuming you still want to watch anime. |
