| well I can see where you're coming from I personally just ignore it or refute it I also just know people are going to tell you your problem is that you're watching youtube videos |
 |
| Because most people are sheep who can't form their own opinions on things. Like when my little brother suddenly wants to buy a certain video game since his youtubers say it's a must buy, but he's young so it's understandable. Same thing with everything else. Kids praising Teen Titans Go so the rest must follow and watch, but deep down they should realize it's shit. But if they like it due to their own tastes and not others, then I'm fine with their opinion. |
 |
| I'm pretty sure that happens more when people review shows they didn't like. They wouldn't know what makes someone like the show since they didn't so they have to guess, and if their agenda is to make a show look bad they'll 'guess' reasons that in their eyes makes the fans also look bad. But I'd be surprised if you get this a lot too when people review shows they like. Those usually do not claim that everyone else enjoys it for exactly the same reasons, at least not nearly as aggressively as people claim it about shows/fandoms they dislike. At least in my experience, but I don't really watch a lot of youtube. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I don't even pay attention to any anime YouTuber reviews. The only ones I'll listen to would be TheAnimeMan and Misty Chronexia. But their reviews/opinion on a show doesn't really affect if I'm gonna watch it or not. I'm really starting to get annoyed by Glass Reflection's reviews. They kind of piss me off. |
 |
| Your mistake was giving your available free time to watch videos of someone giving their opinion. It's better to read reviews rather than stick with their pacing on the videos. |
 |
| It kind of reminds me of Digi's video on his little vlog channel that came out recently where he tries to talk about how he's not advocating any sort of viewpoint as much as just trying to let people know people who hold his viewpoints exist, in spite of just recently making a video telling people that they're not doing things by his standards and therefore are wrong. And that's putting aside the content on his channel that's doing things like people who didn't find KLK to possess superior visuals to be total idiots. Don't worry about what people think of a series too much, though. If the premise or something interests you then just go check it out and shoot their thoughts the finger, because people seek out different endgoals in what they watch. If their point of view doesn't help you achieve said goal, then it's entirely fine to dismiss it offhand. No matter how much they want to say you're an intolerant hatemonger who only promotes tastes similar to your own for it. Not every opinion will possess value to every type of person. |

| Honestly youtuber's just shove their opinions on people I used to watch some of them, but instead of making me like a show they ruined all the joy for me, I don't tell you don't watch it but don't listen to every bullshit they are saying. |
| Watching any anime youtuber is a waste of time to watch. Everything is opinionated. You're better off just giving an anime a chance without the opinion of others. |
| They're not telling the audience what they like specifically, they're just stating their own viewpoint on it and people are taking it as fact, when someone says something abrasive on the internet there's usually two reasons behind it; an honest opinion, or just pissing people off on purpose. I don't follow any anime YouTubers myself as the synopsis is enough to tell me whether I'm interested or not and I wouldn't trust a YouTube "anime reviewer" to give an unbiased review in the first place. |

That's a silly thing to say. Don't watch YouTube anime reviews; they are full of shit. I can't stand it when people say that they see a trend on YouTube and then write a thread based primarily on it. I am aware that you said that you mostly noticed this on youtube, but we all know YouTube is where this is infested. Not that I necessarily disagree with you, as your opinion could be different from what is suggested. However, I just can't take YouTube as a credit worthy area: the people on it are such a joke. |

| You will totally like Anime Name. It has very good plot and writing, the animation and sound is easily some of the best, and voice actors are like living the story in real time. |

That's exactly what I stated in my original comment. Cheers for the proof |

AyameTomoko said: RedInfinity said: So you are saying that you are quoting an uncredible source? That's exactly what I stated in my original comment. Cheers for the proof One aspect and point of this thread is actually complaining about the source. I'm saying something negative about the source. I'm not quoting YouTube and praising the site, but you're acting like I'm doing exactly that. What? When did I say that you were praising the site? You quoted an aspect of YouTube, quite clearly in your statement. You are saying something negative about the source, yet you say that Youtube is not credible in the first place. So how is anything you say credible if you are quoting a clearly unreliable source? No, the aspect of this thread is not complaining about the source, you are complaining about the content creators. These are two very different things. I think you need to understand better what I was trying to say in my opening statement. However, you call it silly. The funny thing is, is that you feel the exact same way without realising it. It's quite funny actually. |

| Well, people liking To love ru are probably unable to tell why they like it themselves so hes helping them a bit. |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| To Love Ru=Porn? Sounds like Demolition D. I like To Love Ru because it has a more likable girls than most harem sets. Also, try reading reviews or making one I think? |
 |
| Just move away from the screen and walk away. |

AyameTomoko said: I see this happen more on YouTube than other sites. An anime reviewer will tell you why YOU really like the show and why their opinion on the show represents basically everybody's. I've seen this happen with the show To Love Ru where basically the reviewer says that the only reason you'd ever like it is because it's basically porn and nothing else. I haven't even seen the anime, but this type of attitude already comes off as very condisending. I know my experience will be primarily different than yours or others, but don't tell me why I like a certain show. You're not me, stop acting like you are. I don't listen or care about Anime Reviewers opinion, their can generalize things but their opinions weight as much to one person and nothing more or less and the other way around :3 |
"No matter what painful things happens, even when it looks like you'll lose... when no one else in the world believes in you... when you don't even believe in yourself... I will believe in you!" |

Unfortunately as @Pullman touched upon, this is just human nature. It gets worse the lower the level of education the person is. Some have said: "Creativity is the highest form of intelligence", but this creativity is not limited to art. People can demonstrate creativity by simply being able to put themselves in another's shoes. Creativity can be about having an imagination. Creativity can be "thinking outside of the box". Creativity can be asking questions instead of always saying "ok". This is how we have ended up with the current global political climate. "I know how I feel; everyone does/should feel the same way about it as I do; if you don't feel this way, you are wrong/thinking about it wrong/have issues/are insane. There are limits of course, you can get too creative and end up wearing the tinfoil hats in your doomsday bunker, so everything in moderation. It is also a 2-way street, and that's where the relationship of all of the above relates to the OP. As the consumer of the youtube videos, be thoughtful and recognize that other viewpoints exist and 90% of the world is full of dumb people and choose to be "ok" with not agreeing and let them keep telling their peers how they feel about things. If you're smart you'll be above the influence of being told how to feel. |

It's quite funny actually. The credibility of the source has nothing to do with the credibility of the thread because I'm not using it in a way to back up any external argument. My argument should hurt the credibility of the source rather than uphold it. You're arguing over nothing. Just stop. That's not very nice to tell someone to stop over a passive argument. No offence was meant. All I think is that when someone credits a source that's uncredible, it carries it along with the statement. For example, if you say that Hitler was a good man from a tabloid article, yet you disagree with the article, then your comment was completely unnecessary. I know it's a silly example, but you get the point. |
