pinkarray said: I don't approve of violence and mean characters and I want to get peoples' opinions on why they prefer violence in general movies, tv shows, and video games. Heck, I even like the non-violent innocent stuff like some of Disney's stuff, too, they're still good without the violence. Let me explain. I approve of violence. Violence is the only answer to the world's problems. Why? Because bad people will stop being bad only when they're dead. (But make sure to destroy their brain so that they cannot be revived) Proof? The world is full of people who are talking, who have university degrees in talking, and they have all the power. Yet the world is full of injustice. These talkers always make laws that forbid violence. Because they have all the power, and use it to oppress people like me. There is only one way to make them stop. To kill them, and take their power. I approve of violence, and love seeing it in anime. pinkarray said: Well, I have been writing stories since I was 6 years old, no violence or mean behaviors and nobody had a problem with them. Can you give me examples of more gentle movies you dislike because of no violence or mean characters? I dislike Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry, because the bad people in the final arc were not killed and not even sent to prison. They are sure to start doing bad things again whenever they get a chance. I dislike Love Lab, because the teacher got away with interfering with children's romantic lives, and didn't even change her mind in the end. Abuse of authority should be punished by horrible death. Omkar_Nagwade said: Because we humans are foolish creatures who yearn for violence and conflict. Be it on screen or in real life, almost everyone has violent thoughts from time to time. Maybe that's the reason people like violence and mean characters. (Going off topic but, maybe this is the reason World Peace is an impossible thing) World peace is pretty easy. You just have to get rid of two things: 1) Oppression and general unfairness. 2) People in power who wage wars to draw people's attention away from oppression and their own stupidity. Human violent tendencies can be easily sublimated in video games, sports and other safe conflicts. |

| Because otherwise would be boring and unreal. While violence and mean characters isn´t mandatory to tell a good story it helps |

I already do, but I'd rather I didnt.Don't you want those kind of people in your life? pinkarray said: you were bullied werent you? probably still are. the violence too close to real life so you want your escapism in anime to be all rainbows and ponies and sparkles and fairies eh?I was 6 writing stories about people losing items like a grocery shopping list, can't you cut me some slack?

I hope you're just playing around because it's not like I completely oblivious to wrestling, I just don't watch much tv or video games of it. I do kind of know it, but I'm more into playing baseball or basketball or something. I'm talking like I'm American because I am american! I don't know what you mean by sjw, but it seems in my case that it's someone who doesn't like anything they perceive as injustice and I don't have a problem with that. I am not like Hitler or ISIS or whatever, I don't want to kill anybody. Well, actually, I did have a bad trauma in life with schools. I have been bullied before, but it was more about problems with socialization I needed because I am autistic. Insulting me because of a story I made when I probably just started writing seems like you guys are expecting me to write like an expert or a 12-year-old. Of course it's not going to be that complex, it wasn't a novel or anything, just a short story I'd write to pass the time. By the way, I'm not saying nobody's got to make mistakes nor have their dark sides and there should be no villain, antagonist, conflict or whatever. Grow a pair so that you can kick me in it? Dude....please.... this is not a game. Why are you being so mean? You need to learn that not everyone has the same opinion as you and you can do you, I do me. You can like different things, just don't attack other people for trying to right a wrong or for saying violence should stop. You need to work on not attacking people for some crazy reason. |

| Because they're cool. It's fun to watch. |

I am not like Hitler or ISIS or whatever, I don't want to kill anybody. SJW (in theory) - somebody who spends a lot of time promoting social justice (that is, rights of women, minorities, disabled people and anybody else who is oppressed). Some interpretations claim these people are all talk and no action. SJW (in practice) - anybody who holds a political position to the left of the speaker. By the way, I am like Hitler or ISIS or whatever. It's just that there is no extremist organization that supports my views, so I can't join it and kill people. And that makes me even more unhappy, because I know there is nobody fighting for my rights and politicians oppress me freely. pinkarray said: Well, actually, I did have a bad trauma in life with schools. I have been bullied before, but it was more about problems with socialization I needed because I am autistic. But these problems could be solved with violence! Just beat the bullies up, tear out their hearts, and smash their brains to be sure. Or you can use civilized person's variant of violence - write an accusatory paper and have them sent to prison. (for some reason, the russian word "донос" does not have a good translation to English. Maybe because americans do not see it as a form of violence) |
| Because violence is an easy way of having conflict and conflict of some kind is integral to a decent story. |
| -Because violence creates conflict. -Because violence leads to cool action scenes. -Because violence may result in explosions, and explosions are awesome. It's honestly not that complicated. As for mean characters, they're good for setting up conflict. They create contrast with the nice guys. because having more variety in characters is better (as well as more realistic) than have everyone always be nice and calm to each other. |
| Well if the character is violent for no apparent reason then I dislike them but if they're doing it behind a reasonable understandable reason then I like them for it. Not all violent characters are bad and not all non-violent characters are good. |
 yeehaw |
| Because you can't see that happen in real life alot. Thats probably why people find it interesting. |
| Well it is hard to explain really. The short answer is that we as people are not that peacefull yet not that Bloodthirsty I guess. As for bratty characters...... kinda the same answers. Even though most of us don't want to grab a gun irl, we kinda do that in games if enables us. It is all just personal preferences I guess. |
| I'm gonna take a crack at this. A few reasons violent series appeal to people. Of course let's go ahead and acknowledge the edgy teenager in the room who's obsessed with anything to contradict society. But there are various other reasons, people like seeing things in media that they don't get to see in their dull everyday lives, whether it be action, a heartgripping romance, or just the funniest sequence of events. People like seeing spectacles. People like seeing conflict and competition, whether this be a hero fighting a villain, a sports match, or any other journey. Violence can add a tone of risk and tension that makes every action feel that much more important. People like seeing shitty people have bad things happen to them. Violence is a way to convey your dedication to your ideals when words won't work. In storytelling, death and injury can add an element of unpredictability if used well. Mean characters exist because mean people exist, and people generally like to see characters as believably people, even if they are larger than life. Why people like them, varies on the person, series, and situation. |

| Because they are more realistic and relateable unlike those pussies like Shinji. |

But movies can still be believable without having Shinji Poopikari-like characters and mean/bratty characters. They can still be believable with nice people because nice people exist. |

But if all movies/shows/games had only nice people it'd become unrealistic, now I'm not defending Eva specifically, just in general the world is full of assholes and whiners so our media should match. |

| Because it's something that you don't see everyday. To see violence is to be a man |
 |
| Watching the mean, evil people get the shit beat out of them is fun because 9 times out of 10 they've done something that warrants it; that's why |
zumac said: Because they are more realistic and relateable unlike those pussies like Shinji. You say so, but Shinji is the guy who can use violence when the push comes to shove. For all his flaws, he is the guy who saved the world. At least until he was betrayed by NERV and turned to goo like everybody else. AxBattler said: Maneki-Mew said: But I actually like "light to middle grey" characters, who aren't the stereotype of the shiny white knight. A friend had promised me that I will love that guy from Akatsuki no Yona. We will see. I don't know the anime yet. XD Good recommendation in my opinion. I'd say middle grey for that one. Make it "obviously white" for me. Just don't take away violence from them. There is peace at the end of fighting. Nanoha shows how it can be done. |
| Violent characters often seem strong enough to go against society's conventions and pave their own way, not caring who they hurt. It's the physical manifestion of Ubermensch, strength not as value-creating inside you but as forcing it on the world. Wouldn't it be awesome if we could just take what we wanted? |

Yarahime said: violence in fiction doesn't hurt anybody so theres no harm in liking them. there are anime with mostly good cast or/and good mc and there are anime with mostly evil cast or/and evil mc. Both can be fun to watch if done right. all kinds of people exist in real life, from kindest to most evil and everything inbetween. so a character can be whatever in that spectrum. oh and just wondering, what does NGE stand for? It stands for Neon Genesis Evangelion. |

| because people are masochists ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

| I'm not a big fan of extreme violence.If a character is really well written I don't care if he/she is mean.Still mean characters are really badass sometimes and a lot of people like strong characters. |
 I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate. ll X ll |
spuukiebuugi said: Villains (if done correctly and not horribly executed, or rife with a neverending swell of potential) are more interesting than goody goods. To some extent. I mean, anti heroes exist too. I don't think villains have to be more interesting. They're in generally more interesting since they have an inner drive and create the conflict, whereas the hero mostly solves it. He's a more reacting subject, thus less interesting. |
