| the less popular an anime is then there are usually less vocal haters |
| imo Hitoribocchi, violet Evergarden & Tensei slime |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| thinking more of this now i think those slice of life anime or even iyashikei(? or healing anime) usually have no controversy in them so less haters |

Not necessarily in the case of our prior discussion on it, but rather that some people can go a bit overboard on the whole "deeper meaning" thing to the point of condescension, which is not okay. That said, most fans of that series don't act that way, but I've encountered a few rather.. vocal.. individuals who take it upon themselves to challenge the "intelligence" of people who didn't like it. I'll stand up for the artistic merit of the series, but at the end of the day, people are going to like what they like, and dislike what they don't. To belittle someone for not wanting a philosophy lesson when they watch anime is just ridiculous. |

I personally hated FLCL and much prefer the mindless action of TTGL and KLK, but even those two shows are full of underlying meanings and worthy of analysis as well. The thing I love about Imaishi's works in general is that they have just as much face-value appeal as they do symbolism; you can approach them either way and still find enjoyment in them regardless. But to undermine the opinion of someone who solely liked the show for the action and start a debate about aspects they just don't care about it pretty silly. xD |

deg said: But to undermine the opinion of someone who solely liked the show for the action and start a debate about aspects they just don't care about it pretty silly. xD and yep those are just elitism at its finest Exactly. This kind of behavior is where the term elitist originated from. I admit that most of my favorite shows (Aria, PPtA, Mononoke, Erin, etc.) fall in line with "textbook elitist" tastes, but frankly I don't understand the need to shame others for not liking those kinds of shows. We're all different people. I've always appreciated artsy titles (even before having gotten into anime), so it's only natural that I gravitate towards those kinds of shows, but I would be a fool to not realize that other people are allowed to have different preferences and that there's absolutely nothing wrong with that... >_> |

| I mean, I find the general harem&ecchi fandom to be quite great internally for the vast majority of them, but part of me feels like a lot would be ready to fight that idea :> Egh, not a fan of this way of categorizing. The way a fandom is perceived is probably mostly aligned with how well somebody is fitting into it on a general level moreso than whether or not it's actually something people would necessarily agree is a kind fandom. If you align well with what a lot of the fandom wants to do, then you're going to have an easier time fitting in and having a good time with positive interactions. If you don't, then, well, the place will very often seem a lot less welcoming in spite of itself. So nah, I'll pass on actually trying to promote one as a kinder place than another. It's going to just generally be easier to see a place where you can fit in easier as nicer, and a place where you feel alienated as being colder, and that's going to generally operate on a scale falling somewhere between I believe would play a primary role in how an opinion of a fandom is developed. And I'm sure somebody is ready to charge at me with some personal story about how they often disagree with people in (x) fandom but get along great anyway, but more the fundamental dissonance on what the interpretation and interaction with the series in question is being built on. Series that attract larger quantities of people who are into critical thinking and that sort of discussion will still generally be far more capable of housing non-toxic disagreements and debates than ones who don't end up pulling that audience. Or like, I know a few people who got put off by the amount of yuri shipping in the Hibiki Euphonium fandom pretty strongly, because it felt like it was just forced mischaracterization of characters they were liking for the basis of shipping, and that there was no indication of such in the series. If they were into that sort of thing and didn't feel alienated from it on the baseline, they'd probably have a lot better time with a fandom where such things are so prominent rather than leaving with a negative view of it. If you like sharing lewd pics and waifu stuff and being a degenerate, chances are fandoms like TLR will be a fucking blast compared to other fandoms you could interact with. If you're not into these things, though, not so much, it'll likely just end up feeling like a fish-out-of-water scenario and it'll feel a lot less welcoming than it normally could. So on and so forth, whatever gets carved by how the majority of the occupants end up favoring interacting with the series in question. And of course, it's always going to be a case by case basis with the individuals or group of individuals you end up interacting with, some people will be tolerant enough of fundamental differing from a perceived consensus to where it isn't a problem, and others will be anal enough to try to pick a heated fight with you over minutiae, but I feel that goes without saying - it's just more reliant on the individual in question than what seems to be the general ebb and flow of things. |

| tbh I've been in many fandoms people considere some of the worst out there (bnha, undertale, smash bros) but I never had toxic interactions with anyone, and had tons of fun actually. Sure you get to see a lot of shit but there are all kinds of people in all fandoms and I think you cant put everyone in the same box ... there are nice people and toxic people everywhere so it's mostly about identifying with who you should stay or step away from... |

operasinger said: "The anime community" is actually more like a bunch of different smaller fandoms whose main link is that there are many people in common because they have a common interest in Japanese cartoons. The shows themselves are such a diverse lot that trying to see the fandom as one whole thing means painting with stupidly broad brushstrokes anyway.I always see people calling that and this fandom toxic and more. So I was just curious if there are any anime fandom that is actually nice. I only heard that D. Gray Man fans are nice, none other than that. Personally I think the whole anime community is toxic tho Knowing this, you can simply pick out the smaller fandoms, i.e. ones for more obscure shows. They tend to be less toxic, since there's less reason for toxicity -- less people to disagree with, and if you're a fan of an unpopular show, generally you don't want to shoo away the handful of other people who like it. And besides there's less gratification to be found in flinging hot takes at thin air. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| most Anime has nice fandom. Just more popular ones have more cancer posts that are more noticeable out of "normal/nice" fans. |
 |
| JoJo fandom - honestly if you are into it the fandom is heaven. |
 |
| @operasinger it is fun if you get the reference. But I'm pretty sure you also have some anime memes you enjoy, no? On the other hand I agree that the fandom can be annoying to anyone who hasn't seen the anime. I can relate to that before getting into JOJO. |

Join us broda ^_^ Heard the anime is very complicated to understand, but will watch it and join you guys soon 👍 I hope you enjoy it :D Yeah it is complicated and hard to understand, my advice for you, and what also helped me as well, is to watch analysis videos on every episode of it, or to just rewatch it. Of course not everything will be solved, but you will have a much better understanding of the Anime and it's plot. |

Though this is all anecdotal everyone is going to have a few bad eggs the bigger and more popular the show the higher likelihood. As for one I personally had very little issue with the Gundam fanbase was incredibly helpful when I was trying to get into UC and answered any questions i had regarding it. |

| Every fandom for everything has great people and great asshats. It's just a law. Lol |
  |
| Houseki no Kuni fandom is extremely chill (we're just suffering together lmaoooo) |
 |
| My experience with the Yuru camp fandom is it's very chill and just like seeing people smile. Also, not anime, but Celeste's fandom is one of the most supportive I've ever seen. I don't think I've ever seen a Celeste fan be judgmental or anything. |
