| You hear a lot about "toxic" fandoms for a bunch of anime, but I wonder if the anime itself has an effect on whether or not its community is toxic. After all, it's hard to imagine a calm cute girl anime having an extremely toxic community (Tell me if there is one). I think it's possible that there's a certain type of anime that attracts the most toxic people for some reason, but I can't describe what it is exactly. |
 |
| Sure, but some have less toxic fans than others. Gintama has a pretty chill fandom and it has a decent popularity |
 |
| Yes........................... |
 |
| Probably but yeah dEeRp PSyChOLoGicAL shows, or the ones that you neeeeeeeddddd a BrEIn, have the most loud and annoying ones, specially the PeAAAKkkk fiction ones. |
| All anime has a toxic side, whether it's a small portion of the fandom or a big portion of the fandom, all fandoms, anime or not, are toxic. Something I've learned from being on the internet for 5 years. All fandoms have a toxic side. |
 |
| Everything and anything can have a toxic community. |
 |
| I don't know exactly what you mean by "cute girl anime" but if you just mean moe shows, then yes those people can act toxic by getting triggered that you think the show is boring/pointless and don't like that genre. I don't know exactly how common this is but I've definitely seen it. |

| If everyone can hate an Anime like Ex arm then there's for sure an Anime that everyone can love. |
| I can assure you there is next to no toxicity in the Aria community, but yeah I do believe there is anime fan groups that aren’t toxic out there, unless you count those outliers that exist in every fandom personally I just believe the more popular a series is the more likely it is to be toxic, granted this theory isn’t foolproof because there is some shows that have pretty chill fans despite being popular |

| Typically the more popular the community the more toxic it is. |
   |
| Any anime community can be toxic. And big NEW fandom are usually more toxic than older ones. Netflix anime fandoms tend to be most toxic cause they have more new and young fans. If something is likely to be in someone’s first 100 shows, it is probably more toxic. Fandom in general stokes the fires of obsession which tends to be bad for health. |
The anime community in a nutshell.  |
| Any anime that has a big fanbase will have toxic fans in it. Genre doesn't matter. |
 |
| any anime can have toxic fanatics, just look at your random cute girls show Amanchu, some fans started a ferocious shipping war, insults was casual business when s2 aired, some even called the author a "anti lesbian" and "shotacon" because they did not accept that two girls could be friends, seriously, Teko x Pikari should not exist wtf. I agree that the 10 year old boy is weird but all manga is weird. |

zzshcl said: I'm not sure why you mean by "a cute anime girl", since most fandoms I know are from the anime, not the characters But imo there are two types of toxic fandoms One, the popular animes, usually shonen/seinen like AOT fandom, SAO fandom among others, that complain about EVERYTHING. And then we have the fandoms full of fujoshis of non-bl anime. Basically they transform their friendship/bromance into a relationship full of doujin and fanarts of the different ships. If you say their OTP is not canon they can give a lecture of a whole week. Right now, Moriarty and SK8 are popular, but some other popular ones are haikyuu, BNHA, Yuri on ice etc etc etc Well... Yuri on Ice it is canon.... and straight guy I know was watching SK8 and calling it gay. Also if you call Shippers fujoshi they will have your head on a plate. I know from experience that they don’t consider themselves the same as me. People who only get into the sweet and unlabled end hate fujoshi. But when among others who consume canon stuff watching shows like this is a lot of fun. And they tend to ship and let ship and know it isn’t canon either. The shippers are something else The most toxic group for me... since I am a fujoshi, is the shounen shippers. But the actual most toxic in not a large fandom is the anti-SJW injured at the smallest criticism like rn that is : https://myanimelist.net/anime/42361/Ijiranaide_Nagatoro-san look at the threads. Last season that was redo the Healer https://myanimelist.net/anime/40750/Kaifuku_Jutsushi_no_Yarinaoshi When a fandom is so toxic I see it and I am not even in that fandom. |

| "it's hard to imagine a calm cute girl anime having an extremely toxic community" The fandom of Yuru Camp was literally that when the first season aired...but for some reason they switched to "normal" for its second season. In the past I hand toxic encounters with Aggressive Retsuko fans too. |
| It's not about genre. It's about popularity |
 |
| almost any anime can have a toxic community, unless it's some extremely obscure show, i guess. |
 |
| yeah especially those who cry when people say light is better than lelouch |
| Every community has toxic people, not just in anime communities lol fluffycow17 said: After all, it's hard to imagine a calm cute girl anime having an extremely toxic community (Tell me if there is one) And not all are cute girl animes but there are quite toxic fanbases for idol animes, which aim to be cute |

| If a show is having a toxic fanbase it's normal people the people in that community is living in a close bubble and can't break free from it. They are making up their own logic and tries to fight everyone that says something "bad" about their love. And I would say that Shounen has the most toxic fanbase, we have the FMA guys hiding in the dark and acting like children, they lost their favorite toy, so now no one can have a toy. We have the attack on titan guys, making up their own logic about what happend at the last manga chapter. They West is currently searchign after name signatures to get the author to change the ending. Dragonball fanbase is sitting with Goku as the top strongest character in Anime history and will literally kill you if you says something else. We have the Boku No Hero fandom, trying to force male character intorelationship, they were even sending death threats to voice actors and more of the staff working on the serie. As something happend in the Anime they didn't like. They are still after 3 years posting on Twitter that they will never forgive Bones for "what they have done to some of the character design" We have the SAO guys that is protecting their Anime with made up logic about how the plotarmor and holes make sense. Normal when I see cancer on the Internet it's the Shounen guys that are literally living inside a bubble and can't break free from it. And thanks to this their community starts becoming cancer. People were calling Eren one of the best written character ever, but after one chapter most of the people of fanbase changed their mind and now are on a rampage on Internet about what they will do about the ending and how Eren is one of the worst written characters ever. I do still waiting on the death threats, as that's how this Anime community is working. They are only thinking about feeding their own EGO so they can look in the mirror and feel proud over themself. If you want to find a fanbase that is not toxic, you need to go into more mature shows like Nodame, Nana and Erin. Where the fanbase is small so even if their a toxic person in their he will disspear in the mist of the nice once. But in my view, ofc the shounen is the worst one and they are every where acting arogant and can't accept logic and facts. |

| Yes. It’s common knowledge that Almost every anime has a toxic community. Doesn’t matter If the anime is wholesome, |
| Yes ofcourse, over-zealous fanboys are toxic by nature, they just go with the ear covering and name calling against any critique. Same applies for obnoxious haters, they cant see any positive argument or respect well explained opinion. So both are opposite side of the same coin of toxicity, usually it happens with popular anime. The fanboys and the haters of the same popular show complete each other. People often blame the fanboys, but a good portion of the fanboys are just a reaction to the obnoxious haters just as much as the haters are a reaction to the over-zealous fanboys. |
| Yes, most of them literally do, as a matter of fact. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| More fans = more opportunities for toxic fans Certain series are less likely to be toxic based on their content. Iyashikei anime is not going to have as many as something like AoT. When the shows aren't super mainstream and are so chill and relaxed and that's why people love them, there just isn't much to be toxic about. So shows like Aria, Non Non Biyori, Yuru Camp, K-On etc. People might not like them but I really don't see people bashing them or having to defend them fervently. Most of it is competition between communities of similar anime. I have seen people heavily debating which is better etc but not really going full toxic craziness often. I think older long running anime like Gintama, JoJo and OP also tend to be chill, I think their main fanbases are older in age now so you just don't see it as often. |
| Yes what the anime is about will never predict if the community is toxic or not. All communities are toxic and upcoming communities are bound to be toxic anyone saying otherwise is biased or ignorant. |
 |
| Well, Attack on titan has totally toxic community. |
 |
| Yes. Most of the anime have equally toxic communities, it's just that the most popular ones have the most toxic members so you can find them anywhere online. |
| Any anime with main characters that are evil and/or villians, if a large portion of the fans unironically likes those characters, that's quite a setup for a toxic fanbase. |
A møøse once bit my sister... |
| I'd probably say there will always be a level of toxicity with any anime even if its a series that is as wholesome as Laid Back Camp where fans will start the "TEAM RIN" "TEAM NADESHIKO" TEAM AOI" "TEAM CHIAKI" |
 |
| AOT fandom is having a heated gamer moment 24/7 |

This Fanbase is particularly fun to watch since it isn’t as predictable as battle shounen. I'm sure you wanted this to either watch the show or sit with me eating popcorn watching the fanbase flip out for no reason. Previous entries in the saga include Goblin Slayer and Shield Hero (sadly not as toxic as the others do to high score), and ummm that one harem anime that was taken off Funimation. Forgot what it was called. It’s pretty fun watching them. |

Gonna be honest, both, I live for the spectacle wherever it may be ;), Love watching the SJW and the anti going at each other, both complain about each other views while being basically the same, two sides of the same coin truly. Goblin slayer was just whatever after first episode and shield-hero should've went all the way down the rabbit whole, it turn out just as a disappointment. Like if you are going to be edgy at least be sharp all the way. |

I love when they blame feminists and there aren’t even women being critical in the comments. *laughs* It happens more than you think. The SJW are more likely to attack other liberals. |
