Look, I needed to go on my computer, write the first thing that came to mind, and post as a thread on the internet. Sounds like a really hard earned effort to me.
Typing takes alot of work.

It looks to me like @Erebus_Akeldama wants to parody these people.

I mean, a lot of anime fans are just really self-conscious or just close-minded in general. To a lot of people it seems to be more important what kind of image they project than genuinely liking anime.

That goes in both direction. People, who are scared to admit that they love shounen, although the demographic could be something you can easily ignore, and also people, who are scared to watch "elitist" anime, because they could like them.


Exactly.
People nowadays think that shounen is considered a bad genre because it's not considered "good" by the elitists' standards. They see it as basic, and these days the only time people see an anime as good is if it is unique
Which sucks because I love anime, shounen and all, and it sucks to see how tastes are being distributed simply do to the fact of liking an anime with the title "shounen" added to it.

Yes, to me the only taste I really judge (at least lowkey) is sexualized lolis and pedo protagonists and so on. No, I don't think that people are automatically into kids because of this or similar nasty stuff, but it's still weird.
Everything else is just about preferences and how you see fiction and your world, your personality, your philosophy etc. There is no bad taste.

Fun fact: For a really long time until I was 16, 17 or so, I believed that Inyuasha is a shoujo. I never questioned that either. To me, it was as clear as Sailor Moon being a shoujo lol.
If I didn't know any better, I would believe that The Case Study of Vanitas for example could be a shoujo as well.

What I want to say: There are more shounen that aren't so incredibly tropey than shounen that are very tropey and fulfill a lot of shounen cliches.
Also a lot of horror shounen like Attack on Titan or The Promised Neverland aren't so full of shounen tropes either.

On the other hand, I personally can't stand the type of shounen that are. Like Boku no Hero Academia and co. There is nothing "wrong" with liking them of course, but I cringe a lot at some tropes that it uses like a lot of training and tournament arcs, power scaling, lots of rivalries, and how much (I know, some male weebs might want to behead me right now haha) male gaze it uses to portray female characters and so on. I don't dislike sexy designs for female characters, but shounen like Hero Academia or Seven Deadly Sins have really juvenile fanservice imo. Lots of it.

Yep, it even says in my profile's personal opinions: Just because it's a shounen, doesn't make it automatically bad.
Sure there are definitely better shows out there than alot of shounen, but you like what you like and you shouldn't receive crap for liking things you enjoy (with few exceptions like pedophilia and stuff, but you get the point)

Nah, I've pretty much given up on algebra sinse I'm learning things that aren't going to apply to my life at this point. I learn a new thing every now and then with English, but I'm pretty sure the knowledge I have now will suffice for the following years of my life. I pretty much have a love-hate relationship with science sinse I think it can be the coolest thing (thanks to Dr. Stone) but oh my gosh I hate physics and I pretty just learn most important scientific things from Youtube and anime. At most I'll maybe use my knowledge of learning knowing how to calculate the speed by multiplying the mass and velocity together in real life I work as an engineer or something, but I probably ain't. As for my language courses, I would like to learn Japanese sinse I would like to get deployed to Japan one day, but I'm currently in Italy so I'm learning Italian and I've been losing interest, but at least I know how to order ice cream and say fuck off, which is pretty much all I need to know if I would want to survive in Italy. If you ever need tips on have to annoy Italians hit me up. I'm also taking essentials of communication but I pretty much know how to work my way around interacting with people, especially people who don't know how to spend their time with their lives and instead goes out of their was to insult people to the point where they need to try and leave at least one insulting message a day so they can feel better about themselves. I loooooooove messing with those kinds of people. Because they actually think they'll have a crack at me and think I'll actually get hurt from their messages. But nah, it's all just entertainment for me and oh my gosh you providing me with some good ass content. Domo arigato, Gesuyarō-san. ^~^ Would you like me to tell you about my life story next? ^_^
