Imagine stanning an anime to the point of downvoting anything threatening its #1 position

The thread that inspired this was probably a troll thread but doesn't change the fact plenty of people downvote the shit out of anything to keep FMA B at the top. I mean its one of my favorites but its pathetic to obsess this much over a show being ranked #1 on a website. Like does it actually fucking matter? Feels like a cult. Sure i'm somewhat happy its at the top since I like it but if it were to lose its position I would actually give 0 fucks. Its just like an "oh okay thats cool" thing for it being at the top for me. Can't imagine caring this much about something so insignificant.

It's been discussed before quiet frequently but yeah can't do much about it, nor do i care much though. It's kinda sad that people are "defending" their "favourite" shows in such a way just cause they want it to stay at the top of a relatively niche website. Anyway i polled together the 1/10 score % for any of the current "top 10" anime on the site incase anyone is intrested cause i kinda wanted to see for myself.

1/10 = 2.0% (39347 votes) - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - 9.11
1/10 = 4.2% (3441 votes) - Bleach: TYBW - 9.10
1/10 = 2.5% (9359 votes) - Kaguya-sama: LiW S3 - 9.09
1/10 = 0.7% (8752 votes) - Steins;Gate - 9.08
1/10 = 3.4% (7638 votes) - Gintama° - 9.07
1/10 = 0.8% (11324 votes) - Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 2 - 9.06
1/10 = 1.9% (4071 votes) - Gintama' - 9.05
1/10 = 5.2% (2937 votes)- Gintama: The Final - 9.05
1/10 = 1.8% (2785 votes) - Gintama': Enchousen - 9.04
1/10 = 0.4% (6186 votes) - Hunter x Hunter (2011) - 9.04

I mean say whatever u want about these shows really, but at the end of the day whilst i may not like LiW or Bleach in general and even after watching them. I wouldn't ever rate them a 1/10 they aren't a traumatic experience.

FMAB isn't my favourite, but I am fine with it being on top compared to other nonsense sequels like Bleach that almost nobody rates except the fans.

The percentage of 1/10 votes is pretty bad metric to show review bombing because popular shows will seem less affected. FMAB's 2% has more 1/10 votes (39k) than any other you mentioned for eample Gintama final has under 3k even if it shows as 5.2% since the show is less popular.

Otherwise you are completely right about the fact that none of the 1/10 ratings are deserved.

Has anyone ever stopped to consider that it's not this elusive boogeyman of "FMA:B fans" (a title which I highly doubt has enough of a dedicated fanbase to act as rabid over something as inconsequential as MAL ratings anyways), and instead is just an average brigade of trolls that review bombs anything that shoots up the ratings quickly, especially bigger name battle shonen that are known to have fans locked in constant flame wars (i.e CSM, Bleach, JJK, KnY, and any other battle shonen that's exploded in popularity recently)? 

No?

Ok then.

Could be a mix of both. The review bombs have a tendency of occurring once a show gets the same score or higher it seems.

To be fair, Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen has around 305,000 members. And FMAB has over 3 million members. This arc of Bleach just came out recently, so it only makes sense that as more people watch it and form their opinions upon the anime, not everyone is going to be upvoting it a 9 or a 10

Your post is gonna get locked. Bleach twerkers probably did the same. Also Kaguya twerkers,Gintama twerkers, Death note twerkers. If you think about it, everyone is just twerking aimlessly for their favorite show on this website.

Also, it's always weird to see one arc out of a fairly low-rated series rated so highly. It's a huge outlier from the series as a whole and that kind of thing is almost always a result of immense hype. I probably won't watch Bleach in a few years so I can't give my verdict on whether that hype is justified or not.

How long have you been on this site? This topic has already been discussed several times and the admins have introduced a system that, according to their assurances, does not allow such ratings to affect the overall rating.

The Alchemist has simply been on this list for the longest time and moreover, he has participated in various rating wars for the longest time. The number of negative ratings he really has little meaning in the context.

Haven't been active on here since like 2021 probably. How can there be a system that prevents people from giving shows a 1/10?

Are the 1/10s not considered into the ranking of an anime?

Again. A system that does not allow you to influence the rating by random 1/10 put by new accounts. Don't just give ratings like that.

Okay? People can still just give the 1/10s on their legit accounts. Even if this somehow completely doesn't allow for the rating to be affected that wasn't the point of the thread. The point was to shit on the people who do it.

Cats see demons and I'm done pretending they don't. What do you think they are looking at when they stare at the abyss, when staring at the corner of the room? There's something threatening us, something we can't to see. Why do you think cats have 9 Lives? They have them to protect the likes of you and me, they fight the demons around us at night and sometimes lose their lives, but they have 9 so they can protect you until their last life is consumed. Thank you.

It's more like people just don't want or think new anime which ends up reaching the #1 spot rather than caring so much to keep FMAB up there. No one is too worried if FMAB stays up there or not since there has been times iirc when it wasn't #1 for sometime while Gintama was #1 unless I'm remembering it wrong.

Most new anime don't deserve the #1 spot, let alone sequels which returned after years when people already forgot about Bleach.

Not the point. The point is people wonder why this is still a thing, threads like this is part of the reason why. People are free to poke fun at it as much as they want, I think its hilarious personally, but all this does is feed the cycle.
