"Reddit" is not a static concept.
LOGH was definitely old-reddit, but it isn't nu-reddit.


That was the most reddit answer I could have possibly received.

So what is the definition of nu-reddit? Is there some internet glossary or helpful chart I am missing out on?

Old reddit, but normier and even dumber.

Generally speaking, I don’t have opinions on an anime I haven’t seen, but sometimes I decide I won’t enjoy a show based on its synopsis or premise.

I’m not sure what you mean by a “Reddit” anime, but I assume you’re referring to anime like SAO, Tokyo Ghoul, or Eromanga Sensei. It’s understandable that you might dislike them. I felt the same way—but only after watching them—because they were so overhyped and spammed online.

I hate specific genres (like ecchi+harem), so I guess you could say I hate the anime that have that combination of genres. I hate seeing a guy chased by multiple women with (imo) pointless innuendos. So, yeah, I can hate the anime if I know that stuff takes place!

This is something I can't understand. Why would you hate an anime just because you see it everywhere? What if you thought about your favorite anime, and woke up and one day everyone was talking about it everywhere? Would you suddenly start to hate your favorite anime?

Why does it matter if people watch it dubbed?

It's called a "Pavlovian reaction", you'll see that I use the term "pavlod'd" a lot.
It wasn't as much about them being spammed, but rather each time they appeared being paired with a slightly annoying situation, every week, and with time that starts to accumulate and you associate those bad feelings with the object.

Also, for me, seeing people ONLY TALKING THE SAME OPINIONS ABOUT THE SAME THINGS annoys me so much about any subject, I keep thinking "Don't this people want to explore more? Something new?"
I got into more detail on Reddit:

This might come as ironic, but I don't like Reddit.
Not "Reddit, the website", but the "concept" of Reddit: Back when I was in middle-school, I felt that many of the community interactions on the internet weren't community interactions at all, but something closer to "rituals" where people just accepted a form of "forced consensus", and I disliked that.

Back then, every "BEST GAMES OF ALL TIME" list made by millennials had the same ones: FF7, OoT, Earthbound, Starfox 64, Chrono Trigger, etc (Mind you, this was around 2010-2014). No one discussed that, we just accepted it and repeated it if we wanted to be accepted as well.
But I couldn't be like that, I never could just be in one place talking about the same pre-approved things with the same pre-approved opinions, which was a philosophy that influenced all my life. One can think that others just do it "because they don't know anything else", but no, it's closer to a "love for the chains": Here in Brazil, people only talk about half a dozen Brazilian films, and they're always the same ones. So when a film critic made a top 10 list of films to introduce people to Brazilian cinema and it contained zero from that half a dozen, people flooded with comments why that half a dozen wasn't there — a pet that jumps right back into the hole after you finish rescuing it;

So what does it have to do with anime? Well, recently in some forums I was having a discussion with some people whether they had any anime they disliked without having watched, and I commented how I had a whole category of anime I considered "Reddit" (Without mentioning any titles) — titles that felt "safe", "TikTok-bait", "coworker-core", that were spammed a lot, but always the same scenes and the same takes — and was accused of "hating mainstream anime" and "avoiding popular things because they're popular".
