I hate anti-piracy anime fans, pro-censorship anime fans and anime fans who think they're better than me in any way.
Please tell me what kind of anime fans frustrate you. But also keep the conversation civil.

Anti piracy fans,dub haters and elitists who think their opinion/taste is superior just because they've watched/enjoyed "deep"obscure shows that are philosophy heavy in terms of themes and plot

Also changing waifu every new anime season is cringe.

One of the biggest red flags is people who watch anime and nothing else. Not even live-action Japanese shows and movies. Not even learning about real East Asian history. It almost inevitably reveals someone with a very limited worldview who can't analyze fiction worth shit. Like, all the people complaining about Westernization when Japanese animation was directly inspired by American animation in the first place and many shows regularly invoke European fantasy tropes. That's not even getting into their political views.

I laugh when someone tries to bully others for not having watched 1000 anime series as if that was a mark of real intelligence rather than a desperate attempt to justify one's own commitment to a consumerist sunk cost fallacy. Like, what does that even mean? Anime isn't a genre in itself, and there are so many shows with nothing in common. I don't know anyone that tries to bully others for not having watched 1000 movies.

Pro-censorship are not anime fans. The only reason you would want to censor anime is if your goal is to destroy it. Calling them a fan is insane.

People who judge how a person is irl based on their anime tastes, people who hate others for liking something they don't (and vice versa), people who overuse the term "objectively" for fictional media (some cases exist where the term is valid, but they're mostly extreme ones, like "Frieren is better than Boku no Pico").

Also, while I don't necessarily "hate" anyone for this, vehement dub haters are annoying. Showing distaste over dubs is fine, but saying over-dramatic stuff like "Listening to dubs makes me wanna vomit", "Ear bleeding voice acting", etc. is just cringe. Exaggerations should also have limits.

Ironically, the supposed elitists that people complain about are mostly battle shounen fans rather than people who like old and/or obscure anime. You would be hard pressed to find an "elitist"in the forums who would look down on others just because he is a fan of LOGH or some similar anime, whereas fans of certain battle shounen anime often like bashing other shows and look down on their fans .

generally "elitist" is usually either a classic "getting mad at a guy I made up", or means people who watch basically anything other than popular shounen.

I don't hate any fans, just find some very annoying. Mostly the really obsessive, shove it down your throats fans. But not far off are the ones who care way too much how other consume something, which go hand in hand with that first group a lot of the time. And I use the word "consume" rather than "watch", because it annoys me equally through all mediums. I'll never get why it bothers anyone how someone else enjoys something, as if it affects how they enjoy the thing. It doesn't. If someone else likes playing a game on easy, not your business. If someone prefers dubs over subs, not your business. If someone is only interested in the more casual or popular stuff, not your business. So simple, yet for some reason, so hard to grasp for some.

I can't stand the anime fans that think every mainstream anime of the season is the best of all the time. Every season they have a new favourite anime. Last season was solo leveling, and this season is To Be Hero x. And in case you don't like them, they say you try so hard to be different with a crying emoji in the end.

The kinds of anime "fans" I hate the most are those who bullied us for liking it in the past. Once it was no longer popular to bully people for liking anime, they claimed that they were in the fandom all along. However, they still hate anime, and prove it by being pro-censorship and everything.

The consumer type who likes everything thrown at them, they doesn't think on thier own, goes by the hype and manupulates ratings , beheaves like a herd of sheeps and tags someone elitist just beucase that person judge the medium like high art and put thoughts into his ratings..

And yea, theres another type who rates everything 1-4/10 and thinks they are some kind of deities by just being overly harsh...

And yea, The obvious ones like Pro-Censorship (Supporting to Censor any type of Art is vile) and Dub Haters

The types of fans I dislike the most are the elitists, the people who make couple ships in anime that don't even deal with romance or the ones who make gay couples in anime that have nothing to do with it and especially the guys who give absolutely terrible ratings to everything they watch, so I always say: "you should dedicate yourself to consuming other media because maybe anime isn't your thing." Oh and also the ones who give everything a 10.

About the people who give everything a bad rating, a while ago I saw a guy who had his own rating system that was like he gave a 1 to everything he didn't like and a 2 to what he did like XD

People who argue in bad faith not allowing serious discussion by pointing any critique of tropes as being inherently "pro-censorship" and resort to insulting people for that. Tourist has to be the most stupid fucking insult imaginable and is just thrown around willy nilly even towards people who are big fans of Japanese animation solely because they don't like certain tropes.
