Own up to your porn or don't list it. Oh I see. And yeah, I agree. Nothing wrong with porn. No wait, that's probably the wrong way to put it. More like, hentai is anime too, it just has boobies and huge throbbing storylines. Either it is included among your anime, as anime, or you make your entire list private. This is the internet anyway, so I can't imagine why it should bother anyone that other random people from all around the world see your anime list with some hentai on it and think "THIS PERSON IS BAD NEWS. OMG WHAT A PERV EW". |
tehnominator said: BigSimo said: tehnominator said: Geez, sounds like a case of cowardice here to me. So what if you watch hentai? What will people think of you other than you're a human being? Who watched a hentai or two? Are people afraid of being tagged as perverts or sexual deviants? Then I wouldn't want to interact with someone who does the accusing, since it would mean they got a hard stick up their ass (that they're hiding, of course, since they wouldn't want to let anyone know about it). If you're like 14 and you have Bible Black on your list, then the only real problem with that is your age, not the fact that you watched it. And what's this with people saying that girls want to make their hentai lists private? I'm a girl. I don't hide the fact that I watch hentai nor do I want to or think it's necessary to do so. Most of the people who want to hide their hentai will probably grow up to be parents who tell their children that babies come from the cabbage patch. You're points are all very valid, and I agree with you...but I just want to know, what made you suddenly make a post in this year-old thread? I mean, don't get me wrong, any topic about hentai is a good topic in my eyes, but I'm just curious. edit: nevermind, sorry for questioning you. Someone created a new topic about it and I figured I'd post here instead of posting in the other one that would get locked/merged/whatever. Old =/= dead btw ;) Good point, and I agree. It's just I didn't realise there was another topic about this, so to me it looked as though you'd resurrected this topic out of the blue. :p |
| I've seen this suggestion before, and still back it 100% I have links to my list from a few sites, so I neglected, and eventually decided against adding hentai onto my list. Also would be really embarrasing if someone in your family also uses MAL or just happens to find out, espically when you may have a family that goes crazy over stuff like that |

If you don't people to see it on your list, don't list it. |
| People don't put their porn DVDs on full display in their house, they keep them hidden. Well, most sane people do anyway. It's not a case of cowardice at all. Some people just don't want their friends and family knowing what sick, twisted, disgusting things they've been watching. It's quite a private and personal subject which I'm sure not many people talk openly about. This is a very good suggestion, and implementing it would be well worth the effort to be quite frank. Chavez said: Also, people that wouldn't hide their Hentai would look weird compared to the ones that do hide it. Surely the ones who choose not to hide their hentai would have enough pride to not let that bother them. |
| Then they shouldn't list it. It's that simple. And to be frank, What is being suggested is censorship. |
loplop said: Then they shouldn't list it. It's that simple. And to be frank, What is being suggested is censorship. And censorship my friend is what has kept the world sane. This website is for keeping track of the anime you watch, so naturally people want to list everything they've seen. You wouldn't tell people who are worried at others seeing their porn DVDs not to buy them, would you? You just tell them to hide them. Can't you see how convenient and helpful being able to hide your hentai would be for many people? |

accela said: Though I think the best/easiest way for the MAL programmers to implement this would be to, rather than making a specific function for hiding just Hentai, create a checkbox for ALL animelist entries that allows the user to decide whether they want to show the entry to the public, or keep it private. That would be easiest from a programming standpoint, and it could possibly benefit more than just hentai viewers, too. For example, I have not watched Cowboy Bebop yet but I am often ashamed of this fact. ;p It would be nice to be able to have Cowboy Bebop on my "Plan to Watch" list, but that fact would be hidden from the general public viewing my list. Of course my name would on the Cowboy Bebop user stats page,which is fine, but more importantly, it's -not- visible on my list. That's just an example but that's one use I can think of off the top of my head (other than the hentai use). I like this suggestion by accela. I realize it would be a lot of work for xinil but they are trying to improve the site. I don't watch Hentai currently, or Yoai. I don't see anything worth watching in them... from what I can tell hentai are demeaning to women and have no good story lines and not much real romance. In my opinion. However, I have some reasons for not wanting people to see some of the anime's I drop. I don't care if they see some, but others... And the hold list and completed list. I'm not embarrassed about anything really. However. I would like to keep track of what I watch and hide some of it as well. I don't see myself ever watching anything that will embarrass me to much. But I've had problems in the past about some things I've watched/dropped/put on hold or even plan to watch and some people(Though not really much on MAL). But anyway, I support this idea. not really the original one, because I don't watch hentai and don't see myself watching it at all. That might change if I see something that sounds interesting enough. However, I would like to see this feature added. It's a good idea in my opinion. |

| Would be interesting. My list would likely double in size if I added all of the hentai I have watched on there. I just haven't really bothered. It's not like I watch any of them for plot or for the sake of watching them. I have my own agenda when I'm watching hentai. <.< |
| Although i personally have no problem with having hentai on my list i see how some people can feel uncomfortable. Is not a bad idea. I support this. |
| Why list it in the first place unless you want people to see it? Surely you don't watch SO much hentai that you need to keep track? |
 |
| Since about 90% of my manga list is hentai, I think we really need this. |
| I'm back. |
loplop said: No, it's not. It's privacy.What is being suggested is censorship. |
| If you're embarrassed, Don't add it. Plenty of people partake in a ritual hentai fapping without adding said hentai to their anime lists. From what I know based on personal experience, it doesn't take much effort to not do something. |
| there's nothing wrong with watching hentai, yuri or yaoi ): really, if they're your friends they wouldnt really care if you watch it or not ^^, whenever someone says ''omg, how can you watch that sick brownie'', it warms my heart (: |

Strife91 said: kei-clone said: Even though this isn't completely "necessary" as some people are saying, and even though there are "alternatives", I think a great number of users would benefit from this feature anyway, especially since we discourage making second accounts in our TOS. If this option was implemented, users can keep track of their hentai, and not face social awkwardness when showing off their animelist. I couldn't have said it better. I second that. Hentai counts as a series watched. Looking back, at times, I regret watching them. However, I cannot remove hentai items on my list; for that would be a lie. loplop said: And that's why Eastern attitudes about sex and sexuality has always been superior to Western thought about the subject. It's not a "forbidden" subject. Yet, it's OK for them to let 5th graders whore themselves out. Right? There's a thread in Gen. Disc. about that somewhere. |

loplop said: Then they shouldn't list it. It's that simple. And to be frank, What is being suggested is censorship. censorship is someone forcibly forbidding you from doing something. we want our own list being taken off from the public eyes. can't you see the difference ? You all talk like there's nothing wrong with hentai. yeah, right. How many of you who have "nothing wrong" with hentai put theirs DVD or doujin on display ? (or real life porn or magazines) ? - I didn't see it once in all the household I visited, so I suppose real life people are not as open-minded as some anonymous poster on a forum ... If you think of a comparison, some people will want to be naked inside their house, where's nobody can look at you, but very, very, very few people will want to be naked in front of strangers. For me, showing the porn you've watched is the same as running naked in the street. I don't know, maybe I'm shy, maybe I'm a coward, maybe I don't have the guts to support my fantasy, or whatever you can think of, but I believe pretty much everybody is the same when it comes to this field. Beside, seems to me you don't know how far hentai can get when it comes to perversion, it's not just a man screwing a woman, you can get pretty extreme stuff, try the 4 pages "canned peach" doujin for starter, and this is just entry-level. you can try looking for stuff by "executor", too, that's a little more extreme. ... Nobody in their sane mind can be happy about getting this kind of stuff in their list. Like it has been said, there's 2 solutions : either don't list it (then what the fuck is the utility of MAL ?), or make your list private (but then it's a little sad to not be able to show your "normal" anime/manga to your friends) On a last note, most of my friend, as myself, knows some titles of hentai "that don't sound like hentai". sure, everybody know of "Urotsukidoji", but when you're at a certain otaku level, you know about "swalowtail inn" or "night shift nurse" (I remember some enema and bondage scenes that are quite hard on the first season), or others titles that don't seem that sexually attractive at first. so the excuse "friends won't know if the title is not too offensive" won't work, too. I believe the "hide your porn" feature is already in use on dvdprofiler and some others sites. More than the "hide your porn" switch, the proposition of accela a while back for a "toggle public/private" on every item of your list seems quite appealing to me, it would be a great solution to this "hide hentai" thing, and could have a number of others uses, like keeping bugger off when you dropped an anime everybody else considered a masterpiece. Well, all that to say, I would like to have a "hide porn" switch on MAL, or better yet, something along the line of accela's proposition. |

I believe if this thread get enough people in it, we might be able to change Xinil's mind about doing the hard work. beside, I don't know, is Xinil the one and only programmer for the whole site ? I know a few sites to list manga, videogames or DVD - and even, at long last, a CD listing site. and each and every of them have some kind of forum where you can ask for new features. each feature is work to do, and I understand that there's no string attached, no fees demanded, so I'm just stating that, as some other member, I'd like to see this implemented. maybe when there's a sufficient number of members, things will change. maybe not, but we won't know unless we try :D Mod edit: Quoted deleted post. |

| I'd totally agree with this. I saw the Facebook app for MyAnimeList, but won't add it until i am able to hide the hentai on my list. I kinda don't want my friends, mom, sister, and other family to know about the hentai. The other anime, i don't care. My suggestion is just add an option in the Profile > My List Settings and have a checkbox, Dropbox, or something to allow any anime rating that's checked will hide from public view, but only viewable by you. Obviously Rx would be for this reason. Another simpler idea is just make 2 boxes that say: [ ] Check Box to Hide Hentai Anime on Anime List [ ] Check Box to Hide Hentai Manga on Manga List this might a better idea and more simple. I think that would be a much easier idea and (although i'm not a good computer programmer yet) I don't think it will take WAY too much code or be too hard, but that's just what I think. Well, that's my idea for this. I hope this idea goes through soon. I'd kinda want to keep track of the Hentai i've seen to keep a record what i HAVE seen but don't want to delete it from the list, and no i don't want to make a 2nd account for those who suggest that. It would be too much of a hassle from switching back and forth between accounts and it might be common to add the wrong anime to the wrong account list. |
| My suggestion - get Excel and list there. Put a password on the file. MAL has an export feature . Download it and list all your hentais. It'd take awhile if you've been watching a lot but once you're done; it's basically adding a title one at a time. Excel for anything you don't want seen. |

kuroshiroi said: Using Excel for your anime list, even if it's just for what you want to hide, defeats the purpose of MAL. How so? It's a problem of the users involved. I don't give a s**t who sees my list or their opinion of it or of me, but obviously many users do. They have given suggestions such as: 1. Creating another account - not a good idea according to kei-clone 2. Coding MAL anew for 'hidden' features - Xinil seems cool to the idea a. some users want hidden feature not just for hentai but for yaoi/yuri 3. Don't bother listing them at all - which defeats the purpose of having a complete personal list of anime. Until Xinil actually agrees to do the coding necessary for the 'hidden' feature, they can use Excel on their exported list. If, or when they reach the age where they don't care a hoot about people's opinion, they can always import the list to MAL, can't they? That's not possible (importing the list)? |
| If you can manage your hentai in Excel you can manage everything else in Excel, using both at the same time is counterproductive, so imo Excel is not an option. Unless your last question was rhetorical, this is the link you might be looking for: http://myanimelist.net/import.php I've never used it but I hear it's cool. |
| kuroshiroi It's just for the people who are touchy about the subject of hentai on their list but are quite into having a 'complete' list. They leave their hentai on Excel with all the other animes; and here on MAL, they have their anime list w/o the hentai/yuri/yaoi. This MAL list they can show to girl/boyfriends, family members and such (which is what a lot of users want to do) - the hentai remains in Excel. Anyway, it's just a suggestion until the feature they want gets implemented or they stop caring so much about people's opinion. I've never used that import feature too but it's great that it's there. Thanks for that link, btw. I have the export link (backups) not the import. |
| Odd that nobody said this alrdy but here it goes: Flag all your anime you don't want to show to the outside world as dropped. in your profile setting (Tab My list settings) you can hide that tab to the outside world. voilá, one sub-part that noone can see besides yourself. |
| It'd be nice if there was just as extra category called "invisible". Rather than "watching", "completed", "dropped", etc. that would remain invisible but could still add to your days, and stats. I have a boyfriend and friends in real life that use this site, and I'd be a bit shocked to see really nasty hentai all over their page. :/ Never would look at them the same way again. A lot of us know that people watch hentai, but sometimes ignorance is just pure bliss. The thing with putting it under dropped and hiding it on your list, is that your friend will find it if they really want to. You might as well put a big sign up on your desk hiding your porno stash saying "do not open." They'll want to look at it even more. Whenever people hide their lists, I tend to look at them anyways... out of curiosity. :/ Besides, there's this magical section that you can add to a link to make it visible. &status=4&order=0 |

| good suggestion. even though i have barley seen any hentai. this would be an nice feature |
Metty said: but it shouldn't be private, if anything it just shouldn't be visible to people under 18 and R+ shouldn't be visible to anyone under 17 and R rated anime should have a password for parents to enter in for their children to see those entries i agree. this is a good suggestion. i see hentai occasionally on this site when someone actually makes a review and/or recommendation for it. then it shows up on the front page. it's a little disturbing, and something i simply don't want to see. there should be an option to at least disable seeing hentai on this site. minors definitely shouldn't see it. i like anidb's setup were hentai is disabled by default. if you try to view hentai without enabling it in your options, it gives you a warning before you can proceed. i hope that MAL would implement something similar in the future. |

| Well I think if you wanna keep track of the hentais you watched, but you don't want that certain ppl would see them or be embarrassed about it, you can always creates another profile with only hentai anime entries, that only you know about or smth like that. |
