| Today I want to see what you, MAL people, are thinking about this kind of people: Do you think this comment is very mature and intelligent? Judging by the 'likes' amount on the comment we can see that there are many people who support this type of view. However, if you ask me, I see them as a bunch of sheep who need their eyes opened. In my opinion, this type of view on the world is very narrow and childish. Anyhow, I want to hear what YOU, people, are thinking about someone who write comments such as this? Obviously, this one, particular comment could be just someone trolling but let's suppose they're not. We all know there are dozens of people out there who are like this. What do you think of them? What's your opinion on someone who judges people by their taste? Are you yourself that type of guy? Do you think watching certain anime makes you a better person? How I view this, is, that people choose certain anime based on their personality and not the other way around. Anime is just a hobby. It does not form a personality and there are as many personalities as there are people. When you are judging a person by the anime he watches, you're basically judging his personality. You're trying to change him. So my question is: Why would bother trying to change a person you don't even know? And should you, really? Discuss. |
| watching too much anime makes you even more a duller person |
FunkyNano said: I think it's okay to formulate an opinion on someone based on what they like to a certain extent, but it should never be personal What video was the comment from? Yes, I agree. There are way too many sheep nowadays. I admire people who have their own opinions on what they like/dislike but when you start to use those as a way to boast yourself or insult someone.. then it's a red button for me. |
| i am obviously not a sheep, anime fans who is a sheep are the cancer of community and should be change |

| Elitism is fine. Most "elites" just want to rustle your jimmies with what they say. The world is not a nice place and you'll come across all kinds of people that includes nice elites and the not so nice ones. Is mindless bandwagoning elitism immature? Maybe! Is elitism as a whole immature? Maybe! You need to look at the other side of the coin too. Is fanboyism (the opposite of elitism, for lack of a better word) immature? Joms said: watching too much anime makes you even more a duller person I reckon that this is bait. |
Something witty that makes you think I'm funny Defeating a sandwich only makes it tastier |
| I take most anime elitism people like that as joking. Sure, sometimes they can be a bit too much, but I doubt they're 100% serious lol. |
 |
| I believe that some qualities in an anime can be objectively good or bad. However, comments like these usually don't put any thought into that. They just say it's bad and say you're bad for liking it. |
| Everything about anime and the anime community are immature. It's not just limited to Elitism ^_^ |
 |
| Elitism as a whole isn't immature, but that comment clearly was. |
| Being a mean person is always bad. But there's nothing wrong with elitism |
 |
| What do I think about people who wish cancer on others because they enjoy Japanese cartoons. On the comment section of YouTube videos.. I'm sure this thread will be an equally balanced, constructive debate, with good arguments on both sides. All you're doing is preaching to choir, actually I think the majority of people on this earth view wishing death on people's for minor things BAD. Your question is a good one, for reasons that have nothing to do with anime at all. Sometimes, the way people think is simply different. Sometimes, it doesn't hurt to try to change people's mind about something, you shouldn't force them or anything unless you're crazy. Fine line between having a discussion and forcefully stuffing your opinions about insignificant things on them. Unless they're like...nazi's or something. lol |

| yeah but im immature af who cares maturity is overrated |
| What part of the anime community isn't immature lol but that comment is plain stupid. |
| You can like whatever the shit you want but shitting on someone for liking something else is retarded. NO MATTER WHAT. |
| There's a fine line between a little good natured ribbing and just being a dick. This guy/girl is the latter. |
 |
| That comment is just dumb. MeghaReads said: However that is not what an elitist is, that's a critic.It's just so much better if someone's actually being a true elitist in pulling apart the show to show why it's "not that great" in a 100% constructive view point. xRhai said: Now you are being immature, no one deserves cancer just for a stupid comment on the internet. That guy needs to rethink his pointless and meaningless life and deserve cancer for that comment. |

| That kind of comment is actually immature. why not ask adult people about that comment wheter it is immature or not. Heck! just ask you teacher! i bet they are gonna say it's immature. it's up to people for what they will like and what they will watch. and it's very rude and unmanner to insult the fanbase like that. let's respect other's people opinion okay ? You hate the anime ? okay....but please don't insult the fanbase. |
 |
Honestly if someone said that to me my response would be... "Gather the rest of dragon balls and lets wish for this guy to love Dragon Ball" |

thegreatnathyboy said: That comment may be sarcastic but I'll treat it as if it was serious. In which case, who cares about the anime tastes of some random person. The only times I do that are as jokes to make fun of my friends but how could you genuinely think that someone deserves cancer based on the Chinese cartoons they watch. Even if it's not sarcastic, a decent portion of those thumbs up probably assumes it is anyway. |

| if you TRULY think people are losers or w/e for having a specific taste, then yes, you're an asshole if you're just kidding, its honestly whatever, the only problem is just because you're kidding doesn't mean your comments aren't going to affect others. don't forget anime is watched by very young impressionable people and its pretty damn obvious how insecure people on here are look at how many threads we've had asking "its it ok?" "is it bad if?" "should i?" "will i be judged if?" people are TERRIFIED of what others think, so they jump on trains and shit to try to fit in somewhere and feel better about themselves there are people who won't add certain anime to their lists, won't admit they've watched certain anime, avoid talking to others about anime, all because theyre afraid of what others will think that is the problem i have even when people are just kidding..... im not some SWJ/PC person whos gonna say you can't troll or even that you can't be an elitist. im just saying just know you're affecting someone out there in a negative way, and don't be surprised when people like me retaliate against you your right to talk shit means or complain means another persons right to talk shit or complain about you |

| I dislike people who think popular or mainstream anime are bad I mean taste is subjective but saying something is bad because it is popular is dumb There is a reason why it is popular and well liked! |
 |
| Someone has to fill that role in this world. By the way, what character is that person using as avatar? Kinda cute |
| This salad is salty favored |
| That comment pretty much justify why anime fans deserve to be look down by the general mass and why people think anime fans are social stigma. Anime fan complain when non anime fan judge them for liking anime and see anime fan as social stigma. However, elitist are actually doing the same thing too when they judge other anime fans for liking anime they don't like. People who try to seek superiority in taste in anime are just childlish. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| I could go on and on about the pros and cons of this discussion. However, to make it simple, I will just answer the question: Do you think anime elitism is immature? YES |
 |
| lol whenever we have threads like these you never see those people show up in these threads, because they know they will get expose. F***ing cowards. lol |
| Saying you're better then someone because of what you watch vs what they watch is immature and childish. Saying that you don't like the shows that person liked isn't immature. Thinking that certain shows are much better shows then others also isn't immature.

| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| I'm not immature, you are immature. |
| What's your opinion on someone who judges people by their taste? judge people by anime taste is the stupid things. when i found that comment, i will consider it as the troll Are you yourself that type of guy? dunno, seems like I have ever post something like that for troll. I don't remember. :P Do you think watching certain anime makes you a better person? NO. anime is just for entertainment. instead, spend your whole time to watch anime only make you getting worse |
| Not necessarily Self proclaimed anime elitist hunters, however? Absolutely |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| It's ok to have a "strong" opinion abt anime, it's not ok to insult anyone tho, esp because of their "taste"... thats just obviously childish and nasty. |

Elitists aren't the majority of anime fans though. But they're the loudest. For eg there is alot of sao fans, but you would never realise that since all you hear is the vocal minority calling it a bad series. |
| Obviously the guy in the picture is a being dumb, and obviously the majority of people know better than to actually base personality on how someone enjoys DBZ. However, ^^^^ I understand it's a dick thing to think the type of anime you watch makes you appear smart or dumber (or whatever the fuck), but some of these elitist witch hunts are fucking worse than the "elitist" being complained about. I mean come on, I've seen people with low mean scores or "elitist favorites" get fucking shaded out of nowhere, even when they don't say shit about any actual person. |

| Yes, it's immature. I just can't stand persons who bash on someone for things they like or don't like. And I avoid such circles of people. I'm not saying that all elitists are like that, but lots of elitists I've met are, and that's why I don't like them in general. Then again, one of my best friends is somewhat an elitist. So, there are no rules, really. Gesu- said: You can like whatever the shit you want but shitting on someone for liking something else is retarded. NO MATTER WHAT. Of course. |
 I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine. |
Sereneflower said: I dislike people who think popular or mainstream anime are bad I mean taste is subjective but saying something is bad because it is popular is dumb There is a reason why it is popular and well liked! And that reason has to do with the taste of the majority, not precisely the quality of the show. You're right to say that saying something is bad because it's popular is dumb though. |
 It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.But does the heart have the right perspective? |
Not to forget this too.. The thing about elitist hunters is that they attack people and they don't need provocation to do so. It's like as soon as they see the 'big 6' in someones favorites they'll just go out on an all out attack.. At least elitists don't fucking attack people. I've seen some retarded people on the forums *cough* tragedydesu *cough* |
| it will just getting worse for the otakus and some peoples who obsessed to anime...if they read this topic... Well for me. Every time you watch anime you getting bored and bored because of the animation, old jokes, and many more. and by taste. I don't care about that. It just Immature and full of Delusions... Note: I'm just negative. |
