Abitubers play a major part in the hate/culture and it's because of them that some popular anime like Sword Art online,Promised neverland S2,etc get so hated.

Let's look at some of the examples.

Sword Art Online first started getting hate when a Youtuber named Digibro made a hate video about it and before he made the video everyone loved Sword Art Online but after the video everyone starts hating it.

I don't know about Tokyo Ghoul if someone can send me the sauce?

Black clover hate trend was started by Gigguk when he posted a hate video on Black clover everyone hated Black clover even more after the video but when he posts an appreciation video of Black clover the haters seem to be in a minority for some reason.

Now this is the most recent one-Promised neverland s2 even this is a victim of the recent hate trend because of Anitubers
Before all the anitubers started making hate videos on it people didn't really seem to hate it that much as compared to now.

It is really surprising how a lot of people hate Demon slayer even though no one actually posted a hate video about it.Demon slayer is one exception.

Overall:It really annoys me how most of the people form their opinion based on the opinions of Anitubers and never actually form their own opinion.

Me personally I don't care about the hate the anime gets.If I like it I like it.That's about it.

I take cancel culture seriously in absolutely everything, not just anime.

What you mentioned above, however, is not cancel culture. It's people not being able to form/verbalize their own opinion, so they borrow someone else's.

None of those examples are "cancel culture". Those are just people giving their opinions.

You see before those hate videos of anitubers of Promised neverland s2 started popping up not many people actually cared about how they changed things but after those videos started popping up this anime is getting a lot of hate.

That one isn't even a proper example, because we've been warning people that season 2 was going to suck balls for an extremely long time.

Dig around, see if we didn't tell you that the manga had lost all source of direction. The Promised Neverland is what happens when editors don't do their jobs.

I really don't think all this starts because of anytubers

Anitubers make videos on popular topics .
Not the other way arround

The promised neverland getting hate for cutting out 60% of the story and half of the finale was bound to happen no matter what

Tokyo ghoul getting hate for absolutely butchering a good manga was bound to happen no matter what

People who haven't read the manga of both notice how weird the anime is in its execution

It is not the fault of the anitubers that their viewers take their opinion as the absolute truth.

I usually like to see for myself before I form an opinion but would agree that peer pressure and the power of suggestion can influence how the community reacts to different anime.

That being said, I haven't seen any anitubers recently but Black Clover is crap I tried it and no thanks its not for me.

Promised Neverland s2, I liked the first season but this season was kinda sad to watch and the last episode totally tanked my score 4/10.

The others you mentioned I liked, except like most after season 1 I stopped liking Tokyo Ghoul.

Anitubers just provide a megaphone for the particular views they espouse, do they represent the community and follow it's trends and report on them, or does the community follow them and base their trends based on the anitibers opinions, you can argue both.

Go to college and study sociology if you want to understand more about whether media, in any form, reflects the cultural norms and values of society or a particular community, or does it influence and dictate what those norms and values will be through it's editorial input and dialogue.

You simply notice the haters when it's brought to your attention through a negative video.

I don't like that people take the opinions of anitubers as law for sure. However, what I dislike more is when people act like it is the anitubers fault that their fans are sheep who can't formulate their own opinions.

If The Anime Man say he doesn't like SAO for example and his fans go to repeat that opinion he isn't to blame for that. It is the fault of whatever schmuck who decided to be a follower and just hate SAO because The Anime Man said it was bad.

Most of these anitubers say to formulate your own opinion on the shows they talk about and don't just take their word for it. So it isn't on them if their fans are too dumb to get that message.

Its annoying Not Because its from an Anituber, Its annoying because then I know it isn't really their idea, its just them going off on what somebody else has said.
^ This point is only valid when its more than just "I hate this show" or "I love this show" but when explaining why you just source their videos

Then sometimes they say its 100% valid because a popular person said it.

I use them as entertainment, I don't take anything they say seriously but I still enjoy them.

I don't follow anitubers too much to let them affect my opinions on shows. But I think most people's hate towards certain anime can be based on their own personal biases when it comes to the shows they watch.

To be honest with you, I feel more annoyed when anitubers don't use their influence to talk about good airing anime. Instead, they talk about what's trending, no matter if it's good or bad.

I don't remember the last time I watched a video about anime, so I just don't care about this anymore.

Yes because any form of criticism from an anituber will result in a domino effect of hate towards an anime. These people are big influencers, when they throw content or attack other content, it ruins the community experience and divides the fanbase. Even if they say their "opinions don't matter", they do matter which pisses me off sometimes.

You missed the point of the topic. It's not people having their own opinions about anime that the op has a problem with, the problem the op has is those that come to the conclusion that an anime is bad just because their favourite Youtuber or streamer says its bad.

No I think you're just wrong. I hated SAO before I even watched a single video about it. I hate Tokyo Ghoul anime because I read the manga, and I even think the manga falls off towards the end. I still haven't watched a single YouTube video about it. And season 2 of The Promised Neverland is just indefensibly shitty. No one needs a video to know that. Demon Slayer? I don't hate it.

Either way, AniTubers can also provide a new angle to look at an anime from

Didn't miss anything

I will make a little example to get you to understand

"Do you hate cats?" No, I don't hate cats. "Do you hate cats that are black?" No, I answered that before by saying that I don't hate cats

It is just anime, opinions about animes are a non issue. If people based their opinions of how big the average tits of the MC are I wouldnt care either

They provide new perspective that's for sure but some fans instead of stating their original opinion just change their opinions after seeing the videos.

What an great way to sum up exactly my thoughts. And even just in one sentence.

But on a longer more detailed note, I think people are willing to forgive too much for the lacking sides of many shows. In that sense I do like to think that since some anitubers bring some light to the series that deserve more critique than they get, but do I want people to accept these arguments youtubers provide with absolutely no questions? Abslutely not. BUT I also believe that if an person entirely bases of their views and opinions on something someone said, it really starts to shine if you just talk to them. If it is clear that the believes they hold onto are not their, or well-reasoned, you don't have to take them seriously.

Also, every single opinion we hold has some influence beyond us, and people adapt points. That is good and "natural" human behavior and should not be looked down upon, unless we are talking about ridiculous degrees of imitating other people.

Not really, it might not be their opinion, but it's still an opinion, besides most of the time people borrow or take ideas/opinions of other people, whether they are anitubers or just friends.

And stiull hearing other people opinions and thinking or using them is a great thing imo, not all the times but sometimes is.
And to be clear I'm not talking about the "memes" that some people call opinions, hating on Sword Art Online because it was popular was a meme, not an opinion.

About TPN being hated, well, the first episodes were kinda of similar to what happened in the manga, but as soon as they started going original and missing the character "Hugo" and others, most of the people, including myself, went ape shit saying the season was a shit, and I'm pretty sure that not all of us have watched any anituber video to talk like this.

No, I don't think you are right at all.

Pretty sure people already have opinions on hate/love but that gets reinforced when they watch anitubers who are popular and share similar opinions as them.

A good example of this is TPN S2 as you stated, people hated it even before anitubers reported on it, after the reporting people watching anitubers just had their opinions reinforced.

Demon Slayer is another good example, people have opinions of not liking DS, and that's not because of anitubers, people can form their opinions.

And SAO and TG are hated for being bad, it's not because of anitubers, because I've watched both and didn't think either of them were very impressive.

For one, I gotta say that TPN 2 is a mix of anitubers hating it and pretty much people trashing it for how bad it got to become, and I admit that I'm part of that since you can't drop a series like that from the heights of its prequel season.

But when it comes to people basing off their opinions and thoughts from what their favorite anituber say, I say BS to that. Prime examples I can point at is TheAn1meman and Gigguk, my favorites out of the bunch. I really love watching their videos and (ofc) they're the first anitubers I listened to when I was starting out last year. But over time, as my knowledge on anime got more deeper and as I broadened my taste over the months, I find it really hard to agree to all of their opinions.

I don't want to be a puppet to their own influence all the times. I listen to what they say, compare it to my pre-existing opinions, trash on whatever they might be wrong at, and as I end the video, minutes and hours after that I just move on. What I'm trying to point at is that, a) Have your own opinions on various titles and series, b) It's okay to listen and agree with your aniTuber, and c) Do not agree and follow every opinion of theirs, cause you're gonna make yourself feel bad and bland of yourself later on.

Okay maybe people do do this but I think it’s a little dumb to assume all the hate these series are getting is soley because of anitubers “brainwashing” them. I have problems with some of the shows that I’ve watched that get hate.
anitubers actually make good points on why they’re bad so it’s likely that other people knoticed that before them or they now realize that after watching anituber reviews/analysis. I think it’s a far stretch to say all the hate certain shows get is soley because of anitubers especially when anitubers themselves usually have a list of reasons on why the show is bad.
I think it’s more of you/others not acknowledging the problems and why people would potentially not like it.
Unless someone says they hate an anime and haven’t watched it then it’s okay to be skeptical otherwise....

All I know is that spanish anitubers comunnity is toxic af. You have anitubers saying "Shingeki is NOT a masterpiece" and then another answers with a 1 hour lenght video explaining why that's not true. 90% of the community is like that, and not to mention the pretentious ones. So yeah, it kinda annoys me.

Yet there are a few with good analysis and videos.

A lot of people actually do this. They say an anime is good or bad without even watching it.

So yeah... if they have no opinions from themselves then they shouldn't parrot someone's else opinion like it's a known fact.

No, I'm more annoyed at people who diss others opinion just because they happened to align with what Anitubers said.

I'm okay if they have a negative opinion about an anime. I might even like them if they know certain things better than me.
what I don't like is many of them make fun of the viewers/fans of an anime to make a grandstanding. 'I can say anything as long as I make people laugh', that's what most of them do.

I didn't know TPN Season 2's hate was because of any Anitubers. From my understanding the hate against it is because the Goldy Pond Arc was cut out entirely which upset a lot of the manga readers. Also the slideshow at the very end was like a slap in the face to manga readers and anime-only watchers alike. The list of grievances goes on but I don't want to write a wall of text about it.
