Definitely Tiktok, not to mention the dog shit that is the limited number of characters, people there are just another dimension of stupidity, after reading many comments and "discussions" about anime on this platform, I appreciate a site like MAL, it's really nice to discuss here.

Tiktok may be too obvious and outclass the competition but..we'll see

TikTok ain't that bad if you have something of a motormouth and solid camera confidence

Either Twitter or Reddit. Both have a sizeable percentage of obnoxiously outspoken social justice warriors whose only investment in anime comes from a malicious, subversive desire to see everything that distinguishes it from other media destroyed.

@Tsubaki5386 so much? Lately I've been hearing more and more about how bad things are on Anilist, maybe that's why the community is so inactive, good thing I don't use that site

I'd say the worst place to discuss anime is funeral house, church, brothel.... Internet stuff ain't that bad for that.

Tiktok and Twitter are only to browse, see some edits/photos and rule number one, never read comments.

edit - Oh I must have been tired, misread the title and didn't see "Internet" word, my bad.

Aside from anilist Reddit and twitter,the first is just karma farming and the second is full of sjws

I haven't used tiktok but I don't like the shorts as a content so I would hate it

Out of these options, probably either Facebook or TikTok. Both are filled with idiotic takes from media-illiterate morons, the only difference is the age ranges.

In general though, I'd say 4chan, as in my mind, it's automatically the worst place to discuss literally anything.

I would say Reddit.

It is always the worse place to talk about anything since it just an echo chamber of the same ideas. Yes, you can find a lot of information, but discussions? Worse to place (imo) to have any of that.

It's definitely Facebook.. Facebook is now a platform of old people in their 50s to connect and talk about politics and anilist.. A certain person there will find fault with Anything you say and get rid of you..

@BirdyTheMighty Nah most of the active fanbase on insta and twitter are kids. Although I do see most of the tiktok anime vids are made by adults, and they're usually pretty cringe, so I guess it depends on the platform.

Reddit 🤮🤮🤮

I think upvote + downvote forum systems are terrible as it promotes dogpiling and virtue signalling more, rather than encouraging any meaningful discourse.

I don't know about tiktok as I've never used that but among the others I'd say Facebook. Those guys act like absolute weeaboos watching 3 animes at most.

Anywhere with noticeable janitor presence is doomed. It pressures discussion culture made for the worst kind of people. Anilist, for example, is god-awful. It's Twitter-lite with crazy people for mods. They spied in on my private conversation and suspended me for calling Code Geass a synonym for stupid. I told them to unban me because I'm a sensitive, young autistic man, but they banned me again for arguing with the mod.

Greatly depends on what particular anime and where. I also want to say I think tiktok is just too easy. It's literally just a bunch of zoomer kids, of course it's going to be cancerous. No contest.


All that said I'm generally inclined to say here. The people on this forum are strange.
They use AI to interact with the forum, they get oddly angry/defensive about things, they ask questions then delete their accounts (lol) and overall just exhibit bizarre behaviour.

Three-way tie between Twitter, TikTok and Reddit.
Twitter fans and shippers are incredibly obnoxious, not to mention they always bring up IRL politics which have literally no place in anime.
TikTok is pure zoomer nonsense, like most tiktoks are either terribly misinformed clickbait or some turbocringe trash that would make even the cringiest of weebs wince.
Reddit has this ugly "holier than thou" circlejerk mentality that you have to consider something to be "a masterpiece", or to be subscribed to some weirdo fan theory that is, like, 99% of the time completely wrong, to be a real fan. And they hate on ecchi for no reason at all, all the while they are actually the biggest ecchi and hentai fans.
Honorable mention goes to YouTube and all the fake misinformed clickbait reviews.
@zech honestly people like that make me avoid Anilist completely. It's Reddit-lite and the only reason I didn't list it is because it's got nowhere near the influence of Reddit or even MAL in people's opinions.

Looks like someone has a persecution complex.

----

Anyways, from worst to least worst; TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, 4Chan, Reddit, MyAnimeList, YouTube.

First two are terrible from principle alone. Facebook and Tumblr are dead AF, though Tumblr's userbase was more bareable if a bit too cringe, Tumblr is also where the toxic and reactionary side of Twitter came from.

4Chan is full of shitposters and horny people but there's fair share of descent takes.

Reddit has a lot of genuine analysis but too much of It's userbase refuses to step outside their comfort zone and sticks purely to mainstream Shounen and seasonals.

MyAnimeList and YouTube are great if you completely ignore the ragebait slop from reactionary conservative grifters and stick to the essays and in-depth reviews, there's also a lot more idiots and elitists in MAL, so YouTube is the best.

I recommend Hazel and Kenny Lauderdale, Super Eyepatch Wolf and Mother's Basement are OK, the former being too pretencious, the latter overhyping seasonal slop too much, Gaijin Goombah is more about Japanese Culture in general if that interests you. This post just devolved into YouTuber recommendations but content like that is why it's basically the only good platform to discuss Anime.

Reddit cause the way that site is formatted is the stuff of satan, you go into any thread and like 95% of the replies are just to whatever the top comment is hidden behind the messiest god damn drop down menus, couple that with how echoe chamber shit gets there with how subreddits work.

@JizzyHitler I was once intrigued by the idea of ​​reddit as a platform, but then I was faced with the fact that most anime subreddits are a banal forum version of Twitter with very narrowly localized interests, the absence of people over 30 years old and excessive impressionability.

r/reedit since is pro-harassment and most users are antis/sjws with some even have mods powers. Subs of individual series are a bit better but main ones are toxic af. Doesn't help I hate the downvote/upvote stuff. It's the worst social media after using Twitter, TikTok and Discord. I have even seen massive harassment campaigns organized against users they don't like. Although there are antis on Twitter too, at least a lot of pro-shippers exist and they expose antis' hypocrisy. I also dislike reedit harassment isn't commonly reported or not taken seriously most of the time.

The best site to talk about and enjoy Anime is Discord since it allows privacy and it doesn't force you to interact with people you don't like.

@AzafuseKingTora What is your idea of "analysing anime like an artform" exactly? Perhaps it entails being a subreddit moderator who barefacedly declares that they'll ban any user who disagrees with the notion that *insert any tomboy/trap/androgynous character here* is actually a transexual? Or is making the call for loli to be banned for the seventieth time this week more up your alley?
