Anime Question

Let's be honest here. List some things that you hate / or don't like about anime fans. (NOT trying to start a WAR! Just post your OPINIONS)

I have to be honest I'm not trying to offend anyone here and I'm not gonna start a war here, but this is what I hate about this fandom.

These are:
- People comparing which anime is better and keep b****ing about it till the other one stops responding. Almost every anime is different so stop comparing them and make a big deal out of it.

- People who b*** about which is better dub or sub (I DON'T CARE either way. If the show is good, It's good on both dub or sub because I watch both)

- People overusing the word "kawaii". It's a bit annoying sometimes when I keep seeing the word kawaii on some posts. It's like the only word they know (Like I said its my opinion and I don't want to start a war here).

-The DAMN MOTHERF***ING MANGA READERS WHO SPOIL THE F*** OUT OF AN ANIME. Example is Shingeki No Kyojin, Lots of A$$HOL3$ spoil it in youtube comments or other forum like sites.

There are many more but I can't remember them all so If you have an opinion on this list em I'm happy to hear them. Please I'm not trying to start a war so don't start one too.

Opinion on the manga: I KNOW RIGHT. Some people tagged thier spoilers but sime don't and who don't confuse people when the see something.( E.g. *spoiler* A post a comic about [insert character B here] is a titan but did not tagged it Spoiler. The people who don't read the manga will be like "huh?" and end up having a HUGE spoiler.

I guess I'll list a few things that I could think of right now:

- When homophobes unnecessarily try to express how they hate yaoi/yuri. I get that there are just some people who aren't comfortable with homosexual relationships but there's no need to be an ignorant ass homophobic dumbsh*t on spots/clubs/pages/threads that are dedicated to something related to yaoi or yuri.

- When people hate on certain ships and their shippers. I've already said something about this on the wall of this spot but I'm gonna say it again anyway: not everyone has your taste and your perception on who goes best with who. You can say why you ship a certain pairing and why you don't ship a certain pairing but when you start bashing, you've crossed the line.

- When people overexpose anime series. I'm sick of seeing the same freaking posts and the same freaking memes that are related to a certain series. Last year, there was barely a day where I miss a damn post about Sword Art Online on my Facebook timeline and apparently, the same sh*t is happening all over again with Attack on Titan this year. I personally can't judge the series themselves since I haven't watched them but I'm sick of seeing the same crap every single day.

- SPOILERS. Of course, who wouldn't be pissed about this? About a week ago, I was chillin' my ass on Facebook scrolling down my TL when I saw this person's post about the death of a certain character from a certain series. It was some thing like "So [insert character's name here] is dead huh :'(". Gurl, that post may be brief but it's devastating. I mean really, how inconsiderate can you get?

These are just my honest opinions. link

You are right there, if it's a club dedicated to yaoi or yuri, it's not ok to express hate towards that

I hate it when they say anime is better than cartoons. I'm going to drop a bombshell now by saying this; anime IS cartoon. It is just a Japanese cartoon style, which, however great and fun to watch it is, is still at the end of the day a form of entertainment. It is no more a 'way of life' than say reading books or watching television. I bet if you ask most Japanese people, they see anime just the same way.

Things I hate about anime fans :

- The overuse of certain Japanese words : like Kawaii , Gomenasai , Baka , etc . Just , because you learned certain Japanese words from anime does not mean you have to use it all the freaking time or mix it with English . Honestly after a while it annoys me when people overuse the same Japanese words just to flaunt what little Japanese they know . I know Spanish and yet I do not use random Spanish words in order to show that I can .

- Pairing wars : I mean I ship paring's like any other anime fan , but I hate when people start a week long war over which pairing is better . Everyone has their own opinion and I do not see the point in trying to change a person's opinion or interests since that is what they like . It especially annoys me when another fan is attempting to convince me to change which pairing's I ship .

- Comparing Anime to Cartoons/Reality TV shows : Just , because I watch anime does not mean I instantly hate anything else that is not anime . In fact I love cartoon's such as MLP and Danny phantom . I also love reality TV shows like Doctor Who , Supernatural , and Sherlock , but I can also love anime at the same time . I see comparing the three as stupid and pointless and it irks me to no end when people say I am not a true anime fan just , because I enjoy other shows that are not anime .

- Dub or Sub Argument : why do I have to chose between dub or sub I mean I like both so I do not see why I am being required to pick favorites . As long as the show in general is good then I am willing to watch it in both dub or sub since I really do not see what's so terrible about either .

I hate it when they:

> Comparing cartoons to anime.. I mean, seriously man!! Cartoons are my childhood! This is even earlier than me watching anime. I'm not saying i like cartoons more than anime, I'm just defending, because not all cartoons suck. Some have cool stories than some freakingly boring animes.

> I hate it when they use vulgar words. Yeah, i really hate that. Whether they use vulgar words towards the character, the owner or the show itself. Just shut the hell up and enjoy it ok?

> Hating pairings to the extent. NON-CANON pairings are the best, for me... LOL xD... Well, you can always choose what you like. And they, nor you, have no right to bash people's favorites. It depends in them whether they like it or not. 'Nuff said.

>Comparing anime to anime. I reallyyyyyyy hate this!! -_- Especially on youtube, where senseless topics of war existed. Like Fate/Zero and SAO compared to one another. I admit i like FZ more ('cause it's pretty cool) but that doesn't mean i like to pick a fight with SAO fans just because i want to share my part of bashing, too. Seriously, that's just too immature...

Things I dislike/hate

-Creepy Yaoi fangirls. I admit, I don't like Yaoi but I don't hate it, and I'm friends with a lot of Yaoi fans, so I don't mind those, but I'm talking about the ones who HATE EVERY SINGLE FEMALE CHARACTER, because it ''gets in ta way of ma yaoiiii''. Example: Ed and Roy from FMA. I don't like this couple, I like Ed X Winry a lot more, but the people who simply hate Winry and want her to die JUST because she and Ed like each other and not Roy and Ed just pisses me off ...

- SPOILERS. O_O I have gotten spoiled on some of my favorite anime's SOO MANY TIMES it's not even funny. I now know one of the BIGGEST SPOILERS in Shingeki no Kyojin, thanks to a IDIOT who posted it in a "review" on my fanfiction story about this show ( his "review" was like, "Oh yeah, ************* happens in the Manga" That was all he wrote. --____---) . I. AM. SO. PISSED. AND I got spoiled when I just STARTED watching Clannad ( I was on like Episode 3 ) about ********** ( I'm not saying it but I bet a lot of you already know what it is), and the whole anime I felt depressed knowing it was gonna happen... -_- guys. SERIOUSLY !?!?! -deep breath- ( btw I reported the review and it got taken down ! YAY )

-WEABOOOS. RAWR. The ones who are like 'AHHH!!! KONATA FROM LUCKY STAR IS SO KAWAIII-DESU!! AHH SUGOI!!!"

shdohfohobfabvfuoabgowubsnjsaoghwuaogbosvousabgourgabcouvosbdgsnlsgls;gs;ljkdkdsbhsgejafhasbdf

THESE PEOPLE. I HATE THEM. OMG.
I was talking to someone at my school and she's like "omg I LOVE anime!! It's so kawai!" and I was like " -_-*, okay what shows do you like?" and I swear she was like "LUCKY STAR!!! That's like my favorite! Everyone there is sooo KAWAII-DESU!!" and I just facepalmed. And then she was like "I wanna move to Japan so I can be part of the KAWAII Anime Community!!" Okay. So you want to move to Japan JUST because of Anime?!? That's like saying you want to move to America because you like The Simpsons or something. I want to go to Japan ( not live there )because, yes, I do like Anime, BUT I love the language, the Culture, the way people act, the traditions, NOT just because of ANIME.... -_- just...........argh

OKAY sorry if that was really long I'm just real PASSIONATE about this stuff XD

-Anyone who walks around being like "omg KAWAII DESU NE" or "IM AN OTAKU". No. Just stop. No one thinks that sounds cool. No one, especially not me, is impressed. And they seem to have no idea how obnoxious they sound.

There are other things but that is the main thing that really annoys me.

Yeah the 'I'm an Otaku' one gets me mad too, particularly the comments which say along the lines of 'you're not an otaku unless you watch ___' . I don't watch an awful lot of anime but I do read quite a lot of obscure and uheard-of mangas which the majority of 'Otakus' have never even heard of, yet because I'm not that interested in watching the more famous ones I'm apparently not worthy of the 'Otaku' status.

Hm, I guess the only one that I see a lot and bugs me is the dub vs. sub argument. Some people prefer to watch anime in the original Japanese but just because someone prefers to watch dub doesn't mean that they are the scum of the earth. When I lost my glasses, I had to watch anime in dub because reading the subtitles without them gave me some pretty bad headaches. Didn't really matter to me because, like you, I don't have a preference.

Pairing wars is another thing that annoys me throughout any sort of fandom. It's okay that you dislike a pairing and like another but when you come across a person whose opinion is completely opposite, you don't have to tell them that their pairing is wrong and try to make them dislike it.

Spoilers. Yeah, I will admit, I have unintentionally spoiled my friends on certain things when I wasn't thinking but it's when people come out and bluntly tell you what's going to happen is what annoys me. If they tell you that it's a spoiler for a certain series before they tell you, I can understand, but coming out of the blue and telling you it is kind of a bummer.

Sometimes it's hard to avoid dropping spoilers, but I agree that it can be very irritating. *SPOILERS*********** I was only a few chapters into Death Note when I discovered that L dies, and I haven't even watched Naruto but pretty much everywhere says that someone called 'Sasuke' dies somewhere.

SPOILERS, just because you've seen it doesn't mean i have.
Just because i'm watching it, doesnt mean i have gotten as far as you or that i read the manga too. I have had this problem on some of the anime pages on facebook but..
manga readers are the worst at giving up spoilers, if you can't say or post it in a way that won't give away important plot points then you should keep your fucking opinions, comments or remarks to yourself!
As a courtesy, if i post anything i think may be a spoiler, i give huge warnings to anyone who may see my posts
People that post questions that will positively give away important information, plot points, plot twists, deaths...
Ex: "What was the saddest moment in an anime for you?" or better yet "what was the saddest death?" if you go into a question like that its your own damn fault if you find out something you didn't want to know.
i've gone into a question of this sort only to answer the question WITHOUT actually giving away pertinent info, someone asks to clarify, before i can answer, without giving away much info. some idiot explains the entire situation with what, when, who, where, and why!! true story! thats another of my peeves, if its my answer and i get a question DONT fucking answer it for me!
Obsessive behavior, yeah ok i get somewhat upset or irritated if someone disses a character i love or anime i like, and people who know nothing about anime comparing it to cartoons. But then there are those who just go off, the shipping of couples regular, but especially yaoi are the worst. I have my preferences of course, but there are those who get irate, pissed, go fucking ballistic, just cause its not the right couple. i dont give a damn who it is (even if i'm not a fan of a particular ship) if i find the art beautiful, arousing, sexy, cute, chances are i'm gonna like whoever it is. Everyone has an opinion, people who think theirs is only one that matters, need to get a grip.
lol thanks for let'n me rant XD

Hmmm

Well I wouldn't say that I hate anything as that is such a strong word o.o But there are a few things that I find a bit annoying:

>Sub vs Dub wars:
Very childish. Everyone is entitled to their own preference, but that doesn't mean you need to bash someone else's preference. Sub is obviously the original and should be respected. But some dubs do a damn good job and there isn't anything wrong with watching an anime dubbed :)

>Hating on popular anime:
This is actually a big one and I'm getting at Naruto in particular. I really don't like it when some people who watch more underground and unknown anime feel some sort of superiority over those who watch popular anime. I dunno, I've always felt that vibe over the years. Also, people, people... just because an anime is popular does not mean that it is not good and doesn't have the same depth as other anime. Yes Naruto is one of the big 3. And yes, it is my favourite anime and I'm proud of that since it's so damn awesome :)

>Homophobic comments:
Seriously, 'nuff said.

>Overuse of japanese words:
Using kawaii and chan/kun is sometimes cute, but can be a bit silly when overused.

>Anime series haters:
I really don't like it when people trash another series. We get it, you don't like it, so you don't have to bring it up, ya know? Just talk about anime you do like, rather than bad mouthing others.

>Shipping hate:
Some people are so darn rude when it comes to shipping. There is NOTHING wrong with someone liking a crack (non-canon) pairing! Just because it doesn't have a chance of happening in the anime, doesn't mean you can be rude about it :/

That's about it I think :P

Dub or sub arguments.

How fangirls constantly obsess over characters that stalk others / ship stalker x stalked pairings and excuse them of their actions because they look attractive. It's disgusting. (ex: coughs Ikuto and Kisshu coughs)

HOMOPHOBIC PEOPLE WHO LIKE YAOI/YURI????

People who don't understand that others can have ~~~OPINIONS~~~ on shows, and don't have to like a specific anime. (ex: omg you dont like fairy tail??? screw you i bet you havent even seen it!)

"""I like yaoi but yuri is disgusting!!!1!!11!""" please stop

People who push shows and ships down other's throats even when the other made it clear that they don't ship it/don't like the show or the genre.

People who ignore canon transgender characters (Ex: GRELL!!!!)

When people want Vocaloid to be an anime.

When people are insulted and yelled at for liking/not liking a certain character.

Cartoons and anime are both animation. Stop saying anime is not a type of cartoon. IT IS.

Probably a lot more, but I'm getting a bit lazy today. Maybe I'll add more later.
