What is wrong with certain anime fans?

@Hazu …I didn’t…since they weren’t SJWs, my no engage rule wasn’t in effect. I called them out for being elitists :P

I just fucking hate snobs. Even when I know more than someone does in whatever series, I try to not be a know it all dick and simply engage for the fun of the series. Even when I hate something, like when Attack on Titan first started being discussed here…I said why I felt it had jumped the shark and gone off the rails as a series, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t take a dump on anyone still enjoying it.

On a side note…I did read the end of AoT…I wasn’t impressed, but I guess I wasn’t going to be no matter what considering I did not like where it all went after the big time skip.

Well said, all. Thank you for the responses. After a night’s sleep I’m a little calmer on it this morning.

I think part of my reaction, and blow up last night like this, was a final straw moment. I am genuinely disgusted with the behavior of people in general these days, and having a couple of Gundam snobs come to me, someone who’s been watching and consuming anime for over 35 years since I first saw Robotech on TV as tiny guy, kinda pushed me over the edge.

As I said, I’ve reached a point this week where I am disgusted with how people are behaving towards one another. I won’t try to pretend I’m perfect, and I know on this very forum I’ve probably been a dick on occasion by some perspectives, but I do strive to at least start everything civilly and with respect. I’m not itching for a fight or to place myself on a higher level to look down on people. I am honestly excited when someone, new or old, reveals interest in something I enjoy since people like that are few and far between in my life these days. So I look forward to conversations, and if it ends up I have more knowledge on something I see it as a moment to share that knowledge in a fun way, not as an elitist.

I mean, I know the internet is full of trolls. I’ve dealt with them since this damn thing started and forums and chat rooms became things. I just reached a limit yesterday due in part, I also think, to the existence and constant threat of SJWs trying to tear down everything good. When there is a common enemy at large, I simply cannot fathom the immaturity and short sightedness of continued in fighting in fandoms when all attention must and should be focused on repelling the woke tide still trying to swallow up everything we love.

Today is a new day, and I’ve managed to reset my tolerance to a certain degree in large part because these forums are a place where I can come to engage in this kind of mind clearing discussion.
