Dude probably watched evangelion and code geass and thinks he's an anime conossieur
Stop gatekeeping people!

DM

The medium is already looked down on by people and this dude is tryna make s*** worse gtfoh man

He is a huge westaboo

A lot of mangaka are

Every sports manga references Black American athletes and fetishizes them

Meanwhile dudes complaining like this is new and only the west inputs its sensibilities onto a work

If anything censorship will ease up.

The nigga in OP is mad that literal pedophile s*** like Senran Kagura or Rapist s*** like Redo of Healer is being censored

I didn't say anything about it being negative? S*** evolves and changes. It's life.

You choose anger in this situation

Gatekeeping anime is extremely corny. Been watching dubbed anime since I was a kid and started watching Japanese releases since like 2006 so I’ve seen how anime has grown and went from some corny nerdy s*** to something beloved by the mainstream

More fans of anime the better. Idc if they only watch DBZ and Attack on Titan. As long as they are supporting the industry in some form then that means more anime for me.

And who’s to say that someone doesn’t only watch the popular shonens today but will never branch out in the future? When I started watching anime all I watched was bleach and naruto. It took a long time for me to decide to watch monogatari or something like natsumes book of friends

I understand not wanting to engage in a deep discussion about anime if someone only watches one popular shonen. Obviously they just don’t much about anime as a complete genre. But to say they aren’t fans of anime is corny.

I’m fine with this. That way I can separate myself from the weirdos that dress up like schoolgirls to go to the mall

Ok fam but its confusing cuz niggas sound like theyre defending op.

But OP dude is a weirdo

And I understand what niggas mean by gatekeeping in this thread but its muddied by OP nigga just being a coomer weirdo.

But sorry I jumped the gun

Man putting ghost in the shell with the others is kinda funny lol I wish more people watched gits

All I care about is that people understand why gatekeeping exists, s*** didn't come from nowhere.

Things evolve and things change, as things gain momentum and new people come into a space that space ultimately changes. New people equates to more money and more influence, then an entire medium and producers can cape to new money and change (or potentially destroy a scene). As time progresses the originators of the scene either move on and splinter off to create their own new scene with a new set of values while preserving some of the old sensibilities while the old scene caters to new money or influence. S***'s been a thing for a minute.

Idk who the f*** OP is, nor do I care. It's that OP made a point and I'm trying to you know.. discuss the point.

and fine art.

nahhhhh

If you've ever been on any anime forums, you're better off being a Normie than trying to fit in with a group of potential bitter losers and pedos.

F***ing clint eastwood helped created one of the goat anime characters of all time.

I lowkey dont engage in fandoms because most of them are corny.

I do understand gatekeeping in the context of discussions because no one wants clearly ignorant people going deep in a discussion.

The fandom s*** is corny. I dont need others to validate whether I like something.

So Im mostly here cuz of dude in OP being a known weirdo gatekeeping a whole medium cuz of coochie.

Anime gatekeeping is still weird just because its a medium that westerners primarily pirated until recently.

Like we dont all watch the same anime

But yeah I understand you. I dont think I would have cared if JJBA fandom got gatekept by OGs because people would say dumb s*** like read it out of order or read a part in half and then skip to another. Some s*** that only happened recently in the 27+ years of JJBA being a thing..

So yeah I can see situations where gatekeeping is reasonable but honestly its a bit childish.

Instead of gatekeeping them from a fandom just tell them to stop ruining a conversation. I feel like thats more sensible then making arbitrary fandom barriers

Because it’s just watching an animated show. Watching tv is not a hobby, it’s literally just watching tv

Actually stand corrected after this take. But that said, unless you’re Japanese, stop trying to gatekeep or police something that you didn’t create. That’s the equivalent of a white person gatekeeping hip hop

It is a hobby. A hobby is anything you enjoy doing in your free time

DBZ and Naruto fire, f*** whatever this guy talking about

What an idiot

You're right about the black athletes part:

hob·by1

"her hobbies are reading and gardening"

Yeah that s*** is crazy. I f*** with Hajime no ippo tho. Used to read it before boxing practice everyday
