I interacted with the forums because there was a purge of bots on the website, and I made a spreadsheet showing the difference in score of the top 100 mangas, so nerd shit, and I wanted to publish it, so I joined the discord and sent it over there and also in the forums

after that, I decided to actually take a look at the forums and man, people are horny, stupid, and have 0 media literacy

this thread was named " "The anime is better than the manga" you ever heard that one before?"




this next image is from " Is romance/slice of life the greatest anime genre?" (also yeah there is a lot of people trying to prove that OBJECTIVELY their favourite anime is the best)

if i'm being completely honest, I expected people to at least have a little bit of media literacy, the horny part was expected tho

the fucking "I don't want to talk to people who like slice of life because I hate qAnon" was NOT something I was prepared for

They're unhinged, mostly people like your 2nd pic who think they're smarter than everyone and their opinion is objective truth.
That mixed with people who didn't watch the anime at all or are too braindead to understand anything that isn't said literally by a character.

I blocked reviews with UBlock, a lot of the reviews are just pathetic.

Also yeah MAL people are unhinged and sometimes have the most xD takes you'd ever see.

I sometimes read them because they can be funny, although it's usually not intended.

How tf do you use MAL, I can't remember all the animes I've watched in my life so I don't feel like undertaking the arduous journey of logging what I watch (the consequences of shitty 12 episode slice of life/romance with no real substance).

Edit: I'm not calling all Slice of Life bad don't come for me.

I mean, you don't remember all of them at once, over the next 6 months after starting using the website, you will be searching for new anime to watch and will keep stumbling into stuff you've alerady watched

1) - cognitive multiprocessing isn't even a term (the brain already processes multiple actions at once, the difference between anime and manga isn't changing that)
2) - cites research to essentially say "my genre doesn't encourage or stimulate objectively controversial beliefs into people, therefore it's way better than anything else", while also ignoring the reason why there were no associations between drama and paranormal beliefs in the first place

(the sample size for drama basically didn't exist)
3) - bro would go on a mini-tirade off of this meme

TIL mal forums are just vacuums where people ignore opinions and voice their own, try to argue that theirs is better and more right, and/or try to form a circlejerk with people who have the same opinion as them

I like to use MAL because I like to remember all the anime I've ever watched in my life, and how much I liked each one. I write separately on OneNote which animes I watched each year too. I don't think it's too much effort to just click a button that marks an episode as completed twice a day.

Although the OneNote thing is very annoying to do, and I only update it about 4 times a year, searching MAL for animes that aren't on the OneNote list yet...

Three other reasons why I use MAL:
  1. I love seeing my anime statistics, such as total time watched, total episodes watched, average rating (I rated EVERY anime I've ever watched, without exception), etc.
  2. I can easily manage the animes I want to watch.

1. search up anime you want to watch and put on plan to watch list
2. watch anime
3. select as completed then rate 1 - 10

i have forgotten some of the anime i watched but some that i rediscover i just put on my put to watch list because i dont remember everything that happens in the older stuff ive seen

I have no idea what any of this is.

I can't say I didn't somewhat expect this. I don't know man, I just watch anime and then log it on Kitsu and that's it. I only watch what seems interesting to me, so comedy, SOL and maybe drama/romance sometimes. Action isn't my cup of tea, to be honest, unless it is mixed in with comedy too.

actually

yeah i'm dumb
though i feel like mal is especially a vacuum because it's largely comprised of people whose entire personalities are predominantly anime (at least with OT you have some furries artists and semi-normal people)

Is this what some have promoted that everyone should use forums instead of socials based on what i have read online?
