Anime why is there so much negativity in the naime forum

[animekid17]

why is there so much negativity in this forum. it seems all I ever read is how "this series sucks" and "animes you really hate".

and why is it threads like "series that suck" go on for 11+ pages and positive threads only last for maybe 1-3 :animenose .

why is everyone so negative towards something they supposedly like.

[COLOR=#A18C56]I'm kind of at a loss here. Perhaps you could tell us which OB threads you are referring to, yeah?

...Although I've been to other anime forums where flaming certain popular series is all them members do. Sometimes a discussion would come up but it's usually the sort of exchange that gets all bloody and messy and ends up as nothing but entertainment fodder to the other members.[/COLOR]

Besides I know what animekid17 is talking about because he PM?d me asking why I dislike Inuyasha, so I hope he doesn?t mind if I answer this question as well.

What you call negativity is actually just opinions and personal preferences of individuals who frequent the forums. Certainly you weren?t hoping to find a forum full of Inuyasha fans or fans of another series/show/movie/type of music/music group were you? Opinions differ, and as for your argument that many contradict themselves, I fail to see that at all and without specific examples I cannot assist you further in understanding them.

The opinions that I?ve read on the forums are consistent with those of individuals who feel specifically for or against a given anime and or series. Now don?t quote me for saying this but there is not one single specific post that comes to my mind where an individual (who has a certain preference about a series mentioned on the forums) contradicts him or herself by both liking the said series and disliking it at the same time. On the contrary I?ve made a number of posts thus far about how I had once liked something and then for whatever reason decided to turn away from it. Such is, of course, a natural progression. I fail to see the complexity there.

As I mentioned both positive and negative reviews regarding something should be tolerated in hopes of seeing a series, movie or show from a different point of view (in this case the point of view of those opposed to the show).

Perhaps Raya is correct and you did not properly specify what you meant after all. If and when you do perhaps other forum members then could respond to this thread in defense against their arguments.

Actually I find this forum to be one the most tame one's I've ever been to (which I can sort of understand as many members here are young or keeping it all ages). Apart from that persocomblues covered it quite well.

Um, perhaps because there's more bad animes than good animes? ;)

Please, if you want to talk about a show that you love without talking to people that hate that specific show, post in the official thread for that series (I think there's a link at the top of the page to a list of all of the official series threads). They generally go on for lots of pages (the Naruto thread I think is in the 20s or early 30s), and you'll mostly find positive remarks in those. Try posting in those threads, you might like it. Just stop saying "PEOPLE SHOULD ONLY TALK ABOUT STUFF THEY LIKE!1!1!" and instead actually talk about WHAT you like in those threads. You'll definately find lots of people who share your opinions.

Well I think you truely cant like anime unless your willing to critise it for yourself. ;) Everyone has there own opinion...although hearing "this anime sucks' without any hard evidence to back it up is just in my opinion immature. :rolleyes: if you really dont like an anime then you should specify why....saying the story sucked or characters were lame...doesnt help..you should be able to say why the story sucked or why the characters where lame...give examples on how they should of been or to what "good" characters they should of been like...well thats my two cents on this subject ;)
