Top 10 Worst Types of Anime Fans

Any anime fanbase can be bad. Some are creepy, some are annoying, some are disgusting.

This list isn't for hating on others though.

1. Lolicons

   

   Lolis are so sick and disgusting. What kind of grown man thinks a five-year-old girl is attractive? Their bodies aren't even developed yet, so what could you possibly find attractive?

   I went on this app once and saw a man who "couldn't help himself" liking lolis. Just because they're a cartoon doesn't make it right.

   What's even more frightening is the anime creators themselves. They must find little girls attractive and are subtly inserting bits of their sick, pedophilic minds into their shows for like-minded viewers.

   Lolis are the first step toward becoming a child rapist.

   Wow, this gives me flashbacks to the time Silica from Sword Art Online got grabbed by that tentacle plant monster, and the monster proceeded to attempt to molest her... twice!

   Also, I have a friend at school who loves lolicon harem animes. Pretty disturbing.

2. Weeaboos

   Weeaboos don't necessarily have to be anime fans. They're defined as people who have an unhealthy obsession with Japan and its culture and might even identify themselves as Japanese.

   Regardless, Weeaboos who happen to be anime fans represent some of the worst in the fandom. Their incessant boasting about certain shows and claiming that Japanese culture is superior to everyone else's, whether asked or not, is certainly annoying and a turn-off. And that's not to mention their weird and questionable antics regarding how they view anime.

   I'll admit, there are a lot of anime fans I don't love. Weeaboos are possibly some of the most annoying. But you don't understand an anime fan until you become one.

   I was for many years, and this already-Asian girl really wanted to move to Japan and be Japanese to become a manga artist. Some of the most embarrassing years of my life.

3. Yaoi Fangirls

   I was okay with this, but I quickly changed my mind after seeing the obsession.

   Thanks to Tumblr, I now hate the whole shipping trend, especially when it involves turning two straight guys into a yaoi pairing just for the lust.

   Yaoi fangirls are very vocal, even more so than the yuri side. Calling anyone who hates yaoi homophobic is ironic because reducing two guys to sex objects isn't any better.

   The worst is the RP (role-play) requests that are limited to seeking an "uke" or "seme" just for cybersex. This is almost everywhere, even where it's not an RP site. I remember refusing such a request on a site, and the person became hysterical and sent insults.

   As long as it doesn't become an over-obsession, I can tolerate the genre. But for now, there are more important things.

4. Dub Haters

   I don't get these people! Apparently, it's weird to hear something in your OWN LANGUAGE rather than in a foreign one where you need a bunch of subtitles to understand.

   What's with the comparison between Japanese and English voices, huh? Do you guys realize that dub voice actors are meant to play the characters, not impersonate the original voice actors? Since when was it established that they must sound like the original Japanese VAs?

   These people keep claiming that sub is the only way to watch anime. Okay, then - does that mean Japanese people must watch subs if they want to watch cartoons (or whatever) from different languages? If you hate the dub so much, just search for the anime you like in sub (for example, type in One Punch Man Sub so it's less likely you get the dub).

   Stop being insensitive and biased toward dubs and the people who like them!

5. Shotacons

   Same scale as Lolicons, but with boys instead. Still disgusting.

6. Hentai Fanatics

   Man, what is it with these people? Honestly, I know you need a release every once in a while, and hentai is perfect for that. But when people start watching it regularly, that's when I get angry. Like, come on man, seriously, watch some real anime.

   Also, whenever someone asks what that person's favorite anime is, they end up giving an extremely perverted and absurd answer like Boku no Pico...

   Two words: Total pervert. What kind of person wants to see porn?

7. Perverted Fans

   This just in - sex jokes, Lenny faces, body pillows, shipping, waifus, etc. The only thing worse is the people with horrible grammar or those who can't figure out how to search for an anime.

8. Fangirls

9. Nostalgia Idiots

   I'm tired of people saying anime was better in the old days! Come on, there's still good anime out there in this century, and some - or even most - of them are better than the anime from the '80s and '90s.

   I respect Cowboy Bebop, but I hate when people claim every other anime sucks and is inferior to Cowboy Bebop. Cowboy Bebop is great, but these kinds of fans overrate it too much.

   I always hear people say that old anime is better and that all we have now is moe crap. Not all moe anime are bad, and there are still good anime being made. They even say old animation was better, but modern anime can still be good no matter the style.

10. Sword Art Online Fans

    These extremists pester people who have a negative opinion on SAO. I got accused of bashing SAO on this website, yet if you go to the comments, I rarely talk about SAO. In the posts, I just made a review.

    I cannot stand these people. They instantly call you a basher despite your opinion on SAO being somewhere between 5/10 - 6.9/10. How is that classified as offensively bad or hilariously bad? That ranks as mediocre.

    Screw Sword Art Online! It's practically ripping off Legend of Zelda and the Greed Island arc from Hunter x Hunter!

13. The Big 3 Fandom

    Ugh, the Big Three fandom - One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach are all great anime, but the fans! They're always at each other's necks about how childish One Piece is when Bleach and Naruto are pretty childish too. Or they'll complain about Bleach having too many characters, even though One Piece and Naruto have a lot of characters as well. I personally think these anime fans need to chill.

    I was going to go further down the list, but this deserved it instantly. I left anime/manga for a decade because of these fans. I just returned after giving Fairy Tail a try and having DBS.

14. Fans Who Only Care About Fan Service

15. Anime Elitists

16. Fanboys

    The fact that this is below three genres of fangirls should tell you clearly what breed they are. They don't look at their own flaws but treat the female fandom, which is much better than them, like a stain. Many of them are parasocial otakus who think any girl who likes anime is a pick-me, or that they are lying about watching anime and must only be watching mainstream shows or something. The amount of times one of these fanboys will stop you and quiz you about anime is insane. Like, dudes, it's just a form of entertainment. And entertainment's for everyone, not just your loner selves.

    And God forbid some girl likes a manga and jokes about it. I saw a video of a girl joking about how a character in Vagabond is so queer-coded, and the men in her comments were like, "Oh, look at that. Now girls like her are reading Vagabond too." Like, my boy, Vagabond ain't some sacred holy scripture of the male race that will get tainted by some jokes. It's a public form of entertainment, and anyone can read it. Girls have been anime and manga fans forever too. I mean, they are one of the major reasons the Gundam franchise was saved. But boy, wow, fanboys can't accept the truth. Their ages become very apparent each time they decide to spout something.

17. Perverted Fangirls

18. Extreme Otakus

19. Extremists

20. Fanservice Fangirls

    Fanservice for guys and girls is different. When male characters are sexualized, they still have character, hobbies, dreams, and goals, so they're more than just eye candy. When female characters are sexualized, they often lack depth - their only dream and goal is to please their indecisive love interest, and they're reduced to being just eye candy.

    In short, fanservice for guys is worse because it's over the top. Female characters need improvement in their depth and characterization beyond their unrealistic bust sizes that defy gravity.

    Free fans, Diabolik Lovers fans, etc. Need I say more?

21. Trying to Merge Fantasy and Reality

    It just doesn't work, guys. It doesn't. I know because I'm a former anime fan. It's like combining 2D and 3D. The physics don't work there. Not in anime. Ever.

22. Fans Who Only Watch the Anime Adaptations and Don't Read the Manga

    This made me laugh...

    I like both. They can both be entertaining.

    As long as they're being respectful, I don't see a problem with someone only watching the anime.

23. Anti-SJWs

24. Fans Who Try to Act Like Anime Characters

    Unless you're cosplaying, it can be really annoying if overacted.

25. Otakus

    While I adore Japanese culture, I don't think it's okay to act like you're Japanese when you aren't or to fetishize Japanese people.

26. Roleplayers

    I hate these guys. It's just another attempt not to cringe.

    I went on a nightcore stream as a joke with some friends, and it was crawling with roleplayers.

    I've seen these people all over Steam. While I was playing Payday, my crew consisted of literally UnkindledOne (that's me, by the way), Asuna, L Lawliet, and literally Zeref Dragneel.

27. Attack on Titan Fans
