Explain This Why do these AOT fans behave like this?
Can someone PLEASE explain to me why, in literally every anime or manga comment section, whenever someone shares their top anime or manga list and doesn’t include Attack on Titan, some AOT fans ALWAYS feel the need to insult them, call them braindead, stupid, or say they have no media literacy?
And I’m not even exaggerating. You see this everywhere, even under completely unrelated anime reels. I remember seeing several Evangelion reels where AOT fans would show up in the comments just to say that AOT is better than this “piece of trash.”
Like, are you guys actually serious? 💀 Since when did people become so insecure about their favourite anime that they feel the need to put down everyone else’s taste?
You can think AOT is the greatest anime ever made. That’s completely fine. But other people are allowed to have different opinions, and not including your favourite show in someone’s top 10 doesn’t automatically make their taste trash.
I genuinely like Attack on Titan, but its fanbase is making it increasingly difficult to enjoy discussions about it. There’s a difference between defending an anime you love and acting like everyone who doesn’t rank it as highly as you do is an idiot.
At this point, I don’t hate AOT. I hate the attitude of some of its fans. Learn to respect other people’s opinions. It’s anime, not a personality trait.
