View Question
Added 2023-12-29 04:21:36 +0000 UTCA few questions for understanding: Why do some viewers explain why we should like characters, especially when, naturally, we might come to like them as the anime continues?
Is it more important for a reactor to feel as you do, or to see how they respond when they are watching blindly? So, do you prefer to coach their understanding and feelings?
Why do you want us to hold off on judging a character too soon? This one is complicated because judgment happens automatically, and the choice is between keeping it to oneself or sharing it.
So, is it that you want the judgment kept to oneself, or that it should never have been thought of in the first place?
In short, what is the intention behind your comments?
I’ll go first. When I comment on a creator's post, I care to be heard and acknowledged. Lol. I don’t really care about the content. I just want to be noticed, for good or bad. So, as long as I think my comment will spark an emotion, particularly laughter or anger, I won't comment.
Meaning, my intention, which I didn’t know until I wrote this, is to either piss someone off, anyone, or make someone laugh. There is no in-between; I don't try to hurt feelings, promote empathy, or share information for the sake of knowledge.
I just want to invoke one or two emotions, generally speaking.
Even this post was designed because I was irritated, and I switched to something informative so I can grow, lol. Smh.
Anyway, I am curious about what that says about me.
There is no wrong answer. Just want to listen.

2023-12-31 01:51:05 +0000 UTCI think it's just human nature. Some folks are rude af. Other are just trying to share their feelings or knowledge but it can ruin a blind reaction. I *try* to think if my comment is going to hurt the experience beforehand but I can't always know what can be considered hurtful, so I usually just don't comment. If I do comment it's usually just to say I found something funny or responding to a question like this post. Just know I think y'alls reactions are great, crazy theories and all. Oh and some things I didn't notice for awhile were that the audio for opening and ending are played for patrons but muted for reactors. I eventually caught on tho lol.

2023-12-30 04:49:34 +0000 UTCIt’s general. Anyone can share
Rock Lee
2023-12-30 03:34:53 +0000 UTCAre you asking anime people or everybody? I can explain some of the reasons I sometimes comment and other times I tried not to. But let me know I will gladly give feedback
LightMyPath Star
2023-12-30 02:00:25 +0000 UTCPeople just want you to like the same things as them I guess, I wouldn't look at it that deep. And I just comment when I feel like it idk I just see an opportunity and take it and hopefully it gets read.
Windragon
2023-12-29 21:56:39 +0000 UTCYeah sometimes I also feel the urge to write how shitty a really liked mainstream show is compared to so many hidden gems. But then I remember that if it was the other way around it would be exactly the same. I gotta say some trolls or bad takes comments are awesome because they are true. 😜

2023-12-29 20:49:53 +0000 UTCdidnt mean to call out, anonymous. Sometimes its just hard to know to what extend it was meant. Obviously there are some extreme examples.

2023-12-29 19:49:55 +0000 UTCWhenever I comment something it’s usually to make sure the person know I’m appreciative for the post and enjoyed it. I know it often comes of as being a suck up to the person but I don’t really care cuz I hear all the time about how difficult it can be to post and not get any recognition or get hateful comments and have often time read said hateful comments so I try my best to say something nice when I enjoyed a post. Now if I feel like there’s a really heated comment section where I can either catch a stray for commenting or will just be drowned out by the louder comments I’ll probably just give a like on the post and move on. Also if I feel like I’m being more of an annoyance than a supporter or feel like I’ve just repeating myself and not adding anything new to what I enjoy about the content I’ll probably go quiet for a little while. I have a tendency to rotate from being an active commenter to being very inactive for periods of time. It’s rare but sometimes I’ll try to help clarify something (only when all the information has already been presented in what you guys have watched cuz no one likes a spoiler) or to add a fun fact that won’t be in the show. I try my best not to be a spoiler and refuse to make complaints because I don’t think I have the right to decide how someone runs their business or live their lives. I’m just here to enjoy the ride and like to be vocal about when I’m enjoying someone’s content. I also have a tendency to misunderstand a written post (like the one where you said put not a spoiler before a comment as a joke but I took it as a serious request and made the mistake of putting “not a spoiler” in front of all my comments for like a week) so sometimes i make a stupid mistake cuz i misunderstood what someone was asking for 😅. I dunno if this helps at all or not but thought I’d give my two cents
Gavin Daniels
2023-12-29 17:51:39 +0000 UTCThanks Bran. I also think your original comment is fine. I got the message, I would not do the back and forth. I take you said a general statement and it doesn’t apply to everyone but it helps understand a particular personality type. Thank you.

Rock Lee
2023-12-29 17:31:31 +0000 UTCI guess when I leave a comment, I hope for two things; 1) to promote a small discussion about the episode and get another side of ideas and opinions. 2) get people a little more involved with the seiyuu and what they bring to the character that no one else can. 🥰 As for the other questions you proposed, I try hard not to spoil plot or character development . If you hate on a character that gets redemption later, it doesn't mean you have to like them after it either. I mean I was a big Manito fan because of the design of the character and how impressive Shimazaki-san made him come to life. Everyone said I would regret it and after he took out Nanami I was not happy of course, but props were the same as before so I took nothing back. 🤔 I want you guys to form your own opinions on an episode by episode basis just like I and other non manga readers do. It's only fair. 😊 I watch the channel and support cause of the honest reactions that you guys give as well as the thought provoking discussions afterwards. You take things a bit more seriously too which is really refreshing compared to Roshi and ReAnimated. It sets you guys apart from them and makes me more likely to check out your reactions first! 🤗

Rock Lee
2023-12-29 17:17:18 +0000 UTCBut also, ignore those idiots on youtube, they're just stupid kids(mentally regardless of their real age)
Moony
2023-12-29 16:53:53 +0000 UTCGonna use raildex as an example. Accelerator is the fan favourite character, people love him, but he's first introduced as a villain who is very hateable, but over the course of many arcs and novels, he's redeemed and becomes one of the MCs. I think fans of Accelerator know that he's not a good person when he's first introduced, and don't want him to be written off as a bad guy despite being a villain.
Moony
2023-12-29 16:52:44 +0000 UTCBetter question is why are you crying about it. Man up and ignore those idiots.
Adrian Howell
2023-12-29 16:24:41 +0000 UTCAnything alluding to how a character will be in the future, is a spoiler to me. So that is never something I'd comment about (granted, I rarely comment in the first place). More often than not, when I watch reactions on patreon, I've already watched it on my own first. And I 100% prefer having the reactioner go through the journey I did, blind. That makes for a waaaay better reaction. Another reason I hate when people say "just wait for xyz episode! I cried nonstop!!" It just creates expectations. Anything alluding to future events, outside of the episode currently being reacted to, shouldn't be commented. Lol.

2023-12-29 16:06:18 +0000 UTCas a true villain should lmaoooo
Mochi
2023-12-29 15:51:14 +0000 UTCExactly, I figured as much lol that's why I usually ignore if you're meming cause it's pretty obvious when you're going for the joke
Mochi
2023-12-29 15:32:55 +0000 UTC@YaBoyRockLee...All you set out to do was yield feedback to better understand how you can make our viewing experience more pleasurable. Thank you for always taking the time to include us in your strategic process. I see your efforts and they were appreciated. It's just frustrating to see people make assumptions about your thoughts when you clearly articulated what you needed to know. You blamed no one and there was no need for people to become defensive. At this point, I recommend you just post "Rules for Commenting" along with consequences for those who cannot adhere to your rules. I'm sorry this process negatively impacted you and the team. It was unwarranted.
Bran Bran
2023-12-29 15:22:35 +0000 UTCThank you for your response. I can see your point of view. Forgive my confusion, but I can't seem to connect how you concluded that I assumed "a person's passion for a character is inherently manipulative." In using your logic, I would have to say that it is unfair for you to assume that the behavior in question is fueled by passion. For the sake of argument, let's assume they are passionate. At what point does being passionate justify one's ability to negate the participating audience for self-gratification? It's simply unacceptable by any means.
Bran Bran
2023-12-29 14:57:14 +0000 UTCInteresting skirmish. But yeah i wanted the feedback this particular post should be a ceasefire zone. An opportunity to tell me your feedback as I literally lowered my guard basically and asked for it before my walls go back up with whatever mental changes i made. Lol. But to the sensitivity training. My intention is to react the same and by understanding the viewer. I will be less frustrated ha. I i accept i say triggering commentary. Usually when i am aware of it i dont check the comments for that video but i lose track sometimes haha. Like i currently dont read jujutsu kaisen comments. I live in Tokyo Revengers and Frieren. Whichever comment section is having fun

2023-12-29 14:54:03 +0000 UTCI used to he in the Hokage journey lol
Rock Lee
2023-12-29 14:48:22 +0000 UTCIt was Horiyama ep 2 on YouTube but that wasnt even that deep. I been dealing with jujutsu kaisen the whole week but there isn’t much to say cuz as soon as i realize the comment is about that show i put my phone down or scroll past. Hahahan so the poir Horimiya fans was the last straw in my mind. But every now and than i catch my emotions being petty. So i wanted to reflect and grow instead

Rock Lee
2023-12-29 14:42:54 +0000 UTCHahaha. Thats who i find relatable. If you want to know the answer to my mind. I like villains The more i get poked by viewers and i find it comforting to think. “I am not liked because i am the villain or antagonist of this story” and i mentally cope better. Expectations are gone when your an antagonist. It represents freedom in my mind. (This is absolutely crazy talk btw. Just answering your question)
Rock Lee
2023-12-29 14:42:40 +0000 UTCI am not calling anyone out. I just wanted to hear any and all feedback. There is a few here actually
Rock Lee
2023-12-29 14:40:18 +0000 UTCLol. The essay was valuable haha. Don’t apologize. Its what i was looking for. I just learned Parasocial like last year. The concept is still fresh to me. Thank you
Rock Lee
2023-12-29 14:39:42 +0000 UTCOh it was the needle on the straws back. But specifically Horimiya episode 2 a YouTube comment was telling us it’s okay, we will like these people later on. Haha. I am already finished with the show, but i am like. Why even tell us that. I don’t really like to be told who to like or not cuz it taints the misdirection or what not. I have emotional intelligence just now reading skills lol. 😂. But brother there is no issue. I just had time to reflect this week
Rock Lee
2023-12-29 14:35:07 +0000 UTCYea. Today is no blame. I was genuinely curious. Really i need the people who responded that way to answer and a few of them did rather than huff and puff ha. I was like “why do they think this way?” I do reflecting every year cuz recording slow down and i make a change to how i conduct myself and how i interact for a more positive situation
Rock Lee
2023-12-29 14:32:21 +0000 UTCI understand why you would think this way. It probably accounts for a certain group of people, sure, but I don't think all comments are like that. It's unfair to assume a person's passion for a character is inherently manipulative. I don't think the question was intented to blame these people either, I think he genuinely is experiencing a vast variety of different responses but also gets tainted by the select few that take it too far.

2023-12-29 13:41:41 +0000 UTCTHISSSSSS
Mochi
2023-12-29 13:31:41 +0000 UTCthis is actually quite right for the most part. I think the most simply put way for me is that ppl can be impatient and dont really think all that much when they type. When I show my friends a show sometimes I dont think and blurt out stuff like that. Online its easier to control cuz maybe Im typing it and then be like "oh wait, probably shouldnt say that" and delete it but it might happen naturally even online for others. Its not a good thing but at the very least, the positive is that ppl like your channel enough to see you as someone they want to share their emotions/opinions with. But then again, every one's different so thats my take on how it is. I dont think theres really a "fix" for this unless you get a mod and have them run through the comments before you to avoid spoilers or half spoilers
Danny
2023-12-29 13:30:34 +0000 UTCirie done worry about this clown, they already proved to me they don't have good reading comprehesion and only cherry pick. They proved my point about comments "coming off as aggressive" that may not actually be aggressive but because of that person skimming and only responding to what triggered them, they missed the part where I said I love this team and their opinions and that critical and educational comments don't always come from a place of aggression and I didn't "defend aggressive comments". I gave an answer as to why people respond in a reactive way to things that trigger them, which is literally the question Lee asked. So yeah, Unfazed, you are the one projecting and assuming and once again inable to use your critical reading skills. I guess you just get off on thinking you're right and sounding like a know-it-all at this point considering all your comments are about trying to tell me my opinion is wrong 🤔 🙃
Mochi
2023-12-29 13:29:28 +0000 UTCSorry in advance if this turns into an essay but I believe i can answer these questions for you so here it goes.... I think to start we have to look at the creator/community relationship as a whole.. one major thing that makes a creator successful is the ability to form a para-social relationship with their viewers, its what makes them come back and continue to view/pay for your content over other reactors.. now the main issue with a para-social relationship is that by design it will always be one sided.. they will always be strangers to you, but for them you're someone that has been a constant positive force in their lives similar to that of a friend or relative, so while their attachment to you only grows the more they consume the content they will always just be random strangers on the internet to you (theres some exceptions to this like friends you make on discord and such but the vast majority of your audience will always stay as strangers).. so the first part of the question, I believe for most people it is more important for you agree/share the same opinion as them because people want their "friends" to agree with them... if they just wanted to see the blind reaction theres litterally hundreds of reactions on youtube for them to consume but they want YOU to have the same reaction/feeling that they had because theres a "relationship" thats been built up over years now.... it takes time and a certain maturity to be able to let someone you feel close to have a different opinion and still like them (unfortunately most people these days dont have that level of maturity) that is why they will try to get you to feel like they do about certain characters/situations..... now as for the judgment part I think it all stems back to the old addage "dont judge a book by its cover"...especially if its a character that really resonates with the viewer.. if you judge that character harshly that means you are judging them harshly in their mind and no one likes to be judged in general let alone based on first impressions.. its similar to when you ask viewers not to judge you based on the reaction but to wait till after the discussion when you have more context/can think about the situation more...its a tough situation bacause you want to be entertaining but dont want to piss people off either so you have to try an navigate that while trying to understand the show your watching... its a unique problem that only content creators tend to run into with their communities and unfortunately theres no quick fix for it but if it helps try to remember that for every person that comments that they dont like how you reacted theres 10 people that didnt comment and will like/support you just the way you are!!.. i hope that answers your question and again sorry for turning it into an essay 😅
Helix_Neb
2023-12-29 12:41:08 +0000 UTCI don't usually post comments but when I do, it is generally to give some context or to thank the creators but I think the people who do as you mentioned just want to share what they like with the reactors. It would be similar to trying to explain to a friend or acquaintance about why a show or similar is great and convince them about it, sharing that experience\emotion with them.
Rnn
2023-12-29 12:10:13 +0000 UTCSo what sparked this line of thoughts? I know you don't want to point at anybody, but can you hint what show it happened or is this overall through everything you are doing kdramas, anime, etc? PS. As for answer for myself I want to see you behave naturally and be blind to the shows you react to, I know there might be a show where one of you have seen it.

Unfazed27
2023-12-29 07:02:19 +0000 UTCMy 90% of comments are only about corrections. I don't expect reactors to rewatch the episodes so if I think a reactor didn't get something right or missed something I explain just that. Your early judgements for characters never bother me.

2023-12-29 06:33:41 +0000 UTCYour questions are not only valid but warranted. Viewers who practice this behavior often ruin the experience for everyone else and in all honesty, should be restricted from commenting for a specified period. With this being said… in my opinion, said viewers practice this behavior because they are narcissists who lack self-awareness. Narcissists are innate manipulators and this behavior deludes them into thinking that their viewpoint of said characters, if thoroughly explained, will sway your perception in their direction; thus, giving them immediate gratification. They comment in said manner, all while being oblivious to the fact that their character analysis can’t possibly make sense because the development of character attributes they are referencing has not yet been revealed to first-time watchers. In addition, their inability to be self-aware justifies removing their responsibility of ruining the experience for everyone else; thus, the repetitive nature of their comments. So to answer your questions…No, it’s neither important for you to mirror their views nor is it preferable to them to coach your understanding; rather; it’s their need to be the first to expose the unknown with the mindset of “I know something you don’t know.” There is no benefit in keeping the information to themselves. Revealing it gives them a false sense of validation and; thus, immediate gratification. If you can recall, there was a time when people would put the word “FIRST” under social media posts or videos with no rhyme or reason. Yep. That’s them. Whether you verbally express your initial perception of a character or keep it to yourself, it means nothing to them because, in their deluded minds, their viewpoint has already played a part in how you will view said character from that point forward. The disrespectful part of all of this is their attempt to insult your intelligence as if you can’t see that their explanation of said the characters provided context clues that pretty much spoiled the entire show. Sigh… IT’S THEM NOT YOU.
Bran Bran
2023-12-29 06:15:45 +0000 UTCI'm not surprised that you advocate for people being aggressive with their comments since you are notorious for ruining the comment section with your horrible takes, accusing the second male lead of being toxically masculine and saying bong soon cries like a little girl and now you're even saying yaboyrocklee needs sensitivity training. I don't care what nobody says, your comments are deplorable like remember when you talked about poop alcohol? like bro did you honestly think people wanted more info on poop alcohol? LOL
Unfazed27
2023-12-29 06:08:41 +0000 UTCwhen it comes to anime, i don't get as defensive as others so i can't really relate because I will do character assassinations on any 2d character lol but i do get attached to my kdrama babies or my live action heroes for sure so I'm sure it also depends on the context and the particular way a person identifies with said character as well.
Mochi
2023-12-29 05:43:54 +0000 UTCWell.. depends! lol! There are 2 ways to make those comments: the wrong way where you spoil future growth or trolls who really don’t add anything to the conversation (hey engagement! Right?). And 2, pointing things that the anime/show already showed that influences the character (past trauma etc) since the Reactor doesn’t have the luxury of re-watch (like we do) it might be a good idea to point previous scenes to help that “Oh I got it” moment that we get when we re-watch stuff.
Dist
2023-12-29 05:43:19 +0000 UTCI only comment if I think it will contribute to non-spoiler knowledge or if I think it's a funny remark.
Kevin Baker
2023-12-29 05:42:51 +0000 UTCI mean for me, it's cause I feel like you jump to conclusions and rush theories really quick and often end up in these wild tangents that are always so off the wall bonkers and sometimes confuse your memory of what actually happened. Other times, it's because you're extremely critical of a character and it comes across as extremely insensitive, arrogant, or emotional projection which is fine but I feel like if you don't want comments to be so aggressive maybe you're commentary could use a little sensitivity training lol. Not saying censorship, cause of course it's your channel and we gonna consume it no matter what cause I absolutely love and adore this team and will continue to put my money where my mouth is. Just from my perspective, it seems you tend to feel like comments that are critical in response are some sort of personal attack on you as the creator, when it's usually not in that sense. I often see educational and informative comments that strive to help you guys, but you tend to treat them as insults and criticism and take them negatively, so I hope that this helps to lighten your mood when reading comments from now on, that you understand they come from a place of care and respect---at least in my case.

2023-12-29 05:41:42 +0000 UTCI am very curious what sparked this and even what show 😂
Asher Ealey
2023-12-29 05:33:17 +0000 UTCMy intention in commenting is to interact with people who watched the same stuff I did and see their overall thoughts on it. Whether they liked it or not the reason behind it is more important. The emergence of so many different takes make the discussions just so amazing. And by the end of it we come out of the interaction with at least an understanding of the other side. Not to mention that all the things that you may have missed may become clear through the interactions
Asher Ealey
2023-12-29 05:32:51 +0000 UTCI'm not 100% but I think this is more about hyping up a character beforehand. Trying to build characters up before they should be because you know what's to come. Just let them experience the show blind without any prior expectations of who they're suppose to like or dislike.
Randy Cooper
2023-12-29 05:29:44 +0000 UTCI'm glad someone else brought this up. Because, the first time I started to notice people doing this. Is when I watched and checked out reactors watching, Chainsaw Man. It was infuriating to see so many people commenting and spoiling the potential of a character. Before the episode that would've allowed us to see that for ourselves even had a chance to air. Which was upsetting, because these individuals already had a chance to view the material when it was still fresh. Which means they got the opportunity to form an opinion about certain characters overtime without unwanted spoilers. Yet, instead of allowing new readers/watchers to experience that too. They purposely took what should've been a surprising moment away from others. It's like watching a movie with a person who already saw it. Yet, instead of them letting you experience it for yourself. They keep telling you what emotion you'll feel before their favorite scenes play out. Then they're confused as to why you're not feeling the way they did while watching the movie for the first time. When your lack of a reaction is literally the result of them sucking the wonder out of it.
Elmanii
2023-12-29 05:29:38 +0000 UTCIt is 100% more important that you react in talk in the way that you feel when watching a specific movie or episode. If you had the same take as anyone else you wouldn’t be different. Judging a character or show is completely normal don’t feel like you need to hold back on that. Especially if you got a good reason. What makes a channel, especially your channel really good is that you always express exactly how you feel even if it is an unpopular opinion. I personally have quite a bit of character that I hate on or put on fraud watch that are definitely unpopular but anime is subjective. I literally was clowning nobara when she was fighting mahito than next episode got proven wrong 😂

2023-12-29 05:27:36 +0000 UTCAlso I am not just simply trying to shit on JJK specifically. I just do not like it and am using it because its been happening this season. When another shonen jump show pops back up or another overly rated anime with an insanely toxic and annoying fanbase I will end up hating that one as well.

2023-12-29 05:21:52 +0000 UTCI probably did make that type of comment. Were you talking about this comment specifically or a comment I replied to you about a while back? I just don't remember it. Honestly I don't care if people watch mainstream anime. Part of my hate comes from the people who only watch the most mainstream anime and they glorify it as if nothing else comes close to its greatness. For example, you can say JJK is a good series and I won't deny that its at least fairly good. The best thing about the series so far is the action scenes cause the writing and the characters are meh at best. The annoying people that only watch JJK because its mainstream and they glorify it as if its the best thing ever but ignore the anime that come out that are actually amazing such as frieren for example this season. There are people that say JJK is best anime of the season or the year but they didn't watch anything else because they dick ride on the mainstream anime only. Those people are the people I actually find irritating and like trolling and hating on. I don't have much of a problem with fans of mainstream anime as long as they give others a fair shot instead of just being a sheep and following the other sheep because its the "popular" thing to do. Its honestly unfair how shonen jump shows can get 10 times or more the amount of attention and popularity while amazing 10/10 anime get skipped by people because it isn't winning in the popularity with views and people generally talking about it. I also just hate mainstream shonen jump because its the same shit over and over again and I am tired of it. The characters and writing styles of shonen jump manga are just boring to me. They are not mature and follow the same format. I could go on and on about this stuff but I would just take my comments as trolling instead of taking them super serious

2023-12-29 05:04:59 +0000 UTCHere's how I see it: people watch reactions because they likely want to see others enjoying the things they are into, right? For some, it might just be about the show, while for others, it could be because they enjoy how a character is written. Personally, I don't see the point in trying to persuade someone to like my favorite character, but that doesn't make me more mature than those who do. Everyone watches these reactions for their own personal enjoyment. So, if they feel the need to vent about why you should like their character, let them. You also don't need to cater to them either. Being authentic is more important than caving into some insults.

2023-12-29 05:01:56 +0000 UTCI personally watch reaction videos because I enjoy hearing other peoples perspectives and opinions. Whether that be on the show, specific characters, plot points etc. I think some people get so emotionally invested to a point that no one else is allowed to feel differently than them and that their opinion is absolute. I remember a while back Re:animated was getting shit because they didn’t Immediately take a liking to a character from a show they were reacting to at the time. It was so bad people were literally coming to their common sections spoiling the show. It’s crazy the length people will go over something so trivial. It doesn’t allow people to have a natural reaction which is the entire point of reaction videos😭.

2023-12-29 04:52:34 +0000 UTCMany times I have watched a show and didn't like a character or judged them in the beginning. They go through a character arc, emotional growth, personal development.. and then I get attached. Who doesn't love it when someone overcomes their flaws? This change is something people root for because we all want to overcome our weaknesses. My guess is it's also what makes the character relatable, so disliking them feels like a personal attack to some...? I will also say that some people who police reactions to a character may have forgotten their own first-time experience watching the show. They are speaking from a point of view where they have full knowledge of the storyline and dismiss the fact that you only know part of the story. Some people need to ask themselves: did you immediately like character when you first watched the show? Also.. it's okay to not like a character.. everyone experiences life differently and the outcome of that is we do not have the same thoughts and beliefs. It is not the end of the world (unless you have effed up morals of course.. in that case gtfo lol). Maybe I feel more connection with a different character than someone else does because I do not have the same life they do :)

2023-12-29 04:52:29 +0000 UTCI don't particularly hate you but your reply to me lived rent free in my head cause you were judging my taste for being too mainstream. I don't feel bad for liking mainstream stuff but every now and then I'll start debating how stupid the comment was to myself. I'm looking forward to more of your insanity

2023-12-29 04:50:47 +0000 UTCI have accepted that I am just a hater of some things. No point in denying my nature. On patreon I have come across twitter level snowflakes who get offended at everything. The number of times I have been told to "chill" even when its not really a negative comment just continues to fuel my trolling and hate comments.

2023-12-29 04:45:19 +0000 UTCmaybe people are just over enthusiastic about an anime. I have done this before with a friend about a show i really loved ended up spoiling too much and they ended up never watching the show. So I never did it again.

2023-12-29 04:44:57 +0000 UTCThe intention behind my comments is to see how many people I can get to hate me and see how many people fall for a shit talk trolling. At the end of the day I tend to have shitty takes and I come off as a mainstream shonen jump hater cause I am a hater of that trash. JJK on the top of my hate list this season. Just how it is :)

2023-12-29 04:42:24 +0000 UTCPersonally I only dislike and try to correct when an opinion is based on incorrect interpretations of information. Other than that I don’t really care to correct.

2023-12-29 04:41:39 +0000 UTCEverybody wants their opinions validated, just by nature. The more significant the opinion is to the commenter, the stronger their emotional response will be if they don't hear what they want to hear. I don't think at the end of the day people really want to coach you. They just want you to agree with them in general so that they don't have to consider challenges to their opinions.

2023-12-29 04:39:07 +0000 UTCPeople often have strong attachments to their opinions, a trait influenced by various psychological and social factors. Human intelligence is complex, and while it can lead to remarkable achievements, it also makes us susceptible to errors in judgment. The feeling of threat when others disagree with us might be linked to our instinct for social cohesion and community building, which has been important in our evolution. Social media introduces an unprecedented scale of interaction and disagreement, which can be challenging for individuals used to forming connections based on shared beliefs. Basically, blame the human brain. Humans want other humans to agree with them. It's why social bubbles/echo chambers form online. Anger is the most prevalent emotion on social media. Be aware of all this and avoid getting overwhelmed by negativity.

2023-12-29 04:30:12 +0000 UTCI believe it more the fact that people want to relate to your enjoyment of the specific character, and it becomes a bonus when you start talking about the characters in question. Lets say you like byakuya, personally me seeing you enjoy byakuya’s character makes me enjoy the reactions even more since im also a byakuya fan. I hope i wasn’t rambling😅

2023-12-29 04:29:02 +0000 UTCI think people are too passionate about what they love. I personally like it when the initial reaction is genuine. Cause when you come around to the characters it's a better pay off. Nagatoro's friends was a beautiful emotional roller-coaster 😂
