ironically this is the most pointless post in the discussion
nobody actually thinks that their opinion is a fact, just that it's right
and if you don't think that your opinions are right, then I don't really know what to say
ecael tends to put things very bluntly and honestly, but that's part of the reason why I like reading his posts

Thats why people hate Gundam SEED, so sure.

Poor Eca, the opinion police are after him this time. "Someone is saying a different opinion than mine?! Thats just an opinion, guy, stop saying it! Please! I can't handle reading it!"

Hello, fellow ADTers.

After I finish these last two episodes of Bakuman, I will be at 499 completed anime. I would like to enlist your help in choosing what my 500th completed anime should be from a small sample.

Thanks~

It's like people insulting Justin Bieber. Just don't listen to his musics and it's done. But some people, much like some born again Christians or any other religious fanatics, feel the urge to convert others to their cause.

People get pissy because sometimes people word their opinions fairly strongly for absolutely no reason and that offends those who liked whatever is getting shit on.

I don't see why people care so much anyway. Who the hell cares if someone in this thread calls an anime trash. Everyone's opinion really only matters to themselves anyway so why bother caring if someone calls something you like trash.

Why bother caring at all then? Obviously if you care enough you'll get annoyed. If you didn't care then you wouldn't bother responding in the first place. What's the point of a discussion thread if people are just going to ignore each other because they don't give a fuck?

I'm talking about getting offended. Sure you can have discussions based off those differing opinions but getting offended is useless. If I have already watched and formed my own opinion of a show why would it matter what others say about it? I only care about peoples opinions on shows I haven't seen yet.

One gets offended if they feel emotionally invested enough in a matter, is there anything wrong with that? Good for you if you feel nothing about what other people think of a certain subject, but is there any reason to tell people not to bother?

I wasn't really telling them now was I? This thread gets mucked up over these types of issues constantly and I simply stated that I don't get why people do this over and over again.

You mean that you think that other people should also care less about the matter, like you, and not bother with it? That's just as preachy you realize.

If you actually don't care then you can just not bother reading. There is some addon which allows you to block out users' posts, there is also just not reading the thread. At the point of posting and pointing it out you are already trying to force your opinion through.

Stating your opinion doesn't make you "preachy" or "trying to force your opinion through". Its stating it, people can agree or disagree and even respond to it if they want to. That's a discussion that can turn into a debate if two sides can't agree. Its different from arguing for something you like vs being defensive/offended and arguing. It shapes the language of the posts considerably that get increasingly offensive until it cools down. This cycle continues endlessly in this thread.

I also didn't say people shouldn't care but that I don't get why they get worked up and drawn into these arguments over someone elses opinion. The issue is getting offended, not that there can't be any debate.

Because sometimes, we are not having a discussion and I believe this to be the key issue here. I'm pretty sure a discussion takes place when both party engage in talking with mutual respect. Of course, this is Internet, so it's really hard to know what others are really trying to say. Some people are used to type really fast and won't check their sentences before posting. Some people are actively trying to troll or to provoke others. Or perhaps some people are not able to formulate their ideas in a way that will not provoke others. OR, some people may just be too sensitive.

You can say something like : I don't like Angel Beats because X Y Z reasons. Or I think it is a bad anime for the same reason. This can be a positive discussion about an anime.

But if you say : Angel Beats is trash... X person has bad tastes... because of how you articulate your opinion, some people will get angry because they genuinely enjoyed the show and because they are attached to it, they will feel the need to defend it.

Of course, some people will get mad for the slightest reason, but I believe it is not the case.

Also, I wasn't arguing for the end of all discussion. I was merely saying that if you disagree with someone and you realize there's nothing else to do, then there's no point in continuing. For example, if a friend genuinely enjoy Justin Bieber, I will sincerely disagree. If nothing else, let's just agree about our disagreement. I won't try to convert her to my beliefs ; neither will she because we respect each other's choices.

I'm pretty sure most of us enjoy the ADT (if not, why would we be here?). I'm also confident that this can be a better a place if we actually put some effort into posting constructive posts. OF course, we are all slackers and will usually reply only partially, which can lead to misunderstanding..
