Hey! 👋 Some of you may know me and some of you may not. But yeah, this is the first article I'm making so it might not be that good. But anyways, on to the topic here!

For a while now, everything here on the Anime Club has been peaceful ☮, but that all changes when one topic is brought up: opinions on what we dislike. By that I mean which anime series/character we dislike the most. And while I don't really have a problem with these types of questions or others opinions, it's the way some people word their opinions. And the reactions. Instead of just stating their opinion, some tend to insult and trash-talk on something and maybe also those who like those types of things. And while it isn't as bad as in other sites are (trust me, I've been there 😨), if this keeps going on, it'll turn into a chaotic club like other sites already are. We're still in time to keep that from happening.

But in order for that to happen, people need to stop with the insults. Some just mindlessly call series/characters things such as 'overrated', 'useless', and 'terrible' simply because they don't like it. Or maybe because said series is popular (such as One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, DBZ, etc.) and some people are just followers jumping on a bandwagon. To me, that is just immature -_- By the way, speaking of 'overrated', there's this really good article by zanhar1 that explains an analysis on that term. People nowadays blindly use the term without really knowing much about it. Here it is right here:

I'm not trying to force down my opinion down anyones throat nor am I saying I am completely innocent in this. In the past I've also said some things I probably shouldn't have and used those exact terms too. But I was young & clueless and have realized that is not the way to solve problems. That's why I moved here on Fanpop to start all over again. All I'm doing is stating MY opinion. If anyone here wants to join me, then good. If not, then I can't force you to. Everyone has their own opunion and choices. I know that I can't change everything on here. Afterall, I'm just 1 person in what? 28,000 something people? But I know that if each person tries to be more tolerable and not rage or bash on things, then it will work!

Not trying to sound cheesy or anything, but if we all just try to be a little more tolerant towards others opinions, then there will be one less problem to worry about. It's not cool to say "This series/character sucks" or "I don't care" or any of that stuff. Not everyone is gonna have the same opinion as us and we're going to have to respect that! If you really 'hate' something, then just rage about it in a private place with a group of people who agree and not in public. That would just start a flame 🔥 war. I would suggest to RESPECTFULLY state your opinion on what you dislike when asked in public. Don't treat others bad or unimportant because they like something you don't!

Woah, I sure wrote a lot for my first article! :O
From now on, I'm going to start to act out what I wrote and ignore any haters that might come my way. Maybe warn them once if it gets too bad. The rest is up to ya'll. Afterall, there will always be haters in our lives. We can't get rid of them completly. Haters gonna hate.

Well I gotta go now. My fingers are getting tired. Until next time! I'm out! See ya!
