The problem with elitism is that it becomes popular; making the followers into actual plebs. How can you be elite, if you are the majority?
That youtube video is completely on point and this board is full of half wits.

I know you love to call the people you disagree with you outsiders, but the problem with /a/ is you. Every posting style that /a/ has developed memetically is unfunny and obnoxious. You can find better discussion in youtube comments, and most of /a/ is best girl flame wars and fawning over softcore porn. You assume your board is a paradise and redirect anybody who doesn't fit in to /v/. You belong to both the dumbest and most pretentious board on this site. You are misguided. You think you are protecting something valuable when you are only fitting in to delusional groupthink. The project of your life is a vapid wasteland, a glitzy casino made of recycled water bottles, a treasured nothing. You will believe you've won an argument when I stop responding. You are an idiot and belong in the prison you built out of strangers.

But when digi says 4chan once everyone starts making stealth threads and shit.
>>528134
Digibro has shite taste himself.
Even the best shonen out there is 7/10 at best and generally have lazy writing and animation since the producers have to stretch the shit out for 50-150 episodes.
My favorite anime ever is FLCL and it has better visual direction, animation and writing than anything he has on his 3x3.

That is a really good 3x3. I don't get why people are making fun of him?
>>528882
The only thing that has any artistic merit on his 3x3 is GitS
>>528885
>artistic merit
Get the fuck out of here.
>>528889
People will point and laugh at you if you post a top 10 list of your favorite literature and it's full of YA trash and other garbage. The same applies here.
I find it interesting that the boring 3x3 he listed has the Ghost in the Shell movie while his personal 3x3 has Stand Alone Complex. He's right to like SAC more though; that is the actual good GitS series. The Ghost in the Shell movie is the most overrated thing ever.
>>528891
Well good thing Digibro's 3x3 doesn't have any garbage in it. If you're really going to go for the artistic merit angle, all nine of them fit the bill. I'd say you're pretty AUtistic, though.

Yes, he's right.

>>528134
Very intelligent rant, even if I don't necessarily agree with his opinion of certain shows. So since he's right it's obviously going to make a lot of people on /a/ salty, and people who aren't into anime are going to be like "lol who cares" but if you're that kind of person you really do not matter and should not be in this thread or watching this video.
>>528134
I bet it's all the same faggots who want "serious anime discussion" too.
Such fucking boring people.
I wonder if it's just a fundamental difference in the psychology of users on 4chan. Like some people are looking at everything in the context of how using this site makes them look to others (maybe they want to tell their friends they browse 4chan one day or something?)
and then you have the other group of people that just use the site for their own enjoyment in the moment.
I guess these two types of people will never get along on 4chan.
>>528134
>Everyone's trying to project an image that looks cool, y'know, everyone wants to be someone who no one's going to go: "you like X, ew!"

>>528885
Do you realize how dumb you sound when you say things like that?
Honestly, just think about the purpose of a FAVORITES LIST for a second, and tell me why the hell "artistic merit" is the first thing that came to your mind?
If you think anything is more important than "because I just like it" on a favorites list then that just means you're probably a pretentious hipster.
>>528134
I especially like how he talked about Log Horizon "not looking like a classic." People will look at it and think "Ew, another .hack ripoff like SAO, who cares?" when if you watch it what you really find is a highly detailed economical analysis. So seeing something like that in a 3x3 is interesting because it gets people thinking "Why is it there?". And so they give it a closer look than they would have otherwise.
>>528913
This is so true. Literally the whole point of his video is that people try too hard to look smart because they're scared of what other people will think of them (on a fucking anonymous image board, to boot). The important thing about favorites is that they are things that you, you know, actually love. Instead of just saying "It's my favorite because it makes me look smart."

Just saying "Fucking wrong" without giving a reason why it's wrong makes you look like a complete asshole. Besides, he's right. You have to be legitimately retarded to think shounen is a genre.

Find any of those tropes in >>528928's list. You won't. You won't even try, because you've been backed into a corner and you're going to fire off as many shitposts as you can now.

I didn't know shitposters are this fond of projection. Why don't you explain how those shows are good? It's time to practise what you preach.
For the record, I have a basic knowledge of moon and I can read a lot of those titles. Half the shows on that list are not "shounen" and you resorting to talking about that list just goes to show you're desperate and grasping at straws by arguing semantics and pretending to be retarded. You know perfectly well what people mean when they say shonen and it's definitely not motherfucking nichijou.

A little more than questionable in my opinion, and a lot of people (myself included) think Kill La Kill is pretty shitty.

You completely misunderstood his point.
He wants people to be more genuine with what they enjoy, and stop being afraid of the elitism.
Half the video is him giving a sarcastic example of what "the perfect favorites list" is like, so you probably skipped the part of the video where he made that clear and thought he was being serious.
>>529571
why you would expect someone to watch the second half of a video where the first half is garbage is beyond me

No, I understood his point. He claims his choices are sincere, therefore more ``````ìnteresting``````. This is elitism nonetheless.

>>>/a/141299060
Please fuck off to >>>/ecel/, OP.
>>529615
It's astounding how confusing the concept of "favorites" seems to be for some people.
His video was probably actually going easy on them
An insincere favorites list is technically not even a fucking favorites list at all. You know "favorite" is a relative term right? There's no such thing as an absolute favorites list.
Trying to come up with the best favorites list (which is basically what his video is saying he expects a lot of people are actually doing) just means you're trying to come up with some sort of "best anime list". That's something entirely different from a favorites list.
Also your post here >>529387
was implying he thought his taste was better than everyone elses. You literally wrote that in your greentext. You're changing what you meant by "elitism" now.
>>529651
Interesting, better, the word choice is not relevant; here is a middle aged man reviewing anime, looking down on very specific posters that dont meet his subjective standards to justify his taste in it. To run with the definition on Wikipedia, this is pretty elitist to me, and on top of that extremely masturbatory.
How do you like your thread senpai
>>529665

>>529666

So you're entire point is basically
>trying to tell people to not be elitist makes you elitist
>>529673
No, my point is hes shamelessly promoting himself and trying to act as a true arbiter. He does this while ironically complaining about elitism when hes really just trying to show that these people are false elites, offering himself as a true elite.
It is just this kind of community-politics driven, reactionary bullshit that makes me resent any form of online community.

> The Most Boring Taste In Anime
Not even going to open the link. Tastefags are literal cancer and should kill themselves and I doubt he has any better taste. He is probably the same as most other tastefags and has declared that if it isn't a manime its garbage and your a silly manchild for liking it.
>>529683
Where the hell did you get all that from the video?
I mean, maybe you know the guy better than I do? Do you watch a lot of his videos or something?
Because I know nothing about this guy other than what I just saw in this video and I didn't pick up on any of that crap you just said.
He even says that he could be wrong about it all and that what he's talking about is just a "sense" or a "feeling" that people are really just trying to look cool or something instead of just posting what they actually like. Do you honestly find it hard to believe that people would do that? People do shit like that all the time to try and fit in.
I don't visit those 3x3 threads but if I saw 90% of the people posting nothing but 9 anime that /a/ considers "acceptable" without any odd-balls in there at all then I'd probably also come to the conclusion that most of the people are just bullshitting, or they're really trying to build a "best anime list" like I said before, rather than an actual favorites list.
>>529758
It's just the opposite.
"The most boring taste in anime" according to him is "not having a personal opinion in the first place and just copying the popular opinion".
e.g. he wants to see more people with odd-ball taste showing what they really like instead of being afraid of ridicule.
>>529760
>I don't visit those 3x3 threads but if I saw 90% of the people posting nothing but 9 anime that /a/ considers "acceptable"
Didn't watch the video, but are the 3x3 threads what he is criticizing? If he is, he's retarded. 3x3 threads aren't /a/, they a circlejreking generals by the exact same people posting the same things every time.
>>529775
