STUPID Anime Tropes

[@anonisnoone6125]

Nick's take on lolis is the most sensible one. One of the few tropes I hate the most is girls hitting guys for no reason at all even if the problem is the girl's fault is one of the most obnoxious, annoying tropes to exist. And the fact that the guys just take it and never stand up for themselves or hit back makes it even worse.

[@coolguy10221]

i fully agree, it mostly happens in trashy harem/romance anime, but whenever i see a guy in an anime take a bath or go to the bathroom completely alone and in peace, and then a girl walks in, gets embarrassed and flustered and then proceeds to assault him because she saw him in there is really annoying.

[@jonathancrespo3274]

again, it depends on how mature the loli is. If she acts like shes 1000 years old, than its whatever; crushing on her isnt really weird cuz she is, for all intents and purposes, an adult. but if shes "1000" years old, but acts like a literal fucking baby, thats sus af. Adults with childlike appearances exist and deserve physical intimacy as well; but adults who ACT like legitimate children are just that: children in adult bodies. And thats sus af to be attracted to.

[@makotoyuki9760]

I hate it too. That's why I avoided Zero no Tsukaima so much because of that trope.

Kinda agree with the loli take, comparing liking cute anime girls to literally jeffrey epstein is very out of touch with the reality of what actual predators do

[@Cleocyde]

these people will see a 6"4' woman with triple D cups in a recent anime and call you a pedo for liking her because the wiki says she's 17, but then they'll watch fairy tail or bleach and say "it's different because it was normal when it came out", it's seriously worrying

[@bruisy_591]

Lolis are literally an extension of child pornography tho The production of child pornography was only banned in Japan in 1999 And the posession of it only banned in 2014 However, explicit child porno is still allowed in animation and manga And that's the origin of Lolis, literally People only get called predators when they're caught, that's why images matter Japan is still considered one of the world centres for the exchange and consumption of images of child sexual abuse. So it's very lucrative to bring it to other media, in a way that allows the viewer to indulge in the narrative that a relationship/sex with a child can be consensual and valid (like "she's not a child, she's 1000 yo") And the presence of Lolis in Shonen (that by definition has an audience composed of teenage boys) is very dangerous because it helps shape their perception of things. Some (hopefully the majority) grow out of it, some don't.

And yes, there are people out the that very proudly justify their attraction to a child-looking character based off their canon age. Cmon, "lolis" are brought into stories to attract a very specific group of people. Think of it as a selling point. OBVIOUSLY there's people who unironicaly eat it up, and jerk off to them or hentai of them. That's literally their purpose, it makes the show/manga more lucrative.

Just 'cause someone's short and flat, doesn't mean they're a child. That kinda person is gonna look "child-like" in an anime artstyle, because anime characters don't look like real people.

Being into short, flat women, doesn't make someone a paedophile and purists need to stop being weird

[@jonathancrespo3274]

of all the 1000 year old lolis in anime, they always for some reason choose Seven Deadly Sin's blond loli chick, which would be fine if she also, yk, WASNT A FAIRY. Usually fairies and elves are depicted as very youthful, so its kind of dumb to criticize a anime for making a fairy look like a fairy. Literally there was a whole demon lord loli chick with damn near lingerie in How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord, but nah; lets choose the one instance that actually makes sense💀💀💀

He also doesn't seem to understand the difference in proportions of a child and a short adult. Elaine has proportionally long & thin limbs and her face is not child like when you put it up next to most of the characters in the show.

[@Sarah_34210]

Yeah but what I don’t get for seven deadly sins is that the blonde girl could easily shapeshift into an adult but the animators chose to keep her in that “childlike” body, altho the fairy king dude literally changes his body to an adult all the time..someone explain this to me please.

[@JaydenMoran-gj5fy]

Probably easier for day to day plus ban is probably more into her personality and the fact that his goal when he met her was to be immortal having someone who might as well be immortal as a companion is attractive Elaine probably transforms for…fun time though

[@KFP_Prophet]

Very based take on lolis, from what i've seen anti-loli's tend to be a far greater danger to children by being creeps, sex offenders, groomers, doxxers, pdfiles, etc themselves - and even when they aren't, they're often still hypocrites who like loli's or equivalent themselves, and tend to devalue terms by misusing them. The fact that there have been *multiple* incidents of CSA victims being sent CSEM of *themselves* by antis over loli is very tellling. My least favourite trope is probably unnecessary love triangles - there is almost always a completely obvious solution. Three people in love with each other? Two people into one person who returns/wants to return both of their feelings? Poly relationship. Two people in love with each other and a third character who is into one of them? Reject the third character. Etc.

[@Cleocyde]

the one thing I don't like isnt even the tropes themselves, it's people who saw 12 nekketsu series, 1 romance and 3 thrillers in their life complaining about stuff they don't even understand. if you knew the number of times Ive been called a pedophile over saying "this character is cute" by these people, I'm legitimately worried about them, like they're so far gone they think fiction is the same as reality, it's seriously worrying

Goddamn I just love that Nick always has the right opinions and isn't afraid to preach the truth. I think that it is also important if you can differentiate. For example you find Elaine hot but do you also find Anya hot? Their ages show in their behaviour. And anime characters usually don't have such detailed facial features. So most of the time you can't tell their age based on how they look. More like what they wear and their behaviour. So I just think sometimes people are just looking for reasons to cancel other people and also like making things dramatic for the views

They just get - understandibly - vocal at a lot of the slanderous if not entirely fucked up things a lot of anti-lolicons do, often hypocritically. It's very telling that there have been *multiple* cases of CSA victims being sent their own CSEM, told they deserved it, etc by antis, that there have been so many cases of anti-lolis being hypocrites, sex pests and pedophiles that there are archives documenting them and that the vast majority of anti-lolis tend to be into equally if not more fucked up stuff like shota, beastiality, guro, etc.

How if she looks 5 and you find that hott you’re a pedo

[@benboothroyd1523]

The issue is people who are sexually attracted to those characters like the one in 7DS. My principle is: if you are attracted to the body of a child, real or fictional, that makes you, at the very least, mentally ill. Because you are not attracted to people in adult bodies, which is what we’ve accepted in society as the norm, the standard, and for good reason: children are undeveloped mentally and physically. The only argument I really ever hear against this position is: ‘It’s fictional. It’s a drawing. No one is being harmed’. Ok… let’s use the example of hyper realistic drawings. If there is a hyper realistic drawing, or someone uses AI software to create a video, of a child in a sexualised manner, is it still ‘just a drawing’? Technically yes - but there emerges a moral issue in that you are finding sexual pleasure from the images of children in a 1:1 replication of reality. You are one step away from being a pedo - that step would be procuring real CP material. So, should that barrier (reality vs fiction) prevent people from being called mentally ill; as I’ve said above? I don’t think so. If the content is the same (CP), but the context is different (fictional vs reality), a supporter of this ‘Loli’ trope would say: the fictionality makes it okay to find sexually attractive. I would say: the content is still akin (using my hyper-realism example) to CP. the context is immaterial because you’re finding material substantively identical to real CP sexually stimulating. And that makes you mentally ill or a pedo.

[@bruisy_591]

In my opinion, the problem is more in the production than in the consumption. A young looking character being mature is a problem because it allows the viewer to indulge the narrative that sex with them would be consensual And a sexualized mature looking character being young, often with young character traits/personality, is a problem because it allows the viewer to sexualize their behavior/personality (like being immature, bratty, innocent, vulnerable to manipulation or just child-like traits), while having the sexy looks, having "the best of both worlds" Both things are intently done so the viewers would indulge in them, so it's no surprise that people would like it (although it's not ideal) The bigger problem is the large-scale production of media with these things, being normalized worldwide Companies (like magazines or anime producers) will do anything that's lucrative, no matter how harmful it is, that's why legislation is crucial But the production of child pornography was only banned in Japan in 1999, and the posession of it only banned in 2014 To this day there is a loop-hole in Japan's law that allows explicit child pornography in animation or manga People are discussing this topic in a surface level, focusing only in the consumers, when it really trades back to how historically permissive Japan is with fvcked up shit (like pedophilia) And ppl worldwide are eating it up

Since most people (and most loli/shota consumers) can separate fiction from reality, that argument falls flat.

[@banditimaclubyou8388]

Lolis in real life are a lot of Asian women though. And I know a lot of people that are married to these girls that are in their 20s - 30s but look like they can potentially look as young as 14.

@@NotFanti then you either don't see why it's bad or you havent gotten that far yet. at some point, lucy ends up naked because an ennemy blew at her and it ripped all her clothes off. it just gets unnecessarily fanservice-y for no reason other than "lucy naked haha funny"

[@user-cs2sn9ck4m]

Ok, I actually agree with the loli trope being quite annoying, I would be okay with it if they look like adults that acts like a child, but the trope of lolis is just really annoying in my opinion

[@mezias00]

"At least make it some type of sense?" its an animated/fictional show, it doesnt need to make sense, she is not even a human, she is an fairy a fictional being. I like to quote Akatsuki from Log Horizon on that one: "Games are fun because you can do things you couldnt in real life, right?", but in this case its "Animes/Fantasys/Storys are fun, because you can see/hear/create things you couldnt in real life"

[@Nav-se4pg]

Well in the purgatory ban did age like centuries so yeah technically elaine-ban have less age gap at the end of anime

[@official_ninjadoc]

I must say in the last 3 years or so... The power of friendship is getting seriously nerfed. There have been a lot of scenes where the heroes get hyped and then just get their asses handed to them. And with the rest I more or less don't agree. Actually the same opinions Nick has for the other ones.

[@clipsofstreamhere6719]

I don't like lolis but his arguments about them are weak, for example if she was a milf who looks 35 years old but is actually 1000 years old, would that be any different from a loli? What I mean is that you may not like them, but trying to justify what you don’t like with such weak arguments is driving yourself into a dead end.

[@LeonNeon20]

Interesting opinion but it doesn’t relate to Nick’s opinion about how the term child predator value is lost

[@killer_ghost18]

A loli is a character that looks underage, and has a childlike appearance, but is actually a lot more older than they look. So a milf that is 1000+ years old would not qualify as a loli.

[@shinkaiatsuya950]

​@@killer_ghost18 A milf is a mother someone finds attractive, a loli is a body type. A woman that has the body type of a loli and has a kid is both

[@killer_ghost18]

​@@shinkaiatsuya950 Yet, in your first argument, you said "if she was a milf that looks 35 years old but is actually 1000 years old, would that be any different from a loli?" I was just going off on what you said right there.

[@clipsofstreamhere6719]

@@killer_ghost18 ok, I’ll write it verbatim: what if she were NOT a LOLI, who is 1000 years old, but she looks 8 years old. Let's say she was a MILF, who is also 1000 years old, but looks 35 years old. What's the difference if you can't determine her real age this way or that?

The characters designs in most anime are done that way as a part of their character representation And if he's offended to this extent by just fictional character then something's wrong with him bruh 😂😂 Your take on this video was amazing man.

the whole reason i came to anime was power of friendship in yugioh I loved that trop so much and still do it great trop and i will always support it

[@tarugga7131]

Its kind of funny, I actually noticed recently you can kind of tell which manga are written by woman, cause there is so much less fan service. Also he talks about how naruto doesn't change his clothes, but that's kind of the point he doesn't have enough money to get new one and has to fix them why they tare.

[@devaraft]

Bro said every romance anime but pick the worst one as example. Kaguya sama? Komi san? My dress up darling? Tomo chan? Out of all popular romance anime he had to pick the worst one and act as if it's all of them are like that

[@MAni04me]

4:32 I mean she is also a fairy and they age differently from people.

[@sarmadhabibkhan3036]

I have two things to say about Nick's take on Lollies. 1. On one hand, I agree that we shouldn't accuse people of being predators without any evidence 2. On the other hand, why the fuck would anyone who isn't a predator be attracted to a Lollie? If you like 18+ women in real life, you will most likely be attracted to characters like Nami & Robin instead of characters like Nezuko or any girl from MHA.

[@aidanwhite3769]

All W takes, only trope I've found myself actually annoyed at is the random lesbian in a harem that within 2 or 3 episodes falls for the guy - there was no reason for them to be a lesbian at all, main offender being Date A Live. I'm fine with yuri, not my thing but I'm fine with it if it's there but then there's also the random girl that's way to clinging and constantly going on about how much they love another girl (Usually their senpai and/or the main characters love interest) and it just adds some forced drama or feels dumb, Main offender being Horimiya (By the end I didn't hate her but it was still annoying), Aokana used it pretty well in the Visual Novel and said senpai-obsessed character was my 2nd or 1st favourite (haven't finished) cause she was developed really well and isn't just annoying to the MC for no reason but that's the only exception I've seen and it's probably cause they have to make her having a route make sense. Edit: I like when this guy showed the list from his loli rant on his romance rant when fucking Yuru Camp was there

[@techyougo]

The romance one is the most dumb. He's talking about shonen romance. Shoujo Romance is so unique

[@theduggening3061]

Honestly the way this video sounds to me is "Im an anime fan who hates anime". As an anime fan myself i have noticed a lot of other "anime fans" seem to be able to very confidently spew their opinions. Ill throw in a gripe of my own though, sometimes the pervert characters they add can get really annoying for me as i dont like simps, I grew to love Jiraya and I like Sanji and Mineta despite this but there are other pervert characters that have pissed me off. One show in particular was Ranma 1/2 with an old man pervert who actually went around stealing underwear regularly. I do get frustrated a bit when the women in anime are so quick to punch one of the characters but for me it translates to liking the women who are confident in their body and that a person accidentally seeing doesnt evoke a violent response. That is teenager shit i would say.

[@HenryNwanegbo]

Seriously he talks like he is somekind of anime hater

[@Arraz05]

You should try watching the dangers in my heart its probably the best romance anime I've recently watched

[@MathiasE80]

Stupid sample of a loli though considering Elaine was pretty much made to look like the typical mythos of what a fairy is, a magical creature with child like features.

[@TheGoldenEra_4547]

I understand what this guy is saying but conflicting fiction with non-fiction are completely different. Nick's take is based I actually think the same way as Nick does BASED.

bruh... I hate this dude, he's like "oh, it's so bad, call the cops" then proceeds to show them kissing and hugging... 5:45 I don't know why I'm getting pissed... anyway, I totally agree with you, labeling people because of a drawing would make the word lose all meaning, sort of like what's happening with racism in the past few years, W take

[@CHONGWENYUMoe]

although elaine is 1000 years old but she is a fairy and you know fairy live much longer than human, that means 1000 years old for fairy is very young, 1000 years old in fairy i think equal 10-15 years old in human, sooo....

[@cuterose4640]

That romance take was dumb, i would have agreed if he was taking about isekai or harem animes but romance in general, I'd say the only bad trope for alot of them is just the whole miscommunication trope

[@that_g_u_y_]

Shounen… do you guys even know what that means?? It’s for young dudes. That’s the point of it, so they obviously wanna make relatable young male characters for the target audience. Those characters carry all the fights and stuff in the damn show. Of course a really good female character is enjoyable every now and then and it makes for a decent story, but if that isn’t present in a “shounen” anime, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. The useless lead female character is a thing because most of the good moments are taken up by the lead male characters. Whenever the female characters pop off that’s just bonus. If you wanna watch something where the female characters are that important, look at anime that don’t have a target audience of 12 year old boy and if you don’t wanna switch up genres so badly then commit to having to look for the rare occasion cause you’re looking in the wrong place

[@ijya6413]

Well, i'm not really a "loli" but there is a bunch of females like me who looks realy young. I'm 33 with husband and a child, and last week, I opened a door to a worker who was hired for fixing that door AND he asked me if there were my parents at home LOL. It hapens to me often. Even my distant family at my wedding (I was 25) asked me why I am in such a hurry to get married, becouse they assumed I'm max 18 years old. I'm Polish and I personally know at least 4 other girls with the same problem. They just don't act "girly" or "child-like" like real loli would.

[@user-zq5dh6jr8n]

Unused side characters, many times one piece had done this. i will give you and example veldora from tensura, even after befriending him. rimuru didnt use him, cuz he was overpowered. Buu from dragon ball super. is another greatest example they never use. bros entire screen time "zzZ" hawkeye is a usopp in avengers. lowkey they are useless. but will come in clutch some time.

[@ialwayscom3back242]

[@eosanjayrao7128]

gojo💀 20:00

[@nathanmcclung3564]

Ok so I feel I need to say a few things in regards to the video. First of all the only time I have an issue with loli is when the character is meant to be a child in the series like anya. When it comes to other characters that cannonly are of age I do not see it as a problem, because lets face it even taking the idea that it is just a drawing out of the equation the guy you are reacting to fails to realize that even irl short stacks exist. Guess the 4ft to 5ft girls I know that are in their 30s should not date simply because they look a little too young. Also Elaine in the seven deadly sins is a fairy which as I am sure people would know are short in general and live a long long time compared to humans. When it comes to telling people your skills yeah I would agree with that. Romance well I feel people do not think that asking people out and all is not as easy as they guy wants you to think it is especially if you was already friends. It can take quite a while for two people to hook up especially if the setting is not exactly ideal for it. Also I feel people are too hard on sakura. Can we for a second actually acknowledge the fact that unlike sasuke and naruto she does not have any special powers like a demon fox or special eyes for which to take advantage of and that out of the series compared to all the other characters including hinata she has done far more than any of them. Like how many of the akatsuki did any of them beat, how many times did any of them save the main character... yeah none of them. If you really want the most useless character in naruto it would probably be ino as she is mostly just discount sakura with mind powers. Next is fanservice which guys lets be honest if you dislike fanservice then shonen anime is not for you. The entire point of shonen anime or should I say the audience of it is teenagers and above and while I can agree that there are times that it is over the top even in there just having it is not an automatic self destruct button.

[@Zzzoro92]

Watch "school babysitters" it's adorable anime

[@corruptedsrechtesbein1812]

the most unnecessary one was the clothes one. Dude, why would someone give a character 1000 different clothes to wear? Sure, some anime do it but the clothes are part of the design, who fucking cares? lol

[@roel2787]

I will say and will say again. Tsundere is my most hated anime trope. Period. No erase. I despise tsunderes and will despise tsunderes until the end of time.
