my fucking god i wish more people realized liking something and it being good are NOT mutually exclusive.

if i had a dollar for every fucker i know that thinks because you say something is bad must mean you hate it because you can't like something you are critical of i'd never need to work again.

If you like something that means it has something good in it that outweighs the bad no matter how shallow the good may be its doing something right if you like it.

I like jerking off and eating junk food, but neither of those things could really be considered "good". Some things can give you pleasure without having any other redeeming quality. That's why the phrase "guilty pleasure" exists.
>>
>>148100868
tell that to sao fans, or people who think the endless 8 was actually pretty good.

you can think something is good but upon critical analysis can actually be pretty shit.


one of my favorite shows is this ugly yet beautiful world i enjoy the show immensely but i completely understand its actually shit. i wouldn't even try to argue that its a decent show but i still like it regardless.

But op harem is the best genre tbqhwy. Literally the only reason I watch anime is the cute girls. There's not really any high tier writing better than whats in the west in anime, so the more girls the better

You're comparing health to entertainment, most entertainments quality is subjective so your analogy doesn't work here.

>>148101040
Sure you know about the negatives, but if you enjoyed it then the positives outweighed them, even if the positives are for something shallow the show still fulfilled its purpose of entertaining you. You can still like a show and acknowledge its faults also, I'm not saying that but in the end anime is entertainment and quality of entertainment is subjective so if you were entertained by the show than it should be considered a "good" show to you, to say otherwise and act like all anime quality is objective and you somehow are "critically analyzing" every show you watch only makes you look like a pretentious pseudo-intellectual.

Fuck off and stop infecting every halfway decent plot with this shit. I'm so sick of getting deep into an actually engaging story and then suddenly haremshit out of nowhere.

You also completely devoured the light novel medium. That's 100% haremshit, no exceptions.

Harems piss me off because it's a bunch of great girls all getting taken by one stupid japanese manlet who is such a fucking faggot he isn't even grateful for them. How the hell nips insert as someone like that I don't know.

I feel like I'm getting NTR'd by a clueless gay guy when I watch harems, and I do not like that at all.

I'm sorry but doesn't that define Harem itself?
