No, not really. If you are one of them I probably have read it, but you would be among tons and tons of others.

The people I have problems with are the people that constantly bash the genre/demographic, and for some reason think that they are experts on every single title within it, even though they have obviously not seen it all.

They think that they have the right to judge and hate on every single title that's Shounen just after they've seen a few.

It sounds like they'd be trolls, but I swear that some of them are dead serious. They instantly label the Big 3 (One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach) as "trash" and the "worst titles ever".

They can dislike them all they want, really... But to claim that they are the worst thing ever is just a tad absurd. And I seriously doubt too many of these people have even given the titles a chance. If they haven't that's fine and their choice, but to go around acting like they know everything about them and act like they actually have a real opinion is just ridiculous.

I can't help like feeling that a lot of these people are just listening to other people's opinions and taking them for themselves. And that is what annoys me. I understand how it happens, it's happened to me, but now I'm desperately trying to avoid such "assumed" opinions.

I mean seriously, if I would have listened to other people's opinions of One Piece and not given it a chance I would have been missing out on something which would have brought about a great deal of entertainment, and that would be sad.

I'm sorry, I'm just annoyed with this. You could say that it's because I like One Piece. But seriously I'll defend Bleach and Naruto from these kind of people even. I'm not a big fan of either series, but blind hatred is bad for anything. It's come to the point where I'll defend pretty much anything that gets a lot of hatred that I don't feel is 'real'.

If you don't like the Shounen you've seen there's nothing wrong with that, but that's a moment where you just think "Maybe it's not for me.", or better yet "I just haven't seen anything all of that appealing yet.", but trust me labeling an entire genre "trash" isn't going to get anybody anywhere. Especially not yourself.

(And I'm not saying that you do this. I don't remember your posts, so I don't know. lol)

I'm just saying this because I used to be there, and it really did temporarily keep me from enjoying several things that I would have otherwise. The mind is a powerful thing, and if we want to convince ourselves that something is bad, it definitely will seem that way to us. There are flaws in everything, if you're looking for them, they will always be there to find.

We can't choose the things that will greatly appeal to us, but I do believe that oftentimes whether we hate something or not is strongly influenced by how we set our minds going into it.

Although all of this may sound naive, I know that is quite often the truth. And I know that hating a genre in its entirety is not ever a good thing.

Also I'd be shocked if anybody actually reads all of that. xD
