What are the four dreaded tags on an anime/manga?

Romance, isekai, slice of life, yuri

harem, isekai, uh depending on the site webtoon is a tag for "manga", based on a novel
>>
>>282816215
I said tags, not hags
>>
>>282816163
for me it's
>isekai
>longstrip
>webcomic/twitter "series"
>otome
and as a bonus "tag", anything that has a fucking triple-tier dependent clause title, "i got bored with my life as a superpowered princess so i recincarnated willingly into another life and now i'm a 6th generation fighter jet so i started bombing france?!" fuck off with this shit

For me the 4 biggest turn offs are
>Isekai
>Slice of life
>Harem
>Comedy
I don't know if there's a manga that hits all for but absolutely fuck it if there is.
>>
What's the name for that one thing that Mangaka do when they have a panel or two of all the side characters sucking off the MC
>Wow Senpai sure is awesome!
>He's so strong!
>I can't believe how much better he is than me...
>Intelligent too!
>I wish I could date him...

It automatically puts a manga down a peg for me, there's got to be better ways of doing this in the universe. Even mid-late Berserk has the party sucking Guts off like this every time he does something.

Most people start watching anime and reading manga as kids because they have better action than western cartoons. It's why DBZ got big in the first place. Even if you grow out of it, you'd still expect the majority to be into it. That's universal, not a Latino thing.

I can excuse it for webtoons to an extent since in manwha I don't have to worry nearly as much about all the women being raging cunts for no reason like they are in manga. Men and women actually interact normally

It's not just about the tags, it's about existence of a particular tag paired with the lack of another one.
Namely, the existence of the Romance tag but lack of the Boys' Love tag.

you're either stupid or being facetious.
yaoi is easy to avoid since gayshit always looks like gayshit. Yuri usually has cute girls (hence why the demographic is mostly men) and obviously if you're browsing just from the covers you'd be attracted to the chicks, only to see 'Yuri' written on the tin and back off.

It's audience overlap. Both are for straight men. Obviously yaoifags won't care about harems where girls are the main attraction. You're also deluded if you think all the complaints about male MCs come from yurifags. Most of them come from people who want better male MCs because face it, modern harem/romcom male MCs suck.

You might be onto something. Some of these answers are not reflective of /a/'s tastes as a whole. Ninkoro ended up having yuri and became one of the most beloved shows of the season. Kowloon's surprise yaoi killed it. Also, /a/ hating slice of life? Really?
>>
Bear in mind, it's the combination of all four at once that makes it the absolute worst. Each one should compound the other. That being said,
>Isekai
>Weakest Protagonist
>Gets Cheat Skill
>After Getting Kicked Out Of The Party
is probably the answer.

It's funny how much hate isekai gets when there are a lot of great isekai anime, every genre has a lot of shit anime in it. I like isekai because there are almost no other anime with proper fantasy settings

>Some of these answers are not reflective of /a/'s tastes as a whole

I feel like most people are just posting random tags they don't like. The point is supposed to be about 4 tags that appear together on the low quality type of shows that are ubiquitous every season.

I call it Focal Glazing , it's a cheap tactic to hype up the focused character's actions as grandiose and awe worthy and draw viewer attention to it. It's using the same principal as a pause with laugh tracks after a joke in a sitcom.
A psychological maneuver abusing the human tendency to go along with what others feels.

The other anon's complain of mooks stupidly challenging character obviously way more powerful than them and Pikachu facing when it doesnt work is another variation of this.

It's why I find 95% of anime to be absolute trash not worthy of attention. None of their authors seem capable of genuine human emotion and use cheap narrative manipulations like these to mark important moments like the soulless bugmen they are.

Ironically only Jojo does it well cause it does it to comedic effect.

Isekai Slice of Life (the most common combo) is all wish-fulfillment slop where the MC hangs out with his magical waifu and does nothing interesting.
Slice of Life Rom-Coms are 99% aimless baitfests where they drag on for 200 chapters and nothing ever fucking happens and they end with the first kiss after jerking you around for years.

There are good slice of life comedies out there, but that hasn't been a tag combo people are complaining about for a reason.
