Why do half the profiles on MAL have like 800 anime watched, but all the anime fans you meet and see irl are a bunch of casuals? I don't get it. Where do these people come from?

>>284639090Aren't they usually third world seamonkeys?
>>284639028people with MAL profiles are not the average anime watcher
>>284639836Has that always been true? Even in the 2000s?
>>284639872still true, although the avg 2000 anime watcher was probably more intense than the average 2025 anime watcher
>>284639028because the vast majority of anime fans are not autistic enough to need a spreadsheet to keep track of the 5-10 anime they have watched.
>>284639939Oh ok, I must be super autistic then. I NEED to watch 1000+ anime and read 500 + manga and still learn Japanese on top of it. And I'll still be watching in 20 years.
>>284639028I don't reveal my powerlevel in public. Ever. I don't want to hear how CSM is ""peak"" and this kind of shit. I don't think that opinion of other anime fans is valuable, really.Also, I don't interact with anime fans, fandoms, con goers and general western otaku sphere. I don't like these kind of outgoing people.
>>284640016You're toxic
>>284640065I'm slippin under
>>284640121I bet they love that one at the retirement home
>>284639028I find the reviewers who feel the need to write essays mildly amusing. Who is going to read all that shit
>>284641134It's actually infinitely preferable to video reviews.
>MAL thread>normalfag threadkill yourself
>>284639028I don't spend much time irl
>>284641149Well considering the people on MAL consistently watched hundreds of titles, I'd say its the least normalfag place to talk about anime. Maybe even more than here.
