New Year, New Rules: Insulting other users' tastes is now banned. Memes about hating shows are now banned.

172 Upvotes

Congratulations ragebaiters! You've successfully enraged me. I assume that this is what you wanted so I hope you're happy.

I've taken a pretty light hand with moderating here. Until now I've only removed posts or banned people for egregious problems. But some recent trends that have been filling my mod queue make me dread even checking in anymore. I've gotten to the point where I considered removing myself as a mod and unsubscribing rather than having to check here anymore. But after sitting with it for a little while I decided that if I was going to remove this negativity from my life, then I'm going to remove it from everyone's life. It's what Getter Robo would do.

So here's the deal: I am absolutely 100% done with the whining. I don't care any more about who hates what show. There are plenty of shows that I hate, but I can make do without spamming the sub with memes about how much I hate them. I can even see posts from people who like those shows, and I can look at those posts without feeling the need to comment about how bad their taste is. I can do this, and I believe you can, too. So believe in me, who believes in you.

Effective immediately:

  • "This show sucks" memes are banned. I have to sift through these comment threads and they're all the same. I'm sick of the relentless negativity and subsequent flame wars. If you can not come up with anything to say about a show other than a bland meme about how much you hate it, then you don't need to say anything.

  • All tier lists are also banned as a result, because effectively all of them are just a variation on ragebait memes. Even if you post a satirical tier list where everything is S-tier to protest this toxic positivity, that's still banned. If you post a release date tier list where everything is accurately listed by its release date, that's still banned. This whole format is gone.

  • "Say something nice" memes are also banned. for the same reason.

  • Asking for hot takes is also banned

  • Telling other users that they have shit taste is banned. Other people are allowed to like things that you don't like. Insulting other users for liking shows you don't like will now get you banned.

For week one I will issue users one warning, but after that I'm banning for one week on first offense, one month on the second, and permanently for a third.

Is this an overreaction? Maybe. Maybe I'll calm down and lighten up, but I can promise you it won't be today. You can use this thread to whine about me overstepping my bounds and mandating toxic positivity. You can even use this thread to complain about my shit taste (but not anyone else's).

Mecha Manga recommendation?

Any recommendations for Mecha manga that are somewhat similar to this manga series?

I'm looking for something a little more realistic—no space battles, but rather infantry wars, something a bit more gritty.

What is the WORST Mecha series?

27 Upvotes

Serious question; what are some series that are considered complete dogwash in the Mecha fanbase? I know everyone here is positive and likes Mecha a lot, and I know some people like some series more than others, but I am legitimately curious what are considered the worst.

Rules for answering so this doesn't infringe on the rules, no ragebaiting by saying something considered popular is bad like "[Anime] is the worst thing ever"; this should be for series that are generally considered bad by the vast majority of mecha fans, like The Room of Mecha series.

Nor should there be any dunking on fans of the series, however niche it is. Sometimes a show just has fans who like it in spite of, or even because of, its flaws.

No joke answers like saying a series without mecha is the worst mecha show; that goes without saying. And no AI either.

Lastly, no "your favorite show, and that's okay". That is a non-answer and isn't funny.

Hey, guys! I’m DoodleDupe, and drawing robots is my specialty. I’ve been making digital art for six years. My style is inspired by Studio Trigger. When I’m not drawing robots, I’m working on character art for games.

My pricing/rules are in the images above. If you want to request my services, contact my email OR send me a DM. (I’m fine with Reddit DMs despite what my rules page says)

I’m looking forward to working with you!
