    Guys, I'm worried I might be some sort of weird anime hipster.

    I read FSN and thought it was great. Extremely entertaining and good fun overall.
    I read umineko and thought it was great.

    some time shortly after, I found /a/ and started discussing the two. I saw the fanbases, thought they were terrible, and now I think both umineko and FSN are terrible.

    I watched madoka and thought it was one of the best shows I've seen in a while. Then I saw the fanbase slowly turn into what it is now, and pretty much disowned the series.

    add steins; gate to the list. Great show, ruined forever by reading steiner and his posse of tripfags in their eternal circlejerk.

    then there's stuff like nanoha, princess tutu, yuruyuri, milky holmes, cardcaptor sakura, koihime musou, etc. Shows that rarely get discussion outside of a good thread once in a while or a few threads when a relevant announcement is made. I didn't think they were great at first, but with the help of /a/, I've come to embrace them as great, memorable anime that I will treasure for years to come.

    am I a hipster? Is there anyone else who has this problem? It seems like I can't enjoy things that get a lot of attention.

    is that what hipsters are? I mean, sure they only do what's not cool, but I'm sure there are other attributes.

    I don't think hipster's the right word for my problem.

    OP again. not that guy, but my problem was specific to when the show first started airing when there were literally 6 or more tripfags and reading steiner in steins;gate threads, talking about random stuff like what they each do for a living and all that jazz.

    Nowadays, you hardly see any of those tripfags, and there aren't many steins;gate threads anyways.

    also, they insisted that feyris wasn't the best girl and called me a troll for declaring she was. Now that's just wrong.

    At least Steiner only kept to Steins;Gate threads, and most of the time he was just answering questions.
    Maybe you're just upset or something, but Steins;Gate with /a/ was great, and Steiner only improved it.

    Though I agree you don't see something as the same after you've seen the fanbase. It's pretty much intrinsic to us all and it's hard to avoid it, but you must try hard to like thing for what they are and not for what others think.

    Have you ever had a fap session so good that you momentarily go light headed and can't think straight for a few minutes afterwards?

    I think the hot weather here might be a factor, it tends to make me horny as hell and have better fap sessions.

    I think that's just the nature of what criticism does to your mindset, and /a/ is basically the kind of place where it flourishes.

    I'll wager there's a time in most people life where they started reading professional reviews from publications to figure what movie to see next at the multiplex, and from then their taste has slowly changed.

    Anybody can watch something by themselves and decide whether they either like it or not, but then when foreign opinion enters the equation it feels like there needs to be 'reasons' to do so.

    No, OP, I don't do that. Why not? Because I'm not weak. I don't hear that some faggots on 4chan don't like something and decide I hate to "fit in" with people I don't even know. And why don't I do that? Because I'm not a faggot.

    Hipsters don't like things that are popular, OP just doesn't like things with a shitty and very vocal fan base. That's understandable to a degree. After all you don't want to associate with people who might be insane.

    >nanoha, princess tutu, yuruyuri, milky holmes, cardcaptor sakura, koihime musou, etc.

    A few of those are REALLY REALLY popular, we just don't talk about them on /a/ that much. Anime in general has enough attention that it doesn't qualify as a hipster activity. Unless you're watching it "ironically" and not because you actually like anime.

    What hipsters do like are things that nobody has heard about it. Like shitty unknown Indy bands that only has a few hundred fans. It makes them feel like they are in a special little club with exclusive access. Though the OP might be doing this, but only with things /a/ doesn't talk about. That would make the OP very fucking stupid. Cus he doesn't know that his exclusive little club actually has a massive following.

    Hipsters have this idea that doing something even if you don't like it is "ironic." And being ironic is cool and edgy. I think it's just their excuse to do something mainstream w/o losing their special snowflake individuality.
