We know, we know, it’s super cool to hate stuff. But we feel like it takes a lot outta you, emotionally. Sometimes, it’s refreshing to focus on the positives in life. Taking a step back, and weighing things in your mind in a balanced way, can grant you a new perspective in life.

That’s where one viral r/AskReddit thread comes in. Redditors from all walks of life shared their opinions about which people and things are hated “for no reason.” Check out what they said below, and upvote the posts that you agree with, Pandas. If you’d like to share your opinions on what things really get a ton of undeserved criticism, drop by the comments and let us and all the other Pandas know.

Pssst, Pandas, when you’re done with this list, we’ve got another post about all the things that (according to some on the internet) don’t deserve hate right over here. Grab yourself a mug of tea or a cup of coffee and check it out.

Bored Panda got in touch with Mike Sington, an entertainment, pop culture, and lifestyle expert from LA, to get his thoughts about hate on social media, why negative news wins out over positivity, and why people enjoy seeing celebrities fall. He also shared his opinion about a star who'd fallen from grace but later rose back up. Scroll down for our full interview with Mike, Pandas!

BLACK CATS ARE THE BEST!! They are cute, and cuddly and sweet and I'm pretty sure they don't even know what color fur they have! They are just cats. ♥

Black cats were always considered lucky in the UK. In parts of England, a bride will have luck in her marriage if she receives a black cat as a gift. In Europe, sailors will have a safe journey if they bring along a black cat on the ship. In Scotland, you'll have coming prosperity if a black cat appears at your doorway or on your porch. Superstitions are daft but I'm all for the positive ones!

One Friday, my future husband and I arrived home at the exact same time (a first). Just as we were gesturing to each other to pull into the driveway, a small, black cat sauntered right up the driveway and sat by the front door. When we opened the door to go in, the kitty followed like he belonged and we let him. Once we realized that he wasn't afraid of our dog, we decided to keep him. Since it was, coincidentally, Friday the 13th, he became Friday. Six Fridays later, I found out that I was pregnant, which meant that conception occurred around the time Friday showed up. I was 31 and never pregnant before, even though we had been lax in the birth control department for quite some time. I was beginning to think that we were very lucky or one of us had fertility issues. I was either wrong or Friday turned out to be a fertility totem of some kind.

Entertainment and pop culture expert Mike, aka Hollywood's Ultimate Insider, told Bored Panda that people enjoy hating individuals, things, and trends on social media because mob mentality is at play.

"People enjoy being part of a gang that can pile on, and hate things, on social media. Plus it can be done anonymously, from behind a screen, in the comfort of your home," he explained.

    This is so toxic. I spend most of my teen years feeling ashamed of myself whenever I enjoyed things commonly recoginzed as "womanly" or "typical for women" i.e. shopping, makeup. I was well in my twenties when I understood that you don't have to have "special, unique" tastes and hobbies to be special and embraced some parts of myself which I was ashamed of earlier. I am glad that I changed but I'm sorry that it took me so long - I feel like I missed on many great experiences simply because of social expectations and biases.

    People love to complain. Usually about stuff they care nothing about in the first place. Stay in your lane and worry about yourself... The pumpkin spice craze will come and go and your life will be just fine. No need to get all upset about the craze. Kids aren't learning cursive in school? Guess what, they will still be able to sign their name to stuff, the world will not end. Keep holding up the line signing your checks to pay for your groceries while they use self checkout and use their phone to pay. It'll be alright trust me.

    "It’s much harder for positive, wholesome news to stand out. The negative tends to upset us or anger us, which grabs our attention viscerally."

    Entertainment expert Mike said that fans tend to look up to celebrities, and some even put them on a pedestal.

    "So when they fall from grace and mess up, there’s almost a sense of relief. It can be enjoyable to some people because the celebrity becomes more relatable. People realize things can go wrong in a celebrity’s life, so they’re really not that different from myself," the expert said.

One of the arguments I’ve heard, “they are taking our jobs!” I came to your country after leaving my family behind, paying thrice the tuition fees for the same education, paying health insurance which is free to you, and at a disadvantage generally.

    If your country has a high rate of immigration you should be pleased. It means that your country has a good standard of living, tolerance, job opportunities and is generally a nice to place to live. Immigrants are only seeking the best life they can find for themselves and their families. If I was in their shoes, I would do exactly the same. Good luck to them. It's only through pure chance that we are born in a developed country. People need to remember that.

    It is pure deflection. Governments blame immigrants rather than deal with the fact it is their own policies and ideologies that cause the problems. Everyone should have the same human rights, just because you were lucky enough to be born in a particular country or into wealth should not give you rights over those who were not.

    You can see the history of American immigration via which nationalities were vilified and when. Always black people. Always Jews. Always non-English speakers. Always non-Protestants. Scandinavians assimilated over shorter time/fewer generations because they were white and Lutheran. Irish and Italians took longer because some were darker complected (Sicilians, and what was called "Black Irish" at the time) and Catholic, esp during JFK's presidency. Some groups who were considered nonwhite have shifted, and others have been moved (back) to nonwhiteness. There are similar things in the UK, but with very different patterns, since they didn't have as many immigrants coming in until the 50s-60s. Always pay attention to who your country tells you to hate and fear.

    Much like CRT, gender theory, atheism, abortion, and transitioning queer kids, the people against feminism have zero clue what it is, what it does, or how it works. If you think feminism means "teaching that women are better than men!" nope, not at all. You've been lied to. And no, "humanism" is not better, nor the same thing. The point of feminism is to name the thing that has been vilified, and it's all things perceived as feminine/for women. So that includes a man crying or a man being raped, and being shamed for it. Feminism helps everyone.

    My coworker is like that. He told me “this girl I know is a feminist, but the bad kind, the kind that thinks she should get everything handed to her and she’s better than everyone.” I was like “….that’s not what feminism is.” He kept trying to argue with me “no feminism teaches that women are better than men, that’s what my mom told me, she’s a feminist etc.” I was like, “no, that’s not feminism. That’s not what feminism means.” He still doesn’t get it, I got too frustrated to keep going. It hurts my heart to think that some mean really believe that’s what feminism is - that belief is just going to keep holding everyone back :(

    I'm a feminist, but yet I never get accused of any of this, because I'm a man. I suspect it has less to do with those people wanting gender equality, and more to do with misogyny.

    If you think women should be paid equal money for equal money for equal work and have equal access to opportunities and services, then you are a feminist. Before you say, "Yeah, but..." - that's the definition! You are a feminist :)

    I used to do this exercise in the classroom, early 2000s. Two or three questions, and pretty soon the biggest blowhard guy in class would admit to kinda maybe being a little feminist. Couldn't do that today, I'd have at least three Andrew Tate fans advocating for legalized sex slavery or something.

    Depends son how agressive they are: if its just political or stereotypes pressure, i actually agree with many topics... but i hate when they try to "bully" because i am white straight male, i mean - did i *personally* did something to you? They really just hurt their image and image of what "equality" means... and worse are lies that i am *sure* they are not true. Feminazis are basically same as male opressors, just without a d**k but with period (they too, are bound by stereotypes).

    In Mike's opinion, probably the best example of a celebrity who fell from grace but was later vindicated is Robert Downey Jr.

    "He had crashed and burned, and his career hit rock bottom," the entertainment expert said. "Everyone thought it was completely over for him, but he completely turned his life around and reached extraordinary professional success, reaching the peaks of Hollywood stardom."

    We can't even discuss it without all of the parents brigading us with "Well, I had kids, and it's the greatest thing-" and "That's fine, but being a MOM is the-" and "You're so selfish!" and "Stop judging parents!" No, we are not "judging" you or "putting you down" because we didn't make the same choices you did. The second we try to say "Yeah, here's why we decided not to have kids, and here's how we're navigating the social pressure," a bunch of slavering parents have to rush in and... apply that same social pressure. LET US HAVE CHILDFREE SPACE. You do not have to preach the joys of parenting in our childfree spaces.

Once saw a video about a phone in which they were showcasing mostly the battery and camera of the phone. And people just had to drag apple through the mud in the comments even though it wasn’t an iphone.

    Oh, it’s definitely fun to grumble about something or other, and spend a good minute fuming about the state of the world and that darn [insert least favorite public figure and/or celebrity]. Most of us enjoy letting off a bit of steam and complaining about this and that. It’s the national pastime in many a country.

    However, holding on to all of that hate, constantly living with so much anger, is really an awful way to treat your body and mind. Not to mention that you might make your friends and loved ones reconsider spending time in your company if all you do is moan about everything. There’s a golden balance to be found between being a serial Hater-of-all-Things and someone who’s so happy-go-lucky that they close their eyes to legitimate flaws in people, trends, and things.

    I think furries are a very different thing than cosplay. I'm one of the least prudish and/or shy people you'll ever meet when it comes to sex. I have no issues talking about it. I think whatever kink you have is fine with very few exceptions. That being said, I think there are absolutely some things that shouldn't necessarily be *public* unless it's a place that welcomes that. I was in a Target the other day and saw a girl with a tail butt plug in and she had cut a hole in her pants so the tail could hang. I mean...that doesn't belong in public. My kinks don't either. Cosplay is generally putting on a persona and and outfit based on a fandom and isn't generally sexual. Furries are often sexually overt and they aren't always related to a fandom at all. They're often just dressed up as random animals or objects that have nothing to do with a book, comic, movie, etc. I enjoy a little Alpha/Omega fanfic now and again but I don't think I should be humping someone in the middle of wal-mart.

    I could not agree more. I'm always blow away from the amount of craftsmanship that go into so many of the cosplays-- some are truly on par with the wok of professional costumers and make-up artists. I enjoy playing sports, but I also love geek culture. People love different things and have different interests and I wish some people could respect that.

    30 Things That Are Pretty Much Universally Hated By Most People For No Good Reason Guys liking “feminine” things. I grew up in Vietnam and lived there until the age of 15. I’m a guy who played dolls and house with my elder sister (who is 6 years my senior) when I was 5-6 and subsequently received so much flak and jeering from fellow elementary classmates (both boys & girls) as well as homeroom teachers after I accidentally blurted out about my “abnormal” playing activities to the world (or my small world). Luckily, my parents just let me be. My dad later told me to not reveal my interests to anyone whom I do not know well out of concern that I might be bullied. He personally bought me a Sailor Moon action figure.

    The majority of progress on the equality front has been based on the idea that equality can be achieved by removing the barriers that women face and allowing them to do all the things men can do. This is based on the olden-day assumption that women are lesser than men. However, due to the segregation of some things to women *only*, this sort of progress inevitably leaves gaps behind as the focus is on *adding things onto women's rights such that they are not missing anything* rather than *establishing equality between the two groups*. Furthermore, the idea of women being lesser still lingers, both in an ideological sense and as a function of sexism, and thus allowing boys to play with girl's toys could be seen as allowing them to "step down", which, of course, we cannot have /s. Of course, some of us haven't even gotten as far as this explanation assumes...

    I’m trans and I feel so I touch with my gender and I’ve realized it’s ok if I want to wear makeup. Men can do that. After everything I’ve been through and am still going through I’m not gonna not wear makeup because steryotypes. Break the freaking concept of gender.

    You'll find all sorts of products and tutorials, now, too. When Gen X was growing up and discovering 70s/80s androgyny and/or drag, you had to make or repurpose everything, and sneak around, or only do it at clubs. Now, anyone can just walk into a giant shop full of makeup and find two dozen products, and just go out during the day with purple liner or polish or blue lipstick if you want, because makeup is fun. GO HAVE FUN! You can explore so many facets of gender and identity this way!

    My son wanted a Baby Alive and an Easy Bake Oven when he was little...I got him them for Christmas. He played with the doll a few times and then lost interest, the oven was more popular but.. he wanted them and I had no problem with it. This was 30 years ago. Hes happily married now... he and his wife have 2 beautiful kids and hes a great father to them, changing diapers as he learned from his Baby Alive and he is the cook in the house 😁

    I feel you. I've loved automechanics and welding since I was a girl, but I've learned to not share that info with any man who isn't already a solid friend. For decades and right up to really recent events, men at parts or auto shops have deliberately sabotaged my orders, repairs, or refunds, if I slip and show that I know what I'm talking about.

    My brother had a teddy bear named Ga as a young boy. After he was in high school, Mom donated a bunch of our toys to the church nursery. I did nursery duty about once a month. One morning my brother came in to get me, and saw Ga. Ga came back home with us. When he moved out, my brother took Ga with him. When he died, Ga went into the coffin.

    Professor Suzanne Degges-White, from Northern Illinois University, recently explained to Bored Panda why we’re drawn more to the negative than the positive in the news. The licensed counselor also shared exactly how too much anger can harm us in a very real way.

    “Constant anger can lead to metabolic diseases, cardiovascular problems, and digestive issues. For some people, health concerns are the reason that they may learn to let go of anger,” the professor warned.

    “While being angry can lead to social change and begin to topple barriers and other aspects of injustice, we also know that anger isn't going to be the best choice to build alliances or convince others of the need for change. Finding common ground is essential in making true, collaborative change. This requires us to let go of anger, whether that is finding a way to sublimate it or overcome it, or just put it aside for the time being,” she said.

    For my fellow Gen X-ers, Alison Arngrim, who played Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie, named her autobiography "Tales of a Prairie B***h," and has been doing stand up routines for decades about how she's been called a b***h every day of her life since she was, like, 8. She parlayed that into some of the first gay rights activism in Hollywood, and has done incredible work helping abused kids in the Hollywood system.

    Same. Her character was awesome, and the SW movies were going to be so much more, if Carrie hadn't died. Leia would have been Rose's mentor (and you can see a few hints of it in the third). See also: John Boyega, who was supposed to play Finn as bisexual and would have been Force sensitive (again, hints of it are in the edited final movies), but because fans couldn't handle nonwhite people, the powers that be cut all of the good stuff to appease the incels. Someday, when the stars align, we'll have a table read of the dream script we COULD have had, with Leia as the SW universe's matriarch, a StormPilot love match, and Finn and Rose becoming Jedi.

    The narrative needs to change. Roughly half of all homeless in the U.S. have full time jobs. That is the real tragedy. We keep hearing "nobody wants to work anymore." That's not true. Nobody wants to work and STILL not be able to support themselves. If you're going to have a full time job and still not be able to afford housing and food, then why bother working?

    Like if that is their fault! Nearly no one wants to be poor and if someone voluntarily wants that, they are not those begging homeless. Many homeless people have disabilities, often undiagnosed (and not only in USA). And even without disabilities or other problems, many people just have unlucky life which is not their fault. No one who is suffering of that chosen that!

He loudly berated a producer for not warning him. He notoriously harasses female employees, and has the sense of humor of a 12 year old. Apparently he constantly makes the "that's what she said" type of joke.

    As for why we enjoy hearing negative things more than wholesome stories, well, we’re hardwired that way.

    “When it comes to hearing information about the darker aspects of humanity, our brains experience greater stimulation when we hear stories of depravity than of kindness. It also has a ‘feel-good aspect’ for some folks as it normalizes and minimizes their own dark aspects or negative traits,” the professor explained to Bored Panda.

    “Whether it's greed, anger, promiscuity, and so on, when we hear just how bad someone else has been, it can make us feel better about our own tendencies towards the dark side traits. It also lets us imagine vicariously what it would be like to be ‘that bad. It's kind of like watching all the true crime shows—we enjoy being scared, we enjoy seeing into the minds of people doing things we never would, and it's exciting and novel to see just how far people can go in terms of their dark sides.”

    My racist, homophobic, cousin-f*****g uncle insisted that trans people aren't legitimate because "You don't see me insisting I'm a woman, do you?" he spat, like it was ridiculous. "But what if everyone around you was?" I tried pointing out. "What if you knew and felt like a man, but everyone around you kept calling you a woman and treating you like a woman, and it never felt like who you were?" Yeah, he still didn't get it, but I tried. The point is, just because YOU don't feel something doesn't mean someone else doesn't. Of course, he's the same hypocrite who insists teh gayz are ruining the sanctity of marriage, but him and his cousin being in a sexual relationship is "no one else's business!" because they were soulmates or something.

    I think a big part of it is a hatred of women, actually. Because to many men, being a woman is the worst thing you can be. It's why they hate effeminate gay men. It's why they call people p*ssies when they are referring to something they consider weak. So they don't understand a choice by someone to identify as that. They don't understand trans people in general and don't make an effort to, so they just assume they're a gay man in a dress. There's disproportionately more violence done to trans women (men who transition to women) than vice versa although there are issues for trans men, too. And when you tie religion into that it creates a safety blanket to give people an excuse to behave the way they do toward people who are just trying to live their lives.

    Keep in mind that fursuits are just one version of furries. Most furries I know don't even do suits because frankly they're expensive as hell, reaching as high as $3,000 on average. Some do just a head piece, tail, and paws/feet. Most furries just do ears and a tail.

    If people take the time to learn about furries they would discover that 99.5% of them are the most accepting, generous, innovative people around. Furry conventions raise thousands of dollars for charity. They accept everyone including those who don't fit it with "normal" society. Being in a fursona can give a person courage that they can't find being a regular person. A shy person may not be as shy in a fur suit and people who have stage fright as themselves have the courage to perform as their fursona. Furries create amazing art. The drawings range from cute pencil sketches to elaborate metalwork to magnificent fur suits. Yes, there is some "adult art", but if that is not your thing, you don't have to look at it. Furry conventions are very good about keeping under 21 out of any "adult content". Fur suits can cost hundreds of dollars to create. Some more embellished fur suits incorporate lights, sound, and animatronics to

    My problem is that the pumpkin spice aroma (smell) can be everywhere and it makes my eyes water and is nauseating. The absolute worst "public stink" for me is the strong cinnamon found on all the pinecones and brooms at the entry to craft stores - these physically give me a headache and makes me sick.

    The problem is that PSL is marketed as a coffee. It isn't. It's a dessert. If I talk about liking coffee, I talk about an Espresso; short, concentrated and black as my soul. It's the pure essence of coffee. And drinking black coffee does not make us hardcore, it makes us simply superior! At least I'm telling this myself lol.

    There is very little "hate" towards those, many ridicule them, but most people are just lazy enough to buy a console: its basically the same, but with sprinkles on it. Pre-build PCs are mostly ridiculed because of their inner components - there is *always* something weak if not a trash... and player gonna feel it sooner or later, which actually hurts image of PC "gaming" as such PC needs "replace" with same integrity as console, but more expensive. Yet, there are *much* more people with "prebuild" PC and consoles than people with "builded" ones.

The stuff that's older, the junk doesn't tend to get played anymore. So, it's usually all the best stuff of that decade. I think there's also a nostalgia factor as well.

    I don't enjoy listening to my teen music anymore (Smiths, Cure, Depeche Mode). But man, I can spend an entire day relaxing to Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong now. Whatever music you like that brings you happiness is awesome music. Your tastes will probably change over time because you will too.

    My opinion: there are, to any given time, a few really good songs and a lot of c**p. With the time we'll remember the good ones and forget the shitty ones. So we subjectively remember the great old goodies and compare it with the entirety of the current music

    It goes both ways. My 18 year old likes the music we listen to (a lot of 80s stuff along with current music) but her school friends always "hated" anything that was older than last year because it was old. I've never understood only liking music when it's on trend (mind you, my parents refused to allow anything other than pre-19thC classical to be played in the house when I was growing up so any form of pop music was foreign to me for a long time).

    Most of us click with music we get into in our teens. That means that no matter what we think of it, teens today are forming their identities, tastes, and even ambitions around the music they're hearing now, just like we did. And that is awesome and beautiful. There is always amazing music to discover, and each generation reflects the pop culture of the time in unique ways. Celebrate it.

    This is another one that is far too generalized. The music industry has completely changed over the last few decades and become increasingly over saturated. For example! 60,000 songs are added to Spotify, daily!! Millions of songs are released each year - this was not the case even 30 years ago.

    30 Things That Are Pretty Much Universally Hated By Most People For No Good Reason Chris Pratt. I'll never understand why Twitter progressives hate him so much. "He's part of a homophobic church" they say. But you know who else is? AOC and Joe Biden. "He didn't endorse Biden so he must be a Trump supporter." I can't understand how anyone could possibly think this makes sense when he literally donated money to Obama in 2012.

    He got rid of his elderly family cat because he didn’t want to deal with caring for an elderly cat anymore while starting a family. On Twitter nonetheless. That’s about all it takes for me. Life long commitment, people. Don’t see how what AOC and Biden are doing exonerate Chris Pratt, if other accusations happen to be true. The cat thing just ended it for me. And his comments to upset fans were terrible too. He didn’t deserve death threats, but no redemption here. He just comes off as an a** too. 🤷‍♀️

I've been thinking of rehoming some of my cats, it is a lot to keep up with and they get ignored a lot these days. But the thought of posting in one of the local animal care groups makes me physically ill, just because of how the members act. I'd love for them to have a better life but how people act prevent me from finding them one

    I never understood the hatred for "moist". I went most of my life with it just being another word, and then one day, all of a sudden everyone on the internet was telling each other to hate it. I'm convinced most people would never have even thought of it if it hadn't become a meme. Brownies are moist. Cake is moist. Grass after rain is moist. Why hate "moist" but not "damp" or "wet"? Like, picture a moldy shower. That's not moist, that's damp. Sorry, I don't get it.

    The thing is... his music isn't, like, HORRIBLE (except Shape of You, that one is awful). Some of his songs are even kinda enjoyable. I think the hate for him doesn't stem from how bad his music is, but from how disproportionate is the quality of his music and the hype around it.

    It's not for his being ginger or for a certain song, it's because all we heard in the UK Pop charts for months was half the songs from that one album. The irony being that the people who put him in the charts for loving those songs slowly started to hate him as it was all they heard every time the radio was put on. I love his songs it didn't bother me 😁

    The irony is that I know dozens of people who do use it in a professional setting - and they're all authors. For some reason, using comic sans as your font, rather than the default Times New Roman, has some kind of effect on your brain that makes you more productive when writing creatively. I've tried it, and it really does work!

    Me! I hate it! I prefer serifs anyway, but Comic Sans got overused for everything to the point where I feel like it's mocking me whenever it pops up in professional settings. I can smell its malevolence.

    Someone told me recently that comic sans improves reading ability and comprehension in some people with mental issues (a number of which I have), according to the British Dyslexia Association. Definitely something to keep in mind when ragging on it (which I've stopped doing).

    I have never understood this strong dislike for Comic Sans. I began with a portable manual typewriter with just the one font and size. The PC with it's word processing programs gave me such a wide choice of fon.ts that I was delighted

    At issue it the fact that *early* adopters were often just virtue signalling, just like born-agains, newly hatches vegans, tree-huggers etc. The Prius is actually a damn-good transportation unit with excellent economy, longevity, and reliability. Taxi-fleet favourites for this reason. This thumbs-up comes from a car nut who has owned big-block Dodge chargers and Chev suburbans, and other gas-guzzlers.

    Here in Los Angeles, the early adopters could be insufferable. The Prius itself has proven a robust transportation appliance.

    I've ridden in one. Quieter interior than anything else I've ever been in.

    But it's a ghastly interior. The gear leaver looks like a toy and the digital dash is horrendous. It's as bad as a new Defender.

    I drive a 14-year-old Prius mostly because it's dirt cheap to own and drive. It's long since paid for, insurance on it is low, and it gets great gas mileage. Dudes spending $150 filling up their giant, lifted penis extension can call me whatever they want and I'll just laugh.

    Ok, I used to hate Toyota Priuses. Well, not actually the car, but the Prius drivers. When they first came out, it seemed like only the worst drivers bought them. Every time you'd come across a Prius, it's owner was doing something incredibly stupid. Nowadays though, the Prius has become much more popular and there seems to be a more diverse group of drivers owning them. So I don't notice the bad driving behavior from their drivers as much and generally don't hate them anymore.

    Personally, I despise anime dubs because they sound almost emotionless compared to the Japanese version. That being said, I don't go out of my way to hate on dub watchers. Just let people enjoy what they like

    The voices sound like they all are dubbed by the same person! Don't care for anime, but go ahead. Live and let live.

    For me it's what i see first and how close they match the original. Some i down right hate, some are good enough to watch when i wanna be lazy and some i cant tell a difference between the 2. Trigun is a perfect example of that last one. My fiance is slowly getting into anime so dubs are easier for him to follow along so that's what we watch. He knows on some things i really hate the dubs but if i can get him to watch more with me it's a small price to pay

    It depends on which on you hear first. Watching it with other voicing can sound weird afterwards. The only one that doesn't sound weird to me in either Japanese or English is Fullmetal Alchemist but I might be biased cause I love that. Also, sometimes they add English outtakes to the set and add it to scenes which makes some great laughs.

    I don't like watching things with dubbing in general because I feel weird when the voice isn't coordinated with lip movement. That's why when I don't understand the language, I prefer to watch with subtitles, if possible. However, I don't hate dubs - many people either aren't able to read subtitles so fast or have problems with wocusing on the movie and subs at the same time. So they shouldn't enjoy the anime/movie because many people don't like dubs? It doesn't make sense.

    Dubs have gotten better, but it is still common for the voices used for adult women to sound like adolescents and for those used for younger women (much less high-schoolers or children) to be higher-pitched.

    Also (not restricted to anime) when you understand the spoken language (in part or in whole), the dubbed version can be radically different from what you understand. Particularly blunt or colloquial speech. For example in Food Wars, Ikumi Mito's nickname is dubbed "Meat-Meat" instead of Miku (or Meat) and Megumi Tadokoro and her entire hometown is dubbed with a Deep Southern dialect.

    I prefer anime dubs for comedy. The jokes are adjusted so they're funnier in english. Just tweaked, really. Generally, they're not as funny when they're subtitled. Subs are great for drama.

    There are some really good dubs, and some really bad dubs. I feel I prefer English dubs, just simply because I multi-task while watching anime, and I might miss things if I have to read subtitles. I do enjoy Japanese dubs as well, but I just watch English more.

    I personally dislike them because the dubs' sound and the facial expressions don't have the same passion. Monotone English "I hate you." But the character's head is practically exploding.

    Personally I despise all anime and manga. I've lived in Japan over 40 years and it's all garbage, badly drawn, badly written, badly produced and, of course, badly translated.

    Ah bless, I would love you to say that about Hayao Miyazaki’s work which has won countless awards. I find it odd that you despise all anime and manga as it has had such a profound influence on popular media worldwide. So what would you consider intelligent media? -signed, a former translator and localizer and current sociolinguist
