one of these is LITERALLY YOU:
<the shonenfag
>never grew out of his childhood tastes
>might watch other action-heavy anime but that's pretty much the bulk of his diet
>genuinely kind of stupid
<the post-shonenfag
>slightly grown up, broadened his tastes somewhat, mostly into light novel adaptations and romance now that he no longer thinks girls are icky
>still, at heart, kind of stupid
<the artfag
>cares sincerely about history and technical details
>knows a bunch of cool obscure shit, but also likes a lot of actual rubbish
>will eventually get tired of sharing a fandom with all these other people and leave
<the otaku
>makes funny haha jokes about how random forgettable CGDCT or ecchi is better than acclaimed stuff, pretty much entirely because of a female character he likes
>watches anime "content creators" (this is unambiguously a bad thing)
>perpetually insecure, locked in an unending quixotic conflict against "normies" and "tourists"
<the actual tourist
>"watched eva once"
>has terrible superficial takes that absolutely no one wants to hear
>thinks he's god's gift to the medium
>if he ever makes any art of his own, it WILL include a reference to the akira bike slide
<the tumblrina
>genuinely relies on anime for emotional wellbeing
>main problem with the medium is that it's "too straight"
>writing a yuri military sci-fi web serial
<the oldhead
>proud hentai addict
>knows the name of everyone involved in the production of a random one-episode ova from 1992 that has two frames of animation per second
>surprisingly woke
>kinda like your cool uncle who'll tell you funny dirty jokes but who you don't want to get too close to
<the cool guy you want to be around
>has broad tastes and is chill with everyone else's
>engages in fun enlightening discussions without being pretentious about it
>does not exist
The oldhead is the closest although I'm not that old just have watched a lot of classic stuff
Types of twitter fans with anime as a sub-hobby of twitter*
probably a mix of oldhead and artfag
A lot of oldheads are shonen fans though
Also this list is mere stereotypes
If I still like kuroshitsuji, what am I?

"All the stuff you thought was cool as fuck at 12 still is. Large men screaming and punching each other to the tune of poorly compressed power metal is the peak of literature."
>>30263Firmly in tumblrina territory.
>>30265Action adventure is still cool as fuck but it’s overpromoted.
>>30265old tumblr or post porn-ban tumblr
>>30267The only difference was that pre-porn ban tumblr was easier to access without an account.
It's me, the artfag
