@ST63LTH So you hate a genre and love shows where that genre is one of the central themes, but you just ignore it? Okay, I got you.
| @RobertBobert Precisely, I'm glad you understood what I was insinuating. It cleared up a lot of misunderstandings. |

| @ST63LTH This was largely sarcasm, given how people usually call such things, but I think you understood everything perfectly well. |

| Yes, harem is pure garbage, braindead trash. |
| The only thing trashy here is people constantly making threads just to let themselves and others trash on genre's they don't like. |

| What good can come from something that has sexism and sexual fetishes as main themes? Nothing worthy, I guess. |
 |
| You know what you're getting with a harem. Trashy no? But def not my genre of choice. |
| I would say that it is not inherently trashy. It comes down to how the story is presented. One of my favorite romcoms, which is also in this category, is KamiNomi. Of course, I have bias, but I think KamiNomi presents the story in a great way. |

Nah, the biggest problem with harem shows and manga is that there are very few that actually dare to do a polygynous ending and, you know, show the MC with his harem completely assembled. Like it or not I think it's a gutsy move that deserves respect. Most of the supposed "harem" shows are just glorified love triangle romcoms, and I don't understand how that can be called "harem" at all.
| @TheMechaManiac True, it's disappointing when harem anime don't end up in a harem. Btw, if you like real harem shows then this might be for you: https://myanimelist.net/anime/54714/Kimi_no_Koto_ga_Daidaidaidaidaisuki_na_100-nin_no_Kanojo |

| Who would actually want a harem of sexy, underaged anime girls?? Sounds like a pedophile's wet dream to me... |
| I love me some "to love ru" dose that make me trashy? |

| @enigmasauce alot of other anime are even more trashy than harem anime tbh... |
| All i'm gonna say is if you hate haram anime you also by default hate sports anime. They are basically the same genre. You pick your team or in this case your girl and root for them. You follow their triumphs and struggles. And everyone knows the best thing about sports is shiting on the opposing teams. It's a journey for sure I wouldn't say it's the worst genre, like all genres you get your generic shows obviously. But when you get that well developed show it's peak or a parody like 100 Girlfriends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEp2YBw1Tq4&t=338s&ab_channel=Gigguk |

| @DesuMaiden I'm offended you think I haven't already lol jk. Back in high school people would be like you have to watch Haikyuu, it's the best volleyball anime ever. Meanwhile I'm sitting quietly like Harukana Receive though. But for real Harem is a sports. |

| Harems where MC doesn't accept the girls' affection are pretty gay. Unfortunately that's most harem anime. Go play VNs instead. |
This verdict from a site that analyzed my list should state my views on the genre.. |

| @TheSunLife btw I dont typically list the anime shows (that I watch) on this site. I dont like people stalking me on social media. |
| Harem is trashy if you're asking my opinion, yes. Then again, I think you really have done something wrong in order to get my opinion shown to you. Lol, have fun. |
| It's trashy by design. That doesn't mean they're not enjoyable or that they shouldn't exist. I do enjoy some harem anime, but I can't deny that they're trashy. |

harem is not a trashy genre it is rather becoming trashier because of how badly an author executes it. That mostly nowadays is present (as far as I've noticed) |

@Tropisch bros about to cry this time seeing these harem hate threads fr
| @dumbandinsane Didn't know pointing out the whole reason people make these types of threads is "crying", but then again, I'm not sure what I was expecting from someone who's username describes how they act. |
| "Well, she's flatter than a pancake" -Mimi Alpacas "Woof" -Tobiichi Origami "Are you trying to turn the dormitory into a strip club!?! -Atena Saotome |
| Both harem and reverse harem are great, not one of my favorite genres, it's in the middle for me, definitely not worse than ecchi. |

| @Nemo_Niemand That could be applied to a lot of things depending on how wide your definition of "sexism" is. |

| @FanofAction Simply, representing women as objects. They are mostly judged by their appearances. Bust sizes, hair style, hair color, clothes, length of socks. Personality is the least thing the viewer is supposed to care about, if a character ever has any. Speaking of personalities, the girls, like NPCs, just have some built-in options instead. They have to fall for a protagonist. They don't have choice and they were not given any reasons. They just must to. Programmed to. And their personas are just some primitive, one-dimentional dere-shmere something. Here, my dear viewer, a vast choice for you. Choose any OBJECT you desire. We have different hair colors, sock lengths and behavior patterns. They are all yours. |

| I think ecchi, erotica, hentai, avante-garde, BL, and GL are worse than harem. There have been plenty of good harem anime, and I would agree that the genre has become bland and saturated in recent years. Is it the worst genre? Not by a long shot. |

| @Nemo_Niemand Alright. Well I'd argue portraying males as being unfaithful and willing to date multiple girls at the same time is also a form of sexism, but that's just me. |
