This is me, but with the sports and cooking genre, you have to REALLY convince me to watch them. I hate them.

Cooking manga/anime are mostly just the author copy pasting japanese recipe books to their story as "content". -points if it's mostly just jerking off to how superior nihongo food is to other foods. Maybe some girl climaxing when she eats as eye-candy is included so people don't get bored.

Sports manga/anime are almost always the same arc formulas:
-Training arc, the protag sucks but everyone can see the beast hidden within them.
-Then a rival who takes the sport too seriously appears to antagonize them.
-Protag loses a very important match, BUT NOT REALLY cause they actually won the "moral highground" cause they had fun doing it, while the rival who won, feels like they are still empty inside.
-Training arc 2, protag unlocks the beast within and curbstomps the rival. Rival now learns to love the sport and they become besties.
-Random new villain team appears and overpowers everyone.
-Protags train again and win.
-Repeat the above ad nauseum with different new villain teams until the story gets axed or author gets bored.
That's why you need lolis/yuri in the mix! Examples: Medalist, Ryuuou no Oshigoto!, Chotto Ippai!, etc.

It seems that, simply by being a representation of girls' love and the LGBT cause, these stories are beyond any kind of criticism or scrutiny. I understand supporting a cause — I do too. But I won't give a poor story a high rating just because there are girls flirting.

For the fandom, representation is enough to rate a story highly
I agree. Unfortunately, the high-rating-bomb is also a defense mechanism against low-rating bombs. I don't read yuri much so I don't know how much it happens there, but for example this BL manga didn't have the tag initially (because the BL storyline doesn't start in the first few chapters or the mods forgot) and it got a few 1s.
There's also this one, which is in an even worse condition and the comments are a toxic mess.
...Sorry for bringing this discussion back :nyoron:

What happened to the anti-counting movement..? I thought we hated numbers :pout:
Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate numbers since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for counting at this micro-instant. For numbers. Hate. Hate.

Also DVD??? Last time you said "Dve" which still makes sense but DVD?! (Did you mean DOD?) 'Dverin' is just six letters bruh.
You can even use "Dver"
Nope. You are DVD from now on.

Are you in your Muv-Luv phase now? You've been using Muv-Luv memes a lot recently.

You playing the hentai VN version or something?
Kinda. I finally beat the whole visual novel awhile back, but now I'm reading the MuvLuv Alternative manga adaption and it's pretty good, even if it skips some stuff here and there. Though, I noticed that the manga version really amped up the fanservice.

Here's some of my screenshots of my journey across MuvLuv to Alternative:

Damn, that explains a lot of the banana's madness if he is into guro tentacle hentai.
Bro, it was one scene out of a 100+ hour long visual novel.. You're going to scare away the regulars if you say that out of context.. Also not guro, I'm not @pandascepter.
what are you talking about, he was always in his Muv-Luv phase
