Talk:God Eater (Anime)/@comment-2143738-20150803005238/@comment-1419424-20150817024944

In the interest of keeping this thread clear of gross generalizations, I'm going to talk about a few things.

While it is true that some fans of certain anime might hold a given attitude towards other anime, it is unfair to say that this is because they are fans of that anime. It is the type of people who are fans of these anime that hold those opinions.

AoT specifically is something I will address. I've seen more than a handful of comparisons between AoT and GE, but the truth is that the "new predator driving humanity to the brink of extinction" trope is hardly a new thing in fiction, and AoT certainly didn't do it first—and considering the fact that the original GE came out only five months after AoT's manga debut, saying that GE ripped off AoT is nothing but a clear indicator of complete ignorance of how game design works and the length of time necessary to plan and develop a game. Please note that this is not directed at anyone in this thread, but rather at the AoT community in general, specifically the portion that makes the kind of accusations above.

And this leads me back to my earlier point; just because someone is a fan of a certain anime and holds a certain opinion does not mean that all fans of that anime hold that opinion, nor does it mean that it is because they are fans of that anime that they hold that opinion.

This has been my two cents.
