I mean every post you've made on the topic assumes the OP is the one in the wrong and the people recommending him trash are making good faith arguments based on "perspective". It seems like you have someone in mind (maybe yourself?) who you're defending here, I'm just curious to know more.

Yup.

I used to hang out at places like r/animesuggest from time to time and seen people both suck at recommendations and be weirdly belligerent about genre. And being specific can help but I've seen a lot of people look for manga that just doesn't exist.

I give a lot of recs but when I'm looking for something I'm partial to searching tags on places like MAL, Anime-Planet, vndb, Dex, etc.
