I think that the main boundary is between deciding what you like versus what others should like.

The former is fine; even if someone like "ahneemay" because it's trendy, or avoids fanservice or because the person got tired of [whatever they're watching in USA nowadays, I seriously do not know] and wants something different.

The later however is not. It's just someone being entitled, and expecting people to appease their personal tastes. It doesn't make them just a shitty anime fan, it also makes them a shitty person, unable to deal with the fact that the world does not revolve around their belly button.

Just my two cents.

The most legitimate criticism is about controversial and possibly immoral/illegal aspects being normalized in society. Even that though is easy to remedy. Don't let your kids watch them unsupervised. Otherwise, insisting on censorship/bans veers into "D&D is satanism" and "video games cause violence" territory.

Yeah in my parts pokemon was banned (schools and community) because it was Yokai. My buddy had to hide his pokemon cards, like you would dirty magazines.

maybe just as annoying as fans who complain about tourists

but even known figures in anime like miyazaki, tomino, and hideaki anno criticized things like fan service

I assume 'tourist' (in fandom spaces) got started in someplace just awful, but it's a really nice word. I've always felt that being s casual fan of something was perfectly normal, so tourist is far more useful a word to use. I'm a casual fan of scifi and i wouldn't go around making demands of the Aurora 4x devs/community or something, but a tourist would.

Minor complaints are fine but when they go and demand changes is where it gets irritating. It doesn't just apply to anime but to other niche subculture like Warhammer, boardgames and itasha. I enjoy it when new people join the hobby but atleast spend some time to learn about it first before spewing all that garbage.
