Woah…it’s like a nature documentary…three years in anti territory, with nothing but a notebook and a trusty camera…the anon files.

Well, not three years, but you get the gist. Yeah, the thing you have to understand about antis is that the vast majority of them are not actually acting rationally. Some are criticising the story based on objective criteria, sure, but those people I usually wouldn’t refer to as ‘anti’s anyway. The people I do refer to operate entirely off of feeling, and then try to mask it as logical with all kinds of wafer-thin theories they probably know deep down to be untrue anyway. 

You can debunk them as much as you like (it’s pretty easy), but they won’t change their point of view and most importantly, they won’t stop coming out with utter trash – because you can’t argue with a feeling. 

It’s not surprising if you feel as though you’re reading a different story because they’ll completely warp the canon facts to fit around their own narrative. For example, it’s totally crackpot now to even try to say that Touken is intended as a negative thing in the story. It’s so obviously meant to be positive, yet these people will still harp on with the same nonsensical points about Touka being a total monster for calling Kaneki her husband. It doesn’t matter if the logic has any leg to stand on, because, essentially, it’s just another means of communicating a feeling, and that feeling is that they don’t like Touken.

So if it’s just an emotional difference and not an objective one, there’s not really much you can do to win them over. Best you can do is try and stay out of all that hot hot drama.
