This week's poll is from residentgrigo. It's similar to a poll we did way back in March 2013, but with some pretty major differences. The previous poll had stuff like yaoi and hentai, which are pretty polarizing, so we took out all those options and left just the main 4. w4x22

Edit: Really guys? Fine, I've edited the question slightly to fit your more sensitive needs.

You can submit poll ideas here (and try to keep them manga/anime-related)
http://mangaupdates.conexionsite.com/showtopic.php?tid=3903

Previous Poll Resuts:
Question: Have you ever camped out overnight or lined up for a long time to buy something right when it came out or for a large sale?
Choices:
Yes, I camped out and I'd do it again - votes: 349 (3.9%)
Yes, I camped out, and never again... - votes: 156 (1.8%)
I lined up for a while, but not overnight - votes: 1254 (14.1%)
Not yet, but I'd consider doing it - votes: 1448 (16.3%)
Never, and let's keep it that way - votes: 5672 (63.9%)
There were 8879 total votes.
The poll ended: June 13th 2015

I'm surprised a lot of people would consider camping out overnight. I wonder what would convince you to actually do it?

'Hate' is such a strong word.
I probably read shounen the least, but not because I hate it. I just find more stories less appealing.

I hate insensible vote options where one of the answers is not to cast a vote. The one you often get at MU.

Calling it "Hate" would be exaggeration...
But, if you ask for something close, it would be Shoujo demographic...because I never read them and never will...the drawing style, and all the shitty sparkling annoys me...simply speaking, It's just not for me...! So, my vote goes on Shoujo!
Now, I don't have much problem with Josei...though, I haven't read much of them either!
If you are a little experienced on this subject, you probably already know that, people often mistake Joshi manga like 07 Ghost for a Shounen make...so, yeah...time to times they're CooL...

Okay...my favourite demographic is Seinen...I love the reality of it and at times' the blood rushing moments...
Shounen is the demographic, I'm most familiar with, and have most of the experience with...I really enjoy it...^^
Well, Seinen's level is many times higher than Shounen...one of the reason would be that, most of the Shounen follows some similar pattern and many similarities like Protagonist types, most of the Shounen protagonist babble Justice, love blah blah blah crap...well that's good for teaching kids good things, but, doesn't contains that much really...while Seinen tends to be unique...
If you are still wondering about the difference, you just need to go and compare the crime levels, and you're on!!

P.S. I didn't said things written above on any specific series, but, the specific demographic ~!

One of the female-oriented demographics is going to lose this one, I'm pretty sure. Probably shoujo, because the most active on this forum seem to be guys (and there'll be quite a few girls who'll vote for shoujo, too). But then again, josei still might lose, because most scanlated josei are boring, from what I've seen so far. (Not to say there aren't awesome ones out there, just that there aren't many josei scanlators who've the good taste to pick out those titles)

Of course, I'm not voting in this poll. There are manga I absolutely adore in every major demographic. (That ought to have been an option, you know: "I don't hate any of the 4 major demographics," or something along those lines)

Hate is too strong a word and as such I won't be voting in this poll. Anyone who does should broaden their reading choices a little. Also this poll is stupid.

I don't really hate any, but if i had to choose one it would be shounen, mostly just because shounen manga have the highest amount of kind of characters i find annoying.

How about none? I read and like a lot of them. Can't vote in this poll as I don't hate any. 😔

It was a hard choice because I read all those demograpics, in the end I went with Shoujo because there is so much overblown and sparkly stuff in it ;p.

For me this poll is kinda pointless because I do not really hate any genre it's more that I do not like some art styles or story types. Also demographic hate is weird to me because it aims at a group of readers. It would be like saying sports book suck just because I'm female, while it aims more to guys but I'm sure some females read them.

There's none I hate, only ones I read less than others (in this case Shoujo). There's good stuff in every demographic, it doesn't feel right to vote anything here.

I'd really like to propose to change the poll into "Which demographic do you read the least?" because as I believe, most people won't really hate specific demographic, they just don't read much of it because they like the other type more appealing mmm...

I don't "hate" any of them. What happened to things like "Like the least"? Why does it have to be so polarized? 🙄

I probably read shounen the least, but that's because a lot of them are sports manga and I don't like sports that much.

I don't exclusively hate any genre, really, although I'm aware that most people do (especially the ones that were not included in this poll). From experience, though, I like shoujo the least, mainly because of the art (women drawn like chibis), the childish and often weak female characters, and generic storylines. That said, I know that not all shoujo is like that.

I don't hate demographics just content. It just happens that most shoujo has content I don't care for. It's also started to be that I don't like any shonen either. Oh well. I actually like every josei I've read.
