Welcome everybody to the first edition of the /r/Anime roast, where each month redditors put their taste at risk for the other redditors to roast away at.

This week's roast, which also is the first monthly roast is...

Character Carnage!

Hide your kids and hide your waifu's, because this week it's time to show each other just how shitty /r/Anime's taste in characters is! Post one of your favorite characters and let the rabid members of /r/Anime show you just how bad your waifu or husbando actually is in a humorous way!

Weekly Rules

On top of the house roles that are stated below, there are also some weekly rules to follow with every submission:

• When roasting a character, it's about the character, not the people working on it. You can talk about character design, personality or position in the story, but do not make it about the VA, Studio or other people working behind the scenes, as those are categories of their own.

• Keep roasts specific to the character in question, and don't use other characters from the same series as targets unless it's relevant. So don't make roasts along the lines of "If (roastee) is attracted to a shitty character like (other character from the same series) then she's really an idiot!" because then you're targeting the other character more than the actual character itself. However commenting along the lines of "X is a masochist if they're attracted to Y" I'll allow because it's more about the interest of the character in question than it is about the person they're attracted to, though they are weak roasts overall. Comparing the character to others in the series is allowed as long as there's a joke there.

• EDIT: Throwing around insults like "autistic" or just simply calling a character something like "worst girl" is too subjective to be a roast, as it's not actually about the character and more about your personal dislike towards them.

With that, I'd say roast away!

What is a roast?

"Roasting" is a harmless yet harsh way to humorously criticize something or someone. It's usually done in a way that makes fun of it, criticizes it or even "insults" it in a friendly way!

What makes a good roast?

A good roast is a short and witty reply at the expense of the mentioned subject. It's a comment that will "burn" the subject and hates on or insults the show, but doesn't leave any lasting harm or hate. It's a comment that both the haters and lovers of the subject can laugh about and is closer to a joke than an insult.

An example of a good roast would be someone roasting Rem by saying "Even depressed NEETs aren't interested in her.". It's a witty response that while hurtful, isn't mean spirited.

To put it into pictures, a good roast is something that makes you feel like

House Rules

• ROASTS ARE JOKES. Being funny should always be prioritized over being harsh.

• You can post as many characters as you like to get roasted, as long as they're in an individual comment.

• All roasts have to be about the submission, NOT the person posting them. Also try to keep the roasts in good taste, and while they may be harsh or upsetting, don't make them offensive, racist, or anything among those lines.

• If you want to roast people you have to make a submission yourself too! This way we'll have a good amount of submissions to roast, and it'll feel fairer if you'll have to make yourself a target too if you want to roast people.

• Do NOT start a discussion! Roasts are one sided, meaning that you leave your submission to be roasted, and not to start a discussion. Don't start typing comments with counterarguments to defend your submission. Comments on comments are allowed only by other redditors who want to add content to the roast.

• Keep your submissions short, the length of roasts doesn't matter though. Don't submit anything that has already been submitted

• Only nominate things that you like yourself! So don't submit something you don't like because you want to see it roasted!
