the monthly /r/Anime roast! - February 2017: Couple Crushing.
Post Body

Welcome everybody to the second 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 is...

Couple Crushing!

Set sail for safety, because this week it's time to show each other just how shitty /r/Anime's taste in ships and couples is! Post one of your favorite couples or ships and let the rabid members of /r/Anime show you just how bad your taste actually is in a humorous way!

Monthly 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 couple, try to keep it about the couple as a duo, not the characters individually.

  • Keep roasts specific to the couple in question, and don't use other characters from the same series as targets unless it's relevant.

EDIT: Feel free to post characters too if you missed Last Month's Thread! But preferably keep it on-topic.

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 ship yourself! So don't submit something you don't like because you want to see it roasted!

  • Throwing around insults like "autistic" or vague terms like "bad couple" is too subjective to be a roast, as it's not actually about the subject and more about your personal dislike towards it.
