Objectively Madoka due to evaders. The issue is to me less thread-specific and more of tactics some intentionally bad apples bring into multiple series. Generally anything by KyoAni or SHAFT can expect to be shitposted pretty hard. No one even bothers trying to get 3-gatsu threads going on /a/ anymore, in good part because some people spam the same literal meme complaints against SHAFT endlessly. Studio wars = console wars to some.

Something else obvious right now is anyone trying to force any show as reddit; that's association fallacy. People calling Konosuba and LWA reddit, for example, are doing nothing to actually talk about the shows. They are just tagging on "this show sucks because I'm implying you're reddit if you like it", which is fallacious and can be arbitrarily tagged onto any series to try to divide-and-conquer a unified audience on /a/.

Other points of contention flaring up all the time frequently include yuri vs. het ad hominem shitposting which, sometimes, can dominate entire series. Again this avoids real discussion in favor of casting wide shitposting nets at nebulous sub-groups of the board. We do not seem to have guidelines when to acting on this frequent derailing tactic, even though it can easily wreck threads and is again divide-and-conquer.

Also, somewhat (but not always) related to the above trend, are the occasional shipping wars forced out of series that simply are not romance-heavy. When a series has romance, it's totally understandable and I have no issue there, but when people take series that just don't have romance in them and are allowed to endlessly get into intense arguments about whatever fanon pairings in their heads work best, then that is how we wind up with situations like ACK in Madoka. Nobody engaging in this kind of bickering will ever be vindicated because the series won't ever go there. It's carte blanche to endlessly derail threads for people who actually wanted to directly discuss the series aka low quality.
