anime platform Crunchyroll announced, this Monday (8), a significant change in its user interaction policy. The company has decided to disable the comments section on its website.
- Chained Soldier: 2nd season of the anime changes studio
- Overlord: New trailer for 'The Sacred Kingdom' film reveals release date
Crunchyroll communicated the decision through an official statement:
“At Crunchyroll, we prioritize creating a safe and respectful community environment. To maintain this standard, we are hiding all existing user-generated content, including comments and reviews, across all of our platforms and experiences.”
This measure came after a series of incidents, recently involving the BL anime “Twilight Out of Focus” (Tasogare Out Focus). The title was the target of 'review bomb', a practice where multiple profiles post negative reviews in a coordinated manner, aiming to damage the reputation of the content. This behavior, unfortunately, is not new in the digital world, but its impacts are significant for both creators and fans.
Crunchyroll has decided to hide comments and ratings to protect the integrity of its community and ensure that all users can enjoy its content without being exposed to toxic behavior. It is an important step towards keeping the platform a positive and welcoming space.
While some users may miss expressing their opinions directly on the site, Crunchyroll continues to encourage healthy discussions on other social media platforms and dedicated forums. Finally, the company reaffirms its commitment to listening and valuing fan feedback, always seeking the best experience for all anime lovers.
