Hentai isn't anywhere as niche as it used to be. I'd guess most millennials are aware of it.

Aware of it? We pioneered it!

Too true. I still remember the girls in Japanese/anime club in High School using Japanese words to openly talk about their yaoi hentai obsessions as if no one knew what they were saying.

Reading fanfics on Livejournal and Xanga, posting photos to tumbler and Photobucket.

Yeah, I never expected a Scottish viewer on my video game stream to mention futanari. My Japanese ancestors would be proud to know how hard Japanese softpower is making people.

Just cuz we know about it doesn't mean it ain't niche..

I remember going to uni and my friend told me he would share his "adult content" with me and he said he'd share his hentai with me but I couldn't 🍆 to it. Then my other roommate was like, what else are you supposed to do with it? follow the plot?

It wasn't even niche back in the dial up times.
