I disagree since the stigma comes from people who think anyone with an anime pic is automatically racist - which isn’t true, especially since I’ve seen a lot of anime pfps who are normal online. This whole “anime pfp bad” nonsense stems from the anime fandom - especially K-On - somehow being a magnet for the far-right and antisemites of all people. One theory I have is that anime fits well with their reactionary vision of the world similar to 40k.

I agree, the stigma is nonsensical and almost as bad as Nazi style stereotypical thinking of “le anime degeneracy”.

Anime horseshoe theory, rabid weebs and rabid antiweebs are incredibly similar.

Oh my god glad to know I'm not the only one who gets these kinds of vibes from anti-anime people.

Homogenizing "anime" as if it were a genre of cartoon and not the medium itself native to Japan is annoying as hell, mostly comes from ignorance but still very frustrating even as a white guy who digs some anime. It's like the anti-globalist version of hating on cartoons as a medium lol. Some cartoons are bangers, just like some anime! And some are dogshit! Just like live action shows!

Nobody argue we should ban the cinema and movies because things like "Jud Süß" were made and hollywood is still doing not much better things, yet a lot of people do want such for anime, even here.
