An anime fan does not have to be a part of a fandom.

correct

so idk what your point is

either you are not making it clear enough, or you think you're making a point that you're not

Just like someone who watches a Star Wars film does not have to be a part of the Star Wars fandom and not everyone who watches Star Trek is a Trekkie.

Anime fandom and weeb fandom are seperate you dolt

Weeaboos define the fandom for anime in the West.

no they don't

weebs are a minority of western fans

A fan does not have to be a part of a fandom.

fandoms would be groups of fans of specific series, not fans of anime as a whole

now you're just going in circles

Like anime harem fandom or anime shonen fandom

whatever point you think you're making,
you're really not fam

Weebs are seperate from them all

No, I’m trying to make it extremely clear that there is a larger fandom surrounding and encompassing all anime.

You are literally trying to say furry arent worthless because they are less annoying than weebs...

it's not a fandom though

All of the smaller fandoms are connected into one, larger fandom.

It is, though.

fandom is the wrong word

Weebs are like Japans equivalent of white supremacists

Its an extremist believe

No, it’s appropriate for this.

Its not

Anime is a media type, furry is a genre

Ehzek is right

The early, western anime fandom, just like furries, were an extremely small, niche group. However, unlike furries, they were not hounded into the ground because, unlike the other groups, they were not necessarily a part of any sort of “nerd” culture, so to speak. Anime, the genre, could appeal to a large enough audience to grow.

They arent comparable at all

anime is not a genre

anime is, as Ehzek said, a type of media

Furry still is an extremely small and niche fandom

anime could also grow in the west because irrelevant of what in the west anyone thought, anime would continue to grow in Japan

furries have no such thing to back them up and ensure their growth

And, as a result, the larger anime fandom (I.e. all of the fandoms that make up the larger whole) grew quickly because, due to a lack of persecution early on, there was less of a sigma in joining them.

because there's no justification to a stigma

But anime isnt persecuted weebs are

unlike furries

furries are freaky

anthros are freaky

fursuits are freaky

it is super freaky and degenerate

anime is just a type of media from a country, there is nothing inherently or entirely degenerate about it

You could show Berserk or Cowboy Bebop to an anime hater and have them like it

There is no furry middle ground

Its a yes or no question

And you don’t think 14 year old girls in short skirts aren’t freaky?

no, do you?

Tons of anime without little girls

Yes.

are you like, scared of teenage girls or something

'cause you focus on them a lot

but little girls are not the end all be all of characters in anime

He might be a closet pedo you know

No, I’m more disturbed with the idea of sexualizing very young teenagers.

I wouldn't be surprised, Ehzek

I don't disagree, as I said pedophiles should get the rope

Furry pedo is too much to justify

I can understand 16+, but 13-14’s a bit young.

but that isn't all, a majority, or even a large amount of anime

Its like gay to trans goal post moving

Ed from CB doesnt even wear a skirt

sexualization of little girls is a minority of anime, and lolicons are rightfully looked down upon

Little girl in anime not sexualized

Won an academy award

13-14 is little girl territory still.

yea ok?

nobody is saying it isn't

16 is still little girl depending on body type

And a whole lot of very popular animes have that format.

in fact I spoke in favour of that, as I referred to 13-14 as "little girls" just now

Because anime caters to little girls you retard

And that’s freakyZ

because they are not sexualized, they are moe

Shoujo anime is a whole genre

That’s my point.

???

no clearly it isn't

do you know what mor means

moe*

You’re calling furries freaky while liking something that is equally freaky and disturbing.

Anime=/=Lolicon

That’s kind of my entire point.

no I'm not, you're somehow assuming I like and am defending little girls being sexualized

lolicons should get executed

All furry is all furry

Not all anime is lolicon

Well, you are defending anime and the biggest anime in the West use the very young, teenage girl format all the time.

you're literally strawmanning, little boots

Especially the most popular ones in the West.

because they are moe, not sexualized

O no all of hollywood is loli too

Shut it down goyim knows

because people, especially Japanese, like cute things

Extremely short skirts on 14 year olds is sexualizing them.

and little kids are seen as cute

not all anime has 14 year olds in short skirts

Wait ask him what popular little girl anime
