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

2018-09-02 07:41:30 UTC  

correct

2018-09-02 07:41:34 UTC  

so idk what your point is

2018-09-02 07:41:58 UTC  

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

2018-09-02 07:41:59 UTC  

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.

2018-09-02 07:42:20 UTC  

Anime fandom and weeb fandom are seperate you dolt

2018-09-02 07:42:24 UTC  

Weeaboos define the fandom for anime in the West.

2018-09-02 07:42:35 UTC  

no they don't

2018-09-02 07:42:42 UTC  

weebs are a minority of western fans

2018-09-02 07:42:57 UTC  

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

2018-09-02 07:43:03 UTC  

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

2018-09-02 07:43:10 UTC  

now you're just going in circles

2018-09-02 07:43:21 UTC  

Like anime harem fandom or anime shonen fandom

2018-09-02 07:43:28 UTC  

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

2018-09-02 07:43:31 UTC  

Weebs are seperate from them all

2018-09-02 07:44:12 UTC  

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

2018-09-02 07:44:33 UTC  

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

2018-09-02 07:44:34 UTC  

it's not a fandom though

2018-09-02 07:44:35 UTC  

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

2018-09-02 07:44:44 UTC  

It is, though.

2018-09-02 07:44:45 UTC  

fandom is the wrong word

2018-09-02 07:45:48 UTC  

Weebs are like Japans equivalent of white supremacists

2018-09-02 07:46:12 UTC  

Its an extremist believe

2018-09-02 07:46:19 UTC  

No, it’s appropriate for this.

2018-09-02 07:46:46 UTC  

Its not

2018-09-02 07:47:10 UTC  

Anime is a media type, furry is a genre

2018-09-02 07:47:39 UTC  

Ehzek is right

2018-09-02 07:48:07 UTC  

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.

2018-09-02 07:48:12 UTC  

They arent comparable at all

2018-09-02 07:48:25 UTC  

anime is not a genre

2018-09-02 07:48:38 UTC  

anime is, as Ehzek said, a type of media

2018-09-02 07:48:38 UTC  

Furry still is an extremely small and niche fandom

2018-09-02 07:49:05 UTC  

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

2018-09-02 07:49:27 UTC  

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

2018-09-02 07:49:28 UTC  

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.

2018-09-02 07:49:48 UTC  

because there's no justification to a stigma

2018-09-02 07:49:49 UTC  

But anime isnt persecuted weebs are

2018-09-02 07:49:52 UTC  

unlike furries

2018-09-02 07:50:02 UTC  

furries are freaky

2018-09-02 07:50:07 UTC

2018-09-02 07:50:14 UTC
