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
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
