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
