so by that definition, in 20 years time there might not be such a thing as anime anymore

the japanese market won't cease to exist

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

*WE'LL BE A GLOBALIZED COMMUNITY*

Normies will call it whatever they want remember

We can fight over it all we want but the casual viewer won’t care

we don't care about the casual viewers too, so it goes both ways

just make more mature anime and not so much of moe blob for horny teenagers

Especially children won't care.

Anime was made by the Globalists! - hypothetical Alex Jones quote

it just seems to me like saying pizza isn't pizza unless it was made for the italian market

Moe is good in moderation

sure you can say it isn't *italian* pizza, but pizza is pizza

it's not..it's been appropriated and stolen reeee

I've seen sushi pizza with fruits

I blame donald: https://i.imgur.com/7Km2aet.png

I wouldn't call it pizza

Cultural Appropriation Reeeeee kek

like I said before. The question here is what is your intent

"Anime" started as a way to specify that you like cartoons, BUT just the ones from Japan

there is no reason you would use the same word for something else, if you don't have a bad intent

yes but being from japan is not inherently the value that anime has, it's just that japan is the place that built a successful industry of animation with the specific values that anime has

Bad intent vs ignorance

different road, same goal reeee

Like I think Oban Star Racers is considered anime but is actually French but idk for sure

`it's just that japan is the place that built a successful industry of animation with the specific values that anime has`
that's the thing though, any other definition will be abused by people to shit on the original community

Never thought we’d have a anime debate in Tims server of all places

just like they did with `gamer`

people are going to do that no matter what though

it's our role to not let them

if you made a super strict definition of anime crunchyroll would just open a branch in japan and make their shit there

CR isn't that big 😏

staffed entirely by japanese people if need be

Also the Japanese don't care. Sailor Moon, Stevens Universe, Ultimate Spider-Man, Dragonball, My Little pony, Power Puff Girls, Power Puff Girls made in Japan. All anime to them.

But gamers are dead rememberrrrrr keke

yup

but then they switched to... "women are gamers and are the majority"

people are going to bastardize everything and the only way to stop them is to not give them your money when they do

now they are switching to gamers being toxic again

I a surprised they have not created an anime (Containment) channel.
