This might be getting into deep territory, but is there a reason SA in the past used to be so vehemently against anime culture, and mocked anyone who enjoyed it?

like the internet as a whole used to? i distinctly remember an era where being into anime online was taboo.

Oh I see! This must be the Bad Opinion Zone!
Also recall that until quite recently there was basically no legitimate way to watch anime so being an anime fan is kinda inherently admitting to illegal activity.

Depend on where you're from to be honest. The current leaders of Latin America grew on a healthy dose of anime.

It's not illegal to pirate your anime if the government is doing the pirating

If you didn't grow up watching anime in realmedia format downloaded using fileshare programs so you could watch badly translated DBZ and Trigun in sub 480P, you have not watched anime.

I watched the usual stuff as a kid like Pokemon and the DiC Sailor Moon but my first proper "oh anime is a thing" was the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist, watching it with subtitles and no sound on Google Video in the school library.
