I used to post on a nerdy forum that had a ton of people who really hated anime and couldn't abide its presence. nowadays it's chock full of anime fanfics. this extremely scientific survey supports the idea that young people don't care about last generation's culture wars.

w/r/t anime and ```social justice```, while anime can be hosed up in a lot of ways it is hosed up in different ways to american stuff, and also has things like utena which just don't have a parallel on american tv (there's steven universe I guess but that's very recent and is chock full of utena references for a reason). you can't just put 'america' and 'japan' on a line of increasing X-ism therefore increasing media badness. also people doing so and ranting about the degenerate japanese is super common and racist as heck so naturally will play badly with people who don't like racism.

realtalk: if you want fantastical or science fictional stories in tv size, then japan probably produces more than the entire anglosphere even in the current nerd boom. like half of them are lame magic highschool trapped in an MMO LN adaptions but on the other hand, the deluge of superhero spinoffs.

it's not bad for being a market maybe 1/4 the size
