I disagree since the stigma comes from people who think anyone with an anime pic is automatically racist - which isn’t true, especially since I’ve seen a lot of anime pfps who are normal online. This whole “anime pfp bad” nonsense stems from the anime fandom - especially K-On - somehow being a magnet for the far-right and antisemites of all people. One theory I have is that anime fits well with their reactionary vision of the world similar to 40k.

      What utter ignorant nonsense.

      Because, you know, all anime is just children’s show like the teletubbies, pokemon and never, ever, on god’s green earth, ever portray “adult things” like great amounts of blood and violence (Elfen Lied), political matters (Code Geass) and/or sexual things (Most Mainstream/Popular Modern Anime).

      There are barely any adults out there that actually watch shit like Barney, Sesame Street or the Teletubbies. Even if they do, it’s usually to relive some kind of nostalgia. Wake the fuck up and stop policing what others like; like some kind of reich-wing reactionary parroting shit like how watching anime makes you a beta male or whatever. Or go the hell back to /leftypol/.

      There are more important matters at hand instead of shaming others for liking something.
