Why is there a double standard in how this site talks about "western" animation and how it talks about anime?

When talking about western animation: Nuanced serious discussion about how it’s deep, beautiful art

Basically any time anime is mentioned: “OMG, ONLY REACTIONARY PEDOPHILES LIKE THAT SHIT LOL.”

Feels lowkey kinda racist, ngl.

The possession of anime should be punished with carceralsim so black and horrifying it would make Stalin look like Angela Davis.
