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.

Anime is good and there are many excellent shows/movies. Anyone who throws shade at an entire medium because some of it isn’t as good, is very short sighted. Racist in this instance? Doesn’t seem like it. I think it’s just people trying to distance themselves from the rest of the internet lol in a weird way
