Oh yeah don’t get me wrong, there’s some really fucked up shit in the anime medium. The problem is that most Western discourse about anime treats it like one coherent body of work when it’s really just a medium.

Everyone can understand that My Little Pony and Rick and Morty aren’t the same kind of media, or that the latest family friendly Marvel movie isn’t the same as Cannibal Holocaust, so I think people need to put more effort into not always lumping all anime together.

Also, I think the definition of Weeb has changed a lot. Same as how Star Wars and comic book movies used to be “nerd shit” not too long ago, Anime has gone mainstream.
