: Because anime is too d33p for the American populace.
(Warning: It's on Gaia, so 56k'ers beware. However--holy shit--it's about fandom.)
The Anime/Manga/Comics forum is a cesspool of squealing over the newest hotness in anime. Most of the discussions that go on there are rehashes of topics done numerous times, and are more demonstrations of the posters' lack of any sentience whatsoever than actual topics.
So when I first saw this topic, I had high hopes. Which were quickly dashed when I decided to actually...you know...read it.
( I was going to attempt a Cliff's Notes, but the pseudointellectualism blinded me. )
So, yeah. Be prepared for (omg!) heavy reading.
[edit]Oh baby, trolls!
Speaking of which...I never linked the other parts of the wank.
First, the wank about whether American comics are d33p and 3dgy. Starts at the bottom of page one, continues.
Next, In which Koko's Americanness is called into question. (I think this continues for like...two or three pages.)
More to be added as I finish backlogging.
