If you were to write a manual about how to fight against the woke virus in your hobby what would be your first two guidelines? Mine would be to ignore anyone that mentions representation and to consider the accusation of gatekeeping as an honor.

Keep male and female entertainment and education separate. This merge ended us up in some weird female lunacy with emasculated men and genderbenders. Let people enjoy what they want, but stop pretending we want similar things.
Remember your audience. There’s nothing wrong with non-Asian people enjoying anime, but a larger global market should not change what makes anime unique. Hollywood, video games, etc have all gone down the route of chasing every dollar over providing quality entertainment.
Good point. I never understand why a hobby is “bad” if a lot of men enjoy it. Women have always been into certain male dominated hobbies but be very suspicious of any woman that beats her chest and drones on and on about being a female fan.
You are definitely to the point. Lol.
It shouldn’t. The question is with everyone blabbing about it, and the Western market slowly creeping above the domestic, will anime change for the puritans?
You might have answered my question. Should have been hush-hush IMO. All we can do now is keep our favorites to ourselves, push back when appropriate (choose your battles, don’t go looking for a fight with every whiner imaginable) and try to warn the Japanese of the attacks and infiltration we helped instigate.
