Real question: Why do you care so much about anime aesthetic? Idk it's a bit weird to me. Maybe I'm just old school, but anime seems a bit infantile.
I see anime profile pics even on nazi accounts . Why is this happening? Escapism?
Edit: all the weebs mad lol
It’s because anime currently offers a higher quality (as an average and as a ceiling, obviously there’s still schlock and stuff too) than Western culture does for modern entertainment. Lots of people that are disgusted with woke politics in all media will naturally be attracted to anime and/or manga because it doesn’t have that issue. Also, acknowledging that there is the cultural barrier and the weird shit you can find, a lot of the most popular, broadly successful anime and manga still undeniably celebrates things like masculinity, femininity, loyalty, family, duty, and working to improve oneself and excel. Again, values largely absent from or even villainized in modern Western media, but values that naturally appeal to those who are opposed to certain current issues in Western society.
Also many Anime authors are more versed in Western philosophy than the best Western authors.
It's not even their culture and they know it better. Why? Because we won the world wars so they studied us to find out why so they could copy and perfect it. That's why they all wear suits, have stock markets and adversarial justice systems, and so on.
Meanwhile our schools don't even teach U.S. Government anymore, much less Plato or the other greats.
