It struck me as odd as well. Those words don’t go together, like, at all. :)
And besides, GenX never give two shits about the Axis powers. The Cold War was our war. And while I didn’t hate the Russians back then, I sure as hell do now.
Born in 84, loved Saber Rider and The Star Sheriffs and the like. Never was a fan of that typical wacky behavior in Anime. Plus I liked Saber Rider and others in spite the art style.
And as time went by, I got more and more annoyed of being bombarded with Anime almost anywhere. (That’s how I imagine not being a Star Wars fan when new stuff is out)
Plus it seemed to become a beast of its own with huge eyes, screaming and so much cuteness, it makes me puke. It’s just not for me.
And I loved Metro 2033, even though I never made it past the first two chapters of 2034. It just didn’t click.
They never said, that they are annoyied by other ppl liking/posting it. They don’t like it, so they block it in order to not see things they don’t enjoy.
Thats how the internet works. Roughly 95% on the internet is not your cup of tea - learn how to find your 5%.
'71 here! We SO loved all the Robotech/Macros stuff back in the day. We’d never seen anything like it!
But yeah, I block about every anime group I find because it’s either hyper-sexualized little girls or furry fucking.
So for me, it has nothing to do with it being Japanese in origin. Hell, we were the original weeaboos. And for that matter, my wife is half Japanese.
As for the rest of GenX? Obviously I can’t speak for all of us, but I’m not sure I’ve heard anyone say, “I don’t like that Japanese/Russian/communist art/entertainment.” That would be weird.
That’s me, but that’s not why I block anime. A lot of it on Lemmy is really creepy. Very childish looking characters, with very womanly features, in very sexual depictions. I don’t understand the appeal, and don’t want to understand the appeal. As far as general anime like Altered Carbon, or Ghost in the Shell, I think that stuff is pretty cool. But that’s not what I see a million posts of here on this platform, so I just added keywords to filter all of it out.
I see Anime, I block. I’m a simple man.

So, no. No lefty, nor right. Only human.
it’s not all like that at all, and i guess i don’t understand the mindset of being annoyed by other people posting about things they like…

Based response and I’m with you. I could watch Bebop, Trigun, GiTS all day but some of the newer anime stuff just puts me right off
