Has anyone else noticed since Tan Cirno's reveal that racist comments have been appearing more often within the western fandom? People either saying n-Cirno or n-rino? I imagine its even worse on Warosu /jp/ or /v/
Its really vile.
In short, Anime fandom (Which the 2hu fandom overlaps with) has always been misogynistic and racist as hell. Partially because Japan is a very bigoted country that has had a long history of racism, sexism, and pedophilia, and also partially because most of it is centered in America, a country with a just as horrifically racist history as japan*, this has always naturally attracted a LOT of horrible human beings. Neo-Nazis, MRAs, Red Pillers, Lolicon fanatics, ect.
With fascism under going a rebirth (That i think will led to a new age of hatred and oppression not seen since WW2, but thats besides the point), its not surprising alot of horrible people are saying and horrible shit about Touhou, alot of people are very angry at ZUN for promoting pro-immigration views in his works right now.
*Please note that i am NOT saying that all Japanese or all Americans are bigoted, just that hatred is a big problem in those countries. There are absolutely other countries that have just as much problems with those issues, but those countries aren't really relevant right now.
