Keep anime-manga Japanese. That's the sentiment in Japan among creators and fans who are sick of the Western anime fan base, which has been escalating since 2020... with renewed tension after GACHIAKUTA mangaka Kei Urana deactivates her X account. Along with posts like the "attention Japanese artists" message from 2021, there is a lot of new chatter on Japanese social media like LINE, art sites like Pixiv, note, and other Japanese-language communities, where there are greater calls to keep westerners away from anime, with tools like region blocks, locking comments, and keeping the fan base Japanese. They are calling the American fans the "American yakuza" as they demand insane headcanons, ship wars, or demand changes that clash with the creator's vision of the manga or anime. They want skin color changes, make characters trans or lesbian etc, or even demand changes to the story or lore to accommodate their delusional fantasies. When the demands are met with stonewalling or pushback, these "fans" engage in a full-on harassment campaign, with massively abusive language against the manga author and a general state of online freakout. This intensified since COVID, where hoodweebs, and alphabet mafia weebs have become obsessed with anime, not as legit fans, but as a manner to affirm their ideological activism. Japan wants to perserve their cultural work and its creative freedom without constant "external audits" from terminally Reddit-pilled freaks. The manga and anime industry as a whole is still chasing the global revenue stream, but the artists are closing their overseas interaction venues. The people who lose are the legit fans in the West who now lose one of their ways to communicate and show their real appreciation. But the bad actors have poisoned the well, and these psychopathic entitlement asylum residents are gonna keep on pushing the creators to gatekeep it within the JP only community, and the direct creator-fan bridge has been burned.
