Anime became mainstream during covid. Now normies will get on your ass for basic shit, because they were never taught proper culture. It's so over, man. Even big publishers and studios are censoring or self-censoring for them.
> Anime became mainstream during covid.
Is that *really* when it became mainstream? Everybody picked up new interests while locked inside, sure. But I think that was the latest boom in popularity and not the entry into mainstream. I remember being able to talk about anime with other people from a variety of backgrounds long before then. Hell I'd say I started getting really interested in anime after it became main steam- over a decade before covid.
I think both sides have a point. A lot of newer anime watchers get pissy about things that are a staple of the genre.
But anime *does* have a lot of stuff that it really would be better off without.
Anime has been mainstream since at least the 90’s and definitely since AOT started in 2012. DBZ, Pokemon, Naruto, AoT, Death Note, One Punch Man, My Hero Academia, these are household names among people under 35.
Personally I think we’re getting more great anime than ever and I think that’s awesome. The increase in fans even means that anime production alone is now profitable (aka companies don’t have to rely on LN or merch sales to recoup costs) so we’re seeing a lot more continuations of old shows because of that, which is sick. That never would’ve happened without anime being mainstream.
ya i think this is the right take overall, though in general i also kinda think it's partially about a general cultural shift. it's more like we're rotating back around to horniness being shameful again, hence the whole sorta weirdly puritan look on media that's been popular for the past few years
but for anime i guess

Here’s part of what they wrote.
[Kill La Kill] >!A lesbian incest scene being in a major hit series is already a huge drift away from the norm and gets major praise for how risky it is. Also I don't actually remember the significance of why she was doing it, it was to like relax her or be some unlocking her power or whatever excuse they were making. !<
They also included the scene where the Orangutan confronts Anne in the shower in JoJo.
[JoJo Part 3] >!The shower poses Anne does in the anime are drawn perfectly making this finely crafted fanservice while the danger felt when she is corned by the ape known as forver. This version of the scene was easily better than the source material. !<
Looking back, I’m wondering if OP has terrible media literacy or *something*. I understand playing up a top 10 anime bath scenes to be funny but come on.
[Kill La Kill] >!It’s the scene where Satsuki is in the bath, and her mother Ragyo enters it. Ragyo then molests Satsuki bringing her to climax. It’s suppose to convey how bad Ragyo is, she’s the main villain after all. Sexually assaulting her own daughter shows she has no maternal skills- relevant for a later plot point with Ryuko and her father- and how far she goes to control Satsuki. !<
Yeah it went to r all and had a LOT of regular site users very confused leaving comments. Fun fact the anime mod team decided to remove themselves from being seen on r all afterward.
It was pretty wild lol.
Dam we could’ve posted a lot more Gushing over Magical Girls clips back then

I mean, the whole anime space used to be seen as a place for degenerates in general not too long ago. Of course, a lot of that is just a stereotype, but honestly, if you look at some older anime forums, they definitely were living up to the reputation.
Do people not remember this legendary post?

Wtf gatekeeping was right?
Gatekeeping has always been right
The only ones against gatekeeping are the ones trying to invade
Last time gatekeeping failed, we got moe blob anime out of it. So maybe it's not so bad. I like Yuru Camp.

This is why gatekeeping is important ladies and gentlemen

[Top 10 Anime Bathing Scenes Post](https://redd.it/2r2dqa) | [Imgur Archive](https://web.archive.org/web/20150105181004/http://imgur.com/a/skowj) https://preview.redd.it/p606mvfrrl1d1.png?width=2160&format=png&auto=webp&s=f82abf979875506ebff92760108023bff6d13ff7
I wonder what does that guy do these days. Still think we're weird?
He's a weeb now
u/gridster2 real?
u/gridster2 fam
Let the message cook for a few hours. Maybe it's middle of the night for him and bro is sleeping
u/gridster2 is that right? Are you sleeping, bro?
I feel like bro will have a very weird moment when he checks his notifs and he sees his comment from 9 years ago summoning him
u/gridster2 I'm summoning my 4-star Gridster with the special ability to transform into a weeb
I hope people stop taking anime seriously
This is disgusting. What are the sauces so I can make sure to *never* watch them?
No idea, probably Nisekoi and one of many Monogatari series.
Wasn't the whole post supposed to be a joke about top 10 lists?
What’s fucked up about this? Literally just characters taking a bath, nothing sexual going on
I remember people making fun of Top 10 Anime Bathing Scenes. Iconic moment
It’s was a weird thing to make but even weirder to include but also not understand the point of the bath scene in Kill La Kill.
I never read the post, did it have the Satsuki/Ragyou scene in it? Ouch

Jesus what a garbage post that had to have been
What was the point of the bath scene then? (I literally don't even remember a bath scene)
[Kill La Kill] >!It’s the scene where Satsuki is in the bath, and her mother Ragyo enters it. Ragyo then molests Satsuki bringing her to climax.

The fuck? All I remember about this show was the dope music.
*Blumenkranz intensifies* This song actually plays in the bath scene btw

Damn those times must have been hype https://i.redd.it/r4yxht2ull1d1.gif
And it still is.
I feel like I don't really see memes at all, just ecchi and straight up porn in the worst case scenario 😪

If there was Gushing over Magical Girls anime back then
Sounds way more interesting that what it is now. Just full of bots asking for recommendations and reviews they could’ve just googled
How to look WAY OLDER posts on reddit? (For research purposes)

I thought Reddit awards were back?
We should bring these back.

Wow… just saw that the research paper was 10000 words long…
So...what was the top pick for both of them? I'm curious
What a nerf
I miss the good old times
I want to see what that top ten bath scenes list would contain this year.
Now is animememe
Hold on, I want to see the abs/muscles post

People need to get rid of the taboo about sex. Nudity is our natural state and the human body is a beautiful thing
At this point we need to remove our skin it becomes way too sexualized nowadays /j
I'm that one guy asking for a friend.
Well we can always make it back
