>>20815491>>20815492>>20815499I've said this a million times over the years and I will keep saying it: anime is popular on the internet and especially with weird social outcast groups because it appeals directly to literal autists.
think about it: three things autists struggle with majorly in social situations is facial blindness and body language.
>anime has perpetual sameface, characters are differentiated by clothing and haircut>anime translations tend to be overly literal to the point of it being a flaw, with japanese honorifics baking interpersonal relationship types directly into the dialogue instead of having to infer it like you would IRL.>"wacky" popular anime genres like slice-of-life and isekai over-exaggerate emotions and character reactions to the extreme, no subtle nuances required to understand what's going on.its the perfect shitstorm of terrible media and terrible fanbase
