>>75847716Also as far as 4chan is concerned I've been here since late 2005. But I also think that doesn't matter for me or for anyone else anymore since that culture has died out entirely. The whole of anime culture as such has next to nothing in feel and content like it was back then, nor does the Internet, nor does anything for that matter.
But you fuckers have it a bit better, I think. I'm from fucking Croatia, nobody here even knows anime exists or is a thing. They didn't when I was a teen, they sure as fuck won't now. You at least have the ability to socialize with people who share your interests, at least theoretically. For me for my entire life my interest in anime and now vtubers has been a purely virtual experience and endeavor. Count your blessings, you at least have cons and stuff.
