>>46039963>Can't speak about what's happening on the continent thoughFrom my experience literally nothing, maybe it's different among younger generations but there wasn't a single person among my friend groups in high school and college that was into anime. It's not like I was hidding my own interest either, it was like being into a niche band, your friends know about it but there's not much to talk because they're not interested and you're not going to push it down their throats. And on rare ocassions you do meet someone who's also into weeb shit it wouldn't be a, omg we should be friends thing, it was just a brief you like anime huh, me too, cool. People don't define their personalities around their hobbies so there's no community to form.
