Yes I mean, I'm aware of neets and etc. I just kinda assume they would have been that way with or without anime. As a teen in the 00s in a small town I was a weirdo for liking it. I wasn't too vocal about it. But if someone asked I told them, hey, anime isn't just Pokemon kids show. They are for adults too. Like Family Guy or South Park, it's animated but not for kids. And for someone with a pervy sense of humor it was head and shoulders above western adult comedy animated or otherwise. Watching like, a harem show, usually with a virgin and clueless MC. I didn't watch that and be like "I am entitled to this IRL" I watched it and thought "I wouldn't be a bitch like that guy I'd bang them all the first time they showed a hint of wanting it". Now I watch with my wife. Idk. It could be that because Japan was so much different culturally than us that it affected more of them in different ways.
"Neets"? That's a new term for me. I think you are right that many such guys would be like that regardless, be it video games or whatever. I think it's a similar case with all of this trans degeneracy. The internet has provided a way for these people to feed off of each others' unhealthy obsessions and it exacerbates the situation. Instead of being isolated and perhaps have their peers keep them in line, they feed off each other's energy.
It used to be that the whole "hikikomori" thing was a solely Japanese phenomenon, but now this has proliferated in the USA as well. My theory is that the vaccines are causing these kids to have such great anxiety issues that they cannot deal with life, so they stop going to school. The internet situation probably amplifies this negative frequency. I can't pretend to have the answers and perhaps I'm just talking out of my ass. My sister married a guy who apparently refuses to work. I don't even ask about him when I talk to her, so as not to bring up any sore feelings. I'm a huge nerd myself, so I have friends who have never been married. I guess you could call them "incels," but they have never even bothered trying out matchmaking services like this topic about Elon Musk entails.

Not in Education, Employment, or Training. Basement dwellers. Idk where the term came from I picked it up on the chains years ago.
