These days I find in gaming and anime conventions/communities, it's usually a lot of pasty gay white liberals who have so much self-hatred for being American, that they flood the video game and anime communities which were sort of Asian culture. From what I've seen at conventions, it's usually the self hating white kids who wanna be anything else besides American, so they have that "alt look" and think it's suddenly cool to be in the anime community. Except they're usually gay, so you'll see them crossdresser. Girls dressing up as guys and using non-binary pronouns, and the guys are usually dressed up as girls. The straight hetero girls are usually liberal women as well. I mean why? Is anime and video games not interesting for conservatives?

It's not just video games and anime, but any media that has relevancy in the public zeitgeist. Activists working in the space see any medium with popularity as a vehicle to further their own ideology first and foremost, while innovation, novelty and creativity all take a back seat. The MESSAGE is the priority.
The tide is definitely turning though. Woke movies, shows and games are all finally getting the treatment they deserve. Most recently with the Concord video game failure, but there are plenty of recent examples across all media.
Video games and anime are most certainly another front to the ongoing culture war and they should be treated as such. Why certain users (boomers) on this board feel like it's necessary to shit all over games is beyond me, but with every thread on the topic there is a least one person virtue-signaling about their distaste of games, claiming more productive uses of time (while doom-scrolling and watching food network for 6hrs a day no doubt). For whatever reason, they seem proud of their ignorance in these areas, and are compelled to weigh-in on topics they know nothing about.
