What is the connection that I'm missing? Whenever there is an awful person on Twitter more than likely they are using an anime avatar. It gives Anime a bad rep and I don't know why they use them.

.Because much of the alt-right is made up of losers from 4chan.
This, and confirmation bias.Because much of the alt-right is made up of losers from 4chan.
Just maga avatars with an n.What about manga avatars?
This. Places like 4chan that rejected moderation turned into cess-pits that were co-opted by extremists into recruiting grounds. Also, confirmation bias. I don't think the alt-right is related to anime specifically ao much as nerd culture in general. Videogaming, anime, tabletop gaming, comics, fantasy and popular movie/television fandoms have all produced alt-right types.Because much of the alt-right is made up of losers from 4chan.
Like every time this subject comes up, this thread is giving me the urge to get an anime avatar out of spite.

In recent years a good chunk of anime also exclusively caters to stunted manchildren which is what most of the modern Nazis that don't live in the boonies are comprised of.Anime is filled to the brim with awful tropes.

Anime is filled to the brim with awful tropes.
Yep. Even as a consumer of anime (and Japanese media in general) I recognize that I have no choice but to filter out a significant chunk of the content that is produced because so much of it is not just garbage, but outright disgusting garbage that pushes some real shitty (mostly anti-women) tropes.In recent years a good chunk of anime also exclusively caters to stunted manchildren which is what most of the modern Nazis that don't live in the boonies are comprised of.
