/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>19853386
I should add that I don't really mind people enjoying memes and other secondary content without really engaging with the core content or contributing. That's going to happen, it's fairly benign behaviour on the whole, and it can be easily ignored. What I don't really like is that with old fans leaving and being replaced by new fans, the community is increasingly homogenizing. Most of the old fans grew up in the web 1.0 era where specific boards and communities were hived off from each other and developed their own unique cultures. With social media, the community and what it produces (especially in the west, which should be avoided at all costs) looks and behaves like most other things you'd see on /v/, or reddit, or even tumblr and twitter. Even real life stuff like politics is starting to infect the community. It's all the same shit now.

Thank you for reading my essay.
