If you think about it deeply and have some knowledge about the general history of anime, westaboos were far more prevalent between artists and content creators in Japan than weebs are in the west until recently: anime of the past were made by people who looked to the world around them and were inspired, yes by those trappings of their child-hood and the culture around them, but also by the art, history, culture, and ideas of the world at large. Maybe they were Otaku in the pure sense of the world, but they were artists above all. Now anime is made by and large Otaku, or rather a new breed of Otaku, anime Otaku, anime is the world around them and the work they create draws upon anime and video games (newer isekais though aren't even influenced by videogames anymore, just other isekai series) and the tropes within that. The audience then feeds on this self-referential incestuous bath-water of entertainment. For the Otaku escapist, this stuff is crack. Lately this demographic, and young boys age 12-18 is what has been driving the market HOWEVER, I have no doubt that as these Otaku artists grow and mature out of their 30s into their 40s (and lets be honest the 12-16y/o demo isn't growing in Japan with the aging population problem going on) anime will mature along with them, and will see stories that reflect their changing interests and they perhaps broaden their horizons to take inspiration from things that aren't the shows and pop-culture they grew up with.

Weebs are trying to escape a stifling culture that hates fun and soul.
Westaboos are adopting stuff they like into their own comfy and ludic art world.

Ultimately Jap artists are always better and happier because they have the discipline to put effort into their stuff but also the stoicism and mental stability to realize it's really just leisure and should be fun.

Weebs wouldn’t trash western media as much as they do if anime wasn’t popular to hate back in the 2000s and early 2010s. This is mainly them trying to get back at the /co/ retards that showed so much disdain towards anime.

I don't understand what people see in non anime art. Anime/Manga was not always beautiful, but always had soul. Now they have soul and the best quality. It is impressive how everything the otaku culture touches is just superior. Music, art, books.

Because Westaboos are copying the superior west, while Weeaboos are just making more anime slop.

you are correct but that's Hayo's Miyazaki take from back in 2011~ from where the meme came from:
>Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It's produced by humans who can't stand looking at other humans. And that's why the industry is full of otaku!
he was dead on about this. We are now seeing this in the west too,only not in animation because animation in the west died, but look at western film, tvshow, video games. The people making them are coosoomers. Not artists. Artists distill life itself and pour it into their creations.

Miyazaki is not only an otaku but a lolicon at that. Dude's even said "What's wrong with loving a 12 year old girl" before.

Not to mention his close relationship with Anno who is a known otaku and hates people that write them off.

I think it's just because artists from the 3 major asian countries are much harder on themselves. They don't want participation trophies and are willing to put every free hour into practice, many even after coming home from their full time jobs.
