/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>12922608
The fascination of Japan with the culture of cute isn't a modern thing. Modern anime didn't ruin or actually start it. It was always prevalent in the culture. Here is a picture of old haruna.
The problem with western fandom was, they got exposed to the medium with a few selected title that catered to their mature and manly taste.
Then when they got into it and noticed about all the cute things and girly stuff, they flipped out and criticized how the industry is dying or how the japan has shit taste.
