And my experience has been to see the fandom slowly get taken over by leftist/feminists. All the way back in 2011 a friend of mine was cosplaying as Yoko from Gurren Lagann and was getting shamed for it because there was this movement against sexy cosplays at cons starting back then. I was starting to hear stories from other cons about cosplayers being forced to go change or risk getting kicked out of cons and saw an example of that myself at this same con. Every year at the cons I've gone to I saw more and more regressive left shit about "diversity and inclusion." It's kind of like how every year more and more furries would show up.

And of course the localization companies are full of leftists now, so there's all kinds of shit with them changing the scripts for political reasons. You can't even trust subs anymore because so many fan groups that make so-called "fan-subs" are just stealing them from the localizers.
) when steamships and Admiral Perry made trade & travel back and forth more practical. So, really, Gosar's silliness and anime references on the floor of Congress is just carrying-on the fine American tradition of latching onto Japanese products and cultural associations--like the big cherry blossom festival DC does thanks to Japan's gifting of those back in the day.
All true, and I agree that there has been Japanese influence in America from pretty early on (they are good farmers, and we had a lot of fertile frontier to develop or gold to mine.On overly-serious slightly-humorous note related to this, and something I know @S'task has mentioned a time or two at length, the US has basically had the functional equivalent of a Weeb Caucus, and certainly a weeb demographic in the population, for basically its entire existence. And that just got better (worse?
