@tinykinkshamer fair. it’s just a pet peeve of mine when things that are not anime are called anime, even though it really doesn’t have a legally protected destination of origin or anything
@cycm it refers specifically to Japanese created animation but because of its popularity in the US a lot of people are trying to claim it as anything cartoon
@cycm I don't understand why people cant enjoy foreign media without trying to shoehorn it into western culture like so much of the prevalent themes are inherently Japanese that they wouldn't make sense as American
