      There's a longer essay to be written on why current cohort of alt-right racists have such strong affinity to anime/manga/video games.

          When you can cloak your racism in fantasy it provides an easy way to obfuscate your real tendencies.

          Perhaps because all of those are activities you do just sitting on your ass.

          It's not just the alt-right, though... the center-left is big on fandom, too - just look at Vox's Game of Thrones articles.

          Game of Thrones is literature and over 5th grade level so I think not.

          Anime/manga/vidya come from Japan. An isolationist, xenophobic culture that dislikes minorities & values conformity. Coincidence?

          also throw in the misogynistic and sexual objectification aspect and you got a miso soup going!
