The rise of anime and manga in American culture, fueled by social media platforms like TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram, has shattered stigmas and prejudices attached to the medium and its enthusiasts. The diverse anime content shared on these platforms has captivated a broader audience, expanding the reach of the medium. Anime's commercial success and increasing diversity have transformed public perception, making it a highly regarded form of entertainment. However, within the animanga community, there is a toxic side: elitism. Elitism perpetuates stereotypes, division, and toxicity, hindering the community's growth and open-mindedness. Today’s video essay (featuring some friends of mine) delves into the issue of elitism, exploring its origins, impact, and misconceptions while advocating for a more inclusive and supportive community that embraces diverse perspectives.
