Yeah, I figured we'd be on the same page about this.
"On the up side (if there is one), this infection hasn't penetrated anime / manga and video game fandom quite as deeply as it has the traditional Western fandoms, presumably because Japanese creators could honestly not give a flying fuck what these people think."
You're right in that most of the truly alarming things I've seen have come out of Western fandom. If I ever had the desire to see Frozen based on good word-of-mouth the manufactured controversies over it have sapped any desire whatsoever to see it and form my own opinions about it. I just don't fucking care any more. It took about three hours from finding out what Miss Office and Mr. Truffles even WAS to never wanting to hear about it again. That's how vicious some of these people are.
