Anime comes from Japan which already is generally pretty racist. Almost all anime characters are drawn to look like typical white people and ethnic stereotypes are pretty obvious in anime. There’s also a good number of anime that low key supports a Nazi Germany type world. Some Isekai animes the main characters backstory is they come from a world where Nazi Germany won WW2. They play this down in the anime but it’s way stronger in the manga’s and even moreso in the novels. It really ruins anime for those of us that just like animated shows in general and want something with actual story which western media can barely even do with shows involving real humans.
Also most anime fans overlap with being terminally online gamer types so all that too.
i mean shows like Gundam always show Zeon(or the Zeon equavilent) in a more positive light than the Federation, this is also very obvious in Thunderbolt from what i’ve remember
There are still plenty that don’t do this. Seems like the trend is getting more obvious with more recent animes. Also there’s some pretty good ones coming out from China I hear. I absolutely love Scissors Seven. Easily in my top 10. It’s just so corny yet also has a serious note to it. Definitely recommend if you haven’t seen it.

It hurts because I really do like anime. But then I see all the blatant fascist propaganda or genocide denial it makes me sick to my stomach.
