On Anime

While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.

This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.

On Technical Discussion

While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome. Whether you're a budding animator seeking to understand more about the industry, or a seasoned professional sharing your experiences, you're welcome here.

You have to be right, of course, demographically speaking. There's no way the amount of bigotry we see could come entirely from a fraction of a minority, as the person above you is implying.

That said, it is difficult to reconcile that with a key feature of homophobic (and transphobic, etc.) rhetoric that is not present in racist beliefs: homosexuals are accused of choosing to be gay.

Which, of course, is as absurd as accusing someone of choosing to be black. And yet we hear one of these constantly, and never the other.

How is it even possible for someone to think that sexuality is a choice, unless they are constantly and actively "choosing" their own? That's not a rhetorical question. I genuinely can't make sense of it and that bothers me deeply.
