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.

Couldn't be that a systemically homophobic country with a media landscape pushing hard on queerphobic stochastic terror propaganda would empower dickheads to attack queer people. No, the murderer must secretly be gay.
Couldn't be that a systemically homophobic society would confuse and frustrate ignorant savages without critical thinking skills, who also happen to be having gay feelings that they have been socialized to despise since childhood.
Why are you so keen to blame homophobic violence on gay people?
I'm not blaming gays in general, but I also have a lot of life experience that demonstrates that often the loudest, most vicious homophobic politicians, preachers, etc., almost always eventually get caught with gay men. If you are that angry about gays simply existing, it is likely because you have unresolved internal hatred.
It is simply a fact that unhappy closeted gays are often the gay community's worst enemies. I don't blame "gays" for that, I blame a homophobic society that demonizes gay orientations, and forces weak people to deny their own truth.
What do you think the percentage of homophobic violence is carried out by cishets Vs closeted homosexuals? Because from my experience it is overwhelmingly bigoted cishets doing this sorta shit.
In place of trying to extrapolate a whole-arse sexual complex of someone neither of us know anything about I'd prefer to stick with what's more likely.
Especially because this sorta self blaming of the queer community for its suffering has historically been used to minimise it (gay panic defences being used in cases murdered transfemmes for example).
