DO NOT use a 2d avatar ANYWHERE
DO NOT use any nu-anime communities (discord, reddit, twitter, youtube, any social media) to discuss anime
DO NOT bring up anime to people who are not already into it.
and please DO NOT try and get other people into anime, or give recommendations
In the last 5 years or so, there's been an explosion of people getting into anime who are the most cancerous trash in existence. They used to be a shonen-only crowd but they are now defiling even the pure anime that would, historically, have been out of their sight. Eventually, their numbers will be enough of a force to influence anime studios, and when that happens, anime will be done for permanently. Using 2d avatars and other communities is contributing to the death of anime.
"... indeed it is very true that, just as the most beautiful tune in the world is vulgarized beyond all bearing once the public has taken to hum it and the street organs to play it, so the work of art that has appealed to the sham connoisseurs, that is admired by the uncritical, that is not content to rouse the enthusiasm of only a chosen few, becomes for this very reason, in the eyes of the elect, a thing polluted, commonplace, almost repulsive."
