| Recently I had this post pop up on my Twitter feed: It had Devilman Lady in it, which I've watched quite recently, one of the reasons being that I found it in one of those old /a/ "Before posting here, watch this" charts. That kinda reminded that many of my actions (Which I jokingly called "my dharma" in other threads) are aspiring this ideal of an anime fan from the 2000's and early 2010's, probably because I was very influenced by those types of people when I was getting deeper into anime, so I guess I created "imaginary ones" in my head I'm always seeking approval of, like a child seeks approval from their parents. I guess those are my "ideal fandom". What about you, what's the ideal that guides your anime habits? |
| Interesting that your screencap mentions Noir, that was a really influential anime for me. thewiru said: Pretty much the same for me. The entirety of the way I live is from the 2000s/early 2010s, I don't have social media of any kind and pretty much all of the western media I consume is from then (even some stuff from the 1970s/1980s/1990s), so I guess it's natural that I gravitate toward anime from that era. I also started out with "/a/ watch this before posting" charts and asking for recommendations there.aspiring this ideal of an anime fan from the 2000's and early 2010's I definitely feel like a 2000s otaku who was half a decade late to the party. |

| What is the purpose of following this ideal fandom you have? I don’t really know what anime fans from the 2000s–2010s were like so I’m curious why that period feels like an ideal to you. I am too lazy to read through your other threads which would probably answer my questions. :) |
| The ideal fandom is sexually open-minded. |
