On not getting cancelled, years ago one of those anime girl streamers got into hot water for mentioning Taiwan? I don’t know where that falls under culture war. Famously you have John Cena begging Chinese audiences for forgiveness after mentioning Taiwan.
On many of these anime girls not being attractive in real life. That’s part of the appeal, I imagine. They actually seem to play video games? Less caking on make up and trying to build up a parasocial bond with an audience of lonely men. Well there’s some of that. The baby voice thing is grating. Especially on English. I’m of an era when the English dub of JRPGs and anime were people speaking normal English. Yes it could be stilted and bad. But they weren’t trying to emulate the cadence and pitch of the Japanese dub.
