anime as a whole (in the west) isn't a niche anymore and that means a lot new different types of ppl are gonna be around
Yeah, I think this might be just 'culture shock' at the end of the day... or whatever the inverse of it is. I mostly keep to myself, writing and drawing all sorts of things, some more messed up than others. I'm not on social media, I'm not on YouTube, I don't have a MAL, I at best lurk on some alt-chans on forums (like this) or in a Matrix or IRC with a small circle of friends. Most of the people I follow who are part of the niche have 10-20k Twitter followers to their name tops, maybe DLSite purchases in the high 10k-s. I went in with the thought that this series was just another part of this underground kink scene and I guess I didn't realize the real masses aren't just the 'I watch Dragon Ball and Naruto' types anymore.
