Great piece by @joshuabowes.bsky.social on how the far right appropriates anime aesthetics and sometimes the wider subcultures of anime fandom.

Outstanding work by @joshuabowes.bsky.social, an up-and-coming extremism scholar. Ties together Gamergate, anime, chan culture, idealization of Japan as an ethnostate, and far-right ideology.
