In my experience watching EN speaking U.S. fandom people... there's a lot of binary/reductive thinking (at least the louder ones tend to be like that). One country must be good, the other must be bad, etc.
(tbh, the chinese media fandom side is not much better because lots of people are either China Good [because China Bad is a U.S. propaganda] or China Bad [but they will still continue to consume media while being racist and xenophobic to everyone else]).
What sparked this off anyway? Has there been a discourse about JP media?
