Any reason why they’re so into anime? I never got that. Ever since this sub got really flooded with „transbians“ it’s full of anime shit.

Because they hate reality.

Edit: instead of enjoying cartoons and anime as entertainment, they try to make it a "reality". Like an extreme form of escapism.

Makes sense I guess. Just strange how they all flock to this in particular, when there’s lots of other genres that let you „escape reality“. But maybe trying to turn into reality like you said, makes more sense with this genre.

Because anime has a ton of fetishisation in the shows themselves, outside of being fetishists by fans. You're not as likely to see panty shots and harems and horny antics in western media. Not to mention the entire subgenre of "cute girls doing cute things" that usually has underage teenage girls as main characters which get fetishised to all hell.
