During the Cold War, White men in the West—alongside East Asian men in allied capitalist nations like Japan—were positioned as the primary beneficiaries and stewards of modern industrial civilization. In exchange for loyalty to the liberal capitalist order, they were granted access to economic stability, social respectability, and cultural affirmation. This wasn’t supremacist in the formal sense, but it was hierarchical: White identity remained the implicit norm, and deviations from it were considered peripheral or foreign. Postwar Japan, particularly during the Showa era (1950s–1980s), absorbed many of the same values—discipline, merit, family order, technophilia, and male responsibility—through its close alignment with the U.S. As a result, cultural exports like Nintendo games and anime carried forward a shared civilizational ethos, one that was designed with the sensibilities of White and Japanese middle-class men in mind. These works reflected a world where duty, achievement, and tradition lived comfortably alongside modern consumerism and technological progress.

Following the Cold War’s end, the West shifted toward globalism, multiculturalism, and institutional ideologies like DEI, reframing identity away from Cold War normativity. For many White men—especially outside elite or academic circles—this shift felt like cultural exile. Where they were once affirmed by the system, they were now implicitly pathologized or de-centered by it. In contrast, Japan retained its ethnocentric cultural continuity longer, and its media never fully adopted the guilt-laden narratives that reshaped the Western public sphere. For this reason, many disaffected or alienated White men have found a sense of belonging, meaning, or resonance in Japanese pop culture—not because it’s escapist or exotic, but because it echoes the moral and aesthetic codes of a world they once trusted. In this sense, anime and video games aren’t just entertainment; they’re artifacts of a lost cultural language, one that still speaks to a displaced identity seeking relevance in a modernity no longer built in its image.

Why stop it? True weebs will continue watching and reading what they like and not interact with normies at all.

I believe there will always be content for true weebs, normies might sloppify the industry even more, but I have hope. And we have a backlog of good shit that will last a long time, maybe normies will fuck off eventually
