>at least the nerds of the earlier days did shit like run conventions, tape and distribute bootlegs, make websites to discuss anime, and write books about the stuff they watched
ah so apparently this doesn't happen anymore
conventions don't happen anymore and distributing tapes hasn't evolved to torrenting, nope
i wonder if there's still an active website people use to discuss anime... nah no way
it would be crazy if people did stuff like collect figures or write and discuss anime or run fanpages, after all, it's purely passive consumption
