4chan is an anime website, its userbase consists of emotionally stunted maladjusted social rejects who spent their formative years arguing on 4chan and watching anime instead of achieving normal life milestones. As such they are severely out-of-touch with the wider culture that they're trying to sell games to.
Anime is still a niche, and it's very well catered to by mobile gatcha slop, which provide a standard of anime girl that the average agdg dev cannot meet. You can also see those games have a disproportionate effect on the users of 4chan because /vg/ itself is flooded with general threads for these games.
It's a big problem, and a casual glance at https://made-by-agdg.vercel.app/ I can't really see any agdg game over 500 reviews that features an anime artstyle except maybe Peripeteia and maybe World of Horror but if that's an 'anime' style it's very much closer to the oldschool/realistic end of the spectrum than the uwu big eye underage girls that agdg seems to be obsessed with.
Anyway my game doesn't have anime in it so it's not my problem.
