Re: the fans, what has struck me online in the past few years is their tendency to import manga/anime tropes into entirely unrelated fandoms, regardless of cultural appropriateness. It was, I think, the source of the problems I had with the group I was slung out of last year - yaoi and hentai concepts, & c.
