What's the reasoning behind it?

Is it because they equate liberalism with SJWs, who to them they see as people threatening their precious loli porn?

They're split. I think you see more straight white/Asian weebs lean right, and other ethnic/sexual/whatever minorities go left.

Like online I see more right leaning, but at conventions you get more crossover with typically liberal crowds.

Interesting. I certainly see a very vocal side of anime fans online supporting Trump/ championing right-wing principles

Well, it seems a lot of anime involve super powered individuals take on oppressive empires, overwhelming foes, or fictional militaries doing cool shit. That's like conservative fantasy 101, isn't It?

I mean, I can see how some shonen anime especially would be appealing to the ideal conservative mindset. An individual, or small group of individuals, defeat an overwhelming enemy force through their own hard work, talent, and determination.

We see that kinda thing in lots anime: Dragon Ball, Gurren Lagann, Kill La Kill, Gundam, S-Cry-D, etc.

True, but also Japan also has a very glorified military history. Japanese nationalism heightened in WW2, but unlike the Germans, Japanese people are still allowed to be a bit nationalistic.

My initial thought was to agree with OP, but now that I think about it I think this is the real answer.

Definitely not. A lot of those super nerdy/greasy incels that you're thinking of like anime, but they typically aren't full-on weebs and will take every opportunity to roast a weeb. And they usually only watch the "manly" stuff like Jojo and One Punch Man.

Doesn't this kind of suggest that these two things (being a 'weeaboo' and one's political sympathies) have nothing to do with one another?

Which is weird since there are a lot of SJW themes in anime.

Are anime fans and weabs the same thing? I have a MyAnimeList with 50+ entries, but I do not see myself as a weab because I do not put Japan or its people, culture or any global imports (video games and anime) on a pedestal.

I think most of anime is straight rubbish, but like a lot of things you have to find the diamond in the rough.

Admitting most anime is trash doesn't not make you a weeb because most weebs will also admit most anime is trash. What sets the weebs apart from a normal anime lover is that a weeb will watch the trash anyway.

this is not true. you seriously just said that all alt righters watch anime. so alt righters who are 60 years old are into Sword Art Online?

also when I was in highschool, all weebs were liberal. I've never met a conservative anime in person, in my entire life.

it's also liberal fantasy 101.

EVERYONE wants to do that. an antifa will fantasize about single handedly taking down Trump in anime fasion, just like a conservative will fantasize about single handely defeating the UN or something.

That's just one of the effects of being incredibly obsessed with a country's culture, it's not THE reason that sets you apart from normal people.

Weaboos lean right while anime fans lean left.

this must be the new generation of weaboos. weaboos in the late 90's and early 2000's were liberal

Bro it's 2018 if you've seen an anime episode that isn't DBZ or Pokemon, you're a weeb. Nah but the term is thrown around so much that most people use it ironically. It's about offensive as the word 'normie'. Just don't blindly worship a country because they make decent cartoons.

there are 3 stages

1. normal person. they either don't watch anime at all, or they watch one series, or just a few episodes here and there or whatever

2. anime fan. they are really into anime and watch it all the time. they really enjoy it

3. weaboo. they go beyond just watchng the shows and they worship the country of Japan. and think that anime is a reflection of actual life in Japan, and they think Japan is the greatest nation on earth

I'm admitting that empathy is not something I value highly in political views, yes.

It all goes back to empathy vs logic. Two different types of people, two different sets of values.

Empathy and logic are not mutually exclusive, and to imply that right-wingers, especially the far-right, value "logic" in any way is flatly hilarious.

Logic isn't the same as reasoning. Just like empathy can be misplaced.
