Yeah, I hate talk of the "anime fandom" and "anime community" too. There isn't one community, we all have our own spaces and don't talk to each other much. r/anime can be awful all it wants, I'll never be there so it doesn't matter. I guess it makes more sense for Rev specifically to get upset with youtube and twitter anime tourists since that's where his community is, but presenting that as the whole space is dumb. Maybe he is that dumb though and doesn't realize there's more to the internet.
Real problem is every single company that handles localizing anime and other Japanese media is exclusively staffed by puritanical leftists. Their shitty translations and dubs are what hit the pirate sites first, and there isn't much infrastructure to enable going around them. Either they need to get kicked out and replaced by people who like anime as it is, or we need to make more fan translations and get better at distributing them.
There's also pre-censorship, where even the japanese release is butchered for Los Angeles sensibilities. Re:zero had some outfits covered up, and Dragon Quest is the most egregious recent example. Nintendo, Square enix, and Sony are all massive problems. Sega is also letting American tourists write sonic games.
