    I wonder if being anime fans makes us more open to liberal ideas such as marriage equality since

    we’re more exposed to them in what we choose to watch.

    I think that would depend on the person, what kind of shows they watch, and whether or not they think of anime as something more than just pure entertainment for them. If so, then the ideas presented in such shows might actually mean something to them. Most people probably don’t put that much thought into it though.

    The irony here is that Japan itself is actually far less open-minded to anything that doesn’t conform to the norm. It’s just their entertainment industry that has few qualms with targeting specific demographics with any and every kind of show/movie/comic/porn/etc you could possibly imagine as long as they think they can make money off of it, whereas despite most Western countries becoming more open-minded as of late, their entertainment industries (of the US in particular) are far too concerned with being politically correct to branch out much.
