All I'm trying to say is that admonishing against somebody who likes anime is akin to saying the same for somebody who like Game of Thrones or Riverdale or virtually any other form of entertainment. It doesn't make sense.

To be clear, I'm not admonishing anyone who likes anime (I enjoy some anime myself, particularly Studio Ghibli films). I'm not even admonishing anyone who likes this particular type of anime, even though it's admittedly not my taste. My point is that incels as a group (although not every individual, obviously) collectively enjoy a subgenre of anime that reinforces an unrealistic worldview they already possess where women are expected to be completely subservient to their boyfriends and not have any agency of their own.
By the same token, if someone was a fan of Game of Thrones and was
especially into the scenes where Joffrey and Ramsey physically and/or sexually abuse some of the female characters, that would certainly raise a red flag to me about their attitudes towards women.
