What I found confusing in her entry is that she equates anime fans with Japanophiles. Ummm. . . . Except that there are lots of people who aren't anime fans, find hentai abhorrent, and would never cosplay, and are still fascinated by, say, medieval Japanese culture. Conversly, many anime fans have no fucking clue about Japan in general, only about what can be found in anime (journaller excepted, of course). They are not the same thing, although I suppose anime fandom might be considered a subset of Japanophilia.
