Date: 2014-02-07 12:21 am (UTC)I also think that the English speaking anime/manga/J-game fandom grew out of the Japanese fandom culture and adopter terms, behaviour, and modes of expression from there rather than from Western fandom. Especially during the nineties/early 2000 when English speaking a/m/Jg fandom existed largely in personal websites connected in webrings and on mailing lists and archives.
But as a history of Western Media Fandom this was a great read!
