Yeah but why does this stuff take root so aggressively in sites dedicated to these specific things?

Anime seems like the most ubiquitous common denominator here. These days when I see an Anime avatar and the person is not Japanese, it seems like 90% of the time if I look at their messages it's all misogyny, fascism, racism, etc.

Selection bias can factor into it - watching anime isn't (didn't use to be?) very socially acceptable, so people who don't mind flaunting it on an avatar might be those who don't have much to lose anyway.
