    That keeps out the visually impaired.

    And favouring walking and riding a bicycle over driving a car is gatekeeping of transport because it keeps out the disabled. What a bizarre argument/accusation.

    It requires a lot more cognitive effort to watch, and takes your eyes off the actual animation that you are meant to enjoy.

    It doesn’t, as long as your reading skills are above that of a 12-year-old.

    People in the US who watch foreign films in different languages have a similar subculture.

    Bruh, what? Non-English films aren’t dubbed enough in the first place for this to be a metric for a “subculture”.

      Car-centric infrastructure is far more detrimental to people with mobility impairments than any other mode of transportation. I would recommend you research what gold urbanism is if you’re saying stuff like this.

      Reading literally engages different parts of your brain that are otherwise dormant. And as I mentioned, sometimes I want to watch stuff while high. Sometimes I want to give my eyes a break from using my glasses or reading things in fine detail.

      I didn’t mention this before, but it is also very common for myself and a lot of other people to be doing other things and having TV on in the background. While i’m working or cooking or doing dishes or engaging in hobbies like soldering or woodworking. Especially with incredibly long anime like One Piece… That is a whole lot of hours to dedicate to doing absolutely nothing else. Netflix has talked about how they make “second screen” content now. Personally I find the idea of scrolling some social media in your phone while watching something to be a terrible idea, but its also often enjoyable to just listen to an anime.

      Sure.
