I wonder if this person has watched any popular anime. The most watched stuff on TV is not what you guys like to fawn over on message boards. Basically, you got what you asked for.

Needs more lightening.
Contrary to what one may think that doesn't really help with Evangelion, like, at all. You'd get further reading Norse mythology for the Thor movies and comics.
From briefly skimming this thread something that I haven't seen mentioned is the alt-right's general infatuation with Japan and Japanese culture.
Japan appeals to them for many reasons: it's a country with deeply rooted misogyny where women have very particular expectations placed on them, it's a very homogenous country rife with racism that at times is almost flaunted (discrimination against Koreans and Chinese). Japan doesn't exactly accommodate immigrants like much of Europe does.
Overall Japan is a counrry that the alt-right wants the US/Europe to aspire to.

There absolutely is an overlap, there are absolutely horrible people into all kinds of things, but you don't really see nazis overlapping too much with... I don't know, miniature train enthusiasts, lol. And it's very noticeable considering anime is not mainstream entertainnent in English speaking countries.
Anyway yeah, I feel bad for anime fans because these people are not a good look for the fandom (and anime by itself doesn't need a lot of help to look bad to be honest).

Except here in Japan there are hate speech laws (getting more attention lately in fact), gun control, and recently it's become much easier to get a visa / citizenship. But of course pedo cartoons don't teach people that.

I don't get it.Pff
Might just be trying to say he's enjoying a trip on a nice boat. Getting his head off of anime and onto other topics.

Walk blessed, for you have not undergone School Day's demented wiles, and are best left that way. *fades into shadows*

I don't think it has anything to do with anime really but more to do with the demographic of pasty white folk with persecution complexes and poor social adjustment skills that also have nerdy interests.
Internet echo chambers combined with probably a few personality disorders along with a convenient narrative that explains their failures as a consequence of a system designed to oppress them helps turn them into what they are maybe.
I'll admit that I used to browse /r9k/ a lot in college (around 09/10) and I noticed it made me a much more bitter person easily paralyzed into inaction and quick to blame others for my shortcomings, so I stopped going there. The effect of the hivemind is very real.

They are usually socially inept people that wouldn't really talk to someone outside of their family if it wasn't for the internet.
Is that supposed to be jack the ripper the serial killer who murder prostitutes and berserk.

So for the record are meme avatars ok, or are we worse than Hitler?
Meme avatars are irrelevant and no one cares about them.

It's not really just people with anime avatars, it's more people with white anime girl avatars.
Even Wendy?
ESPECIALLY Wendy
So I'm a Nazi after all?
Futa I can totally understand, but NTR is barely above vanilla porn.

American fans of anything take things to the extreme. Take the pepe meme for example,a fairly innocous meme to begin with that eventually became the symbol of the alt-right.

You only need to spend ten seconds in a pregame lobby with voicechat to figure that out.
It's also a country that's dying because of its daft anti-immigration policy and ultra low birth rates. Japan represents a warning to what would happen in Western countries if they embraced the policies the Alties/Nazis advocate.
I deliberately avoid online gaming these days because of that shit. I get called a "fag" and "cuck" enough already on YouTube as it is.
What? You didn't know how MLP promotes white supremacy and misogyny?
Or been like me and... probably... many others, and found out how it went down at the end from online friends going "what the FUCK!?"

I don't like my post, deleted.
Now are you simply saying the Bible with that picture or are you referencing Bible Black?
