I'm from a non-Western cultural background, and while I'm not going to say analysis of Eastern culture through a Western lens is useless, a whole lot of it heavily biased and ignores culture, context, and history in favor of calling out all the ways it deviates from Western norms which are accepted as superior and ideal without question... ironically from a stance that should really seek to question Western social norms just as much.

Analysis of Western culture through an Eastern lens is similarly heavily biased.

I agree that the issue exists. But in practice, people in anime fandom seem more interested in gesturing at the idea and using it as a blanket defense against criticism than they do in actually engaging with the idea. Again, in my experience.

I agree some people use it as a shield to be dismissive of any criticism, which is unfortunate. But I can see where some of those people are coming from since so much of the criticism is bad. It's like 99% of fanfiction, you have to be willing to sift through the crap and lots of people aren't. :(
