This sounds like nonsense, man. 1) Japanese media has some huge fandoms in the US, 2) Fangirling on Tumblr is not going door to door with bullhorns, demanding you love US media

The anon you reply to is making a really weird narrative (I'm not sure this is the right word, but I just woke up and English is failing me). But I have found personally that fandoms do tend to go 'big' when there's a lot of US following. I think it's just cause they're just so many.

My country has had a lot of stuff from the Japanese media translated, we've started translating manga in the late 80s, apparently, but naturally those stuff will only get international recognition if somebody translate them to English, but specifically US following seem to help with the scale and robustness of the fandom. Like, there are some good UK series whose size of fandom I sometimes puzzle over, and the difference in their sizes are usually down to whether or not the US audiences are watching.
