The roughly mid-90's and earlier (generally pre-Toonami, pre-anime boom) era of anime & manga fandom: early cons, clubs, tape trading, Nth Generation VHS fansubs, old magazines & fanzines, fandubs, ancient merchandise, rec.arts.anime, and more!
Hi! A few months ago, I asked on the forum about early anime fandom and sexism as I was writing a paper on it (see: viewtopic.php?t=1572 - the discussion is archived that's why I am making a new post ). Thank you for your insights on the matter, it was very useful to crosscheck information.
The paper got published last week! "“Do female anime fans exist?” The impact of women-exclusionary discourses on rec.arts.anime" https://doi.org/10.1080/24701475.2022.2109265. I also mention the index of important figures in the anime fandom that members of the forum are making! It's not in open access but if you look for the title online, you should find a preprint . You can also message me directly ever!
I was never a member of the Something Awful forums, though I do have a lot of friends who were. Occasionally I'd see mentions of "ADTRW," without ever knowing what those initials stood for. And now I know. Thanks, I think?

Congrats on finishing and publishing your paper! I can tell you put in a lot of work and research into this one just by looking at all your citations! Is there a way to read this without having to buy it? I'd love to give it a read, but $47 is a little out of my price range at the moment, unfortunately.
