    I don’t think that’s a big proportion, I assume most just weren’t allowed or too anxious to express how they felt about the media.

    (Just a hunch, I’m likely cis; I also haven’t been exposed to anime or emotionally heavy cartoons until 15, and even then very sporadically)

      Yep, this is me. I felt a lot of pressure (from outside and the inside) to conform to what “real boys” liked. And kept my true interests hidden.
