I think the anti-Americanism among artists only relates to not wanting to deal with hypocritical American policies on nudity and their tendency to impose their views on everyone.

They're very likely perfectly fine with Americans and foreigners in general seeing and sharing work without trying to change the culture of the site (which is fair and something more communities need to start expecting, there's an increasingly popular idea that various hobbies have been ruined by uninvested "tourists" that come into the community, force it to change to accomodate them, then leave after the original audience has been alienated).

I don't know. Maybe I've spent too much time on the worst part of the Japanese internet. Not about Pixiv, but the kicking out of Dlsite by Mastercard caused so much anger among them.

The social divide is getting really worrying these days.

That's actually exactly the incident I was thinking of, my interpretation of the reaction to it was everyone being frustrated at American companies forcing their beliefs on everyone again, rather than being happy that American consumers were having it harder. It could also just be that my little circle is a niche within a niche though.
