There's no arguing the truth of that point. I wouldn't be too gloomy about the whole marginalisation of anime/manga, though. Considering that Western interest in Japanese/Asian culture and language is undeniably increasing, I'm quite positive that anime/manga will one day be accepted as a mainstream form of leisure. Perhaps we should enjoy this underestimated leisure activity as much as we can before future overexposure in Western media dulls and dilutes its appeal?

"It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -from the film Coach Carter
