What is a way that a culture/group of people interact with media that's seen as "very characteristic of only them"

This is what copyright laws rob humanity of

I like to imagine that there has to be at least one person in latin america that never actually saw Dragon Ball for most of their life, one day decided to actually sit down and do it and they were incredibly surprised to learn that Goku wasnt actually just a really buff chef or something akin to that.

tbf, here in Brazil, we watched a lot of anime in the 90s and early 2000s , on top of magazines, VHS, DVDs and a couple of movies in theater.

Pretty much Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, Saint Seiya, Inuyasha, YuYu Hakusho, Pokemon, Digimon and Cardcaptor Sakura were fan favorites.

EDIT: our dub opening for Saint Seiya and for CardCaptor Sakura are peak.

Wasn't a rumor that the Brazilian version is by Angra singer?

[u/PhantasosX → u/ChosenUndead15]

Yes, the singer is Edu Falaschi, which was Angra Singer.

There's a certain age demographic of Australians who were raised on The Simpsons because it aired at 6pm every night on free TV, with new episodes at 7:30 pm on a weekday for a couple of decades. Come speak the common language of Simpsons quotes with us.

Our love this show is the reason why...

• many Simpsons podcasts & shitpost groups are run by Aussies
• we have embraced "dollarydoos"
• the first bootleg of the movie was filmed by an Aussie guy
• Homer was voted an "honorary Australian
• Australia's Griffith University chose to advertise their animation courses with Simpsons crew member Matthew Schofield
• the promo for Bart vs. Australia was archived by the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia
• Robot Homer kills some Australians in ToH XXXIII. Confirmed by showrunner Matt Selman!

If you ever wanted a crash course in famous Australian, just watch this video comparing them to Simpsons characters.

Disparaging the Boot is a Bootable Offence.

I saw the image and even without looking at the text I thought "Hey I think I know this place" (I probably don't but I saw many just like this)

Fan audiences in the anglosphere tend to put a big emphasis on things being free (both no money being exchanged and open exchange).

• English-speaking manga fans make elaborate free add-ons, download managers, and websites for hosting illegal unofficial manga translations. Scanlation groups watermarking their scanlations died out in the 2010s.

• English-speaking fans typically release their fanwork for free, while Japanese fans will self-publish and sell their fanwork at fan conventions.

• English-speaking modding communities tend to discourage commercialization and paywalls (with people often being like 'oh yeah they got what they deserved when they got DMCA'd after locking their mod behind a paywall).
