How Anime Avatars on Twitter Help Explain Politics Online in 2015

So for practical purposes, if you are besieged by trolls and are also okay with blocking people who might be extremely intelligent and engaging and also fervent otaku,
all you need to know is that the “anime avatar” is a mostly though not entirely reliable indicator of trolldom, and block anyone you see with one.
But I would suggest you not. Blocking egg avatars makes sense to me: They generally represent a type and a politics you are familiar with.
They’re essentially talk-radio listeners and racist uncles, only online. There are no familiar IRL equivalents to anime avatars. Yet.
