Why were there more and more anime lovers unwilling to call themselves two-dimensional?
Perhaps it was because more and more people realized that the 2D culture was not a single, exclusive concept, but included many different art forms and communities. At the same time, with the continuous development and evolution of the two-dimensional culture, its definition and meaning were also constantly changing and expanding. Therefore, some anime lovers might no longer view the 2D culture as a unique and exclusive concept, but more diverse and inclusive. They might prefer to be called anime lovers or people who liked a particular kind of anime rather than just limited to the small circle of two-dimensional culture. In addition, the 2D culture was also controversial and criticized in some aspects. For example, some content and behavior in the two-dimensional culture might cause dissatisfaction and disgust among some people. Therefore, some anime lovers might be more willing to keep a low profile and be cautious to avoid unnecessary controversy and conflict in public. In short, with the continuous development and evolution of the 2D culture, anime lovers were no longer limited to the small circle of 2D culture, but more diverse and inclusive. They might prefer to keep a low profile and be cautious to avoid unnecessary controversy and conflict in public.
