Your use of the term “open space” is interesting. The Comic Market could probably be considered a closed space but 600,000 annual attendants at a convention that glorifies and commercializes copyright infringement (to a good extent) suggests that there’s spaces in Japan for this sort of thing.
- euske 7y agoDoujin works organically grew underground before the internet era. I think the sole reason that doujin work is now somehow tolerated is that they're not minority anymore. They're big enough to gain public acknowledgement, but if a similar activity is attempted today by a much smaller group, they would be crushed by the public. It sucks to be a minority in Japan.
