I've noticed some overlap between that group and people pushing bathrooms-by-birth-sex laws and a general intolerance of so-called "deviant" behavior (seriously, just spend some time poking around the these facebook groups). The cognitive dissonance is interesting to me. People embracing their own "deviant" behavior, the fetishizing of a drawing, but seeking some form of control over what they view as aberrant.
I've never been into the anime community, but my impression is that many of the more hardcore people are the kind of immature, autistic, socially isolated people who are like dogs who bark at black people cause they're not properly socialized. They are sheltered and repressed and don't know how to deal with ideas different from their own. Easy prey for social conservatism in other words.
