I don't understand why there some JoJo fans are history revisionists. Saying things like "JoJo was always popular outside of Japan. Even before the anime".
No, it wasn't. Sure, it was popular among the manga hipster crowd. But here's the thing: the manga hipster crowd do not represent the manga/anime community at large. Not everyone is a fucking hipster.
"But it was pretty popular in Europe! Just look at Italy and France!"
.... You do realize that Italy and France do NOT represent the entirety of Europe, right?
"B-but the Za Warudo/Road Roller meme"
Most people who knew the meme did NOT know where it came from. They just thought "hahaha, funny road roller crushing people".
