A Mainstream Menace is someone who out trounces his more talented fellows and still ensures that what we consider mainstream is rather subjective.
Akiyuki Shinbo has become a long term Mainstream Menace by having redefined both anime and Japanese meme culture from the 1980s to the 2020s, partly thanks to his wildly excessive use of Wakame Shadows from early in his career.
