user98: Should we assume a culture neutral perspective when asking a question or it's fine to assume Anime & Manga SE is written mainly from foreigners and consequently all question are asked in a non-Japanese cultural perspective?
This issue started to bugs me from What differentiates anime from regular cartoons, where "regular" stands for non-anime. Answers to that question clarify how limited that point of view is because, by a Japanese point of view, "regular cartoons" are anime, but the question "foreigner" perspective is still intact.
Three options are available, here a very rough list:

Japanese perspective: because anime are from Japan (producer perspective)
Foreigner perspective: because Anime & Manga SE is written in English mainly for a foreign audience (foreigner watcher perspective)
Neutral perspective: because objectivity and neutrality are major constraints.

Supposing neutral perspective is adopted, should questions have to be rewritten to adapt to that perspective?

user24: In the particular case you have listed, I'd rather the title be changed to "What differentiates anime from other cartoons?" (changing "regular" to "other"), which I guess is the neutral perspective. It seems to me that it is best to use objective terms whenever possible.
However, I don't think we should change every question and answer to fit with one particular perspective. It's not a very important consideration, as Alenanno has said. If there's an easy way to change it to the objective perspective, then I think it's alright to do so, but if you find that you have to rewrite entire sentences to accomplish it, then you're probably infringing on the original author's stylistic rights.
tl;dr: We should not mandate a particular perspective, but we should support the objective perspective whenever it is convenient to do so.
