Clearly they have no taste.
To be fair, it's actually looked down in many different countries.
Reasons vary from religious undertones to it being sign of poverty (didn't pay the dentists to fix it)
The reason Japan doesn't give a rat's ass is partially because in Japanese mannerism, it's considered polite to not show one's teeth. This is, as far as I know, unique to Japan. Due to such, shape of the teeth isn't a cultural taboo. The fangs were considered "cute" as it resembles immaturity of youth, and this culture is actually a hell of a lot older than manga/anime.

Only if it has certain amount of supporters and practice.
Otherwise, I can find some sick dude who eats his own shit near where you live, and claim "eating your own shit is Western America's culture".
Want me to?
