You are all hypocrites. I spent time and energy writing out how it is wrong to bully weeaboos and you all mocked me. All you can do is bully people. I thought leftism was about equality and diversity. In reality, all you do is attack white men for liking art from a diverse range of countries. Anime haters will never match the charm and cuteness of Asuna Yuuki or Rei Ayanami so I am unsurprised by your jealousy. Obviously, communists could never create art as cultured and beautiful as the Japanese. Unless this time you can come up with a reasonable response I will consider this a win for me. あなたは私の刃で死ぬでしょう°

but I won’t lie I get low key “orientalism” vibes from westerns who bang the drum extra hard against anime when there’s plenty of shit within western media that deserves equal scorn

Bad things can happen in non-western countries without the criticism of them being instantly lumped in with racism.

I oppose honor killings, FGM, and related chud behavior and I’ve been told before that it makes me a “white savior” to even mention how horrid such practices are, wherever they happen. I reject those kind of arguments.

before getting your own house in order.

:seen-this-one: :up-yours-woke-moralists: “You can’t care about anything or be politically active until your room is perfect, bucko” doesn’t hold water for me, either.

I will say, persons I know a bit more familiar with anime than me claim that a lot of the more blatant creeper shit is actually more popular in the west than it is in Japan

Yeah, and for the most part my condemnation was of western creepers consuming that shit, not Japan itself. Japan as a country has its own specific political problems but talking about how some creepy westerners consume the worst versions of such products isn’t automatically racism.

Anime is a worldwide phenomenon now. Have you even visited Mexico or South America? You may be surprised to see Goku graffiti.
