anime is not good

Majorian posted:

Yeah, but my highest duty is to my joke, which LorrdErnie so callously ruined!!!:doom:

Also, one dead tree for a lovely manga is a tragedy. A million dead trees for lovely mangas is a statistic.

I read all my manga online, and before you try to get smart with me, my entire home is self powered using a stationary bicycle and my incredibly muscular thighs.

also how is it that anime/manga, a genre where sexual harassment played for laughs is a literal staple, still seems to be not as bad as superhero comics which apparently just have female characters get raped constantly?

Translation: you are homeless, only have a bicycle, and read manga at the public library. Got it.

It isn't better, and the Japanese are gross as gently caress w/r/t women's treatment.
I still like anime/manga, but don't delude yourself about how wretched a lot of it is.

I think the rape stuff in anime/manga is more niche, but every season or so there's some anime ADTRW collectively frowns on because it decides to use rape as a plot point or tension builder without addressing the aftermath at all. There's some bad poo poo in mainstream anime/manga though.

Fairy Tail is aimed at too much of a broad demographic to have actual rape, but it has a ton of threatened rape, humiliation stripping of female characters, torture of half naked/ fully naked female characters, just gross stuff in general. Probably on par with most of DC's missteps.

it's dumb that sentient trees are always wise and patient. they should be bumbling, stumbling, comic relief.
