japan isn't racist because it's a monoculture so much as it's a monoculture because it's racist

japanese people have been thinking ill of their fellow asians for centuries and their refusal to allow migration, that they desperately need, is a continuation of that historic trend

china is growing more monoethnic all the time because centuries old historic trends of cultural imperialism are still at work and have been at work for a long time

this poo poo is not new, and in fact the countries have become more monodimensional because of historic attitudes to their minorities and neighbours

no im looking at demographics and saying "hmm well they show that it's largely monoethnic" and saying "yep i can see why they have problems with foreigners/people outside their ethnicity". im not buying into any myths about these places being only for that ethnicity, that's something youre thrusting on me for whatever disingenuous reasons you have.

how is this an argument at all or are you seriously asserting that ethnic homogeneity doesnt breed mistrust of people outside that ethnicity :wtc:

That sucks. Grant Morrison is my favorite comic writer and I was waiting for the trade collection. :( Although after how Batman Inc ended up having to end, I get the feeling he's done with Superheros.

The stillborn birth characterizes joe and rictus and the cult as a whole. Joe only cares about women in their breeding capacity. War boys like rictus have latent but warped humanity. Also it tells us again that humans are being born mutant and pure humans like Max are incredibly rare and valuable.

imho Grant always seems to lack respect for analogs or off-branded superheroes, so it's either he writes for the Big Two or he goes off-genre.

Which is fine

Blaming Japanese racism on isolation rather than a long tradition of viewing themselves as ethnically superior seems naive.

The birth scene gives us Joe's motivation- he's trying to figure out how to ensure healthy babies instead of deformed and terminally ill ones.

Joe seemed to be imho searching for a genetically healthy son to succeed him which explains the value he put in the relatively healthy and genetically distinct wives. But again he only values women as donors. Donors of milk or donors of kids. Max is interestingly feminized in this way as he also is a donor. Instead of milk he donates blood and death.

I'm saying ethnic isolation contributes to the problem, other goons are the ones who are acting as if I'm saying that's the only factor. :rolleyes:

wait hold up does it explicitly say this or are you talking metaphorically, because I agree with the latter but might have missed the former.

That makes sense. He seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't respect someone for just recoloring a known hero so they can get away with doing what they wan't with it.

Edit: It's Superman! Except he doesn't give a gently caress! :c00lbutt:

Women donate in order their milk their Uteruses their seeds like LITERAL SEEDS MAN in a leather pouch!!! (It's a metaphor for ovaries) and then finally her life

But of course Furiosa is resurrected to an exalted state by the blood sacrifice and donation of Max.

idk if i agree with the statement that it's a mad max movie that's not "about" mad max. while furiosa commands attention because she stone cold owns, max is the one who undergoes the emotional transformation and has his identity shaped through the events of the film, whereas furiosa is p. assured and confident in her identity imo.

It's kinda fun really. way back when i was living there i can remember both being treated poorly some places and hearing an old dude scold a bunch of kids in a bar for behaving disrespectfully around us. It's a weird thing. The older people remember getting their asses handed to them and it keeps their inherent racism in check; some of the younger generation has to be reminded to not let it run crazy. They should really just find a balance.

while all the rig characters achieve their desired end, only max's desired end at the end of the film is different than his desired end at the beginning (or ~15 minutes in if you want)

The product of women milk and babies is commoditized and commercialized and the the hero transports her precious cargo of milk and wombs to the ends of the barren road only to find barren women who offer her nothing nothing but the cleansing journey into an oblivion of sand but she won't be redeemed
And then steps in the other hero the male universal donor most connected to the plight of women in this context who says "retaliate first"
