I have an opinion about anime

it's bad

I don't care about anime. I care about the normalisation of racism, homophobia, sexualised violence against women and sexual images of children.

The medium is irrelevant.

This shouldn't be a controversial opinion.

Too bad so many people define themselves by the media they consume.


But, yes, anime is bad.

I wouldn't say it normalizes sexualized violence against women and sexual images of children because those are already normal in Japan

The correct take. Racism, sexism, homophobia etc don't come from entertainment. They're in the entertainment because the society in which they're produced is already racist, sexist, and homophobic. Bad anime is simply the end result of a bad society and if we had a better society we'd have better anime.

Basically what I'm saying is that everyone should watch that Marx anime.

Hi guy in Wyo here who keeps an eye on this poo poo with several others.

Anybody doing anything in winter here isnt going to accomplish poo poo. The previous weekend was reletivly nice until sunday, the day they did that banner drop when the wind kicked back and down town is fairly empty on sundays, as is the rest of the town. Concerning that they're confident enough to act publicly, but theyre keeping it to off hours instead of the summer where theres a concert and a crowd in the depot every friday.

The neolib poo poo is definitely part of it and you can see a clear connection between the hikikomoris and the herbivores and other childless adults with economic factors in surveys and statistics. For example no one there can afford childcare so one of the reforms to encourage births is to make it free. Shows how desperate they are to go against their neolib instincts to do that. but I also just kind of think once a society gets advanced enough everyone stops loving and Japan is the most advanced country on Earth

tbf to Japan it's not like entertainment produced in America or Europe is really any better. Here in the West you've got poo poo like J.K Rowling writing goblins as greedy hooknosed bankers, a bunch of superhero comics tugging their dicks fantasizing about strongmen cleaning up The Scum with their fists, and then of course you have this:

It must be stated the increasingly Reactionary govenment has outright banned Independent Films that criticze the government or Japanese society in general. Its why Japan's Film Scene sucks so hard noadays

The most Leftist Gundam thing I can think of is 08th MS Team where hero and heroine end up saying gently caress everybody, gently caress war, let's all just have a hippie commune thing and take care of orphans.

Other than that I'm afraid the most Left anything will ever get is pro-liberal democracy. Which I'm not against personally but I guess some are. Although I'm not sure how the constant featuring of a one world government features into Left/Right spectrum.

I'm no expert in Japanese politics or culture but so far as I can tell the country is just as liberal as most "Western" countries. It's just that they have a notoriously apathetic citizenry about voting. Not so different from us - the Right are far more militant about voting than more Left Wing or Centrist people.
