Anime backlash is only a gay rear end gringo thing, where I live there's a billion dweebs walking with death note shirts and they fill the giant convention centers where they hold anime cons. Latinos win again.

in an era where sectors of popular culture that began firmly rooted in the fringe have grown into the mainstream, perhaps continuing to be unrepentant weirdos is how anime fans keep the girls out of their treehouse so to speak, like a wild animal pissing on itself to repel predators

There's a shitton of girls who like anime and except for the sexy cosplayers they are mostly as repellent as the men.

Would be chill if everyone who wants to talk about Godard would have to spend some time talking about how disgusting Serbian Film and Gang Rape Bus 69 or whatever is

I watched a Serbian Film with my mom as a a prank

american media churns out superhero movies and reboots

Marvel is going to make 30 movies until 2020 and I feel like western civilization has reached its lowest point

The easiest western comparison to LNs is YA lit

I think Orientalism is an interesting *in Zizek voice* ideology. People believe they have something to gain by setting themselves as the opposite of the other half of the world. So if the west is the bastion of feminism necessarily the Orient is not, seeking out any of the hosed up poo poo in the industry is just confirming what they already know. Doesn't really matter that Sazae-san, the longest running anime of all time, is about a feminist etc. What I'm trying to say is that Orientalism by Edward Said is a good book

I love the East and I believe it will save humanity from the horrid system that is liberal capitalistic "democracy"
