Gamergate was a warmup for the current US political climate so by all measures it was incredibly successful. Like who do we know who's constantly blaming and demonizing journalists and minority voices for any problem while empowering corporations and bigots?

Personally the reason I never read anime people as asian as a kid was because they all had blonde/red/brown hair. If all the characters in Sailor Moon had jet black hair I probably woulda figured it out.

CharlestheHammer posted:What? Comics have fan service to, that’s what everyone calls it. Is anime the first time you’ve ever heard that term? Because comics was the first place I heard it. People didn't call titties fan service until the anime subculture blew up in the early 90s. Before then, Fan Service was things like Spock showing up in an episode of TNG: something that isn't necessarily serving the story but it's a thing fans of something are happy to see regardless of context. Like easter eggs, almost. People used to call blatant T&A "cheesecake", but then horrible anime fans started using the term fanservice for no reason I can discern, and it spread from there. It doesn't make sense really, because it kind of makes you look bad if you use it. If panty shots are fan service, what does it say about the fans? Lol gently caress off.

New Atheism is entirely made up of neo-reactionaries and was one of the pillars of online toxic thought from which the alt-right emerged. Bill Maher is a perfect example of that kind of dipshit: perfectly willing to criticize organized religion, but then goes on to decide that religion itself is a sign of stupidity and weakness, and therefore any nation or culture more devout than his own is inferior and evil.

There's a pretty easy out to being a nazi, it's called not being a nazi anymore and saying "Sorry I was a nazi, I hate nazis now". No one is branded for life for having a bad ideology unless they stand by it (or commit actual hate crimes in its name obviously).

LORD OF BOOTY posted:the problem is that "actually, no, queer people shouldn't be put to death" isn't what those people are hearing, because our messaging loving sucks. None of what you're describing is an issue with the left's messaging, it's an issue with corporations run by right wingers, libertarians and outright nazis holding the reins of every modern media platform. There's nothing we can do to prevent Sargon of Akkad from finding the ugliest person with pink hair and bad political opinions on youtube and editing them out of context to make them seem outright insane.

The left's problem is that everyone who is supposed to represent us is financially incentivized to do the opposite. It's insane how much time and energy is wasted in trying to repackage our messaging, as if the perfect argument is gonna convince a Trump voter to suddenly support unions.

joehonkie posted:I feel like cross-dressing and trans characters are an old staple of anime, although I wouldn't have a broad field of knowledge here. It is, even though most of them aren't transgender in the way we'd think of it nowadays. Ranma 1/2 is an obvious example of mangas and animes from back in the day dealing with such themes. Next these idiots will be complaining that the SJWs put giant robots in there.

I'm friends with people who work in official translations of various manga and anime, and people assigning malicious motives to them and assuming that they're messing with the integrity of the work (despite not knowing even rudimentary japanese and having no way to check) is nothing new. Idiots will swear by fan translations that have horrendous grammar and get every other word wrong as the "true" version of the anime simply because it seems more japanesey to them to use bad sentence construction.

I'm hardly an expert but as I understand it, there are a lot of subcultures in Japan that defy gender norms and they've existed for a long time. Japan's mainstream society is very patriarchal, traditionalist and sexist (though getting better in recent decades), but there are corners of pop culture and subcultures that have pushed back heavily against this norm and have substantial followings. I'm sure anime's explorations of the subjects have some relation to these groups. Korea has similar subcultures that are even more accepted in the mainstream. There's probably books and documentaries about these topics out there, I just have no idea where.

We are homestuck with that bullshit comic for at least another decade, so anti-semitic world war 2 fanfiction appearing under the label is cause for concern, especially since a lot of the fans are still relatively young and impressionable.

PoontifexMacksimus posted:Hm, is there a different phrase for misgendering someone as trans when they aren't? Or the same phraseology? Much like reverse racism is not a thing, misgendering is just misgendering no matter what direction you do it in. Things like this are helpful because they can be used to demonstrate how transphobic mindsets hurt cis people too. You can always count on the gators to be the goofus to our gallant.

I'm not saying every single one, obviously, but it's happened before, a lot. What sucks is that the public get 100 times angrier at a popular cosplayer who shows a lot of skin than they do at creepazoids like this. Shoulda known when the coordinated takes started popping up 10 minutes after it 'happened'.

I'm sorry to inform you that there was never a time where SJW was a term used to describe only "the extreme" elements of people who want society to not be terrible. From day one the negative associations with the term social justice came from bad faith right wingers and racists.
