Let me take a stab at it. It's fascist because the country continues to exist despite the fact that not only was it built on a foundation of genocide, that was it's raison d'etre from the start and additionally one of the most high-profile war criminals in the government received a pardon and will likely become the leader at some point. The indigenous people are not granted sovereignty and incremental reforms appear to be the basis for hope going forward.

ToxicAcne posted:Honestly I think I liked the first FMA Anime better than Brotherhood. It's been like a decade since I've seen either though. IIRC the first one didn’t show a lot of the genocide (although I think there was another one towards the end) but it did go a little heavy on the implied rape for that one girl, Rose, I think. It did make Mustang the one who murdered Winry’s parents though which was kind of a ballsy move

I'm about 7 episodes into Re:Zero and the main character is kind of obnoxious but likng it so far. I feel like in most other shows the death would be treated as a minor inconvenience to a pretty OP ability but it's done a pretty good job selling the fact that the trauma of constantly dying would gently caress you up mentally in pretty short order.

There's a lot of fascist imagery in the show being utilized by the protagonists and it takes a bit before the story really starts to call it into question in a major way. But ultimately I think the story has thematically landed on the idea that literally everything lovely has happened because of some kind of reactionary power.

I imagine the author has a lot of complicated feelings about what happened considered his sister died and he lived, and one of the major changes he made in the short story was that he killed off the character representing him as well. But, as long as we're sharing hot takes about Grave of the Fireflies I remember a take someone on these forums had a year or two back that was that Grave of the Fireflies was right-wing and problematic because it depicted the bombing of Japan as a bad thing and asked the viewer to sympathize with citizens of a country that had been inflicting atrocities on China.

The indigenous people are not granted sovereignty and incremental reforms appear to be the basis for hope going forward. Someone else said the FMA author was fascist and then never elaborated so I tried to play devil's advocate and sketch out a position as best I could where you might be able to make that case, which I think is clear from the context when I made the post. It didn't get much traction because I don't think it's a particularly strong argument.

KaptainKrunk posted:Yeah Marley is unambiguously evil. They want to conquer and genocide Eldia for natural resources and then would probably have murdered all the Eldians, including the warriors, for good measure. I haven't read much further but I know Eren decides that the only way to be safe from genocide is to counter genocide everyone else, and I'm not exactly sure if any character has offered a real alternative to that position. There doesn't seem to be one in-universe tbh. AFAIK the narrative is pretty unambiguous in presenting what Eren's doing as horrific and unforgivable but it almost feels like the (at this point) inevitable endpoint of a series of repeating cycles of fascism that are so firmly entrenched that no one knows how to escape them other than the core cast of disillusioned child soldiers that recognize how war and nationalism has ruined their lives.

Yossarian-22 posted:watching fmab as a teen made me more sympathetic toward iraqis and palestinians when i saw the episodes about the ishvalan war of extermination. scar was the best character in that show As silly as the MLP/Holocaust post is, there is something to be said about how using characters to tell stories engages our brain in ways that simple facts don't. I don't know if it has to do with the parts of our brain that recognize patterns or what but I do think we're more easily wired to find empathy with someone we can put a face to than we are to an abstract figure on a page even if one of them is fake and the other are hundreds of thousands of actual real, dead people. E: Also, and I can't think of a non-idiotic way to phrase it, but I think there's also a distinction between knowing something and feeling it, if that makes sense? Like I think it's possible to know intellectually that something has happened that is terrible without having a visceral emotional response. christmas boots has issued a correction as of 23:09 on Mar 4, 2021 |

It's important to instill a strong moral code from a young age. That's why I would immediately recommend Death Note if you haven't already done so.
