					<description><![CDATA[Absolutely 100% agree, it&#039;s how most of us came to love Japanese Works in the first place. Pandering to Global Standards and SEA Laws will ruin Japanese Anime in the long run and could potentially make it as bad as the Japanese AAA Gaming Industry in which has been losing it&#039;s identity as a whole barely staying alive.

					<description><![CDATA[It won&#039;t let me reply directly for some reason, but I agree with you @Cal

However yes, mostly on Twitter, people complain about anime and games and pretty much all Japanese media and how it &quot;caters to weirdos&quot; (replace weirdos with anything else you can think of for them to try to put down Japanese culture fans, like virgin, loser, even p*do, etc) and needs to stop with fanservice, characters who are smaller/have a &quot;younger appearance&quot;, regardless of this character&#039;s age in the actual show or piece of content, and certain personalities, even voices (which are done to make the character sound younger and cuter), and all that, and thus they want them to cater to Western audiences. Look at the slop English-language localizers produce for the OFFICIAL &quot;translations&quot; of big Japanese games, like the Trails series even. There was a lot of drama surrounding that, a lot of NIS games&#039;s NISA releases, even Paper Mario TTYD for the Switch (which while having a script that felt like it was written by a bunch of fucking toddlers, learning that they changed things even in the Japanese release, was the ultimate shocking moment for me). Mangakas, artists and other creators face a lot of harassment and abuse by unhinged freaks on twitter and elsewhere. Death threats, etc. Many Japanese artists have been bullied into deleting their twitter accounts. There was also the Uzaki chan anime/manga and everything else related to it, like various advertisements and things. It triggers a lot of people and they start lame ass pity party movements against this stuff.

And most of this seems to come from black spaces, and groups I&#039;d only refer to as tourists in the negative way, who&#039;ve never even visited Japan and probably never will. The type of people who celebrated anime being banned in Texas by a bunch of boomers who don&#039;t know wtf anime even is, not realizing most of their favorite anime would be affected. Real geniuses, I know.
And I say this as someone who is Asian and Black, among other things. Mixed, basically. Seeing how majority of black people and in these spaces in general talk about anime and Japanese culture/media, is overall pathetic and makes me question why they don&#039;t just pick a different fucking hobby lmao. My family isn&#039;t like this at all, but most of my other black friends&#039; default is to be haters so maybe that&#039;s part of it IDK. I could never understand it myself. Feels like a waste of valuable energy that could be used for something else, like focusing on the things you enjoy. But maybe that&#039;s just me lol.

All it takes to trigger these mfs is say one word: &quot;loli&quot; and they all lose their fucking shit <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />
Do I need to remind you about the drama with the character Rebecca from Cyberpunk Edgerunners who is objectively a loli? And people on Twitter, and even a discord group I used to be in before peacing out, had literal meltdowns crying that she isn&#039;t a loli because they like her. Supersize XXL copium and delusion. It&#039;s definitely willful ignorance at its finest. Bc being a loli is first and foremost about a character&#039;s size and build, and secondly can involve some mannerisms but it&#039;s not like a requirement. Because you like a character who happens to be in a category of something you don&#039;t like, they simply aren&#039;t that thing. It&#039;s crazy how they don&#039;t see the logical fallacy, or think that no one else sees it, and calling it out from an argumentative standpoint and nothing else, is an invitation for being personally attacked and sent death threats. That discord group where I said somethin like &quot;If you want to trigger someone on twitter, just call Rebecca a loli&quot; or something and they threatened to ban me lmao. Like how soft can you be? <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Anyways yeah

Also. To close out of here. There are only 2 sexes. (and intersex is still male or female because it has xx or xy chromosomes only)
Can&#039;t wait to see everyone cope and seethe over this factual statement by someone who actually knows real science and biology and isn&#039;t swayed by some disturbed runaway mental hospital patient. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />

Gender is a false construct and was pushed by known pedophiles. So actually, there are no genders. Not even 2. Two sexes, nd that&#039;s all (: Have fun burning in hell if you disagree though! More power to you! You&#039;ll find that Satan is very accepting. Hell is a very &quot;safe space&quot; for yall :333]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sean, is &quot;woke&quot; in the room with us? Typing Americans always saying crap like that. 

I remember loving anime because it was a window to a different culture.

					<description><![CDATA[Immense respect to Anno for saying it so simply. I think my customers are becoming trained consumers for the market, whether trained to accept mediocrity or desire endless remakes since nostalgia&#039;s weaponization. I grew up adapting to something or accepting something wasn&#039;t for me. A customer has the choice and creator provides for their target audience. 

Admittedly, I&#039;ve never like Evangelion lol! I&#039;ve like a few things he&#039;s done,but I think I like hoe big a fan of things he is and tried his hand at them.]]></description>

All the shows that cater to being inclusive to everyone usually suck, lack any good writing. The moment you try to take away the artists original concept, the work loses meaning. Sometimes you make a garbage movie anyway but the greatest films, shows or games made were made with a specific idea, a project of passion and usually a line of thought that cannot be recreated or reproduced. Maybe American artists and content creators should consider this. The anime market wasn&#039;t necessarily made for us, but those who enjoy it do so for what it is. Most American content is also just made for Americans, most of our media doesn&#039;t really translate either, situationally or literally.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wait he sold Gundam wing to be woke? What are you talking about the middle east pilot that is blonde and blue eyed? Gundam is about war and how bad it always is for humanity and since it&#039;s talking about all of the human race in a couple massive governments; It&#039;s one of the few stories where including all races would be completely fine with the lore. Note that I do not support woke slop but I don&#039;t care about any tastefull inclusion. 
My main gripe and I think the one that affects most of us with woke is they do sloppy work with characters being defined entirely by their race or sexuality.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I personally like this approach, because I like anime for the reflection of the Japanese media. 
Watched my first anime in 1986 and there have always been some shows, which were influenced by the west, which wasn&#039;t always the best way for the media but also great execution with cultural influences due to history. 
The US animation also is usually more focused on the US culture and the French portrait their culture as well. 
The media is kind of a mirror of the society where it was produced. 
Germans also have their own media and sometimes they get fame abroad but it&#039;s generally the story, which sparks interest to catch a wider audience.]]></description>
