| Art is meant to tell a story and that story can have politics involved. Historically art such as photography have been very political and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s 100% okay for anime or any other art form to include politics in them imo. |

Also, as far as "feminism" in anime is concerned. I believe that it's actually the fact that Japanese culture has always been very conservative in female's societal roles but modern Japanese culture is starting to change a bit (a very tiny bit) in regards to that, and anime is beginning to reflect that, that coupled with what I said in my previous post is most likely the reason you see a lot of those sort of threads these days. I read the first two pages of this thread but missed your post when I skim-read the third. Had I seen it, I wouldn't have bothered posting, because you've said just what I wanted to, but better! |

I want cool action, a story with twists, women acting feminine, and character design that doesn't make me puke. I want characters, not walking propaganda books. anime gives me what I want, while western entertainment forcibly denies me the one thing they were supposed to deliver. FUN. So you saw a handful of cases that blew up because anti-SJWs got outraged, and then you pretended your entire cake was ruined and you left? no. I saw the shows I was interested in getting bogged down by the same stuff, be it cartoons or live action. these plus the cases you mentioned were enough for me to stop caring. the last great cartoon I saw was over the garden wall, I recommend it if you havn't seen it yet. it's perfect for halloween too. |

No thanks. Already watched it. Watching Ducktales right now. The reboot. Break from Brooklyn Nine Nine since I finished the second season. |

deathby1kslimes said: I was talking about how the bad guys are using science to blow up brown people in a desert for believing in a different god and how the good guys use science to do.... not that. There is the unrealistic part - there are good guys. The worst part is how those "good guys" win - very bad real life political lesson. deathby1kslimes said: If you think that’s only happened in fiction then I have about 20 years of newspapers for you to read. Lol its not even subtle. Only 20 years? From which planet are you? This is almost every second human conflict - too generic to be a political statement. If you want that go with for example Obsolete - it talks more realistically about changes in global policy and global economy. A paradigm shift of sorts. |
