Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro
| I didn't know having a Gyaru MC is controversial. I guess that's why Jinx is now purple. The West will never surprise with their ideological assertion |

| another thread on nagatoro controversy? This is moving faster than I thought. |

Dragevard said: I didn't know having a Gyaru MC is controversial. I guess that's why Jinx is now purple. The West will never surprise with their ideological assertion I mean, it wouldn't be something controversial if many anime fans were not so oversensitive about any forms of being rude towards women or hurting them by men, but were completely okay if it's the opposite (a woman is rude towards a man or hurts him). Check out how some people went ape after seeing a cartoon for rather mature viewers (due to violence, blood and some ecchi stuff happening here or there), called "Goblin Slayer", simply because this anime had one scene with goblins raping kidnapped women; a scene thst was to show how vile and ruthless creatures the goblins are and how it's not a bad thing to hate them. So it's either to leave ideology behind and just watch the show (I opt for this option), or try to mix your political and ethical ideas with an anime whose plot is not connected to any of these (political and ethical beliefs of any sort). Sadly, the latter seems to be more and more popular among anime fans. |
| I don't think Nagatoro is a Gyaru |
| @EmmyMoomin, while I dunno if I'm gonna watch this show myself, I don't want to see it being framed as "a very bad anime promoting toxic content" just because somebody was triggered somehow by its concept. |

I'd also add that the people drumming up controversies were likely never going to watch or read the shit they're whining about to begin with. Just a bunch of virtue signaling for a nonexistent "offended" group. |
| Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast. Yeah. I said it. |
| >gyaru >black hair do you even gyaru op |
 |
| Nah, what? Don't tell me this is seriously an issue with some people lmao |
 |
| 1. She is not a gyaru. 2. There is no controversy. I have seen maybe a couple tweets that were about a different issue, that's about it. Nothing about this anime is controversial so far. |

The West will never surprise with their ideological assertion Lmao who even types this kind of shit unironically |
| Japanese people can be brown you know? Lol |

What is up with certain anime fans blaming everything on "the west" like...I sense very massive strawman energy.... this comes off as just manufactured outrage from conservative anime fans for no reason other than "why is a non-white person in my anime????". "The west" is usually just an inconsistent umbrella term people use to dodge the total lack of substance or coherence in their arguments. People, especially reactionary anime fans, talk about Japan in a bubble as if America (and other "Western" countries) haven't exerted massive influence on the nation for the last 75 years lmao. People like the OP love to act as though some kind of anime covenant has been breached by the insane twitter-leftist-socialist-SJW industrial complex, and that it is his duty to raise concerns of worrying trends he sees in his japanese animations. |
| She isn't gyaru. She's more like delinquent. Hair color doesn't mean shit. Gyaru is fashion style which often mean hair dyed to blond, pink or mulitple colors but there are black haired gyaru pics on boorus (and in real life). Being tanned also isn't mandatory for that style. |
 |
| of course there are black haired gyaru irl, but anime -- and especially manga since they're in black and white -- like to portray characters on the stereotypical side of things and gyaru are no exception |
|
| Her being tan was the controversy, as if that should be racist in itself or something, can't make sense of stupidity. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |

There's not a single non-while character in the entire anime, though: she's tanned. THIS is the controversy; people like you getting triggered by her tan and calling others racist/pedo. |

Ratohnhaketon said: You have much to learn if you have not joined the witch hunt to down vote every anime that rises above our underrated favorites. I am currently on a campaign to get Training with Hinako into the top 12. Shit taste is hard to fight though, it's like trying to talk sense to an army of hallucinating loonies.
