Hayao Miyazaki: "Charlie Hebdo was a mistake"

"Last month, the Paris offices of satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo were attacked, leaving twelve dead. Recently, however, famed Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki said he believes the French paper's Muhammad cartoons were a "mistake."

In a TBS radio interview, Miyazaki discussed the shooting, which took the lives of several of France's most famous satirical cartoonists. Miyazaki is a co-founder of Studio Ghibli and responsible for iconic anime like My Neighbor Totoro.

"For me, I think it's a mistake to make caricatures of what different cultures worship," said Miyazaki when asked about the Hebdo attack [via Yahoo! News]. "It's a good idea to stop doing that."1

That doesn't mean Miyazaki is against satire or criticism. For him, caricatures should be used in a different manner.2

"First and foremost, [caricatures] should be made of your own country's politicians." According to 47News, Miyazaki added, "It's just looks suspect to go after political leaders from other countries." 3

It's worth noting that Charlie Hebdo has also lampooned Catholicism, by far the largest religion in France, as well as numerous French politicians. 4

Nikkan Sports reports that elsewhere in the radio interview, Miyazaki expressed his concern over Japan's current prime minister and discussed the country's position in the world."

I agree. Sure, you have free rights and speech, but that does not mean you should insult a whole group and then expect not to get fucked by them.

Also, what's the point in insulting them? If they know how oversensitive some muslims can be, why push the boundaries?

So hes telling them to not satirize another culture, while he himself is judging the actions of another culture. Okayyy.... Its true people should criticize their own country more than others but that shouldnt mean it has to be ignored entirely.

Hayao Miyazaki: "The universe was a mistake"

I swear that he's turned into a grumpy old man that openly criticizes anything he disagrees with. The Charlie Hebdo caricatures definitely weren't the wisest and most logical thing they could do, but I disagree that only local politics, people and events should be subject to satire.

Hayao Miyazaki certainly is a good man, I love his films, but he's just a misanthrope indeed. Maybe that speaks as to why certain people here love him to bits.

Yeah. There's also a big difference between "a different culture" and an anti-West culture of religious extremism.

Miyazaki is right (that Hebdo was a mistake) for the wrong reasons, imo.

If you can't insult a particular group without severe backlash then they are the problem.

If you can't handle criticism you need to grow the fuck up.

People are trying to find contradictions where there are none. He criticized an action, not a culture. And did so critically. Not by being someone who's hungry for phallic-shaped/filled drawings.

What the hell does that even mean? That can be said both ways really. And what exremists do on one side, entire governments do on the other, to the one with "extremists", I'm saying extremism should not be judged as an immaculate problem, first, by nations that have their governments do the dirty work and have public support on it, and second by nations that have bred these types of extremists in the first place. Or at least paved the way for them to crawl out of their caves.

Let's try this then: Killing those artists was an expression, the blood, the bullets, the corpses, they all express, very strongly, an opinion.

So people need to grow up and get over it.

Well judging that his whole "Anime was a mistake" comment was a joke quoted out of context, can I assume this is out of context too? I mean they don't have any full statement he made, just 3 or 4 sentences . . . Out of an entire interview. I mean does it take Miyazaki 1 minute to say a single word?

On a side note, I would agree with NOT drawing Muhammad, at that point you are just intentionally upsetting a group of people. I mean the results have occurred multiple times when you poke the bear, why are people shocked it keeps happening? I do believe in Freedom of Speech, and if their was a valid reason to depict Muhammad, sure why not, but in all honesty these groups are doing so with the intent of pissing of Muslims. I don't see why they are then shocked with the results.

That may be true, but there's nothing hypocritical about Miyazaki's present comments. He's not saying anything remotely close to "it's not okay to judge other cultures"; he's saying that it's not okay to satirize foreign religious/political leaders. In making those comments, he's not satirizing any foreign religious/political leaders—there's no hypocrisy there.

This group doesn't piss off just Muslims specifically. Their cartoons are offensive to everyone: Christians, gays, black people. etc. Look up some of their covers and you can see that the entire purpose of their cartoons is to offend any type of group they can. I personally don't "approve" of what they're doing but if they want to, why not? Freedom of speech shouldn't be limited to who's offended and who's not. If they want to continue with the Mohammad cartoons with the possibility of being targeted again, then let 'em. At this rate it'll be a service that ISIS is doing by fucking them up again

Pretty much this. I would throw in that he never criticized a certain group or people, he said "you shouldn't ...", however isn't that advice? He even started with "For me," or in other words "In my opinion", hence making it clear that he was NOT trying to say that his comments were denoting their actions as "right" or "wrong".

I mean that Charlie Hebdo knew exactly who they were provoking (a group of religious extremists who believe, perhaps justly, that they are being oppressed by the West). That was part of there mistake. I don't see how any of what you wrote is relevant, but yeah, lol.

No I understand that. I'm saying that if you are going to complain about the end result of "poking the bear" then don't do it. It makes it sound like I don't care for those that died, and while I do feel bad for them, I can also say that they could have just as easily not died had they not "poked the bear". Basically it "comes with the territory". What I disagree with though, is how because of the radicals these guys stir up, it continuously sends the stereotype that all Muslims are terrorists. Of course the best solution would be for all the extremists to just "take a chill pill", but since that won't happen, the next best thing, is NOT draw Muhammad, or accept being killed should it happen.

The reason why muslims don't like mohammed being drawn is because their entire religion is against idol worship. I assume that drawing him would make him a hypocrite so that is why he said don't "draw me" because people would start worshipping him in the same way people "worship" priests ect. Obviously not applicable hear but still it seems their goal was to piss people off.

But thats the entire point I was subtly making although too spaced out to get that through. Islam is a world religion not a foreign one. Sure satirizing a foreign leader can possibly cause issues but so would critically asessing them. But if one does not assess them it isolates these countries and helps keep them stagnant and prevent change happening as easily and its already hard enough as is. Of course countries should mainly focus on their own politics though.

He's a fucking retard. That's all we need to know.
No, we don't need to stop making caricatures because people will be offended. No, we don't need to stop criticizing ideologies/etc because people will be offended.

That is absurd. We can criticize, insult, satirize, joke, debate, argue about anything and we will be answered accordingly, with criticism, insults, satire, jokes, debates and argument.

And I'm not saying he's condoning what has happened there, he didn't say that either, but he's condoning silencing others, and that goes for anyone that does the same, they're all fucking retards (the French, German and other idiots included).

LOL, the terrorists were French and born in France.


National groups can be decided by race rather than nationalism.

I'm sure he would also love democracy and secularism.

The respect one owes to his ancestors completely escapes you it seems, you probably aren't even French.

I respect what he did for France but that doesn't mean that I should behave like a sheep and share his morality and his worldview.

This is entirely his own fault indeed. Promoting racism through his cartoons will never have you been taken seriously. However, the cartoons he made were hilarious though, and rightfully so.

I was raised Catholic (now a Cultural/Lapsed Catholic) and I was subjected to discrimination due to my upbrining. Hell, Hollywood and political cartoonists and the media blast on my faith all the time and I don't see anybody killing and bombing anybody over how my people are portrayed nor do we ask people to "respect our culture" or whatever. Hey, I also don't condone what the IRA has done or what happened in the crusades either. Then again, I don't want to apologize for something that happened long before I was born and have nothing to do with.

Plus, Matt Stone and Trey Parker made a musical about the LDS faith and looked at how they reacted. They reacted with "whatever" and they didn't go off doing stupid shit to keep the musical from being performed.
