You’re not addressing a problem by reblogging that quote as a joke. somewhere out there, a young asian girl may be crying after being forced to webcam at the age of 9.Īnd if you did mean it, then what? if you did mean you hated it, then what? you hate it for every reason but a right one. then you log onto tumblr and say that it’s “not really pedophilia” over fanart like it’s not part of one big system. little fucking kids stalked online and in real life by self proclaimed weebs with loli/shotacon fetishes. japanese people being sexually assaulted by white self proclaimed weebs with yellow fever in their own country. you call yourselves “weebs” to “reclaim” the term, purposefuly ignoring how so many **young** asian people have been harmed by the term. there are real reasons to hate the industry. this is why i hate all of you saying “i hate anime teehee” as you marathon snk and no game no life on kissanime.īecause you don’t. This is why i hate white western fans reblog this quote out of context. but imperialism is still alive and well in japan.Īnd huge portions of the anime industry is built off it. What happened to japan as a nation during the meiji reformation and after the war with the occupation was inhumane.

that there are still marches this decade that promote the drowning of chinese and koreans in the bays and killing us. it matters when there are still marches in japan happening this decade that celebrate hitler’s birthday. it continues to promote either borderline to outright nationalistic attitudes, and still dehumanizes chinese and korean characters. it’s total trash for what a huge portion of the industry has stood for, producing widespread scenes of rape, pedophilia, fetishism. How many of you watch anime that has a shallow chinese or korean character(s) or a sexy korean/chinese girl in a bastardized, revealing rendition of their traditional dress? How many of you, yeah our followers as well, watch hetalia? the whole premise of the show being nazi and imperialist apologism and when the creator literally said before that he thinks that the rest of asia wants to/should be under imperial japanese rule again. How many of you watch attack on titan, which is pure imperialist propaganda? How many of you still praise ouran highschool host club when they literally portrayed feminists as nazis, which is bad enough but considering japan’s past? how many times have you actually seen the flag outright in anime? the flag in which the “asian holocaust” was created under. How many times have any of you seen scenes in anime where the background changes to something similar to sun rays to show motivation? how many of you know that it’s a direct reference to the rising sun flag. a lot of it provides for largely a older male audience and includes a lot of fetishism and blatant imperialist content. not only is it just irritating, but they have no idea what it actually entails in their western frame of view.Īnime is largely bad. That’s actually why i despise it when western anime fans reblog the quote “anime was a mistake”.

I think he has specific opinions and critiques of craft and storytelling, message and values, politics and culture, as conveyed by art. So I don’t think Miyazaki is simply being an eccentric moody artist when he says things like “Anime was a mistake, it’s nothing but trash”. Miyazaki is equally critical of the US. When “Spirited Away” won an Oscar in 2003, he refused to travel to Hollywood to accept the award, later explaining “I didn’t want to visit a country that was bombing Iraq”. Needless to say, there’s something twisted about achieving a ban on war by means of an atomic holocaust but Miyazaki, a child of World War II and its horrors, supports the ban. He’s been a vocal critic of prime minister Shinzō Abe’s politics, including the denial of Japanese war crimes and sex slavery, the ceremonial honouring of Japanese war criminals, and the proposal to amend the Constitution to re-introduce the possibility of war.Īs it stands, the Constitution of Japan includes the remarkable Article 9 which outlaws war - a measure which was forcefully imposed by the US after dropping two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Miyazaki abhors a certain strain of Japanese nationalism which has seen something of a resurgence in recent years and crept into the chaotic free-for-all of anime and manga storytelling. The great Miyazaki is somewhat famous for his sweeping dismissals, but I believe there’s political substance behind his curt condemnations of mainstream culture. Anime was a mistake, it’s nothing but trash.” “Those who identify as ‘otaku’ sicken me deeply.
