The whole internet loves Mew, a lovely pokemon that floats around playing with woodland creatures! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you the pokemon is racist
Yeah, you know how in the first movie mwetwo is like, "I guess it doesn't matter who a person is or how they were born" and then mew gives him the side eye? There is a conversation about japanese nativism that goes there. Well, something like that anyway. Poké japan ethocentrism with sus cottage core vibes.
In Japanese mew gets lines and they are all rascist.
Instead of trying to fix it. They just gave them chirpy noises and called it a day.

The little baby noises are a big step up.
Lmao wtf why do they have a racist magic god cat in a child's series made to sell child's toys
You say that like we don't have pervasive anti-commie narratives in our kids stories. Not equating the two, but propaganda is a thing for kids.
Same reason as always. lingering post war rascism. Specifically about the chinese born japanese reintegrating into Japan
I will elect not to know this
