    It's so obvious that the west sees gaming as nothing but a propaganda tool for recruitment. They're talking about games that involve real countries at war as if that's the only kind of game.

    I don't even play games with real countries in them, unless you count things like Fallout, which hardly frames the USA as the good guy, or Persona, which only involves Japan.

    Really telling when they only see media as a tool for control and manipulation, rather than a tool of creativity, fun and art.

        Welcome to my 2 hour long theory video about how Persona 5 is canonically set in an alternate universe where the Japanese won WWII. In this video I will discuss...

            In this universe Japanese teenagers killed him as a high school club activity. Sorry you had to find out this way.

              Is that from persona? I was referencing one of the weirdest scenes from part 8 of jojo, which involves a girl thinking Hawaii was part of Japan that leads to an incel stating he doesn't believe in God, and has no bearing on the plot but I'm so happy it's in it.

                I wasn't referring to any specific thing, just the general feel of anime shit.

                  I'm not trying to claim you ripped of EVA or anything. Arguably it looks more like the gates of gehenna from Blue Exorcist. I was just saying I was sorta getting that general feeling from it. You see what you know in art, I think.
