though i think there's a solid argument to be made for most of these being conservative, even if not in ways this guy would necessarily recognize as such. name a series on this and i could find a legitimate, not a bit reason it's reactionary. that goes triple for one piece
This has to be a bit, theres no way they can't know that Miyazaki is a leftist
And fucking ONE PIECE?!?
miyazaki's work broadly is very retvrn with a v. all about how we gotta go back to this pastoral fantasy, with mononoke being especially bad about this. his environmentalism is a reactionary environmentalism. and that's not even getting into his hardon for the japanese war machine. miyazaki would hate these people but there's so much for them to latch onto in his work
one piece, in addition to all the 'we gotta return the rightful king to the throne!' and skypiea and fishman island, has some of the most rancid transphobia you'll ever find. even if oda is trying to make up for that these days, it still has that and it's incredibly bad
First thoughts are Skypeia and the
way Oda draws women.
I mean skypeia is an arc about supporting a land back movement. This guy probably just thinks fighting the government as an anarchist is conservative or something else really stupid.
no the fuck it is not! skypeia is an arc about supporting a settler colonialist revanchist movement and convincing the land back movement they need to be nicer to the settlers. it's about returning the rightful king to the throne, as 90% of one piece arcs are. one piece is so fucking conservative
Kiki is such an insane choice.
It's literally about creativity, burnout, female agency and independence.
The cottage core shit is also like a single artist so I dunno what this freak is on.
she's a child laborer doing small business stuff
this doesn't make the movie bad or anything, but there's a conservative read
It's truly an incredible way one could mangle the movie lol. God, that just hurts.
