    someone recommended a manga called Fire Punch yesterday that is about this kid who regenerates in a world where everything has been frozen over so there's no food for anyone so his village chops his and his sister's arms and legs off every day to eat to survive, I only read the pilot but even that had his sister go "hey brother wanna make a baby?? we're the only young people so only we can really do it" and it's like come on Japan, why

    my brother says it's the ghost of Shinzo Abe trying to make Japanese people have children and families

      this kid who regenerates in a world where everything has been frozen over so there’s no food for anyone so his village chops his and his sister’s arms and legs off every day to eat to survive

      "Dare ye enter my magical realm?" vibes from that. :kombucha-disgust:

      ok but fire punch would still have that shit as an american product, like game of thrones or whatever

        I think American content would still generally not accept "hello brother let us have a baby" and stuff like GOT is an exception

          game of thrones was the most popular show in america for years. i don't think you can argue that it's an outlier
