Japan is a country in the world with people living in it. Manga and anime are considered niche media there much like comics and cartoons are in the states. Not all, actually not even most Japanese media is Pervy anime, they make plenty of normal boring ass movies and TV shows and book, and anime about boring ass shit. A lot of the really weird and gross stuff you see put out is made with western audiences in mind. Many of the most popular mangas/animes in Japan are slice of life shit that would probably bore the piss out of most weebs.
I think a lot westerns like to scapegoat Japanese media simply because it’s more openly horny than western media, but really most of the fucked up shit you can find in anime is present in western media, just pruded up a bit.
I mean based on what the post is about I figured we were talking about Japanese media specifically. Japan is also a country with a history of nationalistic imperialist that’s done awful things, but I think it’s dumb to use that as a spring board to be grossed out by their weird cartoons.
Manga just means “comic” in Japanese and there are indeed very popular ones that even like normal middle aged Japanese people read. There’s some really popular one that’s basically just Japanese The Simpsons. The fucking weird shit is mostly produced for a specific demographic that even a lot of Japanese people view as kinda odd, the same way we view “nerds” over here. But much like over here being a “nerd” isn’t really all that derogatory anymore and most normal people enjoy some “nerdy” shit, same with Marvel movies getting popular.
J*pan's fucked up culture is what happens when you let the country "develop" on its own while being on a short leash the whole time. Like some sort of cultural arrested development.
So a minority of Japanese artists make transvestite/transgressive/queer characters, a few poorly socialized cringey dudes cling to those, and the whole of Japan is cancelled?
This isn't the decadence of Japanese society, it's just the decadence of global corporatized culture catering to every whim out there, including those bordering on mental illness. Japan is just less hung up on heteronormativity, which makes it look especially weird to a Western audience, but it's no more an example of social decay than Marvel movies, where the characters fit within "normal" but are sexless robots.
Bullshit, I can multi-task. Watch me hate a culture's transphobia and capitalism at the same time.
Also what the fuck are you talking about with mental illness and using the word"transvestite"? That term is a straight up slur if you didn't already know that.
Is there a more up-to-date term for cisgender crossdressers? I'm sorry for being old, I have zero intent to offend - I grew up with the term having no negative connotations.
I was trying to say that the presenter in OP's image/certain weebs may have a borderline mental illness for obsessing over these anime concepts.
Maybe I'm missing the context by a wide mile, but I really don't get where this animus is coming from. Isn't this post about the guy being cringey/weeby/extremely online? Or is this about blaming Japan for coming up with the very idea of "trap waifus" (which I'm not sure that they did)?
The point is that capitalism consumes everything, partly creating the 'decadence' that rightists whine about (while the other half they whine about is just social progress). This happens in every nation, even the ones they lionize.
catering to every whim out there, including those bordering on mental illness
Rightists: "Japan has superior social fabric compared to the decadent west"
Japan:
Japan and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
Had the Mongols destroyed Kyoto instead of Baghdad we would have Communism by now
Facts
edit: damn those hurricanes, arrived at the worst possible times.

Search up unit 731.
Japan and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. No axis country should ever have been exempted from proper judgment.

Evangelion Rebuild in Japanese theaters, superhero shit in American theaters
We're going down a bad path
Maybe “niche” isn’t the right word.

Japan has some interesting issues
So a minority of Japanese artists make transvestite/transgressive/queer characters, a few poorly socialized cringey dudes cling to those, and the whole of Japan is cancelled?

You just used it, it's crossdresser.
Cool, thanks. I appreciate someone who wants to explain, not just yell and assume malice.
The point is that capitalism consumes everything, partly creating the 'decadence' that rightists whine about (while the other half they whine about is just social progress). This happens in every nation, even the ones they lionize.
Try again
If they're referring to their own transphobia, then I've got a cure.
