    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

      Try again

        bordering on mental illness

        If they're referring to their own transphobia, then I've got a cure.
