I SAID IT! FUCK JAPAN! It's the uninterrupted continuation of Imperial Japan, and it unilaterally deserves it's just condemnation for the horror it's wrecked across Asia.

    Japan is legitimately an existential threat to the global revolution and progress, not a joke. Their media empire promoting reactionary regressive messages (read: anime) is immensely popular worldwide, pushing an entire generation of teens into the edge of fascism where they can be easily reeled in further.

    I'm not memeing, this is really disconcerting.

      I don't think that it's quite as bad as you are making it out to be. Anime as a whole is more polarized than western media, and yes, a lot of it is fucking reactionary, but so is most western media. But there is also a lot of stuff with solid left themes (e.g. Psycho Pass). I agree however that there are a lot of really disgusting shows that have become mainstream in recent times. But is it really reflective of the whole medium that there are very shitty popular shows?

      I don't even think that anime overall is more reactionary than Hollywood.

        Yeah right, there's a lot of based Anime and it doesn't take a genius to look at all the anime that is capitalist mass produced trash dog shit.

      Uh... considering how popular anime is on like, every leftist community online I don’t know how accurate this is
