yamato japanese is like what if america was also great britain tho (but also the nazis lol). being at the top of that hierarchy is what makes white people white and being on the top of that hierarchy is what makes white boys white boys etc etc, IE it's not essential. Never having to truly face material reality and the consequences of it until your death is how you get amerikkka and a state that is so xenophobic that ningen = japanese = human being, and then you have words for everyone else. hierarchy and the 'other' is baked into the core of their language, which isn't unique remotely btw, but most people also don't try and gravemind themselves so hard they become worse than the fucking nazis. imagine being so hierarchal that your 'ego' has actually overtaken your 'self' and you can justify suicide bombing yourself / fighting on an island for 20 years because your dumbass god emperor who is barely speaking the same language as you said so

sorry this is a rant, but people consume anime as if it is made by 'poc' which is true, but also no not really, cus they kinda got an ethnostate going like israel and when you consume anime uncritically you need to realize that you are consuming by and large extremely far right hierarchal media that is aimed at "white" boys and their equivalents. kinda a large hurdle for most of us trans people who used anime as a way to express ourselves (due to the inherent androgyny / japan being pretty pro-mlm before western influences and still very much doing the 'amab's' can be beautiful pretty cute thing), because the western male possibilities before it became popular were like lumberjack and businesssuitman and guy who commits suicide
