I can never really care about these “issues” in anime? It’s so vast that if you don’t want to see this crap you can avoid it. Unless there is some sort of link to something like actual pedophilia, I don’t see a reason to be concerned.

Those are important themes yes, but it also ignores so much more. The world of Full-Metal is basically a bizarre version of our own during world war 2 with magic Nazi’s. Edward is part of that and is even Aryan. While the multiple fronts is not all that central; the eradication of the darker skinned Ishvalan people…

This comment section is the best.

It’s not always social justice tho. There are weebs that just can’t accept that none Japanese people can do anime. The kind of people who never ever watch a dub no matter it’s quality. 

That is far from the truth. Anime is a vastly diverse medium with things ranging from thirteen year old girls in super thongs fighting space cloths for humanity to gritty real life war dramas staring starving children after world war 2.

Not really. Japan is pretty bad about how it handles characters that are not Japanese, far worse than in America. When they do cast a white, black or what ever actor in some sort of role it is super stereotypical. Like a black guy with coolaid and chicken stereotypical.

Dragon Ball Z and Ghost in the Shell, but at the same time you can argue that the characters in those shows are not Japanese. One containing space aliens etc in a wired parallel earth with a dog as their leader and the other staring a robot with a dubious back story.

Isn’t the idea of “male gaze” heteronormative? The art may be created to be sexually appealing, but you don’t have to be a straight male to find it so.

Well he didn’t “ N word at someone, much less in anger while playing a fucking videogame of all things”. He called a nameless avatar the N-Word. 

This is bullshit at it’s finest. It can not be seen as acceptable for someone to use DMCA take downs as form of punishment for social faux pas or wrong think. What next? “You supported a candidate I don’t like! Let’s just DMCA take down that”. You may just say that example is nothing except a slippery slop. I would…

Isn’t possible that the Alt-Right and other white identarian movements are gaining power because of articles like this one? You call someone a racist garbage human and tell them that they are not allowed to defend themselves, which makes them feel attacked so they go to the people saying “You’re okay, it’s not you it…

Complains that the HS community is full of negative people procedes to talk just like the HS community. “I’ve dealt with brainless huntards and wartoids” Good one.  

So lock yourself in a room?Because everything is offensive to someone.

These pirates are obviously not using the correct crack or something, because I have a “friend” who has no issue with the mod and his game. It clearly states “ I am not pirate” when he is.

The only way you can consider Obama one our best presidents is if your only point of reference is Bush. He didn’t deliver on half of his promises and the ones he did deliver on he gutted. Like removing the single payer option from ACA in order to get Republicans to vote for the bill (they didn’t). He also had a hard…

Who is trying to derail the conversation?

a: Not all men is not a derailment when it is a response to yes all men. What you presented was a blanket statement that all men are bothered by menstruation more so than rape so I refuted it. b: You being ignorant or wrong about the original tweet doesn’t change things much. What kind of man is bothered more so by…

Where does this say anything about woman’s rights? “- Guys, hate to break it to you, supporting an entire gender on virtue of its gender is something called “SEXIST”. This would apply to supporting men for the sake of their gender as well.

When social media exploded calling him a racist, etc over a podcast so I had to watch it. It was a Sargon of Akkad video, which has a lot of guilt of association. If I remember correctly he came out as a Anti-SJW stating that he had watched Sargon for a long time. That is where I think most of the hate aimed at him…

Context matters, tho. The constant use of racial slurs does not really matter to me, unless they are used to insult or harm others.
