what is it about monster-based kids' anime in particular that makes everyone on the english-language internet (and even shit like translated pixiv tags) embrace the american localization names for everyone and everything

pokemon? ok, it's nintendo. but why yugioh and digimon

I kinda doubt the US military made the most empathetic possible decision to ensure the best, most moral outcome in an age where nazi soldiers in propaganda posters were drawn as just "bad people" & nonwhite enemy ethnicities were drawn as fucked up animals
the allies did mass rapes in germany and germans were still viewed as brainwashed human beings

"no, these people HATE the west and want america DESTROYED!" I don't see that. would people here say "American cartoons only exist to whitewash the US government's crimes abroad" like they do with anime? no because they view individual Americans as people & Japan as monolithic Image

I was gonna say his "OC" always looked like a fake cartoon some kid watches in a tv show but he's drawing fat furries now so I went with that
your decade old furry waifu looks like she's gonna pie me in the face, hit me with a mallet then turn to the screen and inform the audience of how wacky and/or zany she is

almost like wrpgs are for disgusting subhumans and normal people play kingdom hearts
If you want a picture of WRPGs, imagine these guys in thigh highs jacking each other off to the bear sex scene in Baldur's Gate 3— forever.

ryumako would be fine if it didn't become the safe pairing for fans who want to make moral drawings of an immoral show. that's why people jump through hoops to claim it's canon despite nakashima saying there is no canon romance and he left it up to fans
"well the kiss drawing" yeah the point of the "Mako's vision" scenes is they're exaggerated and the actual "date" ended up being "3 girls shopping". yeah the show implies Mako is attracted to Ryuko but immediately after the "date" they showed Gamagoori waiting to ask Mako out.
does Sukuyo eyeing Aikuro's dick mean they got together and the show is canon NTR? no it's 1. a visual gag 2. meant to inspire fan art and fanfiction because it's a shipbait show AS NAKASHIMA BASICALLY CONFIRMED WHEN HE SAID "IT'S UP TO THE FANS" https://t.co/Yb2jiwxb1wnharime.tumblr.com/post/909234534…
