the most barebones autopilot "duuuude anime fuuuuuucked me up" stuff someone who is some flavor of trans & who likes loli but feels bad about it would make lol I'm so disappointed. nothing to analyze here besides what was already there in colin's tweets you can tell the animated part was the actual earnest "I'm passionate about what I'm making" segment and the rest was pure performativity that doesn't even say anything specific beyond "I know this stuff is bad & weird guys don't worry" it's not observant or analytical at all

I suspect the reason Spongebob goes for such consistently over the top acting now is because it's cheaply outsourced. Koreans are paid to just chain together storyboard drawings & the main staff have little control over motion. only way to make it dynamic. here's a "subtle, not too zany" scene fron Shin-chan. save the video & go frame-by-frame if you gotta:

look at the number of specific frames used to define the motion. a cheap animator not in direct contact w the director wouldn't be able to pull this off sakugabooru.com/post/show/2617…

people who think "bad western influence" means "minorities being there" exist & suck, but this is just as disingenuous & essentially damage control "ACTUALLY he meant games from well over a decade ago, not modern stuff the culture war forces me to defend!" you can say "antisjws attack it less cuz it sold well" and there is some truth to that with some people, cuz bias exists in droves; but also, objectively? no Veilguard's RIGHT THERE & shows that yes not all left/progressive-leaning writing is created equal

a certain e-celeb I won't name (who I'm pretty sure used to be a gamergate guy lol) is ranting on stream about how nazi gamers are making up censorship & just want tits in everything or w/e while this is going on lol Image worst stance to take when it's obvious everyone, left or right, is getting really puritanical & whiny now. the "gross coomers" who said anita was stupid & are now telling tradcaths to shut the fuck up are closest thing to a "pure" side here

vg cats guy finally lost his mind completely cosmicvibe.vgcats.com don't wanna be dismissive. it is funny he's having timecube-tier conversations with AI to figure out the secrets of the universe but he lost his wife & kid, went bankrupt, had to draw porn commissions of his characters to stay afloat which he clearly didn't enjoy and got suicidal

pretty sure this Moon Channel video was based on a paper by Eiji Otsuka & hooooly fuck does Japanese academia rape the brain of even an old manga industry veteran into a blubbering pandery mass

THE FASCIST ORIGINS OF OTAKU CULTURE - as bad as it sounds! mediafire.com/file/f6md6xgau…Image first there's the most eye-catching part of the title, the "fascism" bit. it's west-pandering sensationalized clickbait through and through. the "fascist origin" is just Tezuka being inspired by Momotaro's Sacred Sailors when he was 15. THAT'S IT. THAT'S FUCKING IT. Image

i think what the people mad at me who think I'm a hypocrite aren't getting is that you can think it's funny if something bad happens to someone you dislike even if you don't think they should be censored for it if someone who rants about how homosexuality is evil got fired from a job unrelated to that, it's not something I can ideologically support & I would oppose it on principle but I can still think it's funny on a personal level

weird response to this post given all I did was a twitter dunk and not something that could actually, in any conceivable way, contribute to her getting run off the internet Image
Image "it would be funny if a bad thing happened to someone I don't like"
"YOU ARE LITERALLY DOING CENSORSHIP"

I'd LIKE to think it's cuz no matter how hard they try to "improve" the movies & "give the fans what they want", they're still the same people who decided to start off by making "Hop but with ugly Sonic", but Japan eats so much mainstream US slop I dunno maybe it's just that Sonic's not very popular there. yeah SA2 has a fanbase, enough of one that it got a pretty good place in a Famitsu reader poll some years ago, but I doubt it's a huge one

on one hand meatcanyon using "manga" IS very disingenuous & lame. on the other hand many ppl screaming fake weeb at him (not kenny) prolly haven't read a hideshi hino manga in their lives & "anime" to them is just smug reaction images of the seasonal waifu Image I'm centrist over this cuz yeah I have given meatcanyon shit in the past, his loli video was dumb, but while he's not super into manga/anime he's got very specific interesting & personal taste. his baki video is straight up good. he'd probably like fuan no tane if he knew abt it

the clownish contrast of super dark skin & very pink lips was the only really overtly "blackface-like" element. yea I don't think "you HAVE to give black characters prominent lips" is true either, there's variety in all ethnicities; but c'mon, many have em Image
Image I DO get why people still take issue with the "sausage lips" given certain background characters had outright ooga booga designs & the two feel connected. in garterbelt's case though it just feels like an obvious cartoony stylization of "guy with prominent lips and a beard" Image

reminds me of old-ass 4chan arguments where people were trying to "own fedora atheists" by saying "lol, you're still mad you had to go to sunday school as a kid. arrested development much?" yeah forcing shit on kids is bad that's the point I liked animals as a kid as much as I do now so the stuff I learned about em of my own accord stuck. learning for tests meanwhile was a robotic process "ok I'm gonna memorize this in order to pass then never think about it ever again" since school was so miserable

if gamers weren't stupid they'd be excited to get into cool game libraries that got overshadowed in the past, but instead we have a gaming culture that went #FUCKKKKONAMI!!!!!!! over the Turbografx/PC Engine Mini cuz "no one cares about this stupid system" most aren't like Mike Matei who got into PC Engine & decided it's one of his favorite consoles in his late 30s/40s because he truly enjoys old games & wants to find more fun ones. it's about nostalgia and/or "retro chic" over games & systems already part of the anglophone "canon"

chibi was probably only exposed to a VERY limited section of KLK's fanbase; from my perspective this feels like total revisionism. seeing this scene as fanservicey (it is) already made you a rape enabler, it was seen as a feminist statement on rape culture I was on Tumblr when it aired. you had some "this is hot" comments for maybe a day, then the ass-covering narrative was formed & stuck. I remember even an "antisjw" account went go HOW FUCKING DARE YOU MAKE LIGHT OF THIS SERIOUS DEPICTION OF RAPE when I pointed out the obvious

never forget how embarrassing the sonic 4 marketing campaign was imagine if in the middle of making Kimetsu no Yaiba Koyoharu Gotouge was shown the most brainless "shounenshit is SHIT" criticisms from 4chan, Twitter & Youtube by localizers then immediately went "oh god they're so right! I need to change EVERYTHING I do!" that's how bad this is Image

the premise of this reading isn't even wrong fundamentally but you just know this person thinks anno is against people finding asuka hot framing it this way as a twitter feminism thing with terms like objectification & keeping it very one-sided doesn't help

the "centrist" approach to Goku's character that says "sure he wasn't Superman, but Toriyama went too far & made him too selfish, which clashes with his earlier characterization" still sounds like wanting Goku to be a traditional hero & grasping at straws "why did Goku kill Staff Officer Black cuz he was a bad guy but let the ginyu force get away" cuz while yea he largely has a flat character arc he can still change over time in smaller ways. sure Toriyama didn't have the Saiyan shit in mind in the Red Ribbon arc but people change Image

more I look into the company behind "clock striker" it just looks like the most stereotypical tumblr org & about as badly run as you'd expect. even the jp account that promoted it went "want a second-" later

no one brought up Peepo Choo. not marketed on being "by a black guy" so Image
Image it is technically well drawn but it def feels driven by "what if we made a shonen manga BUT with a black girl" as its main artistic goal, essentially "X but diverse", while sanding off the "problematic" aspects of the cultures it's trying to represent... cuz that's what it is Image
