    A lot of Western anime fans coast on the fact that they don't know about Japanese cultural and political discourses to pretend that it simply doesn't exist. They convince themselves that only "woke, Western media" comments on society. The fact that these are often the loudest voices in anime communities is frustrating to no end

      You know that the distinction between real and reel life? When most sane people talk about " Woke", mainly in terms of media, they are not talking about Girl power or Sexual acceptance, but the act of looking down at the intelligence of the audience, to be overly preachy ( while not having the capability to write a compelling story), to change or weaken previously widely loved characters , just to make their self inserts appear stronger ( without any logical character based insights,as to Why?).
      You will understand when you actually try to understand why people find Woke Media to be problematic, only when you start to actually listen to the opinions of various people from different walks of life, instead of just the vocal minority.
      Don't dismiss someone's feelings,if you actually want others to accept your own.

      @@khalifazizb6121 You know exactly why people called them woke, don't pretend otherwise! They changed the vibe of the show to essentially preach about their personal ideology, while simultaneously mocking their fans ( because the fans wanted a better written story). Woke Media,in a nutshell, is being openly or overtly mocking the public, instead of acknowledgement to their personal inability to write compelling characters or stories.
      If you openly disregard other people 's criticisms,why should they respect your story.

    The Japanese perspective on gender is interesting to see in comparison to American ideals. I was recently watching Kaiba and this portrayal of intense sexuality and heterosexuality compared to the main character being stuck in a women’s body was super interesting.

      @gigachadkaiba2700 3 дні тому +1

      Bruh. I've seen fans convincing that Kaiba is so GAY for his arch nemesis Pharaoh Atem (AKA Yami Yugi), which is obviously not and there are people out there shipping him with his iconic ace monster Blue Eyes White Dragon (Blueshipping). I honestly can't believe that the creator decided to make a dragon waifu for Kaiba and I wish this wasn't real. But if I were to have an opinion on Kaiba's sexuality, I would think that he's realistically either aroace or demisexual, cause we've never seen him have any interest in anyone, especially women. And as for the main character being stuck in a woman's body situation, I think a lot of Yugioh characters, especially male characters, tend to look highly androgynous and flamboyant, which makes us question either our sexuality or gender identity. In fact, most fans would gender bend male characters to sexualise them as part of a male fantasy, but what if there was a female MC in Yugioh? Perhaps it would be a female counterpart of Yugi.

I really appreciate JoJo as a series, because it has helped me with exploring my own self expression and masculinity as a trans man.

    Queerness in media has always been there and like any other cultures, we have significantly contributed to shape arts to what they are today. Queerness is much more than just relationships, its people, its art, its social issues, it's a culture. To deny any other aspects of that and water it down to just romance is insulting, and i absolutely love that people are realising how engraved queerness is in media. Because media is made by people, diverse people of different backgrounds and experiences, yet unified by experiences and issues and feelings and expression.

      @Free_Palestine_75 That's because of the sour taste left in people's mouths from Disney and games affected by dei consultants like sweet baby. The creators of those outright mock and belittle the fanbase while destroying the fabric of the shows they love, making genuinely garbage films, admit to wanting to forcefully change the way people think, openly talking about how they use scare tactics to force companies to include dei in their media (if you want a specific example of this the CEO of sweet baby inc said it herself), and openly talk about how much they hate white males, straight people, etc. That is just scratching the surface. So, now, anytime it's present, people just assume it's another one of those - like what happened with furiousa thanks to the marketing. People assumed it was just some girl boss "I dont need no man" movie and didn't bother to watch it even though it wasn't and was actually a good movie (or so I heard. I didn't watch it simply because Im not interested in the character). This wasn't always the case.
      Anecdotal example: when the first last of us came out, I did not bat an eye when Ellie was revealed as a lesbian and I couldn't care less. When the kiss scene happened I didnt react at all but, if that were to have come out today (especially given the current state of naughty dog), I would have assumed it was just for a checkbox and likely wouldn't have even tried the dlc because I dont want to support people who again, bash their fanbase and are using an ip as an means to instill their agendas into my ahead and try to force me to share their views (and reiterating this again, people working on these movies and games openly say they do this. I am not pulling it out of my ass).
      Tl:dr far too many bad apples leave people with a negative bias and prejudice when inclusivity pops up in modern-day media.
      Edit: I ended up going on a rant and forgot what my original comment said. So, back to what the original comment was specifically saying, yeah you're right about it not being complained about to the same extent. That was the point.

    One day people will have to realize the "woke" is just social progression towards acceptance and has literally always been a thing and has literally always prevailed, the vast majority of people either simply don't care or support social change and progression and the group that opposes it is a small fringe minority, there is no "safe space from the woke" anime is not that, Warhammer is not that, video games is not that, you don't have a safe space from progression and if you do, it will not last, you can either live with it and accept people exist outside of your arbitrary limitations on what people are allowed to be, or you can shut up and sit in the back watching everybody else enjoy life like that one meme of Squidward watching Spongebob and Patrick run around

    It is worthy of noting that while the Takarazuka Revue on the surface seems like a LGBTQ+ wonder of the early 1900s, it actually is not as great as it seems. It was run by men and the actresses were expected to live a certain way and the goal was to make "good wives".

    i want people to understand that bigots have always existed and the resent trends are an inorganic push to make these themes the center of media but many of the heavily pushed champions are FAILURES in some regard. like Witch from Mercury was, even for a cynical person at least a decent anime but sol many western movies and TV shows fall on their face at first because they were just bad but now they've created the added fact of people shying away due to new sht sharing similar themes, background motives, or even just staff as previous failures. anime hasnt created this problem for itself (yet) and so even if an anime was inorganically pushing a theme most people wouldnt really notice until someone properly sussed it out and even then the product still has a decent chance of being good
