My first guess is it could be an allegory for rich white wannabe saviours, which is why I'm baffled people went straight to accusations of racism. Like what if...the manga is mocking/criticising rich white people? Lol. Why did nobody draw that as a potential parallel before jumping to the worst possible interpretation? 🤦🏻 Yeah, it could turn out really bad, but we just don't know that yet.
I mean I'm an og warhammer fan, calling this racist is a joke. Nothing wrong with these sorts of stories. Even if the story portrays them as heros and great people. What matters most is how entertaining the story is.
@darrenisfat3388 If I remembered correctly, there was a drama about Space Marine II on Twitter. But it's something that you least expect. It was the scene where they burned the tyrannids with flamethrower. They were offended because it looks like 'The Holocaust' for some reason. Out of all the things they could be offended in the WH40K universe, they were offended about burning a hive minded aliens using flamethrower. At this point, I really don't know where they draw the line😴😴
It’s a good showing of flawed bad characters. And Yeah that’s what im saying like a contrast of character growth sounds really cool and powerful story to tell. Like it’s clear they’re suppose to be seen as bad.
@TheSupaman98 How are they the good guys when the aliens obviously are shown to be working in the same conditions without any AC or hell anything at all? Sure the alien guy seems to be an asshole, but that doesn't mean you should be fucking racist towards an entire group.
@@tayojones9460that’s the issue here, the manga is clearly portraying being xenophobic and racist is a cool thing. It just feel like an outlet for the author to vent because his girl got stolen by a Korean immigrant tbh
I mean what is she doing wrong? If she's purging the enemies of the Imperium and wiping the Xenos scum from the Emperor's galaxy she's deserving of being within the ranks of the sisters of battle.
Probably the best breakdown I’ve seen because we don’t know where it’s going. Defending it or attacking it blindly is ridiculous but I’ve seen a lot of that for this series. Personally I think it has potential in the future, in the present I think it’s stupid but intriguing and might attract the wrong people for the wrong reasons.
Yeah but I think the implications here is the aliens are an allegory for racism, now wether or not that’s the case idk, haven’t read it and it’s also 1 chapter lol. But lets not be daft here, allegory exists in writing.
I’ve found more people upset over she hates them without a cause. We will probably get a reasoning for it later on cause hate doesn’t just appear out of thin air, but it’s strange how we got the deuteragonist’s moral compass before the main character’s
you cant please westerners they will find something offensive about everything . this manga is about resisting against opression . the woke wet dream . yet the woke audience still find ways to be mad . they cant enjoy life . i hope this wont affect the manga . these people ruin entertainment for everybody . unlike them , the rest of the world would still like to enjoy life.
@@milays08 "Without a cause"? Her boss is a jerk, the aliens she's met are apparently jerks, and they showed up out of nowhere barely a decade ago and hyper-entrenched themselves into human society because they just happened to save them from an interstellar cataclysm.

as a student studying anthropology, aliens taking over society and completely being the masters of everything sounds familiar. that said this story is about as subtle as yelling "bomb" in an airport and it needs time to cook.
I read the whole chapter and didn't feel find anything offensive until I read the comments. I agree that the main character is not likeable so far. But this felt more of an anti-colonialism than racism to me.
as a black guy who has dealt with a lot of racism in american for some reason im drawn to support this series in hopes that it does have an interesting turn of events. I wish this had multiple volumes out already bc i would prefer to read it
I'm still gonna read every new chapter of this manga, there is literally only one chapter and people are going batshit crazy over it. But idc since drama queen seems like it has potenial to be peak

Maybe I'll come back to it when there are more chapters and everyone cools off.
@@rylandsmathieux8076 OR it could just be about aliens invading planet earth. this whole controversy is stupid as fuck, it's like saying Season 1 Eren is a racist because he hates all titans and wants them dead.
Angry twitter idiots because humans eating aliens? How naive, some people already saw that before for example in that episode of PowerPuff Girls were kids defeating aliens by eating them.
He pretty explicitly said "they will turn the story around or make the mc eat shit otherwise this is trash" He said the same thing as twitter hes just being coy about it
Not at all the sentiment I was trying to convey. I think the story can go many ways, I just pointed out one of the ways it could go about it. I also mentioned that condemning the series regardless with 1 chapter out is absurd. Nice tech X pfp tho
@@TheMaskedMan The allegory in this manga is that the author subtly (or sometimes obviously) portrays the "aliens" as representing "illegal" immigrants and refugees, while the Earthlings represent paranoid white people who fear being "replaced" or "discriminated" by these "aliens" or people who are open to welcoming them. This is clearly anti-immigrant, xenophobic, and Islamophobic rhetoric.
The lack of subtlety literally did not work. People still confused colonizers with immigrants. It’s like calling the Haitian revolutionaries racist because they fought back against their French slave owners.
To be fair here, racist is actually the apt term if we want to be accurate. It’s human society that has mismanaged the use of the word racist, because even with different bodily traits we are all the same human race - speciesist is more so toward animals rather than say sentient species.
I disagree with 1 thing. At 3:53, you say that aliens are presented as "neutral." But from what we see in 1st chapter, we can see 2 things 1. People revere aliens and go out of their way to put them above other humans (ignoring car accident, firing of MC, "aliens Park free" sign, woman apologising instead) 2. Aliens clearly disregard people (at least the ones not close to them), not apologising, ignoring language barriers, hiting and bumping into them. Let's make 1 thing clear because it's the internet: I'm talking about THE MANGA. I'm not drawing parallels to real racism and I'm not excusing real racism (unless we're talking about gyp.. NO! BAD EUROPEAN!)
Yeah, when I first heard about it I thought there was more than just one example of a bad guy alien being the abusive boss. But I'm starting to believe it might either be an amazing satire or is just an edge fest... but I think people shouting on twitter about how it's "mein kamf part two" is way too fucken much
I remember the first time hearing about it on twt😭 fully expected it to be full on kkk n bombs but when i heard about the summary of it, honestly didn’t sound THAT bad
Wild that people will judge the merit of an entire story based solely off of the first fucking chapter. Remember what we all thought Kagurabachi was gonna be like when Chapter 1 dropped? Let the mangaka cook.
I have no clue where this "racist" tag came from. It's anti colonialism. Clear as day, too. Still, I really want to see where the story goes, especially with the braids chick character as she grows or just goes insane.
Because the aliens are portrayed more as immigrants to earth in general And that whole bit about what the deuteragonist said sounded more like copium rather than it actually being " a non-hostile takeover " So it's easy to see why anyone would think that the two characters are rascist, especially when they say that they don't view the above mentioned immigrants as " human " Really, this manga needs more chapters before anything concrete can be said
@@badpiggy4177 I think that's more of your opinion on what the deuteragonist is saying than definitely "copium." The whole idea of the aliens and how they came to earth is presented as a pseudo conspiracy or fantastical mystery element. One that can either make what they say real, go to NHK route of, or have a third thing. Also, to your other comments, the main character is/can be relatable to a down on the luck person and in that way, people can empathize on how life just kinds suck for her. I'd hardly call her an incel, and this anime! (manga) where everyone is practically a murderous cannibal. The point is she sticks out as a kind or morally gray bad person and that inherent intrigue is something to draw people in. And though people probably won't feel the exact same way she does (or at least I hope they don't) they might feel that there's some injustice in the world to relate to or empathize with her, especially because she's said to only be seventeen. In my opinion, it's not really an uphill battle for the story/characters because in one chapter they managed to hit exactly what they were going for, that being a black comedy with opening and questionable themes you're not sure on. A sweeney Todd type story. Though it's understandable to say that the story does read with anti-immigrant themes it's hard to say if that will be completely emigrated with the entire work, as again, it's only one chapter. But to that point, to completely deny the anti-colonist, possibly anti-American influence on Japan after WW2 themes is just ignorant. Maybe the author didn't hit on hard enough. Maybe because of the western or Japanese-viewpoint colored might color it a certain way. But it's clearly there! The aliens might be portrayed as immigrants to earth, but they are also portrayed as being in charge of everything, given the best jobs, being the as higher ups, as the saviors of human society and life. The traditional way of life has changed with advancing technology. The story speaks of their position being similar to British occupation in India or America's influence of Japan. Again, others might view as rightwing talking points on immigrants taking their jobs or other anti-immigrant sentiments and it could be that, but it just feels like a japanese author talking about japanese history with a twist. But we'll just have to see.
@@badpiggy4177to be perfectly honest I don’t really buy the immigration thing right now on the first chapter due to the main dudes backstory. If the legal system IS rigged for the aliens then it is definitely an anti-colonialism message, because through history a regime that favors a certain group of people and marginalize the rest at their leisure is a pretty present method through colonial history (from ancient to neo colonialism). I feel like if it was an anti immigration story it would be more on the face in terms of how it affects society; instead of having an alien boss the main girl would have alien co-workers harassing her and “taking jobs”, instead of having a court system that favors them the aliens would tear down at the cultural values of x and y and replace them with alien values, that sort of thing that anti immigration media tends to spiel. Though again, I’m talking about the 1st chapter, we really have no idea where the story will go and we gotta wait and see
In the real world, if random ass aliens came to Earth and just started living among us there would definitely be people that'd hate them and that's without question. Tobirama is a way bigger racist than she is but that dude is a lot of people's favourite character in Naruto.
You know how in Japan you could leave your bikes unlocked for days and it would still be there when you came back? You know why there are now signs all around areas of concentrated illegal immigrants saying to lock your bikes up?
@@ssesssusman9417 "alert to and concerned about social injustice and discrimination:" Literally what is wrong with that? It just means be aware of racism that's literally the plot of the manga
I don't know why people are throwing such a fit,this is such an excellent way of talking about xenophobia and racism .....it could really talk about the root of all such issues. Making the protagonist the one doing stuff like this is such a cliche breaking way to tell such a story to
most controversy about media with 'problematic' elements in them, are usually just netizens interacting with something they dont like, then getting upset about it demanding it be banned when you (those people) couldve avoided it all together, but that's just my opinion though.
This manga probably the purest form of free speach Because it talked about a topic that most people find it "problematic" I love it it is refreshing to see a mc who's bad
That'll probably be weird if he tries projecting his "blackness" onto these aliens then anti-woke Whites will feel targeted as if he's calling them out for something which will lead to random shots at immigrants or something
Tbh, thanks for not doing a "THIS [Blank] TRIGGERED the WOKE MOB" type video (can't say the same about the comments cause i've seen some stupid shit posted here). Still, i don't care about the manga, not bc i'm "triggered" or some shit. I just don't find it appealing personally. Still i understand why some ppl can find this racist, i may not share that feeling but i understand it. Also, same on the routes that it could take. Idk, it can be like it's always sunny where both the audience and the writers know that the characters are fucking horrible people, or it could go all out on the edge and racism (which wouldn't surprise me knowing japan and that your whitest "japanese" soldier on ohio would eat that shit) But yeah, my final veredict: It doesn't matter uncle ben, We love katamari solos.
@@Mysteryflare that whole woke it anti-woke thing is going on in the West and it seems to me that People in West just love to bring in just their topics and stuff into things in manga especially for this one. Why the freak do people think that the aliens are supposed to represent immigrants this manga has one chapter in many people are talking about it how problematic it is when it's just a manga. The "culture war" is in places such as gaming and movies this however comes from a complaint with a bunch of people that think that the story is one thing when we have no idea what the story is in general because only one chapter came out.
I heard about this a month ago, I just saw it as a really interesting take on the usual "Earth after being taken over by aliens" setting. Nothing more, nothing less.
Good vid. I generally think it's pretty dumb for people to either go out of their way to defend or rage against the manga right now. There is just not enough information to know how they're going to handle the themes. It could be horrendous, or it could be fine, and anyone acting hollier-than-thou calling people out for "hating the manga" or "enjoying the manga" are equally braindead.
People say they want realistic characters, but they actually don't. Every real person has flaws, eveybody is biased and holds some sort of prejudice (some more justified than others), so you can't make a realistic character without flaws. And you dont have to hate a character because they are flawed either.
The author has the opportunity to make the characters do a face heel turn, or make them villain protagonists like Light Yagami. Either way, I'd imagine there is a chapter where we get to understand what the aliens are saying and whether or not they truly saved the planet is an interesting plot point
Feel like its trying to be satire without understand WHY people hold the view its attempting to mock. Might be wrong but either way its yet another non-trovercy.
I can't help but compare this manga to Dead Dead Demon's DEDEDEDE Destruction. I know it's unfair because Drama Queen only has one chapter but it still feels like these two works are opposites of each other in every way.

My first guess is it could be an allegory for rich white wannabe saviours, which is why I'm baffled people went straight to accusations of racism.
Like what if...the manga is mocking/criticising rich white people? Lol. Why did nobody draw that as a potential parallel before jumping to the worst possible interpretation? 🤦🏻

@darrenisfat3388 If I remembered correctly, there was a drama about Space Marine II on Twitter. But it's something that you least expect. It was the scene where they burned the tyrannids with flamethrower. They were offended because it looks like 'The Holocaust' for some reason. Out of all the things they could be offended in the WH40K universe, they were offended about burning a hive minded aliens using flamethrower. At this point, I really don't know where they draw the line😴😴
It’s a good showing of flawed bad characters. And Yeah that’s what im saying like a contrast of character growth sounds really cool and powerful story to tell. Like it’s clear they’re suppose to be seen as bad.
Ughhh, no. Cleary they are supposed to be seen as good. That’s what great about this series. It’s showing the actual good guys as the good guys.

I read the whole chapter and didn't feel find anything offensive until I read the comments. I agree that the main character is not likeable so far. But this felt more of an anti-colonialism than racism to me.

The Phantom Seer cancellation still hurts me so much, I loved the art and setting for it
One of the best concepts for a story without a doubt
The lack of subtlety literally did not work. People still confused colonizers with immigrants. It’s like calling the Haitian revolutionaries racist because they fought back against their French slave owners.
"ghostwritten by scramboli reviews as an allegory of how he feels about puerto ricans" somehow seems to fit as an apt description of scramboli reviews
People need to stop saying its racist. The aliens aren't the same species as humans, literally. So it would be speciesist, not racist.
To be fair here, racist is actually the apt term if we want to be accurate. It’s human society that has mismanaged the use of the word racist, because even with different bodily traits we are all the same human race - speciesist is more so toward animals rather than say sentient species.

I disagree with 1 thing. At 3:53, you say that aliens are presented as "neutral." But from what we see in 1st chapter, we can see 2 things
1. People revere aliens and go out of their way to put them above other humans (ignoring car accident, firing of MC, "aliens Park free" sign, woman apologising instead)
2. Aliens clearly disregard people (at least the ones not close to them), not apologising, ignoring language barriers, hiting and bumping into them.
Let's make 1 thing clear because it's the internet: I'm talking about THE MANGA. I'm not drawing parallels to real racism and I'm not excusing real racism (unless we're talking about gyp.. NO! BAD EUROPEAN!)

I wish there was more racism in anime and manga. It makes them hilarious
Racism should Normalized
I remember the first time hearing about it on twt😭 fully expected it to be full on kkk n bombs but when i heard about the summary of it, honestly didn’t sound THAT bad
Wild that people will judge the merit of an entire story based solely off of the first fucking chapter.
Remember what we all thought Kagurabachi was gonna be like when Chapter 1 dropped? Let the mangaka cook.
I have no clue where this "racist" tag came from. It's anti colonialism. Clear as day, too.
Still, I really want to see where the story goes, especially with the braids chick character as she grows or just goes insane.
Because the aliens are portrayed more as immigrants to earth in general
And that whole bit about what the deuteragonist said sounded more like copium rather than it actually being " a non-hostile takeover "
So it's easy to see why anyone would think that the two characters are rascist, especially when they say that they don't view the above mentioned immigrants as " human "
Really, this manga needs more chapters before anything concrete can be said
@@badpiggy4177 I think that's more of your opinion on what the deuteragonist is saying than definitely "copium." The whole idea of the aliens and how they came to earth is presented as a pseudo conspiracy or fantastical mystery element. One that can either make what they say real, go to NHK route of, or have a third thing.
Also, to your other comments, the main character is/can be relatable to a down on the luck person and in that way, people can empathize on how life just kinds suck for her. I'd hardly call her an incel, and this anime! (manga) where everyone is practically a murderous cannibal. The point is she sticks out as a kind or morally gray bad person and that inherent intrigue is something to draw people in. And though people probably won't feel the exact same way she does (or at least I hope they don't) they might feel that there's some injustice in the world to relate to or empathize with her, especially because she's said to only be seventeen.
In my opinion, it's not really an uphill battle for the story/characters because in one chapter they managed to hit exactly what they were going for, that being a black comedy with opening and questionable themes you're not sure on. A sweeney Todd type story.
Though it's understandable to say that the story does read with anti-immigrant themes it's hard to say if that will be completely emigrated with the entire work, as again, it's only one chapter. But to that point, to completely deny the anti-colonist, possibly anti-American influence on Japan after WW2 themes is just ignorant. Maybe the author didn't hit on hard enough. Maybe because of the western or Japanese-viewpoint colored might color it a certain way. But it's clearly there!
The aliens might be portrayed as immigrants to earth, but they are also portrayed as being in charge of everything, given the best jobs, being the as higher ups, as the saviors of human society and life. The traditional way of life has changed with advancing technology. The story speaks of their position being similar to British occupation in India or America's influence of Japan. Again, others might view as rightwing talking points on immigrants taking their jobs or other anti-immigrant sentiments and it could be that, but it just feels like a japanese author talking about japanese history with a twist. But we'll just have to see.
@@badpiggy4177to be perfectly honest I don’t really buy the immigration thing right now on the first chapter due to the main dudes backstory.
If the legal system IS rigged for the aliens then it is definitely an anti-colonialism message, because through history a regime that favors a certain group of people and marginalize the rest at their leisure is a pretty present method through colonial history (from ancient to neo colonialism).
I feel like if it was an anti immigration story it would be more on the face in terms of how it affects society; instead of having an alien boss the main girl would have alien co-workers harassing her and “taking jobs”, instead of having a court system that favors them the aliens would tear down at the cultural values of x and y and replace them with alien values, that sort of thing that anti immigration media tends to spiel.
Though again, I’m talking about the 1st chapter, we really have no idea where the story will go and we gotta wait and see
First Scamboli and now you with the little roasts. I can’t wait to see how this escalates 😂
In the real world, if random ass aliens came to Earth and just started living among us there would definitely be people that'd hate them and that's without question. Tobirama is a way bigger racist than she is but that dude is a lot of people's favourite character in Naruto.
I'll probably be one of those

Good vid. I generally think it's pretty dumb for people to either go out of their way to defend or rage against the manga right now. There is just not enough information to know how they're going to handle the themes. It could be horrendous, or it could be fine, and anyone acting hollier-than-thou calling people out for "hating the manga" or "enjoying the manga" are equally braindead.
People say they want realistic characters, but they actually don't. Every real person has flaws, eveybody is biased and holds some sort of prejudice (some more justified than others), so you can't make a realistic character without flaws. And you dont have to hate a character because they are flawed either.
The author has the opportunity to make the characters do a face heel turn, or make them villain protagonists like Light Yagami. Either way, I'd imagine there is a chapter where we get to understand what the aliens are saying and whether or not they truly saved the planet is an interesting plot point
Feel like its trying to be satire without understand WHY people hold the view its attempting to mock. Might be wrong but either way its yet another non-trovercy.
