I hate the yaoi trope that’s like “father figure turned into romantic partner” ucky
Real shit esp when they raised them like their own and the next thing you know theyre marrying and everyone clapping
It's giving incest
I don't rlly care if the age gap isn't too big but I've seen so many where they raise the kid since they were a baby and I hate it.
Hhhhh
White washing in anime is bad sure, but can we remind ourselves of the immigration rate in Japan? It’s low, like really low.
Can we also remind ourselves that they have their own beauty standards that don’t involve a lot of different features and races because their immigration rate is so low.
It’s a whole different ball game if the production of the manga or anime is staged in the u.s, a different country (like banana fish) people should do their research. It’s also another thing if the production is a internationally involved creation, like “Carole and Tuesday” but most manga isn’t that way.
I’m not saying it’s good, but there is a reason, and calling people racist isn’t why there’s a lack of representation.. thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
you do understand that the low immigration rate is due to the deep rooted xenophobia and racism in japan? yea villainizing the country isn't good bc every country has its own problems but people should still criticize it. that's how change happens. even in countries like usa that have better representation (kinda), it didn't happen out of the blue. calling that stuff out is the first step.
Can we also remind ourselves this isn't fucking twitter

See but that’s so hypocritical, because there are countries like South Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia, and China, that have things like religious persecution, slavery, and female genocide, but I don’t see us fucking making a stink about that. Criticize them, make a change there, Japan does have heave roots in xenophobia but at least their crime rate is relatively low, and they aren’t actively killing foreigners. I truly don’t understand. Why is it we care about things that aren’t actively harming people, meanwhile in women in Pakistan are experiencing “honor killings” and if you don’t know what that is look it up.
bc ppl read mangas so they mention the whitewashing?? like the fact that other countries are shittier, doesn't make japan an utopia. like yea usa might be the most progessive for let's say queer peeps but there is still discrimination so people still protest. and yea whitewashing is harmless compared to genocide but it's still a problem. what's with the whataboutism?? you seem like one of the guys who say "but what about xyz", when any wonen's issue is brought up. like yea that's a problem but so is this. and dw i know what honor killings are, considering my cousin was honor killed for being gay (thankfully im abroad now)
i already post my reply and can't edit it but sorry but the random trauma dump at the end. i just got kinda pissed seeing that brought up randomly
Idk if the art style changes, but rn I like that she isn’t a literal hourglass, no waist just chest and hips yknow? She’s not chubby or anything but she feels a bit more grounded than other characters, at least in chap 30
