Why is anime popular in the west now

What happened in 2011?

I mean who isn't tired of calarts garbage?

the Jap companies started to create local offices in foreign countries insteald of selling the right for peanuts to incompetent American companies that didn't know how to sell and market that shit (and didn't really try since they got it for cheap)

E-celebs being "ironic weebs" and streaming.

>but they hate japan
Yeah, and? Hating a country and hating the things from that country are separate.

>E-celebs being "ironic weebs"

It's becoming more easily available to normalfags en masse, and at the same time the quality of Western forms of entertainment sharply declining in quality to the point where poorly translated squigglestick cartoons from inbred island insects is more appealing than them

Everyone I know from China is a weeb. China is culturally much more similar to Japan than they'd like to admit.

There wasn't much that appealed to western audiences. Anime was at peak moe-shit and most westerners aren't into pedo bait. In 2013-2014 a few series came out that were really popular outside Japan like Shitgeki no Kyojin and Boku no Pico Academia. I'm not sure if they were created to pander to western audiences or if it just happened unintentionally but it led to normies getting back into anime.

Boku no Pico Academia isn't pedo bait. It's nip pandering to western comic book fans.

>what happened to the west and why is only japan safe from it
I'd give you the answer but go ahead and look up who runs the majority of the western entertainment industries and realize those people aren't in Japan.

Technically Latin America is a part of the west, they just arent first world.

>South America, Middle East and Indonesia
what the fuck are you talking about
they don't watch anime
anime are banned in those countries

The upper and middle management of the huge media firms (who all live in one place) have all gone off the deep end of americocentric hypercalvanist politics. Since they're leading everyone else, the whole industry fleet is crashing into the corals bankruptcy.

Nips are spared this because they don't seem to have the same crisis of faith and cultural hangups that has lead many Americans to buy into Self-hating Protestantism: Secular edition.

They liked it as kids
Couldn't afford it as teens/twenties

The films, mostly. The large releases establish new market segments. Nobody gave a shit about anime outside of Japan until Akira. Princess Mononoke was huge. You have big releases of good films that generate interest. That's why we tolerate 90% of the tv shit still, we're looking for that one good show again. The dub of Cowboy Bebop, that feeling the first time you see it. I'm never getting it back.

Do people forget about it every few years and only the new animes are seen as such?

To me it seems like they watch even more than north america and europe, at least the middle east dubbed a shitload of anime. I'm still really glad spacetoon survived the entire syria fuckup.
Also the crown prince of saudi arabia seems to be a one piece fag.

The war was 70 years ago and ended with us nuking them twice. The US and Japan were exchanging culture for 90 years before the war and we picked right back up afterwards. It's the nips that hold more of a grudge to the point of keeping most American ships out of KanColle, but that's understandable since they lost.

Isolation and nationalism?

Japan is a great country with low inmigration and promotion of procreation instead of inmigration.

Overseas means China and Korea.

Where dose this come from? Seems fake as fuck.

romanticization of incel ideals through anime

They want to reboot animaniacs, I'm curios if they remember what made it such a major hit and try to continue from there or just go "let's make profit until they realize it's shit".

google source from OP's picture

Because its a borderline ethnostate with conservative values. Not sure how they rationalize that with the degeneracy that goes on in otaku culture though.
You joke, but pretending to be mad about it for laughs is something I have seen.

This is the end of anime as we know it.
Those nips will bend to Netflix's political correctness.

But still, in 2018 Russia got limited screeening of das finale and you can buy bds. So it shouldn't be white regardless.

Meanwhile, we have Miru Thighs.

Pretentious

It hits everyone, just not all parts of it.
Most entertainment in all parts of the world is shit since shit often is enough to make profit with minimum effort. To make quality you'll have to loose a bit of that potential profit by putting in more effort than needed. You can still find quality but it can't compete with advertising so it's sometimes hidden. Like you'll barely ever find good movies outside of arthouse cinemas anymore.

You could say the market is to blame since if people suck up all shit as long as it's just somewhat worse than the last thing they consumed they'll continuously drag the quality towards the very bottom. A few decades of this and people would need a few years to get used to good stuff again so no company that prioritized maximum profit will ever try it again.
Makes more money to reach the masses that think your product is mediocre than to reach a handfull that absolutely love your product.

Enjoy your last non CG anime, bros.

France is the 2nd manga market in the world

Because it's the superior media

I always felt like France was more interested in manga. But I have to admit I can't really differentiate between spain, mexico and other countries that speak something that sounds like spanish.

This line of thinking doesn't conform to reality. Animation was absolute dogshit in the 1970s and most of the 1980s. Eventually the economy turned over towards a positive growth trend after years of stagflation in the US and animators started putting out very good work again, they started pushing boundaries again. Was every episode and movie flawless? Not at all, but the standards rose dramatically and deadlines will always exist. Even the story telling went through a sea change and the almost nonsensical lunatic plots showcased by the Hannah Barbara shows went away as well. The graph op showed is a good indicator that economy is the primary driver for standards as well. Extant projects prior to 2007 got wrapped up and new ones were shelved in favor of absolute dogshit tier moe stuff because it was cheap. Once the economy started recovering around 2011-2012 the ambitious projects started appearing in the development pipeline again. There is a year or two lag time from the economy going to shit and recovery before animation picks up standards.

oh that little
anime is still niche after all

thats why animators are payed like shit

Spoiler alert: that's a good proxy signal for ethnic Chinese fraction of the population.

More likely the other way around given western animation's PC could be why people are watching anime instead of western animation.

Google it. I'm not talking about computers.

Overseas = China.

It's literally not. Per capita it is by far the anglosphere and south korea. The anglosphere have been more and more interested in it since DBZ, pokemon, digimon and sailor moon. It then gained more interest with social media.
We used to trade DBZ tazos at school in Australia. Everyone knew anime existed.

political correctness?

People forget that a whole generation was growing up with media that was full of unforced diversity way above todays 'propaganda' in quality and quantity.
youtube.com/watch?v=7g8nDfUqSLg

none of that overseas money goes back to japan though
they license the anime for a small flat price and keep all the profits

They have their own variation of literally the same thing. Japs, chinks and gooks all draw the same way.

How is this a bad thing?
It's because Americans are sick of SJW horse shit and have gone seeking entertainment that has not been tainted by literal psychos.

Yes, Japan is very safe and the quality of anime increased drastically over those 5 years, no terrible CGI shitfests and lousy chicken scratches from philippine sweatshops all over the place, no no.
Now go back.

who cares about anglofag, anime is mainstream only in China, Korea and Europe

Progressives Catering.
Aka making shows that appeal to a handful of people who belong to one or more minorities, instead of creating stuff with a semblance of aesthetic merit that would be liked by everyone but a bunch of very noisy tumblr types.
Basically caring more about twitter backlash than art.

thank you

Capitalism happened. Companies don't want quality they want money and Japan isn't safe. Post-2000 anime is mostly unwatchable shit and most of the new japanese games are gacha

I literally just said that it's more popular in the anglosphere than China and Europe. The english sub and dub versions of shows are more numerous than other language versions.

and? you think 12 peoples watching a show make huge money? no its merchandise like figurines, manga and Bluray, things that only asian and french buy, they have since the 80s

Euros can speak English too, user.

Based China is saving anime. Without their influence, anime would be full of feminist thots, to please the western hipsters.

S;G didn't do it intentionally. Not originally anyway. Nowadays? For sure. In 2009 and 2011? Not at all.

Western cartoons have ugly art, bad animation, unimaginative settings and are either cliche superhero garbage, kid garbage or are family guy rip offs.

Anime is genuinely nicer to look at and has more interesting and original storylines. Western cartoons like a mcdonalds. Anime is like a fine steak.

It's not really "popular" Anime stills remains a very niche thing. It's not that big in Japan anyway

>incel
Have kids, roastie.

>It's not that big in Japan anyway
Anime for teens/adults is pretty niche yes.
But shit for children like Detective Conan is fucking huge in japan.
The week that Avengeres premiered Japan was the only country in the world were it wasn't the top grossing movie, because Conan also premiered at the same time.

How do we make it less popular?

because western media is hijacked by political activists so people seek alternatives

Few shows being popular with kids means nothing. Come back when anime (as we know it) is an acceptable thing to watch.

another nuke

Yeah but the sales aren't from there.

I often wonder if anime streaming is some kind of money laundering operation. They stream virtually everything, yet almost none of it is watched by any substantial number of people, and it doesn't seem like there should be enough profit. Very few people have even a basic comprehension of what is airing during any given moment, or what has aired recently. Basically, nobody is watching but somehow the money is rolling in.

Why are so many people so desperate to downplay the popularity of anime in Japan?

/thread.
The amount of CIA niggers in the media in the west is disgusting. It's been an issue since at least the 60's.

>is an acceptable thing to watch.
It already is if you're a kid in Japan, are you retarded?

These graphs only tell you that niggers like crunchyroll and funimation mass grab anime rights to stream, what about disc sales?

Not true.

It's always been mainstream in the West. China and Korea are the top ones keeping it afloat.

When there's an original market, there's a way. And Japan is farnmore likely to bend to China than Netflix.

I can't believe Gundam is this low.

>crisis of faith and cultural hangups that has lead many Americans to buy into Self-hating Protestantism: Secular edition.
Pretty much this. Modern progressivism is just secular puritanism

But I don't have a TV set.

When commiefornia dangerhairs are bullying Japanese developers and censoring their games it's obvious that the whole company has been lost. Sony is a national embarassment.

Sony isn't doing this because of outside factors making it a necessary, they're doing this because they got infiltrated and taken over.

Its not really that media has declined in the west. That is just your hatred of modern culture giving you a bias.
If anything the media coming out now is better than it ever has been - the average level of quality for something like a television drama is higher than ever before.

What really happened is that anime got fantastic advertising in the West as something amazing but 'underground'. People would talk about Trigun, NGE, Bebop, as the better-than-anything-western shows that no one would ever see. They'd brag that Vampire Hunter D is the most beautiful piece of animation ever, or that Ghost in the Shell and Paprika were the inspirations for some of the best Western Movies. Its excellent for hype. Even the weirdness was exaggerated so that people would think that 'those Japanese are crazy' and grow even more interested.

Then Cartoon Network started showing anime in semi-normal timeslots which got kids to think that it is a normal thing to watch (I grew up in the ghetto and kids there fucking loved Naruto for example). This introduced even more kids to anime and Japanese products.

Then Crunchyroll, Netfilx, and Hulu came out and started showing anime and the people that spent their lives hearing about how great anime was started to watch it more and more. Combine this with the rise of 'Nerd Culture' and it was a great set-up for anime to boom in the West.
Yea Forums are a bunch of fucking idiots

and thats a good thing

>These graphs only tell you that niggers like crunchyroll and funimation mass grab anime rights to stream, what about disc sales?
Disc sales are dead or dying.

That's social pressure of being overworked salaryman with family that expects you to be "adult" aka no fun allowed.
It is popular, it's just being frowned upon by the uptight-keep-up-the-appearances nip society.

Clearly not enough.

Because the general public gets worked to death? What time would they have to watch anime?

Plus you can think of general public consisting of boomers due to shrinking population. These old geezers are no fun.

The only reason they make anime is because some read manga.

It's much smaller than I thought. I guess anime has huge potential, but Japanese production companies suck at pitching overseas.
Since a lot of gaijin still have only a limited way to watch some anime simultaneously, many have no choice but to pirate. Besides, they have difficulty buying anime goods even if they wanna buy them.
Japan has strongly to build a market for their pop culture If they really wanna make big profits from overseas.

What about original anime and anime based on light novels, visual novels, video games and mobile games?

They do it because they want americlap bucks, you delusional schizo.

>now

You're obviously one of them and trying to gaslight people into thinking that nothing is wrong. Fuck off.

Alright, LN included. But anime based on video games and mobile games wouldn't exist if manga and LN weren't around.

Your voice of reason is going to be drowned in the contrarian muh SJWs muh joos shitposting from all the crossboarders.

You ever think that maybe its popular because people are fucking sick and tired of hollywood, shitty made for tv movies, shitty netflix specials and mainstream media?

Isnt that the fucking obvious answer?

Well anime started in the 60s and there wasn't anything except manga. But even they made original anime and adapted regular novels.

What part of that is bad?

Chinks and ironic weeaboos

Anime is actually very very popular in the middle east.
Almost everybody there atleast watched or heard of Naruto, Dragon ball or one piece.
Bleach isn't that well known there for people who aren't invisted in the medium.

SJWs are real and have been actively ruining Western entertainment.

Yes, fight the mighty jidf, you proud stormfaggot. Go back where you came from, Yea Forumsermin, this is anime board.

It's not an issue of money at hand but one of expected growth. Low budget shows will be more or less poorly animated and high budget shows for people that are expected to pay a lot will look nice but this doesn't say anything about their quality. Only if the studios try their best to get the show to be bought by as many people as possible instead of handing the thing to someone who just wants to create a certain story for the sake of creating it it'll become soup of teasing and mass appeal. It has to be shit for writers too, Kubric decided against money and for freedom of creating what he wanted. But even if most people think they're total garbage trainwreck of shows it's still better than only ever the same 5-7/10s.
That said the mass entertaimen things still aren't horrible, they're just seen as negative because it's so much into our faces, like that whole bland mc isekai avalanche. The weird character kino still exists as much as ever and isn't harmed by economic hard times more than entertainment kino.
None of these categories will die.

>Disc sales are dead or dying.
It's still a better measurement of impact in the populace. Counting only licenses is meaningless because countries with shitloads of censorship like china acquire fewer trademarks than Ameirca, but still bring in shitloads more of fans, and their money for trademarked figurines or even digital shit, like those chinks eating retarded amounts of chicken just to get gacha characters in final fantasy.

None of the censorship Sony's new American middle management force upon shit is about the money at all. The management have carte blanche to enact whatever the fuck they want because their higher ups has imposed no standards on them aside from a deadline.

autists have great taste and are always years ahead of mainstream society when it comes to trends like this

Kill yourself

No, I am not going to kill myself just because anime makes you seethe.

Anime's been popular for decades but easy access to streaming obviously made stuff more available to a lot more people. Outside of pirating in the past you'd only be able to watch shit on TV or buy the DVD/VHS releases. Now you can stream stuff on CR, Netflix, Amazon, etc. And a lot of series are simulcast these days too so you don't have to wait for them to be localized.

I'd imagine that it means absolutely nothing coherent and is the made up term of some pseudo-intellectual moron.
Calvinism is a conservative sect of Christianity anyhow so it doesn't fit the context.

Typical fucking leftist shilling. Fuck off.

The way people consume media has changed. It's gone from having to watch single episodes at a time on TV to being able to stream an entire season's worth of content in a single night. This change devalues the episodic content that rehashes similar plots and jokes and increases the desirability of strong linked narratives. Western media relied on the former because they're easy to produce, can be watched in any order, and you can make as much of it as you want right up to the point that the show is cancelled for low ratings. Anime tends to be more story driven and with the rising popularity of streaming media, a viewer can watch it quickly from beginning to end.

>Western Animation is still designed to appeal to grade schoolers and only them
>still
Weren't a lot of older cartoons more designed to appeal to whole families, teenagers and young adults? Mostly in a comedy way but still.

Leftist shilling would be showing titties of everyone for everyone in a somewhat equal quantity, not showing too much tiddy is just conservative family friendly shilling.

Yeah, people forget that the Flintstones aired in primetime and actually got some flak for being too adult for primetime at times.

>that smug duck
Based Wakfu.

I am talking about the modern left, not some past version of it.

But anime is much gayer than 'Western media' (whatever that means).
Troll elsewhere.

Yes, but it's been a while since that was the case. Even shows that did have some cross-generational appeal were either shitcanned or devolved into the same hogwash made to appeal to 10 year old kids.

The very early ones like the Flintstones sure. But that was only because there weren't many channels in general and not many televisions in the houses so you had to go for as wide a range as was possible to get your views. As for the early Disney Productions, those were mainly for intros and intermissions at movie theaters.

But pretty soon that went away and instead you got Hanna Barbara schlock and the actually well made if not vapid Disney cartoons. The Simpsons and Family Guy are the exception rather than the rule.
The biggest cartoons in the West like Spongebob, Steven Universe, Adventure Time, and the like, don't have as much appeal to adults as a decent Shonen does. They might be well made shows, but they are almost entirely directed at a young audience. The closest to appealing to a wide range is SU, but it doesn't really achieve it.

This is the most zoomer argument ever. Calm down, censorship in games has being going on since their inception.

All of you love Pixar and yet some of you shit on some out-of-touch notion of 'American cartoon'.

Featuring gays =/= encouraging them like the western media does.
Most fags get pissy at anime "comedic" and stereotypical take on homosexuality an other minorities "issues."

>The biggest cartoons in the West
Shreck, Frozen and Minions.

I'm older than you, and SJW censorship hasn't happened since the inception of video games since SJWs haven't existed anywhere near that long.

there are tons of yuri and yaoi fujo bait in anime. the japanese just arent as dramatic about "muh brainwashing" like the average american is.

>Most fags

I separate animated films from cartoon series as they are treated very differently in the West.

But as far as I know also at western forced 'inclusion' that ends up making them exotic and neurotic. The best way is to just feature one and don't make it a plotpoint, but that way it'll hardly show and you won't be able to advertise your show as inclusive that much.

Do you never stop lying? We all know you feminist leftist love to censor pretty, scantily clad girls. It objectifies them, according to you loons.

Because of gateway anime like DBZ, Naruto, Death Note, and Haruhi.

Also because of shit like reddit. Reddit is literally forums, but for normies. Normies have more gateways into getting into anime.

One of the things I've noticed a lot is that nowadays the current wave of people watching anime has a lot of gays.
Which I normally wouldn't care anout in the past but they're all yaoi/yuri shitters.
And on top of that we've seen a lot of localization studios become increasingly sjw.

Honestly a lot of these people don't even care or have respecr for the medium.
They only know about it via memes and because it was some "niche" thing they could say they're into for snowflake points.

The same thing that happened to video games 10 years ago happening to anime right now.
Plus the olympics which is gonna put a huge magnifying glass on japan.
So we're probably gonna be in a dark age for the next decade.

Just not purposely pretty anymore. That's how people look. In case of cartoons I guess noodle art is just easy to draw and the current trend like animes weird 90s art.

>there's propaganda everywhere
It just looks that way because they are trying to push it instead of treating it as normal like a lot of media used to do a decade or two ago.

Why does this matter? Their characters are still ugly and unappealing.

Not in the west, those overseas sales are 90% Asia sales, mostly Chinese.

They very much are treated differently, there is no backpedaling either. Cartoons and animated movies are entirely different worlds in the West, whereas in Japan that is not true.

In the West animated movies are seen as something for all ages, and they are normally standalone properties.
Cartoons are the total opposite in that they are seen as something for children and mostly are made as tie-ins to larger projects. You'll get a Frozen cartoon in connection to Frozen the movie, never the other way around.
Mech sales are important, but the main way of making money is thru tickets and allowing other companies to advertise with your product. Merch is secondary in the West where its number 1 in Japan.

If we start talking about Western Animated movies, which are created in a different context to more standard western animation and Japanese anime, than we have to consider the idea that Western Animation is often better than anything that Japan is putting out as far as quality of the visuals and the voice acting. I don't think there is an anime that reaches the level of animation or voice acting that a even decent budget Disney or Dreamworks project does - but that is also because western animation grabs actors from other media whereas anime is built out of its own actors, and the amount of money that goes into one of these projects would bankrupt any Japanese studio. Then there is that Western animation has mad a transition to 3-d where that hasn'y happened yet in Japan (although pre-3-d Western Movies are often more visually developed than there Japanese counterparts).

You can't compare them to each other because the context is so different, and that is my point. Cartoons and Anime are made similarly to each other. Anime and Animated movies are not.

What, so why would lesbians have to suffer the same and hetero girls have to pass on watching sexy, lewd scenes of handsome guys?
Unneeded sexualizing is only troublesome if it only ever works one way and ignores a big part of the population, otherwise all that are into it have fun with it, even lefties.

It's about equality, not religious morals.
Add a pure mood for people that don't want to watch those scenes at all and the problem is solved.

>we have to consider the idea that Western Animation is often better than anything that Japan is putting out as far as quality of the visuals and the voice acting
This isn't true. American movies had more fluid animation which does not mean better animation, and 3D movies have better technology which does not mean better visuals.

>that is also because western animation grabs actors from other media whereas anime is built out of its own actors
It's very common for anime movies to have movie/television actors instead of seiyuu.

>why are these big corporations trying to appease SJWs when it's not earning them money?
What you have to understand is that business owners regardless of how small or big they are, they don't make decisions that will maximise their profits to as high as possible. For example a small company owner might hire a close relative instead of a more competent worker because in his life while he tries to earn a profit, he has other preferences as well such as having good relationships with his relatives. In the same way the upper management of big corporations doesn't always try to maximise their profits as they have other goals such as the push of progressive politics.

When academia has been filled with leftist professors for so many decades it's no wonder that the majority of college graduates have progressive leanings. Some of these graduates then end up having high paying jobs in the media, the academia, the public sector, in big corporations like in Silicon Valley while a select few enter politics. As a result of all that the next generation ends up more radical than the previous. The biggest lie the left keeps parroting is that they're against the establishment. The truth is they are the establishment and the mainstream "right wing" parties are an illusion to make it seem like there is some opposition to this madness.

tl;dr corporations make decisions that seem to be against their best interest because they are filled with woke liberals

Are you retarded? The entire ideology /pol/ supports is based on censorship and limitation of ideals. More so, they are quite happy to support conservative ideals of conservative governments like Russia, which are infamous bastion of censorship. When something they deem "degeneracy" gets censored they happily cheer and when something they don't like (like gays, blacks, race mixed couple) they bitch all the time, so much for "creator's freedom".

The "creator's freedom" is usually some sort of quota that has to be met in terms of how many minorities are in the piece of media.

Then make you own porn, you obnoxious liar. Don't censor people that are having fun, due to your own bitterness and resentment.

It's cute that you think anime is insulated from American politics.

There’ll always be a market for the moe stuff Japan churns out. The worst localizations right now are coming from Sony. And magnifying glass aside, it’ll just temporarily hide away the lewd stuff for the time being- not much different from Nagano.

Pretty isn't equal to attractive and a lot of character and charm can get lost if you value good looks too much despite it not being needed for the plot or atmosphere. The actors should be choosen because of acting, not if people can fap to them. Except for porn of course.

I don't think anyone here is actively attacking the production of the movie on a technical level. The professionalism and techniques have always been progressing over time. What people are attacking is the casting, writers and directors. Actual dialogue has been removed for quips, character development is compacted into 30 second bites and the casting is pandering. Just look at something like Ghostbusters or Perfect Blue. Dana and Mima have extended scenes where they just fuck around in their house living life, this helps the audience connect with the character. Modern writing and directors would eschew these critical scenes to reduce the length of the film. Why would anyone give a flying fuck about Sarah Conner if you removed the scenes of her interactions at work, at home with her room mate and goofing off with them? You just get an extended series of chase sequences with a random person. The gun battles and shot compositions are great now, the story telling is shit.

The scope of the latter is so much greater than the former. Grabbing a Japanese actor and an American actor are totally different things.

The Guinness World Records book says that the most expensive anime film cost $20million USD to make, that is less than 1/10 of the budget for the most expensive Western Film.
Because of this disparity, like I said you cannot compare to two just due to the difference in scale and how they are treated. Disney/Dreamworks films can be blockbusters, can you ever say the same about an anime film?

Cartoons vs anime is a better comparison. Even if it is stacked in anime's favor.

On another note, have you had any trouble with captcha lately? Its been a pain in the ass lately for me.

those for sure are pedo era

It probably counts merchandise sales otherwise there would be no other explanation on why Hello Kitty is so high up
Mickey has a trillion times more merchandise sales worldwide than spongebob can ever hope for

That's your big censoring?

If everyone that is not you is an SJW, then no one is an SJW.
If the entire West is in a conspiracy, that no longer makes it a conspiracy, only culture.

>im an SJW now
No and you should be ashamed that you jumped to such an asanine conclusion, it just so happens that a person can reasonably hate retards on either side because i dont give a fuck about your dumb political shit and whenever i do feel like giving a fuck i take it to the appropriate places instead of shitting up an anime board

anime was always good...until this came out

It's not a good measurement. I could make fluid animation right now. Anyone could. All it takes is time, and it doesn't mean the animation is any good.

>Anime movies can be higher budget and grab actual actors/actresses
Japan isn't Hollywood. They don't cost that much.

>Because of this disparity, like I said you cannot compare to two just due to the difference in scale and how they are treated.
You can, and if you do so honestly you will come to the conclusion that Japan is #1 in the world when it comes to making animation.

>Disney/Dreamworks films can be blockbusters, can you ever say the same about an anime film?
Anime movies are regularly the top movies of the year in Japan.

The least we could do is acknowledge the elephant in the room that is the terrible quality of current western entertainment.
Like we don't even need to pretend it's subjective, the timeline of these 2013+ absolute massive increases in people watching anime is more or less even MORE proof that this hyper PC culture is making everyone insane and people desperately need an escape from it.

This, the thread has been completely derailed into talking about SJWs and shit but they dont have much, if any, power in the anime industry. China is a much bigger problem if you a truly concerned about censorship in anime

The one were the MC killed hundreds of Chinks before getting isekaied. I don't remember the name. The main issue was supposedly that he made some tweets racist against Chinks more than the work itself.
Who the fuck cares about the author though, the creation should be totally divorced from the creator.

Of course, 'appealing to children' really means appealing to the parents that pay for those shows/games. Kids don't care, they slightly annoyed at worst and one of their first boners and fetishes at best.

>blaming the SJW boogeyman

Fucking burgers.

You know these threads would go better if people stopped denying realities, a perfect example is currently happening in this thread.
1. SJW's are real, there is no argument otherwise to this point. To pretend otherwise is the argument of a fool or something darker. They act on impulse and are never actually for progressing anything outside of some shitty "gotcha" for a perceived grievance.
2. It is okay for progressive values to exist in forms of media, it will help all of us understand each other in ways never before possible.

Now how do we combine 1 and 2 without the current dogma and rabid fighting, I have no actual idea.

You're wrong, retard. Democrats in the 90s were the ones wanting censorship, and they've always been the ones who wanted censorship, and when things were being voted on, it was a bipartisan effort. Stop spreading misinformation. This lie is just like the myth that the KKK was full of Republicans. That group, too, were fucking Democrats.

That aside, your example is still poor since Jack Thompson didn't even have a close political affiliation.

Explicitly political threads can still be Yea Forums related which is why I brought up the Tokyo Incest Manga Law. Someone having a big bad icky opinion you don't like? That's something you put your big boy pants on and you ignore.
Screeching for threads to be deleted because they're political and not anime is a false dichotomy. Grow up.

Let me show you an example of how easy it is to predict that this is some western "inspired" garbage in a single post.
1. They're probably gay
2. There are probably multiple overweight and homosexual characters, absolutely zero straight relationships and if they are it'll be broken ones.
3. Antagonists will all be shown as "white"
4. There will be multiple scenes showing some condescending "learning" experience without a hint of subtly.

Like christ, why is it I can tell all this by just LOOKING AT A POSTER, so much for subverting expectations and surprising an audience by not being the most predictable bullshit you've ever seen. We attack harem trash for this all the time, fag noise doesn't get a pass because
