While that excerpt about horror movies and whatnot is incredibly goofy (still curious where & when it comes from btw), it feels more like a generic & generalized "smh decadent western influence" rant than something that would've resulted in directly targeting local artists for having "decadent content" in their work (especially given their connections with many "decadent" artists). The more hardline radfem stuff meanwhile seems pretty recent.
>>29631>>29632The thing is, this is /anime/ and plenty of anime/manga creators historically have in fact been quite repentant. It's easier to go "lol I hope this alien, hivemind culture gets owned" if it's not your country, but in the end it's no different from saying "I hope everyone in the US gets fucked over. Horrible country!" as if anti-imperialists don't exist in America.
