It's hard to explain if you're not terminally online enough but basically futanari fandoms have been steadily hijacked by chinlets seething over artists drawing chicks with dicks but no puss and calling it futa. These chinlets have politicized the word futa, to make it basically mean "biological woman with penis". Except not. If you draw a female figure with a penis and no vulva, explain that this is a cis woman who transformed her female genitals into male ones, it's "not futa". Hermaphrodite? No, they don't actually care about that either, a minority of them pretending to be woke will pay lip service to "reverse futa" existing and that's that. What is the meaning then?

In OPPOSITION to anything even vaguely or ambiguously transgender.

You see now that this is connected to a larger current of rightoidism. The current that seethes over anime & video game characters being transgender, non-binary, queer, etc.

The futa politicization would perhaps be a trivial footnote in the greater culture war, if it didn't reach Japan, the source of futanari pornography.

HISTORICAL REVISIONISM is taking place.

In 2022 (translated in 2023) a so-called "futanari bible" was released by an artist named yana of the doujin circle nekoarashi. "Futanari? What's that?" attempts to analyze and define futanari pornography while providing exactly zero sources; we are just expected to roll with the bullshit of the author (a common feature of rightoid drivel!). The book asserts that futanari must possess both sets of genitals to be futa, that "obviously" everyone knows this is true. You can tell this author was influenced by Westerners by his usage of the word "dickgirl", a word with absolutely zero presence in Japanese-language hentai slang, a word literally invented on 4chan's /d/ board (/d/ickgirl was once the "ethnonym" for denizens of the /d/ board). And speaking of 4chan, said word when it was invented had no particular meaning than "chicks with dicks". Doubling the revisionism, he claims "dickgirl" means "chicks with dicks but no puss". Zero sources of course. He conveniently fails to mention the multitudes of proofs, both within Japanese futanari fandoms and outside of them, of the futanari culture never literally being about "hermaphrodites", for example the futanari convention Futaket for years accepting artists that draw characters with only one set of genitals and JAVsPost too long.

>yghur you live in a basement most likely and have enough time to debate other losers myself included on an anime image board. Your ass is not going to lead or participate in any revolution.
Nope, just because you want me to be your boogieman self-projection doesn't make it any more real. I post sporadically, I'm not here for most of the day and for most of the week. It's an anonymous board, not everyone replying to your idiocy is the same person. And I never claimed to be 'leading a revolution', I'm active and try to do my part within the limitations I have, that does not include mindlessly supporting 'the current thing'.
>It is. That is what the definition is.
No, it isn't. MARX's definition of Class (which is what is being referred to) is that class is the position determined by economic factors independent of personal identity, thus Class Struggle is primarily between the proletarian working class and the bourgeois ruling class. Marx's point about women is that identity only differentiates the symptoms of oppression of the class system, and explains that the socio-economic pressures on proletarian men pushes them to replicate this on a domestic basis. The changes and developments to Capitalism since have changed this dynamic.
>The Nazi myth started by Kruschev and the USSR?
The Nazis were claiming the Stalin, Beria etc. were all rapists and womanizers since the 1930s. Khruschev simply used that accusation as part of the bullshit trial. As a source for my claim: On Stalin's Team: The Years of Living Dangerously in Soviet Politics, by Sheila Fitzpatrick, Chapter 9.
>The thing he got tried for
He wasn't on trial for rape, nor was that his conviction, it was simply another accusation brought up; he was tried for "treason" because Khruschev was getting rid of political opponents in his rush to remove all influence of Stalin. The 'rape' allegation was based entirely on 'testimony' by 'body guards' and it's well kPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>24223
>Who are a minority.
Where's your proof? I posted several trans people, and you've only got yourself to CLAIM. You're dismissing the opinions of other trans people (let alone contesting them) and claiming they're a minority while providing no evidence to that end.
>Most of the trans community loves those like Bridget and Lily.
Conflating Lily and Bridget is /pol/shit. I've explained why.
>You also linked reddit too You are cis and trying to use those that agree with your worldview
<um uh, they don't count because, uhhh REDDIT! Yeah! And you don't count because I'm assuming your identity and rather than address your argument, I'm gonna make an Argument by Authority Fallacy
So you're dismissing a person's opinion because they posted it to reddit? Despite them being trans and not the only one in that thread either? Reminds me of /pol/fags and their automatic dismissal of anything posted on tumblr as "SJW". You have no argument to what the post says, so you're attacking the source. As I said, being trans matters only to you in so far that you can use it to prop up your argument, otherwise it suddenly doesn't matter. If your experiences matter then so do those of the trans people that argue the opposite of you.
>Even in the thing you linked it misgenders transwomen in the PDF
The fuck it does. It's a translation from Japanese, and by default trumps your Westernoid understanding of Japanese culture and wording: https://note.com/wakari_te/n/n3522e245a9a1
And if it had been written by a trans person you would find some other way to dismiss it because their opinion doesn't fit your narrative.
>Hibari-kun
Yes, because as the pdf states, that's what they were seen and called, because it was long before trans-sexuality was commonly known in the public sphere as opposed to cross-dressing, that is history, and to claim otherwise is revisionist and wrong, any more than a prohibition of the word "slave" as a term to describe enslaved African-Americans. You're cherrypicking so as to not address the actual point.

>You said why do you need rep and can't you just connect with a good character argument
1) You're still strawmanning, because I didn't say that
2) You've shifted the goalposts, slapping on the last past about connecting to good characters
TL;DR: “Don’t write a gay character, write a character who happens to be gay.”
But since YOU brought up connecting to good characters; That is separate from representation, just because a character represents an identity doesn't make for a good characterization or story, because CHARACTER is not the same as IDENTITY. A Good Characterization means the identity they may represent is also good representation, and not capitalist tokenism. Your argument that we should just accept poor representation is basically admitting that you're happy capitalists toss you trash to consume because this trash happens to have a trans flagged slapped onto it. Go buy an anarchist shirt from Amazon for 150$ while you're at it.
And again you repeatedly ignore the fact that erasing the representation of a character and replacing them with another for no good reason, is bad. If someone made Blade a white guy, they'd be criticized for erasure of Black characters, rightly so. Since you pointedly ignore my point on Tokenism, let me remind you what it is: "Tokenism is the practice of making only a perfunctory or symbolic effort to be inclusive to members of minority groups"

>Its not transphobic.
Yes it is.
>he creator of GG himself has said that Bridget is meant to be trans.
Yeah, like Rowling said that Dumbledore was supposed to be Gay and there were totally trans students but they weren't shown! Oh wait, everyone laughed at her for retroactively changing her story like that. It's called Death of Author. If the creator of GG legitimately meant the character to be trans then that makes him a fucking transphobe you dipshit, because the narrative is literally that of a boy getting gaslit into becoming a girl… which is LITERALLY (with Post too long.

>Humanity has been driving away the Demon Lord's army for a long time by summoning "Heroes" once every 100 years. But one day, the Demon Lord's army devises a countermeasure to the Heroes: entrap and kill them when they're in a defenseless state straight after the summoning. To commemorate this historic fear, the Great Demon Lord designated that year as "Year One of Entrapment Killing." The Heroes have all been slaughtered by the Demon Lord's forces ever since. Fast forward to today, Year 1000 of Entrapment Killing: the summoners are very worried. "What kind of Hero should we call? I don't know… Someone take this out of our hands!" And thus, they summoned Hiroyuki, creator of 2channel and the master at settling debates.
That's right Japan is still in the "owned with facts and logic" phase of online discourse.

you can recognize the good direction on some episodes, and the complex character, even forgive shit like the bad animation and slide show episodes. But also have to recognize that nobody that is actually sane can get through 10 episodes that are basically 70% repeated footage with only 30 % that is different, holy shit the early episodes all have the same beats, the elevator sequence, the fight, the different speaches. That only ever starts to get better like halfway through. I know we were all amazed by the moving colors in the 90s, but this is simply unforgivable today

>>18118
Not the first time I've read something like that. Other scholars pointed out that a law passed in the 80s to help women stay in the workforce brought a new type of magical girl: the kind that fights evil with her powers, so sailor moon.

Those are part of Ikuhara's style. All his anime have such things, it's part of his charm as a director.

>>18238
That's bullshit, why isn't that a problem in the second half, or in mawaru penguin drum? Besides that what kinda directorial choice is it to have entire episodes of footage loops, like episode 7 I think it contained like 2 minutes of original animation, 1 at the beginning and one at the end and the rest was recycled animation loops, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, maybe It was like 4 min, but you seriously think this is a valid direction choice, what is it trying to say? Commenting on the futility of watching anime? Lmao

Why is the school setting liked so much in anime? It cannot just be that the target audience is mostly children, because there are a lot of anime of this sort oriented to older otaku also. Do anime ever make more than passing attempts at portraying so called "adulthood" as a future to be excited about?

Its not like you have a choice. Adults make you take it seriously. Yet, when you graduate, they just shrug you off. All that acdemic bulkshit you go through and they say "meh you dont know shit" even though they crininalize kids for skipping school.

I really think adults underestimate the treachery of school largely because theyve been away from it for so long.
Thats the beauty of childhood nostalgia and marketing.

It could be a cultural difference
From what i can tell japanese schools are usually better than ones overseas
In america unless you went to a good school you're lucky to get one that has clubs and shit to hang out in

What i find funny about the school setting is that a lot of these anime don't even take place in the school itself
It's just there to remind you that these characters are in fact teenagers that go to school, but then they just stop having them attend school at some point

>>15622
>explanations for this quasi-Orientalism
It's probably largely due to this sentiment.

The factors that seem to contribute would be:
1. The alternative modernity that Japan represents to the people from more Western parts of the West, as opposed to the still quite culturally hegemonic— in the imperial core that the Western nations comprise— American ilk of modernity, has offered some sort of avenue of escapism that is exotic, convenient, and amassed as @Orikron aforementioned has said basically, yet not actually Other to the empire, as
Eurasian civilizations Russia, China,‌‌‌‌‍‌⁣‌⁢⁣⁢⁣‌‍‌‬⁣‍‬‌‍‬‬‬‬‌‬‌‌‌‌‍‬‬‌‌‌‌‍‬‌‌‌‌‌‍‬‬‌‌‌‌‍‬⁣‌‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‌‍‬‌‌‌‌‌‍‬‬‌‌‌‌‍‍‌‌‌‌‍‬‍‌‌‌‌‍⁢⁢‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‍⁣‌‌‌‌‬‌‍‌‌‌‌⁢‍‬‌‍⁢‬‬‌‌‌‌‌‬⁢‌‌‌‌⁢‍‍‌‍⁢‬‬‌‌‌‌‌‍⁢‍‌‌‌‌‬‌‌‌‌⁢‌⁢‌‍⁢‬‬‌‌‌‌‌‬⁣‍‌‌‌‌⁢‌‬‌‌‌‌‬⁣⁣‌‍⁢‬‬‌‌‌‌‌⁢‬‍‌‌‌‌‬⁣‍‌‌‌‌⁢‬‍‌‍⁢‬‬‌‌‌‌‌‬‌‌‌‌‌⁢‌⁢‌‌‌‌⁢‍‌‌‍⁢‬‬‌‌‌‌‌‍⁢ ‌‌‌‌⁢‍⁢‌‌‌‌⁢‍‌‌‌‌‌‬⁣‍‌‌‌‌⁢‍‍‌‌‌‌‬⁢‌‌‌‌‬⁣‍‌‍‌‬‍‍‬and Iran are; so as to go and step outside of the hegemony's boundaries.

2. To paraphrase someone, stagnation fuels novelty, and the popular culture industry and the subcultural niches in Japan, as other researchers have noted, have enormously flourished, while the Japanese society itself has suffered the malaises of the bust— this phenomenon is probably noticeable incidentally in the content of some anime; furthermore, Japan was also one of the first countries to venture into that postmodernity, into the sort of societal impasse that now afflicts numerous nations elsewhere in the West, too, with the failure of the old narratives and similar (go check out Utena also), and plus further Japan was one of the first countries in Asia to modernize, so the Orientalistic stereotypes about the aesthetic of Asian modernity and the alterity of it took heavy influence likely from their course, the early impressions and later fetishization of Shibuya to raise one example.

3. The sovereignty of Japan is also as vassal state quite subjugated to the American empire, and many people in the imperial core likely consider the place to be their wacky, "thing, Japan" being sort of the demonstration of this mentality, tourist spot, and the Japanese govt. encourages this sort of almost self exoticization, because of geopolitical cuckoldry or glowie shit.

I wish there was more of it honestly. All we get is cheesy J-pop and other extremely light music other than an occasional EDM track or two, so boring. It doesn't make me truly excited, a good metal track makes me more interested in the anime itself.

Post some good metal anime tracks btw.

Forgot to mention that there seems to be more metal tracks now than we had before, and now we have a metal anime too. I wonder if this is a trend.
