You have
>seasonal and shonen kiddies who consume exclusively slop which they treat as unironic masterpieces, have never watched anything made before 2010
>blatantly reactionary loli-avatar culture war types who see themselves as "gatekeepers" and literally only care about fanservice and mindless violence because they mean a manga is "based" and sticking it to the cucks, and hate classics like Utena or Ghibli stuff because they have too much appeal to the wrong crowd
>SJW morons who think sex is evil and make the most superficial video essay brained criticisms (did you know young superheroes are literally "child soldiers" and should be treated as such?) and will doxx you to your employer because you said you like something like Made in Abyss
Is it possible to talk about anything these days without having to either walk around eggshells to avoid offending people who will assume a million things about you based on your tastes and choice of words, or tolerate the company of literal Nazis?

>Homofashoid calling other people pedophiles

Fandom in general breeds reaction. All of us are consuming media, but when it turns into your identity, then the focus will shift frim the media itself to whatever will satisfy your consumption, which will tend to the far right on average.

retards with no compunction or critical stances to the media they consume want to project their world into the comunities and make their own little nations on them, and this world is obsessed with how you are perceived, the SJW's and reactionaries malding about woke are the same thing, people obsessed with the appearance of the comunity, if they are based or wholesome without the evil they perseive, they end up acting like colonial forces on fandoms where people just like the media they consume, and these people either convert or shut the fuck up and get harrased.
this will go on as the world gets more conected by the internet and get more miserable so people flee to escapism in subcomunities of medias.

Yeah it's called getting off twitter. The anime fandom is huge, since that's a whole medium of art. Go look at how people with personal websites or activitypub engage with anime, waaay different from what you're talking about.

Main issue is YouTube is pretty much an outpost for twitter, so you'll occasionally see youtubers that haven't left twitter reflect these same issues.

I hate anime fans so much. No fan group is worse than them. They will attack you for watching good anime.

We've got titans pouring over the border. They eat people, they're mindless monsters, but some, I assume are good people. Nobody knows where they came from. We gotta plug up wall Maria until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

We're building 3 big beautiful walls name after king Fritz's 3 beautiful daughters, who have very nice figures by the way, and Marley is going to pay for each one of them.

We're the greatest country in the history of the planet, and we're getting a terrible deal. All the other countries have been very very nasty, very very unfair, rude and disrespectful towards us, and we've been giving them everything, and getting nothing back, but that's going to change really soon, believe me.

Sleepy Zeke wants to negotiate with me. He thinks he has the cards but he has none of the cards. He has royal blood and very very useful spinal fluid, but I think we'll be using that instead of him. He thinks he's going to sterilize Eldia, well guess what? Eldia's not getting sterilized. the founder Ymir agrees with me and has given me the power of the founding Titan. Now I am a giant hideous skeleton marching across the Earth. Eldia's going to be having billions and billions of beautiful babies far into the future, and the rest of the planet? They're getting rumbling. We're doing rumbling. It's coming, folks. They're calling it rumbling, and it will Make Eldia Great Again.

Ms. Ackerman is very upset with me, but she's still kissing me on the mouth and mourning for me for a whole decade, which i think is a very good deal. Lots of very beautiful women, like Mikasa Ackerman, and Armin Arlert in that one episode where he cross dresses, are giving sweet tender kisses to my decapitated head, and having long thoughtful conversations about the wonderful time we had committing war crimes together in The Paths with founder Ymir.

Captain Levi is very upset, he got a very bad deal. Maybe he should have thought twice before rigging a guy with explosives only a few feet from him.

At the end of the day lots of people in Eldia are very very upset with MEGA and the Jaegerists, and all the winning we've been doing. They're killing Floch, they're stealing the airship, they're saying please sir, Mr. Jaeger, we're tired of winning, but you have to ask yourself: Was winning all bad? The power of the Titans is gone, and what remains of humanity is free to rebuild without the fear of their return. Except for OnyankPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Shit had an aesthetic that reminded me of bleach, and the few comics we got were shockingly more mature than what I was expecting. It’s rare to see a marvel character that is: competent in combat regardless of whether they have powers active or weapons present, have a no nonsense attitude that comes to wasting time, preaching, or holding back in a fight, and genuinely not need any transformations/plot armour/power ups because their strength is implied from the get go with the idea that they train off panel independently. It also meant that the comic writers got to write Eric as a character dealing with far more mature subjects on self acceptance, subjective cases of heroism, and loneliness that I wasn’t expecting to see from a small standalone series of comics on what amounts to a minor character reduced to cameos in various animated shows and video games. Blade reminds of me of spawn, Goku, and wolverine in that sense. Wish we got more of him.

How's the manga coming along?
Stopped two years ago when they caught some chick a year ago, and forgot to check up.

The series seems cool, it was just too slow on uploads despite feeling like a massive story that needs to be told.
Similar with Vinland Saga, but at least Vinland doesn't have a bad arc after its anime adaption.

Black Lagoon has a ton of Revy fans and fan-art. Where the fuck is the love for Balalaika? Especially here.

File: 1762264340260.png (Spoiler Image,4.69 MB, 3000x3857, roberta books.png)

Black Lagoon is fire because it has both communist anime characters (Punishable by death in japan) and also big strong muscular women who can kill me

post quotes and help me find this quote from the series, something about "learning from your enemies" supposedly a Mao or Ho Chi Minh quote from the islamist faction in the series

i remember being close to another quote about the sunken cost phallacy

What is quintessential /leftypol/core anime/manga? I DON'T mean "which anime are anti-capitalist/left-wing" like we're always talking about, but stuff that's kinda /leftypol/-coded even if it's not left-wing.
I propose
>Kaiji
<loser desperately fighting for his life against the whims of the wealthy
>Code Geass
<class traitor megalomaniac playing out his fantasies of violent revolution
>Welcome to the NHK and Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei
<NO EXPLANATION NEEDED

code gayass is really cool, madoka magica is also on my personal canon of quintessential anime, and kino no tabi but people will disagree with me over those, i think

>>27322
>Also, what is popular does not easily seperate into generational cohorts
yes it does, you can clearly distinguish demon slayer, jujutsu kaisen, and maybe my hero academia as popular with zoomers. i think pop culture is liquid and fast enough to do these sort of distinctions

>>29349
>I keep hearing Code Geass is really based
Code Geass doesn't really map easily onto any real ideology, it's mostly just aestheticized rebellion but it's still cool. Also very stupid in an endearing way, it's about a metrosexual noble who has to balance his normal school life with wanting to depose his absurdly tyrannical imperialist family.

Why were they written as generic nazi-style fascists? Kubo could’ve done literally anything with their uchiha massacre like setup.

they did get 99% genocided by the soul society, so it's kinda a soul for a soul, a world for a world type of thing. they really needed more depth tbh

>>29375
World building and character building was never bleach’s strongsuit. I’m at the last arc in the manga and nearly the whole series is just one long war story of battles between spec ops. Seriously, ichigos backstory regarding his talents is not explained until the second last arc and even then that backstory is explained indirectly in a brief dialogue scene.

I swear on my life there isn’t a single shonen author that understood what made dragon ball different. Ignoring the ki system, the show was genuinely about martial arts and still is. There wasn’t and still isn’t constant use of theatrics, most techniques shown were completely real and borrowed from karate and jest kune do, acrobatic tricks weren’t used routinely they were used when someone was getting dog walked just to demonstrate superiority, and most injuries were fucking real. Even the ki system is partially realistic given that aura creation is analogous to tummo breathing used specifically to heighten one’s internal body heat for preparation for intense activity. Even ultra instinct is a direct reference to a real concept called Mushin that functions exactly like the technique shown in the show.
Instead every shonen that came out after it is just acrobatic wizards with kickboxing skills after acrobatic wizards with kickboxing skills.

Dragon Ball, at its heart, was a sci-fantasy wuxia/xianxia series
Toriyama was a big fan of Hong Kong martial arts movies so I know what you mean. There's a lot of shit in anime/manga that looks like cartoon nonsense to us but is rooted in some deep cultural context, like people complaining about Naruto ninja not being "real" ninjas when they're pretty much how Japanese culture described ninjas for centuries

>>29299
I've genuinely heard people in the know say that the "fight world" in the 20th century was kind of like Dragon Ball and other fighting anime of the time but in real life.

>>29347
Thanks you got it

It’s just a butchered and japanwashed Journey to the West, it has the exact same powercreep as Chinese fiction

>>29367
Holy shit it’s like the show was based of a legend of a monkey with a staff. Almost like the name “son Goku” of an alien creature wielding a staff that changes shape based on his will and also transforms into a giant primate may have been influenced by something that actually exists in human mythology

is it fascist? is it ancap?

I very much enjoy this manga because I love stories that show different strenghts and talents and how they interact with eachother, bluelock does that aspect very well, on the whole 'collectivism is for weaklings' thing I don't agree very much.

reading it now, it's fun, but it really does hammer the whole collectivism = bad and loaded with obvious nationalism. theres an interview by the author that does go into his mindset as to why though

>>29359
I haven't read it yet, but I wonder if the author has ever acknowledged Max Stirner at all, it feels like he came to some basic conclusions of his convergently, but didn't go all the way with it like Max did and have it wrap around to being collectivist again, i.e. union of egoists.

The whole basis of Higurashi is that the natural laws of development (in game as Rules X, Y and Z) can all be overcome through some great Triumph of the Will. And lest we not forget that the enactors of this Will are all a community of agricultural petty-bourgoeis whose livelihoods are threatened by human development (embodied in the Dam) and are able to reject this through some collective spiritual adherence to Ooyashiro-sama and petty violence.

>>29196
Science and enlightenment values are even demonized with Takano as something foreign and crazy, instead the old spiritualism is given value, the scene with Hanyuu being able to deflect Takano's bullet is the epitome of a reactionary scene.

Every new imageboard is like that. I found one a year or two ago, immediately noticed the rightoid shit, and had to think about if it was worth posting on or not. Either the mods encourage that shit, or an IB get's overran with them anyway, since even on back on 8chan /pol/ that would have campaigns on taking over new sites.
Don't know why every site has to be 4chan these days, don't they get tired of it

Can your waifu be a Vtuber or is that haram
