>>744845Kagami doesn't deserve to be associated with this. She would never support Takashi Tachibana or be racist against Koreans. She's a good girl.

>>744957the koreans play the role of jews in the japanese rightoid mind. they have conspiracies that the koreans control all the media in Japan and promote racial mixing, pacifism, globalism not patriotism. and they blame them for being in organised crime.
>>744962>the koreans play the role of jews in the japanese rightoid mind. they have conspiracies that the koreans control all the media in Japan and promote racial mixinglol wut? that's insane considering korea isn't even united and both koreas spend more time hating each other than on usurping japan

>>744901Well ummm….The girls frontline creator….the ummm….look man don't do this to me…
>>744937Lain talked about the internet fucking up the world in… 1998. Japan is us a decade in the future.
>>744874Japanese Conservatives: Obsessed with Korea and China. Believe in the greatness of the United States.
>>745168Lain is in the main a criticism of a very outdated conception of the internet that was prominent also in the west during the 90s, and in fact as been basically untenable for 20 years. Really, it was always nonsense, but especially for the past 20 years. If you read Rushkoff's Cyberia, which is referenced in Lain itself, you can see the subculture is entirely a product of the time and also very American.
>>745175Lain was about reality becoming the internet. It is only outdated because it has already happened by the 2010s.
>>744968>lol wut? that's insane considering korea isn't even united and both koreas spend more time hating each other than on usurping japanAnd there are only 12 million jews in the US, rightoid minds are just mentally ill
>>744962Of course organized crime has prominence from ethnic minorities. That's like making fun of a racist New Yorker for thinking Italians have influence in the mafia. Pachinko for example is basically wholly held by Koreans.
Anyway ever since the Unification Church scandal the idea of Koreans controlling Japanese politics really ramped up.
>>745177No, it's an anime against a conception of the Internet as wholly isolated from reality, which could replace reality.
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/A_Declaration_of_the_Independence_of_CyberspaceIt's an idea entirely divorced from Class struggle and the manner in which new societies must be borne out of the previous society. And by the way Lain criticizes it in a quite reactionary manner as well, basically saying that Eiri is wrong to try to challenge current capitalist society at all, the happy end is when he's back to slaving away at his 9-to-5 and his dream of such a revolutionary internet is gone.
>>745186Isn't this what basically happened, the internet once being ultra-leftist before the early 2000s turned into a right wing slop machine that just reinforces the capitalist system?
>>745187I guess, but my point is that Eiri's isn't criticized for ignoring the sociological laws of the society he lives in in favor of the Wired, he's moreso criticized for trying to upend the old society at all, since him doing that makes him want to become God. It's the typical reactionary cry of all antagonism to current society just being a ploy by wannabe Kings.
Also, Internet was never ultra-leftist. During the 90s and early 2000s the main focus by people online was on freedom of speech more than anything else. Libertarianism, and mostly the right wing kind of just wanting to get rid of states without bothering any of the underlying social relations in society. The dominant face of cyberpunk were US College students of elite Universities.
And there was never a chance at the Internet being anything more than a tool of the state and capitalism even from the start, which Lain doesn't really address. The cyberpunk dream was completely detached from the reality of the Internet, and viewed it as some newly discovered metaphysical blanket around the world rather than an invented materially-existing network, literally created by the US Army. Gibson, who wrote Neuromancer, was quite open about him not actually having a good understanding of the Internet. But Lain is interspersed with all sorts of references to their strange hypotheses, like with Lain herself being the consciousness hypothesized by Rushkoff once the number of people online is akin to the number of neurons in a brain (I might be misremembering the specifics there). So it does seem to legitimate their strange ideas, only criticizing them playing God when they should be going back to working for bossman.
