Keep Political Correctness Away From Anime!

I’ve always found animi/manga a more mature form of entertainment than Western comics. Even the Pokemon manga has its more mature moments especially in the older comics. Not sure about the new ones as I’ve only read the first three volumes. Even Studio Ghibli films have their mature moments despite being supposedly all ages friendly. Look at ‘Princess Mononokey’ as a really good example. I’m also watching the ‘Cowboy Bebop’ animi atm and it’s a nice change for me to be watching something much more mature with animi for a change.

If these people don’t like it, don’t watch it. Simples! I’m glad that Japan are sticking up for their works and giving Twitter the bird lol.

Manga, anime, jRPGs already have inclusion, of sexual minorities at least. Japan’s not a particularly multiracial society so the lack of explicit racial diversity is somewhat to be expected.

However, their ‘representation’ happens to be both more relevant to the genre they write in, more sympathetic, better written, and more humane. They write people, not cardboard cutout political statements.

Pretty much every significant fictional character that in any way improved my view of sexual minorities was created by the Japanese, and they did it via humanization and tonal consistency, not glorification or flanderization.

Political Correctness is America’s newest form of Intolerance. And it’s especially pernicious because it comes disguised as Tolerance.” -George Carlin.
