Just imagine if the dead young man had a gun and defended himself? it will be a maga extremist killed a man. they will be shouting Nazi and Racist trump supporter

Kaycee7:
Somebody has to succeed Lebron. Man's definitely got his priorities right

IMAliyu2:
Well yeah I'll have to concede here.

He had the right spirit, but wrong mindset and methods.
Wanting to end racial oppression is an objectively good thing, but dictatorship and genocide are objectively the wrong ways to go about it.

The Wakandans were complicit, in their willfull ignorance to the rest of the world. When they had the ability to help, and power to end conflicts and exploitation in their universe's version of Africa, or share their medical, or other humanitarian advances with their world at no cost to themselves, but no they rather just hide.

It took killmonger for them to realize they were wrong, and still at the end of the movie nothing changes, or rather Marvel were just unwilling to write any drastic changes to their world, and instead we just get a basketball court.

IMAliyu2:
A product of Marvel.
Where they make people who were right (killmonger) the bad guys and the social commentary they side with at the end of the day is to maintain the status quo with nothing changing.

Duchessree:
You won't blame me na
The person who recommended the anime put it on the same level with "inuyashiki" and "beyond the boundary". So when i downloaded it, i was expecting some action or something,
I had a lot of high expectations for it, and i guess as the anime didn't meet my expectations i got disappointed .
This has happen to me in some anime I've watched.
While some do meet up my expectations, some don't.

Kaycee7:
A whole new volume. Pace yourself well, Togashi-san. Don't be working yourself into a hospital ward.

IMAliyu2:
Honestly the word has no meaning now.

It used to mean being conscious of racial inequality and discrimination, in American society, but can now mean whatever due to its misuse by everyone.

Hohenheim:
Wtf does "Getting Woke" even mean.

Baddestguyp:
Everytime I see any comic news trending, it's always rubbish like Superman's son is gay, Thor is Bisexual, Captain America has come out to be gender neutral etc
It's so funny and it's why I have no interest in returning to comics except maybe Invincible


Luckily Japan is not like that...e.g One Piece major plot development news is always trending, even without reading the manga, any major spoilers is everywhere from twitter to TikTok to reddit to WhatsApp...even leaks sef

Duchessree:
The Ancient magus bride is so boring, and to think someone said this anime is so interesting

I was just sleeping while watching it, anime i supposed to finish in a day, it took me 3 days to finish it

zorse:
Its a style in comic sometimes tho....

benalvino3:
Sadly this is the lie most of them believe.

People who have showed signs of extremism here are

1: Ibime
2: pride of lincoln
3: saliford

Ibime, the first time he saw what i posted and he disagrees with, he started trying to dig dirt on me from the internet.
another time, he said if My buddy whom i spent time with at Birmingham Knew i was a trump supporter, he would have spat on my face and kick me out.

I told him, I have all sorts of friends... and we all respect each other's political corner. We can argue and discuss it... but that is where it ends.

saliford and Pride of Lincoln literally hoped for gun men to kill men

these guys head no correct.

wirinet:
False equivalence. BLM and Antifa was a protest that turned violent to protest the perceived injustice against blacks expecially after George Floyd was murdered. It had no political undertone as it was not organised by any politician

Jan 6 was organised to stop violently the certification of election results and distrupt the transfer of power to a new government. The goal of the organisers and rioters was to harm the Vice President, the speaker and other legislators who wants to certify the election results. It was in effect a coup to stop the transfer of power. In other countries the organisers and participants would be executed for treason.

Discountsempai:
Been following the discussion you guys have been having...and to be honest, while good points have been made, overall, I doubt anime and manga are , as a whole, getting more 'woke and westernized' per se.

There is still fanservice (I am following anime like Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon, and even manga like Rent -a girlfriend, which have some fanservice, and then recently there was World's end harem, which was heavily fanservicey.), and Japanese culture is still permeating most manga and anime I watch and follow...old and new. There are a whole lotta titles out there, and most of them are not 'western

I also doubt that the manga and anime makers are pandering to 'woke western customers'...at the end, their primary market is still Japan, and Japan is a different country from the USA. And even some of the most woke fans out there are watching anime because it is different from what they get at home, and won't want it to change much at all. (being woke sometimes involves respecting other cultures a lot...in a way).

Ironically, most anime was influenced by Western art styles (the big eyes of many anime characters comes from Disney style animation) and some anime storylines take place either in the West, or are influenced by the Western world (anime like Black Lagoon, and recently Takt op Destiny, and Cop Craft)...so they may look western a bit.

So, I really don't think that anime is getting woke. Not when Emilia is telling Subaru in the last season of Re Zero that she may have gotten pregnant from being kissed on the cheek by him (Emilia is not a character that many a woke person would wuv.).

P.S Crunchyroll's attempt to release an inhouse anime called High Guardian spice should tell you all about how popular wokeism is in anime fandoms in the West...

P.S 2: Not into shonen anime much myself...but there is a lot more beyond shonen anime which are still very Japanese.

Kaycee7:
Nah! It's plausible. Money talks, büllshit works after all. And they've got the money to exert a bit of influence. Streaming platforms like Crunchyroll and HiDive have changed the landscape and are basically growing as revenue options for anime companies. If the revenue keeps growing, we might just see the creators leaning more in that direction.

Kaycee7:
Ok, now you're making me nervous.

Kaycee7:
I'll get worried when I see Japanese creators start pandering to the western PC audience. As long as good old Nippon keeps giving them the finger, they can cry harder for all I care

Kaycee7:
Based Trigger!

abduleez1:
That's how it is with anime.
I was heartbroken by this with Dorohedoro.

IMAliyu2:
Cyberpunk Edgerunner.

Great watch.
Rebecca was my favorite character.

budaatum:
Which riots? Far Right anti-Muslim riots that had been going on before the sex ring was discovered, or those protesting against Far Right anti-Muslim riots? We did have both over here, in case you do not know, just as America had protesters and rioters at Charlotte.


I would condemn violence from BLM and Antifa, except that I don't see the need to since they are a minority and they are not my focus. I won't condemn the BLM and Antifa protesters however, Cool, same way I would not condemn you for resisting me trying to choke you if I were choking you. Na. That's not exactly true. I likely might condemn you resisting me trying to choke you if I were choking you since you'd be stopping me from achieving my desired goal to choke you if I were choking you. I'm biased that way, I guess. I will condemn the Jan 6 insurrectionists however, because they were rioting based on a lie.

Think EndSars. I do condemn them for looting and rioting (they completely destroyed my local government building!), but I most definitely do support their cause which was against police brutality.


I know you don't like my apparent contradiction, but I'm afraid you will need to learn to square a circle.

My violence against you choking me is very justified. But your violence against me choking you is not justified at all by me, because you would be stopping me from achieving my desired goal which is to choke you.

Not all BLM/Antifa protests were riots. Here in UK BLM/Antifa did not riot though they did protest, and if the Jan 6 had been a peaceful protest I'd not have much to object to apart from their ignorance at believing a lie. They however went a tad too far, which is why they are ending up in jail, and which is where the BLM/Antifas who protested violently should hopefully end up too.

budaatum:
Is that a question or what?

British police who have gunned down minorities or anyone, pay for their gunning down if their gunning down is not justified.

budaatum:
British citizens who decide to take matters into their own hands about the Islamic child trafficking gangs that the police have not mostly ignored would be committing a crime and would end up in jail just as the Jan 6 insurrectionist are being jailed.

budaatum:
And for your information, violence is not justified, especially not if based on whatever one may believe. You might note that I did not say I'd be violent if I believed you were choking me. But if you are actually choking me, as opposed to me just believing you are, I'd be surprised if you think I wouldn't violently fight for my life.

budaatum:
Protesting for your rights and to stop being oppressed is very acceptable to me. I after all would not sit back doing nothing if you are sitting on my neck choking me, and I somehow do not think you'd agree that you should not be violently resisted if you are choking me.

I might be wrong though. You just might want me to not be violent towards you if you are choking me, but what you might want does not in any way dictate what I might do.

budaatum:
We had them here in UK too. What's amazing is the change it brought about. We have more black people on important programs on telly and the second most powerful person in our government is a now black guy from Ghana.

You can't oppress people for so long and not expect them to react.

basilico:
Pelosi called it a Summer of Love. CNN reporter infront of a burning building said the riots were mostly peaceful
The peaceful rioters were chanting Pigs in a Blanket, Fry 'Em Like Bacon about the police.

budaatum:
You must be right of course. All the Jan 6 insurrectionists in jail today are definitely card carrying members of BLM and Antifa. Even the judges dump appointed are BLM and Antifa, along with the DOJ and the FBI and the CIA.

See some of them below with their non-black masks on!
