For me its like they keep getting upset when a protagonist isnt a good person or a messed up person! Like why?! Is it because of western media?! (Asking this as a USA person myself) its also like they cannot decide for themselves wether they wanna see something or not.
So, they see a single youtube video and they go muh show bad! Oh for fucks sake just sit down and enjoy what you wanna watch, yes some stuff won’t be for you and you won’t like it that doesnt mean you need to whine about it and attack others for liking those things!
Like this is so common for some reason, like I never seen a person say “uh I dont care what your opinion is and I didn’t ask for it. I like it so, what?” I cannot fathom why! Its like they cannot accept people like different things and won’t watch what they want to watch.
News flash! Some actually are tierd of goody two shoes main characters! Its like they go muh problematic! watches anyway and complains Dude, anime isnt supposed to be that deep! Just watch what you like and research what an anime has! Don’t like ecchi?!
Don’t fucking watch high-school dxd. Its like they dunno anilist or myanimelist exists…are they casuals?! Just because you don’t like something doesnt mean you have to or can tell others “don’t watch it!” Dude…they aren’t you! Yeah end of rant, what about you?
Hello, I do agree with you that people shouldn’t condone it but accept that it is messed up and not justify it, but its what is in the specific show or whatever media however.
And this “Also, this isn’t specifically an anime thing, nor is it specifically a western thing, but I get a little frustrated with “it’s just fiction”. Fiction is constructed out of the worldview of the creator(s) and will always contain at least some of their ways of thinking. All art contains some meaning to it, and teasing apart exactly what a piece of art is trying to say is typically both useful and fulfilling.”
No offense but this to me is incorrect, you say fiction is constructed out of the worldview of creators and that art always has meaning?
Im sorry but sometimes that’s not true. Many Japanese media make this type of art because they can and feel like it, say for example does the author of overlord support genocide? No! But why did they make it? Its simple…the author likes dark media, sometimes authors are just tierd of writhing morally good characters and want to write about dark things because a fresh air in writing and sometimes because they are bored.
Remember sometimes humans are just simple and want to make things simply because they can, you wouldn’t say every single isekai slop has meaning would you? Aside from cute characters? If you feel frustrated that’s fine its your emotions after all but you shouldn’t ASSUME that for every author in the world, humans always has in idealism and that no one is truly the same, right? Yeah that’s my reply on what you said. Dont like it? Thats okay, hate it? Thats okay too, its just how you feel that’s all, you can do whatever you want with this reply or just chose not to read it, its your body, your eyes, your brain. And also fiction is ment to be a sandbox for ideas and fun actually, would you say a story a kid made has to have a deep meaning? Not really right? Or maybe you would. Anyways, Im having fun interacting with everyone!
