people here think they're slick masking their racism by saying that they "just don't like animanga because the archetypes are a little too in-your-face" but yeah. basically what they're trying to say is that only western media has characters deep enough for them. those whacky japanese just don't write complex characters. (inb4 somebody tries to claim that there are complex animanga characters but they're not the ones people play in dwrp, followed by an entry-level list of series that would only impress people who don't fucking watch anime.)
don't even get me started on stuff that has fanservice, as if fanservice somehow magically voids all instances of meaningful characterization.
maybe just maybe they don't like fanservice and it grosses them out the way it's portrayed
maybe just maybe it's that they don't want to play with mostly teens or very very young adults
because guess what most people i know who don't like animanga play from japanese video games (a lot of which are semi-anime in style like final fantasy, full anime style like tales of, or take place in japan). maybe just maybe some people think the politics of japan are disgusting, especially regarding women but it makes you racist and xenophobic because that's just how they are!!! maybe just maybe people don't like the most common art style in this era and don't feel like digging around.
maybe i can like whatever the fuck i like and i think most la players have just as shitty taste but for different reasons. i don't even play from la but i don't fucking like anime, i actually really like japan despite its issues, and honestly most people who are former anime fans are the same.
also the entry level anime lists are bullshit. how many people actually rp from things like bebop? i think it's mostly shit, but i'd be interested in most of the characters if they were played well. how about things like paprika? the older gundams? claymore and berserk pop up but don't tell me any of those players aren't the same edgy equivalent of the shittiest la and video games.
i don't have to like anime to rp with most of them just like i don't expect you to sit down and play my vidyas but whyyyy won't you or shove some obscure la shit in your face and go but whyyyy don't you rp from it! how about if bbc, fad series/movies didn't count what fucking la do mostly anime rpers play from? pretty much none.
can we please just wank on the people who have lists full of blond haired blue-eyed damsels or harem anime protags or characters who are described by their mental illnesses instead? because i don't expect you to want to play what i like or want to play with adults all the time so you shouldn't expect me to want to play what you like or want to play with your teens and young adults all the time. because i like to fucking play with you assholes but every time i see this i know i sure as fuck want to step away because you guys always play this bullshit persecution game.
so which video games do you play from because I can almost promise you they treat female characters just as poorly as you're claiming anime does, mate.
none where other female interaction is lol grabbing her boobs and if there's a love interest the rest aren't nothing. this also goes for eastern games and jrpgs.
sorry but i've watched a ton of anime and women are always treated poorly or sexy but they're smart and tragic tho!! i never once said games or live action in particular aren't shitty toward women but i'll take one brand of shitty over others. i'd rather see an adult woman be objectified over a 14 year old pop idol. sorry it struck a chord but if you have some examples of anime that aren't black widow equivalent hardcore, exclusively existing to be an object of lust, or moe kawaii desu that also aren't magical girl anime and focus on their relationships and not how much they want on some dude's dick then i'm in.
i have more options in games and television. maybe there are good anime that don't fit a certain mold but it has its cliches and what sells the same way live action currently has it's dull as dirt action shit with samey looking white guys. feel free to point out some good anime people actually play from not the usual THIS IS GOOD ANIME because even if you want to argue whether they're good or not or could be interesting in rp, no one really rps from those series.
maybe just maybe some people think the politics of japan are disgusting, especially regarding women but it makes you racist and xenophobic because that's just how they are!!!
1. no one's arguing "that's just how they are" and writing off the whole country because of their politics makes you xenophobic hth.
2. what fucking parallel universe do you live in where donald trump isn't at serious risk of becoming president? america isn't any fucking better. get off your high horse.
The one where Georgia's become a blue state for the first time in history? Where North Carolina's going blue? Where Trump's lead on Hillary in Kansas, which voted for all past Republican presidents by at least thirteen points, is small enough to be counted on with one hand? Where Trump doesn't have the lead in a single swing state?
He was a serious risk last week. He tanked his campaign and now he's a has-been.
false equivalency those are two wholly different things. b-but whatever trump tho! but hitler so!
it's almost like these things are super unrelated and not comparable because i'm talking specifically about japan and an issue i have with it. donald trump isn't a reoccurring character in my video games, movies, comics, manga, whatever. and if someone like him is he's the villain. and it's not painted as a kawaii silly fun joke because he's a woman hugging another and grabbing her big ol titties then turning into a guy who can't decide between the space pirate and the space princess who are shoving their tits in his face how wackyyyyy
>Implying that most western media doesn't have fan service of its own variety.
What about scantily clad white girls or the "sex bomb" character types that solely exist to flaunt how good they are at seducing as a real deep character trait?
You're being willfully ignorant and trying to pin something on an entire subset of media when western media does the same fuckin shit, only in a different way.
