@LORD IMPERATOR I'd argue most anime is woke in the sense of having fag, troon, women in power, anticapitalism etc. Themes. But the problem with woke media was the virtue signaling and face shoving it had. I feel just like the far left he missed the point in Az's starfield rant. He didn't care first grade English was required to interact with in the character creator. He cared a game he was excited for sucked and that they thought a few lgbt themes was a good bandaid for a shitty game. I mean. Look how many troons got offended at dragon age's writing with how bad it was. People as a whole don't care about wokeness for its politics. But they do care about it when their media stops being fun. Especially when it's clearly a bandaid for a product they already knew would be bad.

Outside the Hayao Miyazaki generation, there aren’t a lot of mainstream anime with anti-capitalist themes. If anything, the Akira Toriyama era was very openly anti-communist. The Red Ribbon Army themselves could be looked at as a parody of woke culture if first appeared now. My hero Academia is very pro-capitalist and has libertarian themes. The villains are even leftists motivated by social justice. Hell trannies and gays are still overwhelmingly comedic relief. That’s very politically incorrect.

I'd argue it's more fun seeing their sexuality be used as a gag or two and still being important to the story than unimportant background characters that are gone in 5 seconds or badly written cringelords. Gay shit was used as gags in a ton of gay films made by gay guys. The problem is they aren't allowed to have fun. As Satan famously said in devils advocate. "You can see, but not touch. Touch but not taste. Taste but not smell." Back in the 80s-2000s a lot of shit was far gayer. But it also had fun. Honestly the push to 'normalize' gay people seems more a push to make faggots act like boring regular people in films. In the 80s he would be called Baron Faggot Von Testicle Eater The Devourer of Semen and he'd have bulging biceps that had bulging biceps. Now we have Fred, he fucked his husband, that's all for Fred.

As for anticapitalism themes, using mainstream Shonen isn't a great argument. Especially when one was made in the early 80s and the other one is the rare gem of American comic book simps. Not to mention you kinda missed half the plot considering mha has one villain, and a bunch of people he manipulated from birth to do what he wanted. You really can't use their villain status as a statement of anything if you're supposed to empathize with everyone except all for one who doesn't even really have a political agenda. If the point of the series is bad people only do bad things because a private system that was unknowingly run by super satan manipulated them into having no other options you really can't call their actions the problem its criticizing.

This just in, folks:

Video games aren't art.
None of them, no matter what. Because, uh... reasons. Because they're "too collaborative," and not just one guy's vision (except for the games that are), which arbitrarily means that the resulting product can't be art—even if multiple people on a dev team come together to make something good. And they're not art because no game is perfect. And because even good games that are "almost art" still have stuff in them that Razor doesn't like, which means that they're not quite art.

Stay tuned to Razorfist Arcade for more shit takes!

Hot take. Even Dragon Age Veilguard is art. It's shitty art that art the clown would smear on a gas station bathroom in a terriier movie. But it is technically art.

The two biggest anime franchises are Dragon Ball and Gundam. One revolutionized shonen, the other was the face of the anime mecha genre for a generation. And in both franchises, the capitalists are the good guys.

Dragon Ball's Capsule Corp has come in handy for the heroes more than once, with the dragon radar, CC starship, and time travel machine being their inventions. Bulma has been one of Goku's oldest friends, and if it wasn't for her tech helping out, the good guys would've been screwed ten times over. Later on, it's her food that keeps the god of destruction Beerus and his angelic partner Whis dependent on the Earthlings, since they can't cook for shit when compared to the food Bulma brings to them.

As for Gundam, in the main UC continuity, capitalist ventures such as Anaheim Electronics and their private army, the AEUG, helped save democracy when the Federation government turned tyrannical and gave power to an elite group known as the Titans. Without the money and tech expertise of Anaheim, the AEUG wouldn't have stood a chance against the Titans or Neo-Zeon.

Literally, the two biggest animes are about how capitalists are good, and how they help save the world with innovative tech and monetary support.

You'd think Razortits would be more considerate towards anime, given that they have no problems portraying capitalists as the good guys. Even something as based as Cobra Kai has its main capitalist character, Terry Silver, be unapologetically evil.

A fucking rock is considered art. If that's all it takes, then video games have been an art form since their conception.

Art is Charles Bronson movies and cardboard cut outs of Sylvester Stallone. None of those things are video games, ergo video games cannot be art. Checkmate commies!

The isekai genre is literally built upon teaching capitalism and Japanese work ethics to fantasy races. The most anti-communist themes you can build a whole genre around.

Once again, you'd think Razorfist would be in favor of an art form that isn't afraid to make capitalists the good guys, as opposed to the West where unless said rich person is a superhero, he's usually a bad guy.

For a dude who hates Commies, he sure as hell doesn't appreciate it when something is openly pro-capitalist.

Where's the emphasis on the importance of owning your own capital in any of these? Do you think capitalism refers to working for money? It means being able to purchase capital or land and own it. A lot of these are feudalist or monachist which don't allow peasant classes to own capital. And nobles are required to get their capital purchases approved by the king directly. Having a class that isn't allowed to own property is anticapitalism by definition. Congrats. You played yourself by not knowing the literal definitions of the term. And assuming capitalism and communism were the only two economic systems in history.

 

[Me262PrinceOfTurboJet]

I could be entirely wrong, but didn't Daniel put a copy of Ace Combat 6 on display in his room at some point? I remember it was a big deal because Ace Combat 6 was an Xbox 360 exclusive after being a Playstation exclusive since the first game, Air Combat. It was the entire reason I bought a 360 back in the day. It turned out to basically be a graphical tech demo with only 15 planes. One of the lowest numbers in the franchise. Possibly the lowest in the main numbered games. A massive leap backwards from Ace Combat 4, 5, and Zero in basically every sense aside from graphics. Only really memorable missions were the first and the assault on the Aigaion, Kottos, and Gyges. It was still a good game, but it was probably the weakest in the main series. Still a Hell of a lot better than Assault Horizon, though. Jesus Christ.

Actually, they do. Some peasants worked for wages and bought their freedom from their feudal lords. Kings even supported cities of free commoners not under the control of nobles where the locals have access to money and capital; the kings did this because these cities of free commoners were a good support base to counter the power of the nobles.

And nobles are required to get their capital purchases approved by the king directly. Having a class that isn't allowed to own property is anticapitalism by definition. Congrats. You played yourself by not knowing the literal definitions of the term. And assuming capitalism and communism were the only two economic systems in history.

Uh, no. Nobles during a feudal society have more power than the king in many respects. He's their leader so long as they approve of him. They can decide whether or not the king's son inherits or if it's an electoral monarchy, and they can kneecap the monarch if they think the man's not doing his job right. It wasn't the Renaissance where the kings had armies of bureaucrats and professional soldiers which allowed them to steamroll the nobles like it's nothing.

Danny-boy probably had that on display because it was a 360 exclusive. After all, the dude praised the 360 for ending the Japano-philic attitude of gaming in the sixth console generation. I loved the 360 because it was more versatile than the PS3 and it had great games, Razortits loves the 360 because of his ideological hatred of games from Glorious Nippon.

Dude really lets ideology tell him which games are good or bad. And not even design ideology or what makes games fun, but where they're from. If that isn't a sign of his skewered priorities, I don't know what is.

 

[RestoreDaFagYiff]

@LORD IMPERATOR that's a hybrid economics system of monarchy and capitalism that merely served as a bridge from capitalism to monarchy and back to capitalism, that's not what's in the animes mentioned. The anime clesrly dont go into the transitionary periods where people wanted to see if true monarchy would suceed and afrer they realized true monarchy was just as shit as all other authoritarian economies. In the animes listed however, they don't talk about the economy at all. If working for money being promoted alone is pro capitalism then Karl Marx mustve been tne most pro capitalist person on the planet with his "he who does not work does not eat" rhetoric. Like, if all those anime are pro capitalism wheres the themes about purchasing capital to drive out competition, performing a better service than your opponents to expand your area of operations, or driving out a bureaucracy purely from your bootstraps (you know, the cool shit that actually separates capitalism from everything else?) Sayijng an anime has characters living in a hybrid economy means its a pro both of tnose economic concepts separetely story is like saying because us has a hybrid of capitalism and socialism that pro America content is pro socialist as some of our systems (mostly safety nets) are socialistic. It's easier to look at the actual individual themes of the individual show and you can prove they either have nothing to do with economics at all or are anti capitalism. Pro capitalism would require the message to be free market solutions to the world's problems. Which is rare for anyone to do in fiction and definitely not any more common overseas.

That being said. My point was the massive amounts of faggots, troons, troon lites (femboys are inherently roons, look up the actual definition of troonsgender), anticalitalism themes etc. Are woke. What separates me from Danny is I don't have a problem with wokeness if it's good and not a virtue signal, and also that I never fucked a kid (honestly the most disappointing thing I found out from here, like what the fuck is wrong with people). But your defenses using surface level analysis which isn't actually applicable to the plot or message of any of them is pretty retarded. They're woke, you like woke things when they're well written. Most people do.

Also more to the point. I said expand past Shonen and you listed 3 Shonen. Shonen means it's target demographic is boys (as opposed to seinen for men). Isekai for male kids isn't any less Shonen than tokusentai for male kids. Like, you could've at least sent a shojo (girls) or Josei(women) or seinen(men) example. My point of saying go outside of Shonen wasn't to say all Shonen was mainstream. It's to say Shonen is considered immature and kid friendly. That's why it's meant for young boys instead of men. If you're gonna weeb off with the anime pfp, you're gonna have a bad time.

Edit: scratch that, you listed 2 Shonen. The clip you showed was from the first series. You not only mistook Shonen for a genre rather than an age bracket, listing Shonen isekai thinking that isekai weren't primarily Shonen, but couldn't even list a third.

Spoiler: ANIME AND CAPITALISM

@LORD IMPERATOR that's a hybrid economics system of monarchy and capitalism that merely served as a bridge from capitalism to monarchy and back to capitalism, that's not what's in the animes mentioned. The anime clesrly dont go into the transitionary periods where people wanted to see if true monarchy would suceed and afrer they realized true monarchy was just as shit as all other authoritarian economies.

Monarchy is where capitalism originated from, my boy. Capitalism arose from the bourgeoisie class within monarchical states, and prior to communism, capitalism was at its strongest in Great Britain, which was still a monarchy with an aristocracy and an established church by the time capitalism grew in power and scope. Industrial capitalism had its real start in Great Britain during the 1800s, the rest of the world simply followed suit.

At the same time, Britain still had things like kings, nobles, and an established religion-the hallmarks of a proper feudal hierarchy. The Brits allowed the Irish to starve because they had a different religion. Nobles continued to have a great say in Parliament, especially when they married into the bourgeoisie class and continued to prosper, giving them a voice that the common man lacked. And the king continued to have a voice in the government, to the point where someone like Queen Victoria can just revoke the East India Company's hold over India and take full royal control of the colony.

So yes, in the world's first capitalist power, the official church still got preferential treatment, the nobles and the rich have more political power than the rest of the 99% rabble put together, and the king/queen can seize corporate property at a whim.

In the animes listed however, they don't talk about the economy at all. If working for money being promoted alone is pro capitalism then Karl Marx mustve been tne most pro capitalist person on the planet with his "he who does not work does not eat" rhetoric.

I'm pretty sure that rhetoric is older than Marx. English colonists were saying the same back in the 1700s.

Like, if all those anime are pro capitalism wheres the themes about purchasing capital to drive out competition, performing a better service than your opponents to expand your area of operations, or driving out a bureaucracy purely from your bootstraps (you know, the cool shit that actually separates capitalism from everything else?) Sayijng an anime has characters living in a hybrid economy means its a pro both of tnose economic concepts separetely story is like saying because us has a hybrid of capitalism and socialism that pro America content is pro socialist as some of our systems (mostly safety nets) are socialistic.

Pro capitalism would require the message to be free market solutions to the world's problems. Which is rare for anyone to do in fiction and definitely not any more common overseas.

You actually had anime such as Dragon Ball and Gundam where the capitalists were the good guys. Free market economies and private entities created things like time travel machines and Gundams, which saved the fucking world more than once. Literally, without them, the world would've been overrun by the Zeon or destroyed by the Androids.

Again, it's funny that Razorfist hates anime when anime is open about being pro-capitalist, as opposed to a lot of western media where if a rich man isn't a superhero, 9 times out of 10, he's a bad guy. If Razorfist was consistent in his beliefs, he'd be singing the praises of Dragon Ball and Gundam for having openly capitalist heroes. If he's willing to hate video games for ideological reasons, he should also be willing to love other pieces of entertainment for ideological reasons, too.

 

[RestoreDaFagYiff]

@LORD IMPERATOR It literally doesn't though. You're saying "good guy gets paid" = pro capitalist. Yet the events of these stories either clearly say nothing about it like DragonBall or outright show it to be a flaw like My Hero Academia (Shit stain is proven right about his hatred of heroes for pay how many times in the series? I lost count.)/Gundam. Just having a good guy do a thing doesn't mean anything. Also, how many superheros in comics and movies are gazillionaires and quite clearly the good guys? If that alone constitutes pro capitalism to you, you have a very low standard that doesn't actually hold true. Pro capitalism would imply that the capitalism was the good thing, not that good people can be capitalists.

This would be like saying star wars was always at its core anti American/ pro terrorism because it critiques the US military in the Vietnam war. In reality its anti what we were doing. There aren't very many pro capitalist stories in general, there's anticapitalist stories and stories which feature capitalism but aren't about it in the slightest. But in order to be pro capitalism it has to be both saying capitalism itself is why they were good, and also show why alternative beliefs are evil. Which outside of Ayn Rand you don't actually have. This is why I'm saying your defense here is pretty retarded.

The proper defense is that none of that matters, it's media made to entertain you and if you like the film it's good. But the fact anyone who watches the anime you mention can debunk your claims on the message of the show says to me you clearly don't pay attention and are grasping at straws. There is factually very little pro capitalism media. And the vast majority of it was made in the US.

 

[LORD IMPERATOR]

Nope. I'm saying that the anime is pro-capitalist because it's literally the capitalists and corpos (Capsule Corp., Anaheim Electronics) that give the heroes their ability to win. It's literally private enterprise which creates the tools the heroes need to win. Without these private groups and their innovative products, the good guys are SOL.

Now can we get back to Metalhead Spoony, or are you going to trod this out again?

What does Capsule Corp do in dragon ball? How much of the plot actually revolves around it? How come in all the years its been around not 1 single episode has revolved around Bulma and her father inventing things? Capsule Corp has literally nothing to do with the plot of dragon ball. You grasped at straws because you know it's not about capsule Corp and there is no intended message involving capsule Corp because they have nothing to do with the entire series. You're a retard who has mocked God by refusing his gift of brain cells. Stop mocking God by being retarded. Blaspheming the lord by abandoning his gifts is unforgivable. You're going to Hell now. Stop it. Get some help.

And you dare shit this thread up by arguing with me only to be proven demonstrably wrong again and again and then bitch about me being the thread shitter again boy? You're arrogance and mental retardation are strong with you. But alas the mentally retarded side of the force is weak. Your mediclorians are as low as your iq. Single digits.

Also, if you're wondering why I didn't respond to your defense of monarchies a capitalist nation's being compatible. You proved why they aren't by showing Britain had to give up most of its king's power and authority to become capitalist. Implementing a republican system of parliament that the king technically could overthrow but never did because the threat of people from the aristocratic nobility was too strong and had overthrown kingdoms countless times prior such as the French revolution. The king technically still has this power but never will act on it because his political authority is meaningless when people have more power than he does in actuality. In other words. If the monarch is the publics bitch. He ceases to be a monarch. Britain killed all semblance of monarchy to become capitalist while larping they still had a king even though nobody respected him and they all knew. Congratulations the king is an celebrity rather than a divine authority in every country outside of the Vatican a nation so small and weak a school shooter could wipe it off the map. Monarchies are soooo cool that none of them function as one nor have for hundreds of years. Congratulations on proving my point by trying to debunk it.
