Ffs, why is a non-obscure old anime so hard to find, even trackers offer only the OVA/"movie", movie and remake? T_T
I am speaking about Neo Human Casshern. I just wanna see a classic dumb hero thing of a robot guy and his dog, NOT fixup full of Terminator references, NOT stupid edgy barely-there movie and definitely NOT in-name-only Casshern Sins whinefest that seems to be immensely popular. Please.

The Flaming Freezer is basically a known subtard for years. He's not just your normal weeb, he's a straight up Japanophile. He's on record on twitter & YT (mostly YT) for simping for Japanese subs, however in his case, he does it just cause it's Japanese. But he's unbiased & said that any dubbed language except Japanese sucks ass.

However, that would just make him a normal sped. What makes him so known & even lolcalf level is that he considers watching english dubs to be a crime worse than rape, murder & even pedophilia. He's actually on record saying that literally on twitter btw.

He's also known to mock people with disabilities when they explain to him that they (in some ways) need english dubs (or dubs in their own language). He's has unironically called retards (not in a casual way, but in a slurry way) for explaining they need english dubs for anime (ADHD people have a hard time reading subs).

He gained attention when Kira Buckland (YoRHa 2B from Nier: Automata, potential future Jolyne Kujo for JoJo Part 5 anime) called him out on a twitter post for what could be considered basically harrassing people for liking dubs (english dubs mainly, but applied to other dubs too). IIRC, it was around an year or 2 ago, maybe 2018.

No, Megan Thee Stallion Isn’t a “Fake Anime Fan”

When someone says, “she only cares about anime to get us to care about her,” who exactly is “us”?

Megan Thee Stallion and Anime – Or, the Male Gatekeeping of Fandom Sp…

It was one tweet, in particular, that spearheaded the conversation. “Just a reminder, that Meg The Stallion doesn't give a f*ck about anime, or manga. She's just another clout chaser, using the hobby to get ahead in her grift,” the Tweet from user @BlackDGamer1 read. Since it was posted it has garnered 4.6K quote retweetsand only 619 likes.

As someone who has been into anime since I was a small child (starting with Sailor Moon, Digimon, and assorted Gundam series) and has kept that energy all the way into adulthood, let me make it super clear: No one gets into anime for clout. Not that girl with the Dragon Ball stickers on her folder in high school who didn’t talk to you. Not the cosplayer who goes to conventions to show off her skill and won’t hook up with you at the con’s party. And certainly not Megan Thee Stallion.

When someone says, “she only cares about anime to get us to care about her,” who exactly is “us”? There are two things deeply and immediately wrong with the idea that there’s an “us” when pandering to Megan’s openly weeb self. First, the fact that “us” clearly isn’t nerdy Black womenand, but their dusty dude counterparts too attached to gatekeeping to realize that Megan’s public display of fandom is good for all of us. Rather than acknowledging that Megan’s primary audience of assumed-nerdy Hot Girls are the folks she’s supposedly pandering to, many dudebro nerds have decided that she’s performing extreme anime nerd for a subset of male anime fans who’ve made it incredibly clear that they don’t see her as part of “their” community of fans.

Every single time that folks are reminded that Black women, in particular, may like nerdy things like anime, a rush of people trying to defend “their” thing from outsiders quickly follows. Fear of “fake geek girls” comes from an inability to share “your” toys with people you think don’t deserve them. In the case of Megan and other Black girl anime fans across the internet, it’s the belief that they visibly don’t belong to the fandom spaces; that there’s only so much oxygen in the fandom, and that anyone who isn’t like you is wasting a precious resource. To men, and some women with internalized misogyny and what I like to call Lone Geek Girl syndrome, Black girl nerds are the ultimate “fake geek girls” because we really don’t look like the ideal image of anime fans in the United States. I know this because I lived it.

I was subjected to knowledge tests, questions about (official) merchandise purchases, and demands that I, a supposed interloper to nerdy spaces I’d been part of since I could be trusted to go to a comic book store on my own, proved that I belonged.

That’s why I will always be bitter when I see tweets like that one about Megan: “Megan doesn't give a f*ck about anime, or manga. She's just another clout chaser, using the hobby to get ahead in her grift.” For someone like that, there’s nothing Megan can do to prove that she is an actual anime fan and has been one from a very young age. There’s no point where she can be authentic to their nerd experience or what they think a “real” anime fan should look like.

What stands out is that these fans don’t do this for anyone else. The fans making tweets claiming Megan, or any other Black woman with even an ounce of internet presence, are faking being a nerd on main “for clout” are definitely not chastising male rappers for their oftentimes surface-level nerdy references.
Click to expand...

When male rappers like Lil Uzi Vert or Kanye Westreference anime, they find their lyrics or music videosformative. That’s fine. It’s accepted. When Megan calls herself Todoroki Tina on main and does an entire photoshoot for Paper Magazine cosplaying her favorite My Hero Academia character, she must be faking it.

What I find especially annoying is that so much of this gatekeeping is coming from other Black people who are also not the target audience for the overwhelming majority of anime series. We’re talking about Black nerds who know that they’re not welcome in the wider anime fandom and who are subject to antiblackness coming not only from other fans within their community but also from some of the series they watch. In October, #Blacktober launched as a safe haven for Black creators and cosplayers to showcase their art in fandoms they’ve long felt excluded. At points across the month, the Twitter hashtag challenge received backlash that involved racist slurs being sent to Black artists and race bent characters drawn via racist stereotypes with the intent to harm Black people. Even graphic images and videos of real-life gore were tagged with the hashtag.

Rather than viewing Megan’s interest in anime as a version of hip hop’s legacy of incorporating geek subcultures into her oeuvre publicly, these fans have decided that this is Highlander and there isn’t room for her visible anime fanning. Because they believe shethinks she’s talking about their “incredibly niche interest” to get clout and, as a result, anime isn’t so niche anymore. A lot of the comments scattered across the internet criticizing Megan Thee Stallion’s love for anime try to pull her down a peg and say that she’s not special for liking anime. To an extent, they’re right.

Just remembered that Redo of Healer is supposed to come out in about a month. I watched the recent PV and it actually looks like they put in effort to animate it. It's going to make the inevitable sperging out on twitter and reddit even more hilarious. Also is it me or does the protagonist bear an oddly striking resemblance to Rance?

 
Redo of Healer is bridge too far for me. I'm fine with plenty of (non-pedo) morally sketchy content, but Redo actually made me feel unclean for having read a bit of it. Even slave-harem series are at least trying to play things off as both parties to the sexy times wanting it, Redo is about using mind control to revenge-rape. Even if the targets are terrible people, there's just some shit you don't do.

I mean, he also does some terrible shit. Like he is trash no matter how you slice it and it is NOT going to be a fun or easy watch. Sort of glad they're making it to make these faggots uncomfortable.

I posted about this in the black women and anime, but black guys and anime have been a thing for a very long time. Black guys do NOT want black women in their spaces. God bless these black anime nerds for doing God's work in gatekeeping these rancid bitches out of the hobby. :semperfidelis:

They're always going to be uncomfortable. The problem with Redo is that for once their complaints might actually be legitimate, and why give them that?

I mean, would I have rather they picked something good instead of edgelord trash? Sure. But its obvious they animated this for the publicity. I mean the author clearly has a rape/defloration fetish. Its pretty fucking crazy and is basically a hentai manga. I don't even know how the fuck this can be translated at all to begin with.
 
If Redo is popular enough to get an anime ad for the ln, then why shouldn't it?
I'm probably not going to watch it, but edgy shock schlock has always been an anime staple, thinking about it that way, this is more a return to form than anything else.

I've definitely seen H-games with basically the same premise before.

All Japanese have a rape fetish. Its science.

Anime always had some edgelord stuff. It just now also went mainstream so normies and SJWs complain about it. Fate/Stay Night had a woman get eaten/raped to death by worms, but now adays you can find Tumblr types who love the series and praise how it has #LGBT characters because of the threesome scene. Difference between then and now is that the old style Otoku just stayed away from the stuff they didn't like. If you don't want to watch Rance violate a bunch of woman, you just don't play a Rance game. Normies and Tumblr types hate the very existence of the edgelord stuff and try to stop it from existing. Like now with the Redo stuff.

That is the thing basically, they don't have a point. If you don't like something then don't watch it. There isn't really a point to stopping other people from watching something even if its terrible.

Isn't Casshern getting all it's old shit re-released because he's in some team up with Gatchaman?
