.... Because as we all know, trannies are the people whose enhanced thinking and superior way of life is what we should all aspire to?
I meant more like "trannies are weak-willed, porn-addicted manchildren, so if they can turn on something they really like and formed their identity around for not aligning with their values, I should be able do the same thing."
I mean, your rant is you like a lot of anime aspects but wish you didn't because of some bullshit values.
The only aspects of anime I like at this point are that it focuses a lot on cool vehicle designs that are too old/expensive/not in the right format for me to own, the music (which even Null says is understandable), and the backstories/tech specs to a few mecha shows. The rest can go in the trash, and anime would be vastly improved if those few core elements were kept and adult characters and a greater focus on originality were front and center. For over a year now I haven't been able to watch anime that's not mecha/sci-fi because whenever I try to, I see how stupid it all is and I feel like I'm getting a lobotomy. Even when I watch toku or western manchild slop I feel so much healthier and freer than when I watch anime.
You're sounding like those guys in the 1980s who think they're not allowed to like Dungeons & Dragons because it has demons in it.
Except that Dungeons and Dragons being satanic was conspiratorial nonsense while anime degeneracy is right in front of your face and not at all a conspiracy.
"The definition of a puritan is a person who lives in abject terror that someone, anyone, anywhere, is having a good time."
Are they having a good time, though? The majority of weeaboos I see, regardless of age or gender, aren't happy or healthy. They're porn addicted shut-ins who tend to fall into political extremism, are single-mindedly obsessed with anime to the point where they blow money on the crappiest merchandise and art commissions because it caters to their obsession, can't socialize well in public, have strained relationships with their parents, never get into romantic or social relationships unless with it's other weebs, tend to be average at best in school and work, and tend to have mental health problems. Deny it all you like, but see if you can rebut this without resorting to false equivalence, no true scotsman, or ad hominem.
This is what we mean when we're anti-anime. Japan's culture is fucked and exporting it to the West brought the worst elements of it. None of the positive traits made it over, just the weird sexual stuff. In the 90's Japan's weird sex stuff was the butt of jokes constantly. Now it's a life style we document on the farms.
Also in general, it seems like it's always the worst kind of anime that gets super popular and defines what future anime will do in Japan. Dragon Ball turned shonen manga from poorly-written but inoffensive comics (i.e. Kinnikuman, Saint Seiya) into borderline ecchi and introduced all the cringe tropes (forever fights, fourth-wall-breaking characters that completely invalidate weebs' argument of "muh MCU quips", and just really bad writing) that define shonen. Macross, which admittedly did a few cool things, paved the way for idol anime and mecha that try to be romance/slice of life shows instead of serious sci-fi shows. Urusei Yatsura paved the way for harems and ecchi as standalone shows. Code Geass paved the way for trainwreck writing and worldbuilding/sci-fi as even more of an afterthought than it was in Macross. Straight-up hentai paved the way for OVAs, which then became disposable seasonal anime. It also sucks that weebs tend to fixate on the worst aspects of anime (overexaggerated emotions, non sequitur randumb "jokes", moe art, romance) while saying that shows that eliminate all the cringe and dare try to be a bit more original and unpredictable are bad.
Dungeons and dragons players have to constantly battle with weebs who want to turn their games into animes or porn games.
I also see this a lot in fanfic communities where they constantly try to bring anime into spaces where it's not necessary. Spacebattles is overrun with isekai crossover garbage.
I grew up watching the same series and I watched all of Ranma. Ranma should be judged on it's content when the most common joke is
I wouldn't be surprised if Ranma paved the way for tranime/futanari since I've seen lots of trannies credit their "egg cracking" to Ranma and similar genderbender anime.
Well hey, who's to blame really for the decline in quality of Western media and animation? Anime is just, for better or worse, filling a void left behind.
Literally anime since the Calarts bean mouth and the plastic Pixar look are all anime-inspired. There was a really nice art style in cartoons around the late 90s/early 2000s -- Stargate Infinity and NASCAR Racers have this style --, but that's all gone and replaced by anime.
Normalfags love anime, its everywhere from t-shirts to malls to even on their cars (essentially replacing shit like SW/HP bumper stickers).
Normies have gotten into anime only because the pandemic forced a lot of people to consoom different kinds of media if they wanted to do something new every night. Watching anime is easier than reading a book, so they all got into anime and gacha games and whatnot just for some variety. But the number of normies to whom this happened are very small compared to the number of people who didn't do weeb stuff during the pandemic, so it's a moot point. The popularity of anime nowadays is also probably due to porn (I think hentai was a top category for Pornhub in 201
, and coomers (not even lolicons and open gooners) love to centre their lives around porn and things that remind them of it because it's an addiction comparable to alcoholism or meth and stronger than any other due to unlimited, free, instantaneous access.
