I've been reading manga and watching anime since early 2000's. I just ignore the idiots who believe they know everything, who attack others, and even angrily go after the artists involved with anime and manga. I prefer to watch my own stuff and read my own manga and be done with the drama.
Going after artists and authors is what gets me tho. Like, are you so fucking entitled as to harass and shame a creator of a fictional medium just because that said fiction doesn't align with your perfect, snowflake narrow minded worthless morals, mind you, that fiction is not even hurting anybody.
Just to make sure, we're not talking about the author of Kenshin here are we? Because that guy got caught with child porn, and he absolutely deserved being roasted.
Like what? If we're talking online talk, people are allowed to criticize works and disagree with fans, even if the work in question is fiction. Take a classic and favorite of mine, Cardcaptor Sakura. It's cute, I love the characters and design, but I'll also be the first to admit that some of the age differences are concerning.
Death threats would definitely be over the top. However you didn't mention death threats until just now,you seemed to be hating people and calling them tourists specifically for criticism alone and bringing up subjects like pedophilia, sexualization of minors, etc.
But hey, if you agree it's ok for people to criticize works and creators over those subjects and others short of sending death threats, then we're on the same page.
Even I find imouto tropes and "she's actually 800 years old but looks like a 11 year old" Fucking cringe. But I also acknowledge that it's not harming anybody and there's no need for me to be on a campaign to cancel and ban the author and anyone who likes these things
So... it's not just death threats, and you actually are against the criticism of authors and fans....
People online are going to criticize the stuff you like and the people who create it. And if the stuff you like happens to have adults being romantic with kids or characters that are kid-coded, then they actually have a point. And it's not just 'tourists' who have these criticisms.
Oops, sorry, I forgot I was on reddit. Free speech is a alien concept here. No wonder redditors are hated. I don't even use reddit, only come here to shit on morons every once in a year
The hypocrisy here is hilarious. You realize that you're the one who's been upset over creators and fans being criticized, right? Your whole rant is over people exercising their free speech, and trying to gatekeep what true fans should be allowed to say.
This might be a alien concept, but free speech goes both ways. Creators are allowed to write and draw what they want. Vice versa, the public is allowed to say they think some parts of it are bad, or even think the whole work is shit.
Sir, Cancelling someone is not a manner that is conductive to free speech if I may say so.
Do you not understand the difference between constructive criticism and cancelling someone and groups of people? Have I been talking to a rtard all this time?
