Anime - Socialism with Kawaii Characteristics

725 readers

Welcome to Lemmygrad's corner dedicated to anime memes and discussion! (manga/manhua/manhwa/donghua/aeni count too)

Remember to Read the Rules™:

  1. Absolutely no racism, no transphobia, no homophobia, no ableism, no misogyny, none of that!

  2. No low-quality images. Images containing text should be legible.

  3. Please mark spoilers with the prefix "[SPOILER]" in the title of your post.

  4. Please mark NSFW content as such. This does not, however, mean you can post hentai.

  5. Absolutely no NSFW content containing or involving minors will be tolerated.

Please report any posts or comments that are in violation of the rules.

Guidelines

  1. Try to keep it left; memes don't need to be socialist in nature, but it'd be nice if we could keep the discussions that way.

  2. Posts do not necessarily need to be about anime memes, they can also be about other things related to anime, or having an 'anime' art style.

  3. Try to provide sources for the images you post.

  4. There's nothing else for now. We hope you have a great time!

Or they tell you to go make your own...like damn they have plenty of depictions of actual white people with blonde hair and blue eyes, but they can't depict Black people properly??

i'll never get why they say this btw, it's not as easy as you make it sound to come up with a good story, especially one that'll be a smash hit too

but they can’t depict Black people properly??

nope, because somehow they never "interacted with a black person in their whole life" 🤡🤡🤡

Good stories aren't difficult to make if you have the creativity and the will to make something that doesn't have to rely on harmful stereotypes for representation. Problem is, there isn't much incentive to do so cause that's not profitable, and in the end we all know that's the reason why anime can be so toxic in a patriarchal and mostly homogeneous society.
