I'm all for examining the stories you consume and speaking out about their values and biases. There are a lot of things in animanga that I'd like to have more of a community sounding board for.

That said, I don't like dogmatism. I'd be really embarrassed if Americans started applying their "our way is the right way!" loudly, on the internet, to manga. Screaming at your own content creators to fall in line with your values can be obnoxious, but is sometimes warranted. They're supposed to be at least partially accountable to you. Screaming because you're consuming media in another language, from another culture, aimed at their public, and it isn't entirely to your taste ... smacks of arrogance and entitlement to me. Not because the Japanese get everything right. They don't. They really don't. But until we have to deal with another culture that has the clout to tell us all the ways we're doing it wrong, using the fact that we consume significant quantities of their media to try and dictate what values we want to see strikes me as imperialist bullying.

Western fans have every reason to talk amongst ourselves about what does and doesn't sit right with us, in animanga. I'd just hate for that to turn into some stupid, crusading attitude towards what we think "should" be made in Japan.
