The thing is that none of the media you're talking about was written for Americans, so Americans shouldn't comment on it. It's like white people critiquing gangsta rap. Yeah, it sucks, but it's not for or about you, so move on.

So unless you fit a certain demographic, you can't comment on the bad elements of something? I'm really not comfortable with that. I mean, by that logic...nobody over a certain age can comment on a cartoon's portrayal of gender because it's meant for kids. Women can't comment on most forms of media because it's primarily aimed at men. Minorities can't comment on poor portrayals in media aimed at the majority. Japanese people can't comment on any poor portrayals of them in Western media. IDK, the whole thing doesn't make sense to me.

Not to mention that a lot of anime is created with keeping the Western market in mind...particularly anime made in the 2000s. For example, Kino's Journey was funded with money from the American licensing company ADV, Funimation has made several deals to create anime versions of American properties (like Witchblade, Dragon Age and Mass Effect), I believe I recall hearing that Black Blood Brothers was trying to capture the same American market that liked shows like Trigun, etc etc.

By that logic, no one who isn't American should ever criticize American media.

OP

I grew up in America, but I'm hostile to a lot of elements of American culture, and I welcome anyone else's aid in expressing that hostility, no matter where they come from. I think it works the same in expressing hostility to twisted elements of any culture. Sick and wrong is sick and wrong no matter where you are.

Christ you're thick.

It defies belief people like you still drop dumb lines like that.

Get educated pls.

By that logic, I can't criticize the presentation of women or LGBT characters in video games, because video games are made for straight dudes and not for me, a bi girl. Fuck you.

Ooh that's going in my "Fabulous False Equivalencies on Fandomsecrets" list.
