The person who wrote this is called Skylar Paxton. She was raised in America, reees about Japanese media is a ridiculously white suburban college girl fashion.
Now I know why she is so insecure about her supposed Japanese identity. Just sayin.

She also somehow puts Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen and Pokémon is the same sentence? Different eras, genres, target audiences, topics, franchise types. The fuck is this bitch talking about?

Pokemon is so un-anime its hilarious to watch. Just look at season one, which was clearly an anime, to the current and its indistinguishable from a Western cartoon.

Also name dropping Jujutsu Kaisen is a slip up on her part. Because its almost certain she only knows it because she is in the legion of Sukuna fangirls, who are dripping moist over his over the top personality and evil. You know, an extreme hypersexualization of a male character for what women look for.

Woah, cool it with the racism. Next you'll say that being willing to murder people for a yo mama joke is also bad.

You aren't thinking like a common Western woman, for whom a significant amount of our problems as a civilization are because that is Peak Hotness.

I know someone who just got engaged to a dude who spent years in prison. Everyone is pretending it's cool "as long as they are happy" and I'm freaking out internally. Like how stupid is this? Dude spent a good decade doing and dealing drugs, he was on the news multiple times for stuff.
But he is sooooo niiiiiice now. Lel.

I'd say these types of girls get what they deserve when this guy abuses, kills or drives them to ruination, but they usually breed with them. Creating that awesome mix of a completely retarded mom with a low impulse control, dangerous father that ends up with the worst form of offspring.

Even if the child wants to try and be better, the deck is so stacked against them it should be criminal.

Multiple things.
Everyone loves Gojo because he is so weird and funny. He is universally liked.
But he spends a lot of time in his weird goofy form.
Plus, he is still... dunno, hard to figure out. Like is he serious? Is he crazy?

Sukuna is more straight up. He looks like himself all the time, he is obviously deranged. Crazy women like that, I suppose.

Perfectly excusable if it's a second language picked up as an adult, but not for an American-raised, American-educated aspiring writer.

The average American has an 8th grade literacy level.

The English does read like the author learned it as an academic exercise, albeit one that was not fully reinforced by immersion in the spoken language (which would also rule out Japanese-American, unless isolated in a Japanese-speaking community for the entirety of the author's formative years).

The other possibility I see is that the author's exposure to proper English was only in schooling, and exposure to 'normal' English was so highly informal and devoid of proper vocabulary, grammar, and spelling that it is useless in persuasive writing, the author knows this, and is choosing words and sentence structure based on an external conception of what more formal language ought to be.

This possibility would imply the post was written with a high level of effort and mixed levels of competence, but the degree of effort put into facts (one anime from 1998, two easily found on the front page of Reddit today, one recent event twisted to suit the narrative), suggests that this was a low-effort article, not a high-effort one.

I'm confused by the possibilities, so I'm going to go with a trans-racial troon using OpenGPT as my theory. Sure, the odds are against me, but the payout is good.

The problem is that the term hypersexualized is thrown around way too often. You see the same screeching over a feminine woman who is attractive. I do know there are controversies with anime but I’m not well versed in them but there are good shows out there for sure. What is her perspective? Another left wing viewpoint?

Hypersexualized: An adult woman wearing a low-cut dress

Not hypersexualized: An eight year old boy wearing a slutty, bedazzled outfit and dancing for a bunch of grown gay men

To give some more perspective, the creations of sexualized female characters in anime have inspired large numbers of pedophilia, sex trafficking and child pornography production cases, which continue to harm Japanese women — especially minors. To selfishly remain ignorant of this problem is to ignore my safety and the safety of other Asian women. 

How many Hollywood execs were in Epsteins black book? This isn't a whataboutism, this is a projection swapping the real world issues existing in media with the fictional depictions in a clearly fictional media.

As new as this phenomenon is to America, the objectification of women in Japan has and continues to exist through the 2D form of anime.

She's mad 2D is more popular than 3D

The sexualization of Asian women in America has existed since the 1800s. After U.S.-led wars in Asia, U.S. films depicted Asian women as coy, shy, sexual and highly infatuated with American men.

Where to begin with this bullshit, EVERY kind woman is sexualized, regardless of race, religion, nationality, hair colour etc. It turns out men want to have sex and start a family and if they aren't successful in their own environment they may look elsewhere and be more attracted to that as a potential alternative.

I'll save the rest of the quotes, tldr, she tries say that anime is responsible for sterotyping Asian women, partly responsible for a 2011 shooting at a massage palor and that Anime is a harmful medium

I've noticed that these attacks on Anime have increased A LOT recently as it has increased in popularity and as the decline in western media.

I want to hear her opinion on all the different brown cultures where fucking underage girls is perfectly accepted.
Do you think this totally real super Japanese woman called Skylar Paxton wants to bring her big ideas to gypsies or Arabs? Oh no, no, never ever. 18-year-old gyppo girl with 3 kids is diverse culture, am I right? Her college professor told her.

And here we have case example 1, let's break down this response:

  1. Immediately disparages the topic, in this case calling it "little Japanese cartoons" when calling it Anime is shorter

  2. First line is to claim ignorance or falsehood at the argument presented

  3. Down votes the comments before (doesn't matter but strange how as soon as the reply downvotes immediately.)

Now here's round two:

  1. Immediate name calling

  2. Constant insistence that I haven't 'answered the question' when my point was already illustrated:

This isn't a whataboutism, this is a projection swapping the real world issues existing in media with the fictional depictions in a clearly fictional media.

Now do you want to: A: Quit now B: Continue sounding like a COD kid C: Actually make a genuine argument

Oh and I know I'm sarcastic and disparaging to those that engage with me like this, I have little time for bullshit nowadays.

This bitch is a terrible writer. Context clues can tell me she probably isn't trying to imply there were US-led wars in Asia in the 1800s, but the way she wrote it implies there were because having that sentence as a standalone without any further explanation does not flow well at all....

In 2021, six Asian women in a massage parlor were shot in Atlanta, Georgia by a gunman who set out to eliminate the place in order to curb his sex addiction. It’s clear that this act was a racially motivated crime as well as a crime of sexual violence.

I like how she just glosses over the fact that those massage parlors full of Asian girls are a thing both in the west AND in Asia.

Their very existence undermines her insistence that stereotypes (aka common observations of common trends) about Asian women are unjustified.

She also ignores the fact the dude was obviously fucking nuts.

The 1920s prudes were right in the sense that the sexual revolution has brought us to this point. Instead of focusing on being good wives and mothers women think that writing nonsense like this is empowering.

If what she's saying was true, I'd be in agreement. American culture is hideously sexualized and the sexual revolution was one of the most damaging events in our history. But she's not mad about hypersexualization, she's mad that anime chicks are hotter than her, possibly because she will never be a woman.

From a Japanese American Woman’s Perspective

Any article headline ending like that, with a 'from an X identity's perspective,' is almost guaranteed to be worthless. I can all but promise you this particular Japanese American woman is obnoxious.

I also like how the picture they chose is...a freaking ELF. That's a Japanese woman, or supposed to represent a Japanese woman? Just because it's anime? Do better, idiots.

U.S. films depicted Asian women as coy, shy, sexual and highly infatuated with American men.

What a sweeping stereotype! There is NO WAY Asian women are infatuated with American men.

This is just wishful thinking from The Evil White Patriarchy's part...

The Actual Hard Data:

"25 percent of married Asian women have white husbands... nearly 45 percent of cohabiting Asian women have white partners."

University Of Michigan: https://news.umich.edu/intimate-relationships-between-races-more-common-than-thought/

Asian women marriages by spouse's race:

  • First-generation -> 27.5% white husband
  • Second-generation -> 53.1% white husband
  • Third-plus-generation -> 36.5% white husband

Zhenchao Qian and Yue Qian : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8112448/

Fundamental takeaways from this data shows a similar high pattern of marriage to white-males across several different Asian ethnicities among Asian women... 37% Chinese females to 57.7% in Korean females.

Is this what they're teaching is okay over at University of California, Irvine?

It just seems like a complaint that people like thing and she does not like thing so it must be talked about negatively.

I personally don't watch anime anymore, but the ones I did watch had none of what she's talking about.

Unless she wants to reach across the chasm gap from hypersexualized woman to attractive woman appearing on screen. Which in of itself is an admission that she doesn't like those either.
