I guess I'm a glutton for punishment because y'all have given me a mountain of recommendations for Anime/Manga to check out and having insomnia helps to get extra reading/watching tv time. I enjoy having so many shows to watch and mangas to read but I was wondering if anyone could recommend any that are western themed or were inspired by westerns. I guess something like 7 Samurai would work since that inspired Magnificent 7.
Also, so far it seems like anime/manga fans do the best job at gatekeeping. I say this because I see the most pushback against whiners about representation or "sexualization". I frequently see feminists hacks whining about pushback amongst amine fans when they want to have a discussion about the male gaze or something. I've reached the point to where I think anyone bringing up such topics should be weeded out immediately because they are poison for fandoms. As I always say, imagine how gaming would be if Zoe Quinn or Anita Sarekessian had been told to pound sand from day one.
I'm sailing the high seas, myself. As good as anime is, localizers are cancerous middlemen whom I refuse to support.
