All these times I thought it was just a simple jealousy and inferiority complex being upstaged by Japan. Sure, there is some basis in that, the fact that a lot of people would rather watch Japanese anime or read manga over any western entertainment or the fact that single work of one mangaka who completely dominated and mogged the entire western comic industry but the more I consume Japanese stuff and kind of began wondering about it, the more things are becoming clearer why they seethe about Japan.
If you are like me, there's a time when I have to just completely avoid any western entertainment made by the Westerners even if it's just youtubers because in my case my curiosity gets the better of me and wanting to know what's going on lately. I don't even check out any geo-political situation because that's just too much pessimism but even the gaming news in general is just irritating, only just recently things seem to be looking up. All these western stuff has been demoralising to me so all the more reason for me to take an extreme measure.
A long time ago, I learnt Japanese language just for this occasion when I felt the need to escape from anything anglo-western. Ideally, I would have wanted to live in Japan but my circumstance doesn't allow it but considering the country I'm living in, I think I have to consider it sooner or later. For now I'm not sure if I'm the only one that does this, but I made the separate youtube accounts, one for normally browsing western channels and watching commentary videos and the other one completely exclusively for consuming anything Japanese. And does it work great? You filter 95% of anything west, no longer do you have to see any of that tiresome progressive and trans stuff or snarky comments. You are free from being exposed to that garbage 99% of the time.
This is what makes these usual suspects truly seethe about Japan, the fact you can truly escape from goyslops if you can. It's not just simple jealousy but the fact Japan can provide the normal heterosexual men good escapism, still good fanservices, great stories and cute girls. etc. This is also the reason why western publishers were adamant about putting activist localisers to sabotage the Japanese entertainment or the usual suspects trying to force ESG on Japanese companies, in that aspect Japan seems to be losing the ground. These days, it's not just reddit or twitter you get to see progressive slops. Even in 4chan, it's very hard to avoid typical western degeneracy, it’s inevitable you have to see some of the filth sooner or later. It makes me really glad at times I continued learning Japanese even after realising I don't get much chance to actually speak in Japanese at all. This feels really like the only way to avoid the western politics in general.
Fortunately things seem to be turning for the better in the west like every woke stuff seems to be getting exposed and normies are finally speaking out against this stuff. I'm kind of mad they waited this long and now that woke virus is starting to infect Japan a little bit. I want to be optimistic as the pendulum seems to be finally moving back. In short, if you can, support and reward the Japanese creators who don’t sell out their integrity to anglo-western zeitgeist and keep their contents politics free.
Why you like japanese comics so much? They only difference between them and western ones is that the emasculation of the men is forgiven because the girl does it because she secretly likes you. It's propaganda for weak men
Because unlike the west, if you don't want stories where men are emasculated, you read a different story, a lot of the times by the same author.
The west is like a fucking open sewage pipe, it's ALL emasculation nowadays. I've at least got a lot of stories where a guy starts weak goes strong and self assured that he'll smack a bitch in Asian work.
Some surely do and most men/boys dont seem to have any libido especially in school animes. But there are also animes where the mc isnt giving a fuck what the female sitekick thinks or does and just does some cool shit. Berserk, Hellsing, Overly Cautious Hero, Death Note, Gantz, Inuyashiki are just a few examples of really good animes with that.
Pfft, tfw I might be more masculine than average western leftists, that's actually kind of sad, the state of western man.
Also, I always grew up reading and watching Japanese media even when I was younger. It was natural for me to prefer Japanese media.
