We even have a literal term for it, westaboo, to describe the constant fact of the Japs being obsessed with Western aesthetics and media without a hint of understanding of it. Kojima is famously one.
From dudes wearing cowboy hats for no fucking reason, to them constantly using Gnostic nonsense, its no deeper than a bunch of dweebs.
Kojima has a better understanding of western things than most of them. While MGS does have some Japanese sensibilities and moralisms, it very much addresses the US military industrial complex and intelligence agencies' criminal behaviors. It's not Deus Ex, but sometimes it's clever. Whereas whatshisname with evangelion is just a dweeb.
He does, but only because he obsessively consumes Western media by the dozen. Much like a weeb in America can consume enough anime to have pretty deep knowledge on topics related to Japan, if a little generalized.
Anno is a retard who stumbled into something better than he could comprehend, as shown by his attempts to recreate it falling so flat. He is Japan's version of Alan Moore in that way.
