I'd say Anime, manga and to some extent Manwha is putting up much better resistance than Western media ever did.
I think a combination of nuisance streamers, card companies censoring and the big example of Assassin's Creed Shadows has collectively pissed off the Japanese enough that they can even not follow the same self destruction the west did, especially with US government money being shut off.
These 'conservative' types though are saboteurs as rather than just going 'this show is for me, this isn't but this other one is' they do MASSIVE generalisations like your Matt Walsh types so piss off people that might be inlined to the right. Thank god they're nowadays overshadowed by your MAGA types.
I didn't declare victory, only that they had a better chance to avoid the same path the West walked down in terms of culture.
Also using Covid was a bad move as they didn't enforce or coerce vaccines, they labelled side affects broadly in fact I think they were the first to ban one if the risker ones that was developed in Europe and didn't lockdown instead blocked all foreigners from entry instead.
Israel had the highest vaccination rate out of ANY Western country, yet we're not seeing such adverse health affects compared to high vaccination areas like blue cities leading me to think some were way worse and more experimental than others. Them willing to ban certain ones that showed more a history of more adverse effects along with their elderly population contributing to high jab rates.
The push backs in the west was met with institutional crackdown, at least there is no sign of that in Japan.
What do you all use these days? Mangadex is okay, but certainly not as good as the older sites were.
It's so frustrating that the 'legitimate' options are so god awful. Even if you actually do find one that has the content you want for a reasonable price, the user interface is just fundamentally worse (every time I've seen it) than some kid's free site that just displays an image with nothing else. Not to mention that sometimes the translators completely bastardize the content (Zolo).
MangaPark works well for me.
Dynasty Scans is great, but all-Yuri & occasional gender-bender.
I miss the old catalog. Suncoast and there was another (it was a big thick black book, got Guyver and NGE dubbed from them in the very early 00s)
I mean this guy (the author of this article) might not be the same as Matt Walsh, since he seemed to have been simply avoiding anime before he got harassed in to watching Frieren(his own words) and unlike Walsh who has not said one good thing about anime even when being recommended great stuff like FMA brotherhood (so Walsh is just a troll really) whilst this guy happens to like Frieren. Im just hoping that after Frieren, he sticks to avoiding anime and doesn't try to get involved with it cause i know he might end up like another Walsh if he did get too involved in it.
Well unlike Walsh he's not beholden to a controlled opposition subversive zionist at least and is an actual good Catholic who isn't a zionist so he's got that going for him.
Careful. Mention Matt Walsh and a few days later someone will be a bitch and comment how you've got it all wrong, he was just being sarcastic...the numerous times he's gone on about games and anime.
Meh, at this point like most of Daily Wire, I don't care about them as they're mostly irrelevant.
Something shared by a lot of former viewers according to recent news..
I hope you're right, but to be fair they've barely been challenged until now. The true test is coming, and we'll see if they're prepared. Personally, I fear they have no idea at all what's coming down the pipeline, and won't be prepared.
I think just like Trump winning in 2016 led to them pushing their plan without the groundwork in 2020 so they failed being accepted at large, him winning in 2024 and subsequently cutting off their slush funds has fucked a lot of those plans again.
I have no doubt that Japan was next to be subverted and their culture ruined but with the fireworks happening daily at home, they don't have the resources to push into Japan AND fight Trump. Hell they're stuck using lawfare only and that's still a losing move.
Like I said, hope you're right.
And I'm not saying it's hopeless or anything; I never do. But we call these people and forces "subversive" for a reason. It's hard to fight subversion, it worms its way in and does its nasty work. Yeah, the apparatus got a major wrench thrown in the system, but my point is, for all their basedness, I don't think the Japanese, or other groups that hadn't been hit as hard, really understand the scope of the woke plague. They can't fight it if they don't understand the methods and dangers, and it doesn't take much to get the foot in the door and corrupt everything.
Hopefully Trump being Trump slows them down enough to make them ineffective, but we'll see.
Anime might be challenged, but manga/manwha is pretty safe because its got basically a bottom bin bar of entry.
Some of the most popular manga of the last few years started as Twitter posts, basically our version of webcomics, and only got picked up based off pure popularity there. But plenty of them did full runs as just Twitter comics to completion and were no less for it.
So while webcomics never got "mainstream" enough in the West to be really considered anything but novelties, manga outside the magazine industry is already grown to be a huge market and they literally cannot control it short of full Censorship on all social media sites (possible but a huge endeavor).
If the Woke were smart (they aren't) they'd start cracking down on scanlators instead, to try and stifle the flow of non-mainstream manga into the West. But they don't even realize that's the true threat to their control, and god love those autists for it.
