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)
