Build your own ideas and have your own debates.

Except a lie unchallenged quickly becomes the truth, and a society's perception of truth influences the nature of all future ideas and debates.

The backlash has discredited the notion of a black samurai, one that has been appearing in media with increasing regularity, for many unfamiliar with the surrounding history. For those, it has also drawn attention to the media's gaslighting, and further reinforced a desire to financially punish companies pushing such propaganda.

I don't believe the intention was ever debate; Rather the normalisation of black individuals/characters in the context of Japanese culture. Your proposal, in this context, is exactly how that succeeds.

Not devote your focus on the enemies content and having the debates that your enemies want you to have.

I think you overestimate peoples investment. It has become a subject of passing ridicule. I think you oversimplify the issue to "engagement is bad". Ridicule and disdain can and have been used to immunize collectives against "harmful" ideas.

I appreciate where you are coming from, and there are instances where I'd agree. Where to engage in debate is to cede ground. This just isn't one of them.
