Go on youtube, and all you can see is thousands upon thousands of videos with plenty of likes and support, decrying anime as misogynistic and sexist and whatnot. There is a lot of breadtube videos sharing their communist and feminist perspective on eastern media. An example is that mha video I posted before with 1.1 million views and 68k likes now. This is why anime should've never became popular in the west. Feminists genuinely need to fuck off. And there is also the popular sentiment feminists use when you bring up that anime made for women exists is that "female gaze" media doesnt objectify men and respects them as people and is about emotion and being well written, while "male gaze" media objectifies women (via camera angles or outifts), and is thus inherently misogynistic and toxic. Basically, male gaze = always bad and female gaze = inherently good and non objectifying. I saw a video where a feminist literally fucking said the anime free! (which features shot of boys abs constantly and is blatantly pandering to women) is just "using the male gaze on other men". Basically saying that sexualized camera angles and outfits on male character dont appeal to women, and overall camera angles and sexualized outfits on the other gender only appeals to men, but emotions and good writing is what the "female gaze" is (because I guess men are just sexist pigs and women are these enlightened beings, right?). Lmao at people saying that "japan is the most backwards and sexist nation", when americas top music videos and social media platforms have probably even more female sexualization, and also when africa and the fucking middle east exist lol.
And these people arent a small minority these videos and social media posts get a loy of likes and shares with shit tons of comments of people whining about muh soggy knees, this is what happens when anime becomes popular in the west.
A breadtuber named big joel made a video that has positive reception by the leftist community where he argues that anita sarkeesian was right and that sexy women in media harms women and he even compared sexy women in gaming to nazi propaganda https://yewtu.be/watch?v=aKaiq1rnSMw
Then in another video where he tries ro debunk mras, he makes the argument and Im not joking that male suicide is only high because there is more access to guns https://yewtu.be/watch?v=xDI4F7eWu7k .He undermines the severity of male suicide in society. And both of these videos have positive reception in his audience.
Then this faggot makes a video wondering why men arent going to the left and why many men are against the left (Gee, I wonder why?). https://yewtu.be/watch?v=R0_1a2cGFDw
Leftists believe game boobs are worse for society than male suicide. Keep this in mind.
But remember that mha video i posted? Reading the comments and even the newest commenrs just anger me so much. It really is a sin nowadays for men to enjoy sexy women in media. Same people who brush aside things like male suicide and other problems men face but act like anime titties are oppressing women. Im really starting to have thoughts I dont want to have. They also hate on "male anime fans". Fuck these misandrist cunts. But I guess men looking at woman shaking their asses on ig isnt harmful either. I saw a girl on instagram showing off her ass and it got like 17 million views. How is that not harming women either? Im sick of this garbage dude
The resetera post I posted earlier wasnt real and it was actually fake. The poster in the post never actually posted it. I feel bad because he actually seems like a cool dude so I dont want to frame him as some prick bitching about sexism. I aplogize to u/golconda and hes actually a cool dude and not some insane person so please dont attack him. It was fake. I got it off /v/ so I didnt know. Mods hopefully you see this too
I personally was never really into capeshit really, and the "batman is a facist" line seems like more corpo pandering towards the leftist younger generation. It sucks because blue beetle is an interesting and underated character in my opinion, but everything made nowadays just seems so souless and overall rubbish. And off topic, but is it just me, or but political hamfisting in modern media aside, does most piece of mainstream media nowadays just look so souless (I know thats an overused word online, but I feel like thats a good way to describe it) and uninspired nowadays? Especially with all the remakes coming out. The way i'll describe it, old movies are the old google logo, and new movies are the modern corporate designs you see every company using. Just like old skeumorphic designs I'm a fan of, polticis aside, old media has a certain charm to it I just dont feel in any new mainstream things nowadays. Sorry for going on a tanget lol but thats how I feel.
The left are a gynocentric movement. There is a reason why most people who identify as communists nowadays also identify as feminists to. Many early and influential feminists were socialists. Keep this in mind. Thats why the left loves to call men who disagree with them "incels". Its kinda disgusting how the left treats lonely and suicidal men. Their go to insult is to literally categorize their opponents as lonely, sucidal, depressed nerds (basically what an incel is). I dont even like Tate and he is in the opposite end (he says women are property) but its no wonder many young men flock to him, since he at least seems to care ( I know hes a grifter, but im saying many young men would see him that way). And its funny how only Andrew Tate gets backlash for saying bad things about a sex of people, while feminists are openly misandristic all the time but either it "doesnt happen", "its different", or "its justified because men have power in society".
Most leftists like to say that "anitas critics never even watched her videos". Those who did, did she really make any good points that women in gaming were just mere sex objects and nothing more or were just damsels in distress? I still see leftists saying she was right like shaun and big joel. I dont like her because for example she said that Elizabeth from bioshock infinite was a sex object for the male gaze and shat on other female characters like lara croft and bayonetta for daring to show skin. Ffs I dont even think characters like ivy valentine are sexist. Im a man and I dont find sexualized male characters like the ones in final fantasy mmo or granblue fantasy sexist to men (and before anyone says those characters are power fantasies, heres what one of the characters look like. if you honestly think thats just a power fantasy for men and isnt sexualized than idk what to say). Shes like a fucking nun who thinks women showing any inch of skin is automatically objectification. Ffs she got mad at bo katan for daring to have armor that helped her breasts. How can leftists who claim to be sex positive like such a prudish lady idk. And shes also against sex work and she is against the slut walks too, which is funny because I bet most of her supporters dont even know that.
Overall whoever watched her videos, did she make good points or proved how sexist gaming was like breatubers and leftists say?
