Japanese Calling Out Western Anime Fans for Controversial Dandadan ‘Race Swap’ Edit
   AJ Beckles fleed from Twitter
      He sure showed them
         Oh wait, nothing is stopping them from also being on Bluesky
      He pulled the same shit on Bluesky
   The art itself really isn’t bad
      The problem is the hypocrisy
         The double standard is painfully apparent
            The door is only a problem because it only swings one way
   When the Japanese see a dark skinned character, their first thought is that it is a dark skinned JAPANESE character
   His arguments are so retarded
      They still can’t understand that it is the hypocrisy that people have an issue with
         It’s Intentional Ignorance
   And the worst part is that they are just tracing the existing art
      And they aren’t crediting the original artists
         They’re acting like they are doing a ton of hard work when it is just tracing
            They apparently don’t consider animators to be artists
               They privated their account after community notes pointed out what they were doing was illegal
   Black people apparently think we owe them for anime becoming mainstream
      Meanwhile, we’re over here decrying that anime became mainstream
   People are having a hard time coming to terms with defending theft
      Black people love and support the Japanese enough to erase them
         And they attack the actual artists for making white-looking characters
   Race Swap Dandadan Fan Art Sparks Backlash from Japanese Fans, Leading Artist to Privatize X Account
      Eventually black people will disappear from anime and manga

Sony and Naughty Dog announce Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet
   Naughty Dog Disables Comments for ‘Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet’ Trailer as Dislike Ratio Explodes
      It’s bad on both the Naughty Dog and Playstation trailer
         It’s almost a 2:1 ratio
   The aesthetic is very similar to Akira
      But we all know what it really is
         This is where they messed up
            But this is what they’re channeling
   So you have to choose, East versus West
      2B or 4B?
         Can you guess which half of the industry will thrive?
            It was a deliberate choice not to give us this
   Remember what Naughty Dog used to provide us
      Even before that they promoted Keira as a sex symbol
         It’s like the albatross around their neck
            Which is why they’ve made their women into men
   They haven’t learned
      Why would anyone want to play as a bald lesbian
         The game is dead on arrival
            It may even kill the studio
   The game clearly got greenlit during the ESG craze
   The plot got leaked
      It’s shit as expected
