Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://9anime.to/ and https://4anime.to/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
though i think there's a solid argument to be made for most of these being conservative, even if not in ways this guy would necessarily recognize as such. name a series on this and i could find a legitimate, not a bit reason it's reactionary. that goes triple for one piece
Lucky Star?
Azumanga Daioh?
Azumanga Daioh, the anime where the frigging air force makes a giant rainbow pride flag in the sky above wedding bells and an ocean of flowers when a girl gets paired up with her crush who is also a girl
Kaorin is literally me
normalizes
with that one teacher i guess? i got nothing tbh
Kimura is typically the butt of the joke and is hated by basically everybody, so I wouldn't say it's normalized per se, especially not when there are many, many, many other anime that do normalize
stuff
yeah i just mentioned it because it was the only thing i could think of, not because it's actually worth condemning the show over
the real reason it's on this list is of course because it is very funny and that means conservatives also like it, and this one felt the need to justify it by saying it was a conservative show
iirc it has some jokes about foreigners? i don't really remember and definitely think it's one of the most 'on the list because it's popular with a certain age demographic of weeb' things on the list
"some jokes about foreigners" as in Patty Martin being a weeb?
isn't there a bit where some creepy foreigner hits on them? idk. this is very vague memories i was never the most into lucky star, and i am not really making the claim that anything on this list (outside of like, tanya the evil) is actually an inherently conservative thing
You might be blending two different scenes, actually, because there was that one scene where some locals started taking pictures of Tsukasa because she couldn't say no so Kagami had to step in to get them to back off, and there was a different scene where some Indian tourists approached the gang asking for help in taking pictures of Koufuku-ji.
ahh you're probably right. i should rewatch lucky star
