      I never thought I'd be using terms like "media illiteracy" so often and unironically, not until I encountered your average anime tourist.
      What's weirder is that I'm an American, a straight white guy, I've barely scratched the surface when it comes to watching classic and popular series (I've watched two dozen total, and that's a drop in the ocean), AND I'm a fucking DUB watcher! Even taking all that into account, even I hate these shallow, braindead people who give weebs a bad name.

    I hate that nowadays people immediately assume that if it is in fiction it's making people want to do the same in real life.
    I like lolis, i like them because they are 2D, because 2D is different and i know that they are different and real people don't act like that, that doesn't mean i want to do something to irl people, just like a person who watches/reads a very violent anime wouldn't want to go over on the street and harm real people, but sadly nowadays people seems to be reverting back to the 90's where everything that wasn't the establishment was automatically evil

      Same can be said for majority of the "taboo" fetishes. A lot of people have an incest fetish when it comes to anime/manga, but that doesn't mean they look at their siblings the same way in real life. But this is something the normies will never understand.

      I don’t interact with most people about loli anymore online, people are so unhinged about them. I don’t understand it, I’ve never once looked at a loli and thought it looked like a real person, it’s a cute anime character. But there’s people online that actually think they’re like a real person, the amount of people I’ve seen actually say “that’s a literal child”.
      I don’t know if they just don’t know what “literal” means, or they’re actually viewing them as real.

      I read a very popular, fairly recent and surprisingly good novel about a year ago and holy hell, anime wishes it could do stuff that horrific and controversial. And while it was certainly not an enjoyable read, it was... enriching? Enlightening? Not sure how to describe the experience. It did not glorify or fetishize the horrors and it certainly didn't corrupt me into wanting to do any of the things portrayed in it but it did help me understand why some people would do these things and that it's not just because they are evil. But nuance like that is lost in the modern knee jerk reaction internet age. Which is why I will not say what the book was. I am NOT opening that can of worms.

    When I really got back into anime three years ago, I didn't expect to see so many prudes trying to worm their way into the medium to censor and sanitize it. It still baffles me to this day, because one big reason I got into it again was that it ISN'T censored or sanitized compared to a lot of western media.
    If I look at my three favorite anime series, Sword Art Online, Attack on Titan, and Mushoku Tensei, each one has (to varying degrees) very dark subject matter that it explores. SAO gets into depression, suicide, discussions of what constitutes life itself, and the infamous sexual assault scenes. AoT gets deep into the horrors of war, class struggle, segregation, racism, and even genocide. Don't even get me started on the things MT covers. When was the last time you saw another anime focus a story arc on post-traumatic erectile dysfunction?
    It's to the point where I straight up discard certain opinions on these stories. If I see people talk about how Sword Art Online is such a great and fantastic series EXCEPT they can't stand the sexual assault scenes, and they should be removed and never seen again, I don't care what they have to say anymore. If I ever see someone say Attack on Titan is too dark or too close to some historical event or another, and it glorifies war, some shit like that, I could not care less about their take on the story. And, as happens more often than not, if someone starts talking about Mushoku Tensei by saying it's about a pedophile in a little boy's body, fucking girls half his age, I will absolutely just ignore that shallow bullshit and move on.
    Unfortunately, understanding the complexity of good stories comes with the horrific realization that there are countless people who never will, barely even try, or simply lack the capability to do so.

      While I have the same opinion on Attack on Titan and Mushoku Tensei, down to the same reactions against people who have horrible takes like you described;) I would say concerning Sword Art Online that I am a bit torn on the series, because while we see the dark things you talk about the thing (at least to me) is that more often than not those dark moments are at the beginning (s1 first half and to some parts in Alizication and War of underworld (for Underworld? can't remember and to lazy to look it up) What I find difficult, because they imo botched the first season a bit, is how utterly OP Kirito is.
      I mean Eren in AoT is also OP but we see him struggle with his ability and everything to the point he gives up, S2 I think it was (with Historias Father). In the end he becomes the villain of the story which is balancing his OPness out imho. While Mushoku is litteraly the life story of Rudeus and while the man gets OP just through his advantage of "being a man in a boys body" the story is not about his Power or to phrase it better he isn't always able to use said power to get the outcome he desires.
      With Kirito well..... especially aggravating was the last season in this regard because his friends fight their asses off and damn near win while he sits like the whole f**** season in a wheelchair, but no the Big Bad overpowers them and he wakes up and now it's super easy for him...... like come on why.....
      Sorry for the rant....
      Otherwise especially with your closing statement I 100% agree.

    My views on this are pretty cut and clean.
    Nothing should be censored, I don't care who consumes the media or how they could be influenced. If no real people are harmed in the creation of the media, then anyone should be allowed to consume that media for any reason they choose, whether as thought exercises, education, or just pure entertainment.
    Nobody has the right to nanny the collective human race on what they are allowed to watch, listen to, or read.
    No individual, corporation, or government body is entitled to gatekeep the sights and sounds that enter peoples' minds.
    If somebody goes psycho, they were already on that path. Bad actors will consume the same media perfectly normal harmless people do.
    Bad people can not be 100% prevented, they can only be prepared for and reacted to. It is pointless (and in my opinion immoral) to detriment the good people in an attempt to predict and preemptively counter bad people.
    And honestly the more ingrained into anime the stuff these censoring types find unpalettable, the better. Less likely they will try to latch onto something they find wholey repugnant and try to slowly change it.
    If you don't like it, don't watch it.

    Here is my belief, having Ecchi in Anime sure you can't show it to younger family members and some of your friends.
    But if your friends can't accept you and your hobbies, then you shouldn't feel like you need to share it.
    Share it with like minded friends who enjoy that stuff along with you.
    Younger family members on the other hand, there is Sailor Moon and Pokemon and Digimon and Samurai Pizza Cats.
    There is also Assassination Classroom and other shonen comedies that you can test them on.

    1:05:29 People feeling fulfilled by dark stories is something that I don't personally relate to either, but understand to an extent. It's mostly a form of validation really; these stories acknowledge dark realities (though there are MANY cases where it is very juvenile in its execution) without holding anything back and without the notion or idea that it'll simply be alright in the end even if a lot is lost. It can be cathartic to finally see something that reflects your life or at least, how you feel about your life and the world you live in, where even having a general happy ending isn't guaranteed, yet you suffer all the same. Especially if this dark story has spots of hope or even just light, it can inspire people even if like 90% of the story is depressing. It's one of the big reasons why I feel Berserk is as popular and acclaimed as it is, as it is one of the most ideal stories for people who want to feel this kind of catharsis (other stories like ASOIAF also have this sort of idea; lots of darkness with bright spots of hope that are small, but significant, and that small significance is what is most inspiring)

    Hopefully with Roxy's daughter she can shed light on the things that Zenith is unable to say.

    We need anime that pushes boundaries bigtime. What has happened to anime like Urotsukidōji, Kodomo no Jikan, Boku no Pico, Bible Black, Cream Lemon, Koi Kaze, Aki Sora, Shōjo Tsubaki, Excel Saga, Puni Puny Poemy, Mezzo Forte, Lily Cat, etc.. No anime should be banned. Controversy is healthy! We need to get contronted with all sorts of things in fiction, regardless of how unconfortable they may be. Aforementioned examples need to be (re)released on home video in Western nations in their complete, fully uncut, unedited, graphic and uncensored glory, regardless of whether I find them uncomfortable or not.
    Censors falsely assume that fiction normalises bad behaviour. We know that fiction never harms anyone. Unrestricted artistic & creative expressions need to be supported without compromise, regardless if certain people find certain types of fiction / art obscene.
    Those who promote censorship via extortion and laws under the
    guise of preventing harm, are the ones who are exclusively
    harming & infantilising people the most. Such a vile
    misanthropic mindset can easily be described as extreme bigotry
    of low expectations.
    There is absolutely nothing immoral about depicting or
    describing taboo/sensitive topics (e.g. incest, rape, sexiness,
    etc.) in entertainment. Fiction never negatively affects
    reality. To claim otherwise is like claiming that e.g. cutlery
    and chopsticks cause obesity.
    Stricter standards in any form of entertainment are
    usually/always synonymous with regression, infantilisation and
    creative bankruptcy.
    Eastern entertainment usually contains consequences, real
    storytelling. No watered down nonsense that was advertised to kids all through the 70ies and 80ies.
    I watched the religious Right and the satanic panic try and
    ban, burn and censor everything. I watched the left and their
    PMRC try to censor, burn and ban music. Both sides are terrible. Same agenda, different reasoning.
    Everything has to fit into the
    narrow mindset of ideologues. They leave no room for nuance and critical
    thinking is discouraged. Do as I say or be outcast is their
    mantra. Both sides do that.
    Anime in the 1980ies and 1990ies were spunkier, flashier, unrestricted. Writers and animators had way more creative freedom and their committees much smaller. Today, too many cooks spoil the broth. We want to see Japanese entertainment from the Japanese lens. Not this sanitised Western lens. When it comes to the sanitisation of Japanese media, Western Anglophone nations outside of Asia are the most guilty of this. Screw Global Standards! Screw generic lowest common denominator slop! Screw Wooden Spoon Standards!

    I think Mushoku Tensei is interesting in that it's not following the beats of a redemption story because it doesn't appear to be one. Rudeus grows up. Or out, anyway. It's a story of a hikikomori managing to grow past that and become more or less a more normal, but still problematic person.
    Do we accept that person? To what extent do we do so and why? This is super relevant because this is a worldwide phenomenon to some extent. What do we do with the people who want to grow and be more, but who can't make up for what they've been and what they've done?
    I think it's not going to be to the liking of everyone, but we're all going to have to deal at some point because it's not just a story on paper or on stream, but a real story about real people who exist in the world. Do we send them back to their solitude and dysfunctional life?

      It could never be a redemption story. He gets to be a different person and escape the consequences the first time. The second world is more forgiving in his crimes and misdeeds because half of them aren't viewed as societally wrong even though they still effect people. Yes, there is some room for growth, but typically those kinds of people need to find new people and circles to really refresh so going back to the people he's wrong in his second life, in a world that largely doesn't condemn him for his actions, is the epitome of wish fulfillment rather than something that should be learned from.

    I don't think anime goes to far in general. I love that it explores some deeper and darker themes or isn't afraid to be risque. If there was only one thing i could change. It would be to age up some characters that do fall in to that Ecchi category and for a majority of shows that only needs to happen on paper. Just to bring it in line with what most of the world deems acceptable which is usually in that 16-18 range. But For example 100 girls who really really love me.... Hilarious show but there is 0 reason for a character to be portrayed as minor who has a dipper. Sure they try to get around it by saying actually she's the eldest and uses science to appear younger but that fly's way too far into PDF territory. Making characters 16-18 in most cases requires no art change. Rather than 13-15 as they are typically written. Japan has changed its laws on ages for example its age of consent has been raised to 16 bringing it in line with most of the west. But that hasn't filtered in to anime and manga yet. Personally if an anime is going to be Ecchi or needs censored/uncensored versions then i think the characters should be 18+ but at a minimum 16-18 range at least would fall into what's legal for most countries.

    Story Telling should always come first. If turns out to be Controversial and Challenge Thought then so be it.

    if i watch or read something that im not comfortable with, i just stop and move on my life,i have already have high tolerance because i live childhood in the 90s when censorship is not too strict,i watch some 80s movies that look like a snuff film.for me its just fiction and don't mix it in my reality.

    Dare I say you’re conflating western story telling with mainstream story telling. I argue east and west doesn’t matter. What matters is mainstream vs independent and unorthodox story telling. Main stream is fine. But I like out of the box story telling. You wonder why Joker Folie A Deux is so hated. You wonder why Star Wars acolyte is so hated. It’s not mainstream story telling. They are mainstream ip but unorthodox story telling not palpable for the main stream audience. Some people say that the second season of arcane isn’t as good as the first. Gee I wonder why. Oh I know. it’s because the first season of arcane has a digestible story to the mainstream. I think that’s what’s missing in this podcast. its the less than mainstream anime that your worried about. Japan have been trying so hard to conquer the world with their japanimation and Japanese comics that most the audience outside of japan conflate the more out there anime that is clearly not mainstream to western story telling while trying to defend it. And you know what. I think that’s the internets fault. What a monolith the internet can be at times.

    If you think x, y or z manga is dirty.
    You haven't seen Sundome a manga that was published by Yen Press in the late 2000s

    if anyone reading this is offended by drama queen, I advise you to read any european highschool history book, or even american but the ones before the year 2000. You will be shocked what actually happened in the real world.

    I personally have never like loli stuff i find it disgusting. That said, Idc that it exist, if it bothers me I can just go watch something else. I do hate the main stream audience nowadays crying about everything. We should've held the gates instead of being so open. Now anime is filled with tourists.

    I'll dare say that YES, some stories have no right to exist and shouldn't exist.
    You talked that an author shouldn't tell you that the "wrong things" in the story are wrong (or right). I agree that the reader also have a responsibility to think for himself, but sometimes the reader doesn't and its very ignorant about the matters in the story. Some as very influenciable and are exploited by the author. Some authors don't want to tell a history, like for example a mangá where the characters talked about how the many crimes against humanity Japan committed that they "learned at school" (I don't think Japanese schools teach that) were all lies and that Japan was just a poor victim.
    A story like that should not exist and I would personally throw copies of it on the bonfire.
    Now, about Drama Queen, I imagine some people are on guard for the always present possibility of a switcheroo, but anyways I find it very interesting because I don't think Nomamoto is "reliable". I have this feeling that she wasn't actually hit by the aliens and her nose bleeds for some other reason...
    Even so, even if it is what it seems and the protagonists are "anti-heros" doing something "wrong", we can at least see why would they do that. That page on second chapter with Kitami "erasing" the cause of his suffering as beautiful.
