I can understand her argument about the oversexualization of anime, and even her argument about it being escapism, but their conclusions about it being somehow linked to transgenderism holds absolutely zero weight.
Naw, anime is a medium. From the 80's when I started watching anime there was plenty of anime that was sexualized, and many that weren't. Just like today, find the shows that suit your taste.
Also genuine question, if anime fosters trans and lbgt stuff, why don't we see more of that in Japan than we do here? Anime is ingrained in their every day culture.
What are these conservatives trying to conserve? Boredom? GDP? Anime is good and helps get me through life. There are very few things I find more enjoyable than watching Luckystar with my 3 week old daughter or Dungeon Meshi with my wife. Spy X Family is pronatalist propaganda and somehow conservatives don't like it. Gavin McInnes (A catholic) openly hates anime while the Vatican openly praises anime. Conservatism fell off.
I think the word they were looking for was hentai not anime lol People often confuse the two nowadays because they don't know what they're talking about v:
Idk man, I've been watching anime for four years now and many anime are very sexualized and even the ones that aren't can have rather degenerate fandoms
No offense but I have read 40+ manga and demon slayer has some of the most fan service. S2 (entertainment district) is rather sexuelized. It is also very violent
This is the same mindset that says " Pokemon are based on demons". Zero understanding of another culture. I consider myself more conservative than PaleoCons but I still read manga and I love the stories they tell. Far better than anything mainstream Western Comics have produced in years.
I always use that the Psychic type pokemos get defeated by the Dark type Pokemon rule and turn that to a long tangent on why it represents the danger of going to mediums in a cool way. Also what is your favorite Eeveelution mine is Glaceon
@@RabidCondor That take is better than some I've heard. Psychic types being vulnerable to ghost types is pretty poetic. Except for Mew and Mewtwo, I presume. I would have to look at the various evolutions to make that determination.

Hey amen my brother, sometimes the conservatives from the west like this one are making such BSs about the conservatives from the east for those who love anime, and they think anime is being woke and meanwhile most conservatives, ultra conservatives, right wing populist who are anime fans would actually strongly disagree on the stance.
Ayyy thanks for the shoutout again! 😅 As for the topic of the video, it always bothers me when conservatives make these sweeping generalizations about Gen Z then complain that no one is coming to their side. Ofc I’m not going to side with you, you claim to hate all the things I like. So many straight up lies in that clip, really tells me that most conservatives have never actually watched an anime, they just think it’s ALL like the clips they’ve seen online.
is less about the anime itself and more about the community around it encouraging it... also take into account that being a femboy and a trap is something encouraged in a LOT of the anime community. i know what these 2 woman refers to cause I've seen it time and time again. is it DRIECTLY the anime's fault? techincally, no. but a lot of anime trash that gets published encourages a lot of a weak mentality.
I think you're on to something with this, yes. I see it a lot in another fandom I'm part of too (furry fandom). It's a natural downside to a community being too open minded and welcoming. It's a problem with the community around it, not the medium itself.
@@Snow-Willowthis is a legitimate question, not sarcasm: What's the part of the furry fandom that's not the weird part? Cause I only ever hear about the weird part.
@@nocx4592 Hahahaha! Thank you for asking that, honestly the question itself is so genuine and understandable that it made me quite literally laugh out loud. XD Fair enough, I guess a vast majority of it depending on your perspective is pretty weird. Personally I find the part that just enjoys drawings of one's fursona or characters to be not that weird at all. So for example a friend of mine has a character that is a dragon-naga sorceress, and he pays for a lot of art of her doing sorcery things like testing out spells, reading books, ect. That kind of thing I don't find weird. Honestly I don't even find the fursuiting aspect weird. it just bleeds over into cosplay when you really think about it, but I get some people may find that kind of thing weird. For me the really weird stuff is when you get into the nsfw realm, FurAffinity can be really scary place sometimes if you don't filter that out. I'll grant there is a lot of that in the furry fandom, but it doesn't encompass all of it in the same way that h3ntai doesn't make up all anime.
This also comes across as her saying that being trans is a sexual thing, and that is just plain false. Being trans literally just means that you are not the gender you were assigned at birth. There is nothing at all sexual about it. Maybe instead of looking for things to blame for people being trans (or LGBTQ in any way), we should look to understand what they are going through, and show them kindness. I'm a Christian who happens to be trans, and it is frustrating how we get treated like problems to be solved, in stead of the actual human beings we are. Anyway, I love your videos, and God bless!
Yes and no, too much of "trans" identity these days is sexual and can be easily traced to autogynephilia. Dysmorphia suck though so I hope you find some solice in Jesus and reject the lie that you are anything other than what God made you.
Hey, I think this is a real problem for anime but not for the average viewer. Its kind of like peanuts for a peanut allergy situation; peanuta are safe to eat but deadly for select people.
And also not to mention the people in the left back then tried to generalizing everything and meanwhile the people in the right back then never try to generalize everything and yet today it became backwards or perhaps both sides are generalizing everything which is very concerning and also destroying the unity in the right.
It's both sides generalizing stuff as Western society keeps growing apart and adopting an "us vs. them" mentality which contains an idea of "our stuff vs their stuff".
@@nocx4592 agreed, and they think environmental policies coming from the left are considered woke and stupid and considering the fact, despite the facts that former american president Theodore Roosevelt has introduce ecoconservative & environmental friendly policies and laws during his term as president despite being a republican and not to mention being one of the epitome of american traditional masculine man and former British PM margaret thatcher literally introduced climate change as a global threat to UN and and yet she's literally one of the most conservatives in uk history. And the left is not even immune to this too it's literally obvious for decades now It's literally hypocrisy.
This sort of mindset hinders Christianity's reach in the culture. Instead of saying "All anime is bad and it's the reason for the West's downfall" We should instead be saying "Why is anime so popular, and what are redeeming qualities about anime that us as Christians should celebrate, and heck, what if we take all the good elements of Anime and give them a Christian moral grounding and make a Christian anime that can hold its own as a legitimately good piece of media that breaks down the stigma around anime?" It reminds me of the Satanic Panic and Christian Rock of the 70s and 80s. Christian Rock was started by Christians who were once hippie rock and rollers who wanted to redeem the genre of rock and roll by making rock music that honored God. Now, many of these bands and artists were incredibly talented (for instance Resurrection Band, Petra, Stryper, Daniel Band, Bride, etc.) and their music is actually good (instead of just being a "Christian" alternative) but because of the stigma around rock and roll that many Christians had, these bands were attacked and banned from many Christian radio stations. If they just got over their personal musical tastes and looked at the content of the music, they would've realized that Christian Rock is a tool for reaching lost souls. We shouldn't put God in a box, and we should realize that to reach the next generation, we should understand what reaches that generation. And this anime it seems is infatuated with anime, and the sooner we realize that, the sooner we can understand how to reach them on their level.
When you used Your Name as an example... The very beginning of that movie drives the point home that men and women are different and unique, despite the main plot device being two characters of the opposite sex swapping bodies. It clearly shows that being a woman is different from being a man, and vice versa. I would argue that there are some objectifying shots of Mitsuha though ("Hol up, why do I have breasts?" -Taki, probably), but so do many of the other examples for their female characters, and usually it's not too bad. Your Name is a movie that I'd like to have a long talk about with my wife... if I had one 😭 Are you planning to review Makoto Shinkai's movies soon by the way?
I'm pretty right-leaning, but stuff like this really does piss me off to no end. People like this refuse to engage in the media they're criticizing and don't understand the culture that created it. Are there some "problematic" anime out there? Of course, that's with anything. Is ALL anime bad and actively harmful? Obviously not. By this logic, we should just ban all media and entertainment no matter its form.
Litteraly the main reason I got into anime was because I was sick of the "Welcome to season 2! We now have an LGBTQ+ character and are going to dedicate at least 2 episodes to showing how oppressed -and awesome- they are." stunt that it seemed every western show I watched was pulling. Yeah, anime isn't free of alphabet community promotion, but it's not nearly as common.
Great video! You summarized this topic to very much the same degree as I have with others in the past. Lets hope that rebuttals like this one continue to be echoed by more and more people to make anime as a whole, and it's perception for those not so inclined to enjoying it, chance for the better.
I'm going to be real, their argument that hyper sexualization links to transgenderism makes no sense to me. It also feels like they're talking about anime that specifically caters to a male teen audience with the hyper masculinity and fan service. Not all anime is like that and depending on the audience, it could be the opposite or neither.
perhaps its electronic warfare, we humans are electric, some are weak against it, so many factors. its not normal though & somehow needs to be destroyed. 20yrs left.
I can hear the frustration at the beginning of this video bro 😭 it’s crazy to me that some people continue to do this and tbh it suck’s because they’re brothers and sisters and I don’t want to assume motive but they say things like this and I’d like to believe that these people are smart enough to know that saying that huge anime fans and the Trans/lgtv community are closely linked is crazy wrong. Continue doing great work bro! We need you for these types of convos
I had to laugh at her complaining about the hyper masculinity of the men in anime. I just got done with some quiet time wherein I'm reading a Warhammer 40K book. Talk about hyper masculine, I think Allie's head would explode if she ever saw an Astartes. 😂 As usual, boomer con takes are cringe. I don't understand this trend of young trad cons who are just this out of touch. The one topic she had something on is sexualized women and sometimes men, but I'd argue that's the same with every kind of media now, not exclusive to anime.
Hey you know hey you know it sounds like myself that doesn't watch anime too often I watch older animes like once from the early 2000s and ones from the 90s so I can't say for sure but I can say is this Iowa's anime doesn't make me trans and look is it true absolutely that some people how totally disagree with her on certain things but you know I can't disagree with this at the same time I do agree this one commentary it is a bit of a stretch okay look just because a few people that watch anime are trans doesn't mean that all of them do it I mean there are normal people out there that watch anime then they're not trans my brother Michael watches anime and he's not trains like that's the silliest thing I've ever heard I mean that that's the funniest thing I've ever heard point if you know where that's from like I'm sorry man like really I'm sorry man look I like Ali best stocky I don't personally watch your stuff but I've watched some of her stuff it seems fairly nice he seems like a fairly nice girl too but you can be a bit ignorant at times
Hey you want this is like saying this is like saying you shouldn't eat apple pie because of x y and z and look I don't like apple pie but does that mean I should slander someone that does like apple pie no it just means that I don't like apple pie I mean that that's a problem with some conservatives they're so out of touch with the current age and there's something wrong with that sound like myself is awful lot that's why I've touched but at least I know not to slander people that watch anime look is there some anime out there that is rather adult absolutely but don't let your kids watch that it's that simple adult animes made for adults for a reason because made for adults Domino's not saying just cuz it's adult doesn't mean you shy or watch it either like in my opinion I don't care personally if you watch such a thing like anime if you watch anime I don't care personally
