It’s OK to care about social issues like trans teens commiting suicide, supporting minorities, supporting protests, etc.

You’re not siding with SJWs, you just raise awareness for the issues in society nowadays.

I want to note that the way the sex binary looks like it’s present throughout the animal world is that white scientists have a terrible habit of labeling everything “male” or “female” even when it makes no sense.

someone was trying to compare snk and naruto which is horrible because hajime isayama is a war crime apologist who admires the generals of the imperial japanese army who attempted to mass murder the koreans, and believes that korea never would have modernized if japan didnt try to wipe out korean culture so really, korea owes japan and should say thank you and you should never compare the nazis to the imperial japanese army because japan actually helped korea!

isayama reincarnated the war criminal (and his self-proclaimed hero) yoshifuru akiyama as his character dot pixis and mikasa is named after an imperial japanese battleship and her storyline about being almost sold into sex slavery is disgusting because thats exactly what the imperial japanese did to korean women. all of attack on titan is just glorifying horrible war tactics and paying tribute to shitty war criminals and everything that isnt glorifying war is just jack off material for sick fucks (bondage gear uniforms, pointless gore and violence and death, if it isnt obvious enough that everything is masturbation material armin crossdresses as christa and gets sexually assaulted)

Also fuck everyone who enjoys this shit even after knowing this

I love the anime. It’s got a great plot and awesome characters. Annie’s my babe, Armin’s the coolest most intelligent badass I’ve seen, Erwin is point-blank amazing.

Just because the series’ creator is a war apologist does not mean I can’t love his series. Just because it has relations to gross events irl doesn’t mean I have to hate it. Inspiration comes from real life and if that’s where Isayama chose to pull his inspiration then I’ll give you that, it sucks that he’s an apologist and all that shit, but the show/manga itself is AMAZING and I can love it without being pro-imperialist or whatever you guys make a huge fuss over it being.

Not every show has to be a political statement. Humans aren’t mindless zombies, we can watch and enjoy something without having the messages that may or may not exist in it carved into our brains.

But if you really feel like reading what’s wrong with … whatever the fuck you just wrote up there, okay…

1) nah, I wont ever feel bad for saying the guy should die.. after all he endorsed colonization and genocide of korean people?

2) you realize the ONLY argument you’ve got here is “I knew the creator is a war apologist but THE CHARACTERS ARE SO COOOOL OMMGOMG”

3)Have you read anything the OP said? The show is not totally independent from the creator’s views on the world… there’s a character that’s basically an avatar of an actual Japanese war criminal on the show, and how are you taking this? “but the show/manga itself is AMAZING and I can love it without being pro-imperialist or whatever you guys make a huge fuss over it being”

hmm, so a show being rooting in pro imperial ideals are something we’re “making a fuss over”??

4) The show DOES embody some imperialist ideals, although it may be subtle… Such as, putting the importance of the nation before individual needs.. ex. they outcasted 20% of the population when Wall Maria fell, because of food shortage and as a result 1/5 of the population died or something…. and people just went with it? Did those 250000 people resist at all when they were told to back off? or did they just go “well,for the good for the country, I must let myself get eaten by these titans” and walk out on their own? It’s really fishy the author didn’t put any thought to the people who were essentially given the death sentence and just went w it, and given his ideals, I don’t buy that this is just a simple “plot hole”

5)The reason Japanese right wings are hated so much by the rest of Asia is they try to rationalize their colonization and imperialist era one way or the other. They say during the 20th century, Japan grew from an under developed country to a great nation, and following the European model of growth, they claim “imperialism was an essential part of our growth, it was inevitable”. In a similar way, it describes the ongoing war against humans and titans as something inevitable, something humans have to do (at the cost in sacrificing other humans) to thrive. The author made this kind of dire plot setting to point out war is inevitable…. hm…

6) stray observations from chinese/korean viewers : A lot of people have pointed out, considering Japan’s political atmosphere, and the author being a right wing guy in his 20’s, titans are most likely an allegory for China quickly rising the past few years. Also, the army in SNK is very reminiscent of the current JSDF, in that the army has been kept running for 100 years without any attack from titans… (the JSDF was first found to defend themselves from outer forces, and is currently being kept even without substantial proof for threat/ need for a separate army… may I remind you the JSDF flag looks like this)

1. I don’t know where people get off telling people to die, honestly. That’s really, really not only immature but also disgusting. If you can’t see that then I honestly believe that you have problems that you should discuss with a psychiatrist before you seriously harm someone. Some thoughts are meant to be kept to yourself, like those of killing someone or wishing someone were dead.

2. Your addition of caps and “OMGOMGGGG” really added a lot to your argument, but you missed my point. My argument was actually stating that it is a good show, objectively. It has a strong plot and strong characters. 

3. Yes, I read what OP stated. That’s why I commented — because I thought their stance was bull. I’m not negating any of the facts — Isayama appears to be a war apologist and Dot Pixis is based upon Yoshifuru Akiyama, a general of the Japanese Imperial Army. Guess what? People take inspiration from real life. If I wrote a story from a villain’s perspective and based that villain off of Hitler and freely admitted that, people are still allowed to enjoy that book whilst simaultaneously condemning not only Hitler’s actions but also the character’s actions. I’m not Pixis’ biggest fan ever. I’m aware of how the storyline treats him, he’s based on a war criminal, but who cares? It’s a piece of fiction. That’s it, that’s all. And yes, you are making a fuss over it. That’s what I said, that’s what I meant. You can discuss the show as being imperialist all you want but telling an entire fandom how much they suck for enjoying something and wishing for death upon the author is really, really terrible and you should feel terrible.

4. Uh, this makes me laugh because I think you’re a little confused. Japan, as with most Asian countries, is highly collective (take any first-year psych course and you’ll read millions of studies outlining this difference). European countries, alongside North America, tend to be highly individualistic. Your view on this is highly individualistic — I’m not saying whether it is right or wrong, I’m just saying that’s what it is. In countries where the collective is held in higher regard than the individual, this fits in with their ideals. As well, the author has every right to selectively show what is going on. The plot is getting messy and because of that he absolutely is not required to show your precious 20% fighting back against the government — in case you haven’t noticed, anyway, the main characters are literally fighting against a corrupt government later in the series.They realize that it is corrupt. 

5. Isayama made a post-apocalyptic plot setting in which war is inevitable? Stunner. It’s almost like we in the Western World aren’t surrounded by the same man vs. zombie war movie done over and over again… oh wait, we totally are. The idea that war is inevitable is everywhere. And honestly? There’s probably some truth to it. People don’t get along. When bad people get into power, wars happen. It sucks. It’s the truth.

6. Sorry how are the titans China? Because when I analyze them I moreso see it as a humanity vs. inner humanity kinda deal, you know? But that’s just me. And how the JSDF flag looks is relevant… how? If you want to know my feelings about the rising sun motif, shinden9 summarizes it pretty well — he has an extensive knowledge of the subject that I cannot hope to regurgitate here.

"Gore porn" smh. "Endorsing imperialism" smh.

I don’t doubt that there are imperialist motifs in this work. Honest, I don’t. I don’t doubt that Isayama is an imperialist. But I don’t care because I, and many others, genuinely enjoy this work.

Creators are huge shitheads all of the time. Michael Crichton was a well-known asshole but he wrote great books that many have enjoyed. Creators also put part of the real world into their work, bad and good. JK Rowling compared parts of her works to Nazism. 

Just because I like something, does not mean I support everything within it. I support Annie, a strong character who I feel a connection to — one of the first characters I have ever really felt a connection to. I support Armin’s intelligence and the arc he goes through, fearing that he is a burden and then realizing that he is strong in his own ways. I support a work of fiction that makes me feel things and makes me happy and sad and everything in between. I don’t support imperialism.

If you are unable to split fiction from reality to understand this, then that is your problem. But don’t force your silly beliefs on everyone else.

Also "all this time"?? ffs you've responded to me ONCE

It's an act of solidarity after people were MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD.

It's an act of solidarity in the name of freedom of expression and freedom of the press.

It is not about black and white. It is not about Muslim and Atheist. It is not about one group versus another.

It is about terrorism and freedom.

That's it. Stop using it to fuel your petty racism.

SYABM #comic 04 “Undercover Color Commentary”

"I Shouldn’t Have to Dip My Nails In a Drink to Reduce My Risk of Rape"; Time.com editorial by Soraya Chemaly

Here’s the Imgur thread that inspired this comic, which has some lovely comments, including the suggestion that it should come in a men’s version. I had thought that SJWs were supporting Undercover Colors, but according to Know Your Meme, reaction among them has been…mixed.

I find it appalling that there are so many feminists who want rape to be fought, as long as it doesn’t involve treating women like adults with any responsibility for their own safety. I’ve even seen some argue that teaching women anti-rape tips just means some other girl is going to be raped. No only is this a Perfect Solution fallacy, it treats rape as some sort of hot potato that’s passed from one woman to the next.

A lot of college programs that teach students how to be safer are pushed for and run by feminists who sincerely want to make women safer. Which means that the people getting called misogynist, Patriarchal victim-blamers for giving safety tips may well be other feminists.

GO TAKE A BREATHER

TELL THEM IF YOU SO WISH

POINT THEM IN A BETTER DIRECTION I DON’T KNOW

LEAVE IT ALONE WHO CARES

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO WHEN SOMEONE PISSES YOU OFF?

DOX THEM

DO NOT DOX THEM

IF YOU DOX THEM YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE

YOU ARE WORSE THAN THEM

YOU SUCK

DO NOT DOX PEOPLE

THIS IS A PSA

SERIOUSLY
