MODERATORS

Im trying to work out if Anime has always been like this, or if this is a new trend I'm only now clocking onto as it parallels my increasing awareness of the far-right?
Japan is a very conservative country, so the media there skews very conservative. A lot of anime does focus on "inherently evil" villains, but there's also some good stuff.
The most low effort slop invariably will just reflect the general cultural attitudes of the people, because the creator doesn't care enough to think about it or try to challenge it. And anime is an industry with a massive slop problem.
Japan is national socialist. They have socialist vibes which is what attracts us. They are also fash as hell. It's hard to say how much of that fash shit we imposed on them though
