This is crazy lmao
For some context, the woman pictured is the incarnation of War (hence her love for America).
More context: Nuclear weapons got erased from reality in the past, weakening her. But the US is so bloodthirsty they ended up reinventing them from first principles.
Wait is chainsaw man kinda based ? Or at least has something to say?
Chainsaw Man is extremely based and absolutely has something to say. It's a very political series, and Fujimoto is a supremely talented writer. I'd recommend giving it a try.
I thought the series was going to be for chuds tbh because of Elon and Milei constantly referencing it.
Now I feel bad and I should probably give it a chance and read it.
You could force feed them messaging and chuds would still vomit up the point. Bad metric
It's honestly insane that Milei like co-opted a series about a guy living in crushing poverty being used as a meat shield by an uncaring government. Like the themes explored in the series are so against bootstrap libertarianism.
I thought the series was going to be for chuds tbh because of Elon and Milei constantly referencing it.
DO NOT TAKE THESE PEOPLE'S INTERPRETATION OF ANY MEDIA SERIOUSLY. You could give them the most based leftist piece of fiction ever and they'd still manage to convince themselves that it's right wing somehow. Elon literally thinks that Karl Marx's writing are pro capitalists, that's how media illiterate these bozos are.
Elon and Milei constantly referencing it.
I'm not familiar with this. Are they just using the name because they think it fits their chainsaw motif?

I read up until
Spoiler
Denji starting school after eating Makima and Power being gone but I thought it dropped the government conspiracy recruiting devil hunter plot line so I got bored and dropped it.
Part 2 does take a while to get going, it probably reads better now in a binge rather than week to week

In addition to what others posted, the main character Denji (AKA Chainsaw Man) is only 16 years old. The adults around him are constantly abusing and manipulating him due to his powers. Sure, he's a horny teenager with zero education. Yet nobody around him is looking out for his best interests or raising him to be a functional adult.
It's one of the major themes in the series. This is just a kid being sent to face horrors from literal Hell with no regard to what kind of impact this could have on his psyche.
I mean it's not like this wasn't foreshadowed with the American thugs in Part 1 and the whole Statue of Liberty stuff earlier in Part 2, but God damn does Fujimoto really hate America. Bruv really just said 
in a wildly popular manga, nothing but respect.
More and more people are saying this folks
This is not something new for Fujimoto btw, this is how he drew "Captain America":
The greatest minds of 
are going around calling Fujimoto based and praising this depiction on a recent thread talking about this chapter lol. Truly media literacy is dead.
Like, praising this depection in a "wow this really captures the truly demonic aspect of American imperialism" way or a "wow America is cool I love death" way?
the reading comprehension devil also loves america
The reading comprehension devil was eaten by Chainsaw Man a long time ago

Death of the Author just means that an author's interpretation of their work doesn't supersede a reader's interpretation and that both can be equally valid.
WHAT PART OF THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER BEING PLAYED OVER THE CHARRED CORPSES OF THE VICTIMS OF A NUCLEAR ATTACK BY AMERICA CAN BE CONSTRUED AS COMPLIMENTARY OR "LOOKING AWESOME"?!?! YOU'RE NOT INTERPRETING OR ENGAGING WITH THE WORK OF FICTION IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU'RE HALLUCINATING AT BEST OR AT WORST ACTIVELY REWRITING THE NARRATIVE TO SUIT YOUR GHOULISH PREFERENCES! THE AUTHOR ISN'T DEAD, YOU MURDERED THE POOR FUCKER! AND FOR WHAT, SO YOUR POOR EGO ISN'T BRUISED AND YOU WON'T NEED TO REFLECT ON WHAT THE STORY IS TRYING TO TELL YOU ABOUT REAL LIFE? YOU'RE BASICALLY ADMITTING THAT SENSELESS MASS DEATH IS COOL YOU FUCKING MONSTER! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Sorry had to scream into the void for a bit, but that take in the comments was wild.
Anyway got this gem from r/curatedtumbler, which is basically what happens when I'm asked to explain what Chainsaw Man is about after a few drinks, and the reply is "it's not that deep bro" - a lot of vindicated literature students out there today:
WHAT PART OF THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER BEING PLAYED OVER THE CHARRED CORPSES OF THE VICTIMS OF A NUCLEAR ATTACK BY AMERICA CAN BE CONSTRUED AS COMPLIMENTARY OR "LOOKING AWESOME"?!?!
Worshipping power. When your empire is morally bankrupt, you have to replace morals with something. Social Darwinism and all the other shit that replaces humanity and inevitably creates fascism.
Miyazaki 🤝 Fujimoto
Despising the USAraki has been shitting on America for decades as well.
that's fucking WILD
THEY NUKED THE USSRThere's also a bath scene in the manga where denji sings a pro union song
What's this from?
The latest Chainsaw Man chapter, just came out today. The whole series is very good.

If I want to get started with the series, what version should I start reading on what site? I saw on mangadex that there is an official colored release, but it doesn't have english chapters uploaded.
Mangadex complies with takedown requests, so they'll only host the english chapters that are officially available for free (the first 3 and the most recent 3). There are a bunch of sites hosting pirated versions of it, though you'll obviously want an adblocker (here's one from a quick google).

wheres the based devil because im lowkey scared of how based fishymoto is
Oh is he like the opposite of that Manga artist that made Attack on Titan? Or Kojima (who I know doesn't like war, but I heard he's an Ameri-boo)?
I think fujimoto and kojima are very similar in their love for western cinema/media. I’ve only ever played mgs1 mgs2 and a little death stranding but imo it’s hard to say how kojima actually feels about america. I think fujimoto was pretty clear today
