Comment on Policy Updates and Feedback (+ a few other things)
hitagi@ani.social 1 week agoI’ve been thinking about this too. I might limit it to “East Asian” works because that covers China and Korea. But that still doesn’t cover everything. Western media with “anime influence” is also really tricky too. I was watching Genius Party (collection of Japanese animation shorts) and some of the short films there don’t look anything like “anime” because they’re not very “moe”. But a lot of Western works are “moe”. There’s some disagreement between the two terms.
I could just put “anime” in scare quotes too. That might solve it for now lol

It’s definitely a blurry line. There are definite yes and definite no answers. Things like Star Wars: Visions don’t seem like anime to many Westerners at first glance, but it is wholeheartedly. I said elsewhere in these comments that I agree that Gaming as a community is too broad since it is nonspecific. I would leave it up to the communities to police their own content, and not step in unless the community appears unmoderated.
