Comment on TIL why I think anime is winning over Western adaptations

That’s just not true.
P4 was so painfully obvious about it’s messages of tolerance and feminism that some people thought it was even more progressive than it was intended to be (making naoto out to be trans instead of the message it intended: acceptance of women in all areas of life). Wonder Egg literally had someone fight a physical manifestation of transphobia that was threatening to ‘cut it off’ when talking to a trans girl just to make it so obvious it’s impossible for those stupid people i mentioned before to ignore it. Killing slimes for 300 years is the most heavy handed anti-work culture piece of media i have ever seen and I’m in the anti-work movement. I haven’t watched One piece but it’s apparently obvious in it’s message against authoritarianism. Anti-homophobia messages tend to be said out right in long running shows or yuri/yaoi shows. Nothing gets more brow beat-y and obvious than anti-war and anti-violence stories in eastern media.
