Posted in the general discussion, but I think this deserves it's own post.
So, I was listening to Clownfish TV's (pop culture commentators that has a good feel on the culture wars) recent episode discussing the mess between DeSantis and Disney, when one of the hosts mentioned, briefly, that "right-wingers" are now attacking anime on social media.
This is surprising news for me, so I want some evidence if this is true and what is going on, because I have a feeling that there is more to this beneath the social media surface that might negatively impact our GreatAwakening.
Nothing turned up so far when I searched YouTube and Truth Social was equally quiet on that front, so I was wondering if it was a hoax.
Ultimately true, but ugly characters are more than humor, they can be used to tell story of tragedy through their eyes, and being playable in competitive gaming adds a dash of humiliation. Though there is a reason China forced Blizzard, for example, to make more kinds of elves to be played with damn near every expansion. But forgo races that were often a staple to their factions in World of Warcraft. The most played races in the top MMOs are very sexually charged and pretty.
I personally want more ugly characters, simple fact that it is because it adds more options. We often have no problem playing monsters, and ugly men. But I do not want more to "fill a void" of representation that doesn't exist. So it is just wild that you can WANT to honestly make an ugly character, but forever be "woke" in the process.
