"Anime has frightfully low poc representation"

I-i... You know almost everyone depicted is non-white right

Afsgafag they added the boondocks to a list of anime with "poc" JESUS CHRISTO
@tinykinkshamer but boondocks is western animation
@cycm I am very aware of this lmao
@tinykinkshamer fair. it’s just a pet peeve of mine when things that are not anime are called anime, even though it really doesn’t have a legally protected destination of origin or anything
@cycm it refers specifically to Japanese created animation but because of its popularity in the US a lot of people are trying to claim it as anything cartoon
@tinykinkshamer hence the pet peeve lol
@cycm I don't understand why people cant enjoy foreign media without trying to shoehorn it into western culture like so much of the prevalent themes are inherently Japanese that they wouldn't make sense as American
