CHERYL NO
you're not watching riverdale correctly until you have a cocktail in your hand
@prowlish YO HAVE FUN
So fey warlock made flesh @visages suggested Jazz for my new car but then my friend Jay suggested Deadlock and I am now at an impasse because I'm weak
Also @Nezchan I know its been a while but I'm still laughing at the flintstones is my favorite anime
@cycm @Nezchan I mean they are cartoons, animes just a shortened term for stuff from Japan thats works well because its gotten such attention internationally. Usually I'll just say x cartoon. Like hey have u heard of x, this Chinese cartoon series. Unless Im offered a specific term like manhua vs manga or kdramas vs novelas its just easier.
@Nezchan yeah def. Like there's definitely space to work considering anti-blackness in Japan or exploration of the obsession with pale skin but trying to look at race outside of the US in the terms of American race relations just. Doesn't work. I cant tell u hard wierd it is to be considered mixed race in my fams home country but monorace (not mixed?) stateswise
@Nezchan like tbh I get the idea behind the post but also if u were really interested in anime trying to be diverse you'd look for representation of indigenous Japanese groups like the Ainu (so Samurai Champloo, Golden Kamui both try) instead of basically things on American race relations. Trying to force foreign media to adhere to very-American notifications of diversity is ironically kind of imperialist imo
@Nezchan I'm so tired and yeah the post wad complaining that poc were nonexistent in anime so they made a list of black characters which like cool but that's the worst attempt at being woke ive seen in a while
@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
