Dude probably watched evangelion and code geass and thinks he's an anime conossieur
Stop gatekeeping people!
need pics to verify
DM
The medium is already looked down on by people and this dude is tryna make s*** worse gtfoh man
Pretty sure Jojo's creator is obsessed with western culture
He is a huge westaboo
A lot of mangaka are
Every sports manga references Black American athletes and fetishizes them
Meanwhile dudes complaining like this is new and only the west inputs its sensibilities onto a work
If anything censorship will ease up.
The nigga in OP is mad that literal pedophile s*** like Senran Kagura or Rapist s*** like Redo of Healer is being censored
What are you even talking about. They've BEEN DOING THIS
This is how we got Old Boy, that s*** isnt Korean or American and both vastly differ from the source material while being heavily influenced by their source culture.
The Tom Cruise flick Edge of Tomorrow, etc etc
This isnt inherently a negative.
And why are we putting anime on a pedestal
Anime and manga adapt western s*** all the time
Billy Bat is a Naoki Urusawa joint about Walt Disney and god metaphors.
Berserk is inspired by Hellraiser and
Yall need to stop being weird with this gatekeeping s*** lmao wtf.
This is called cultural diffusion and its how s*** like Beastars and Luminous even got anime
I didn't say anything about it being negative? S*** evolves and changes. It's life.
You choose anger in this situation
Gatekeeping anime is extremely corny. Been watching dubbed anime since I was a kid and started watching Japanese releases since like 2006 so I’ve seen how anime has grown and went from some corny nerdy s*** to something beloved by the mainstream
More fans of anime the better. Idc if they only watch DBZ and Attack on Titan. As long as they are supporting the industry in some form then that means more anime for me.
And who’s to say that someone doesn’t only watch the popular shonens today but will never branch out in the future? When I started watching anime all I watched was bleach and naruto. It took a long time for me to decide to watch monogatari or something like natsumes book of friends
I understand not wanting to engage in a deep discussion about anime if someone only watches one popular shonen. Obviously they just don’t much about anime as a complete genre. But to say they aren’t fans of anime is corny.
I’m fine with this. That way I can separate myself from the weirdos that dress up like schoolgirls to go to the mall

Ok fam but its confusing cuz niggas sound like theyre defending op.
But OP dude is a weirdo
And I understand what niggas mean by gatekeeping in this thread but its muddied by OP nigga just being a coomer weirdo.
But sorry I jumped the gun
Man putting ghost in the shell with the others is kinda funny lol I wish more people watched gits

All I care about is that people understand why gatekeeping exists, s*** didn't come from nowhere.
Things evolve and things change, as things gain momentum and new people come into a space that space ultimately changes. New people equates to more money and more influence, then an entire medium and producers can cape to new money and change (or potentially destroy a scene). As time progresses the originators of the scene either move on and splinter off to create their own new scene with a new set of values while preserving some of the old sensibilities while the old scene caters to new money or influence. S***'s been a thing for a minute.
Idk who the f*** OP is, nor do I care. It's that OP made a point and I'm trying to you know.. discuss the point.
Pretty sure Jojo's creator is obsessed with western culture
and fine art.
DBZ is Jordan
One Piece is Lebron
Naruto is Kobe
nahhhhh
One Piece is Jordan
If you've ever been on any anime forums, you're better off being a Normie than trying to fit in with a group of potential bitter losers and pedos.

F***ing clint eastwood helped created one of the goat anime characters of all time.

I lowkey dont engage in fandoms because most of them are corny.
I do understand gatekeeping in the context of discussions because no one wants clearly ignorant people going deep in a discussion.
The fandom s*** is corny. I dont need others to validate whether I like something.
So Im mostly here cuz of dude in OP being a known weirdo gatekeeping a whole medium cuz of coochie.
Anime gatekeeping is still weird just because its a medium that westerners primarily pirated until recently.
Like we dont all watch the same anime
But yeah I understand you. I dont think I would have cared if JJBA fandom got gatekept by OGs because people would say dumb s*** like read it out of order or read a part in half and then skip to another. Some s*** that only happened recently in the 27+ years of JJBA being a thing..
So yeah I can see situations where gatekeeping is reasonable but honestly its a bit childish.
Instead of gatekeeping them from a fandom just tell them to stop ruining a conversation. I feel like thats more sensible then making arbitrary fandom barriers
How is anime not a hobby
Because it’s just watching an animated show. Watching tv is not a hobby, it’s literally just watching tv
Anime is a medium. Watching anime or reading manga is a hobby (not necessarily mine mind you, I only watch one anime and binge-read a few manga once or twice a year, but the point still stands).
Actually stand corrected after this take. But that said, unless you’re Japanese, stop trying to gatekeep or police something that you didn’t create. That’s the equivalent of a white person gatekeeping hip hop
Because it’s just watching an animated show. Watching tv is not a hobby, it’s literally just watching tv
It is a hobby. A hobby is anything you enjoy doing in your free time

You're right about the black athletes part:
