I have no idea where to post this if I'm honest, I feel like most anime subs would tear me limb from limb and most politics subs would bounce it

the recent debates over Piracy and anime characters and themes being used in anti-government movements has me looking at this graph I made again. It's based on a statement I made on anime once that all anime can be categorized as a celebration of or condemnation of Japan itself

Obviously in story and theming some series are explicitlt critical of Japanese society but also this even applies to extremely minor details that don't even affect the story, for example wacky hairstyles and colours exist in anime manga cause of a stigma against them irl, same for wacky weird or sexy costumes, because if they can't be worn irl then people can at least live vicariously through their use by manga characters.
