Princess Mononoke

It's really not about media literacy. The right doesn't care about truth or consistency, their interpretation of things is purely Id based, if they like a thing they just force a interpretation that aligns with their value, they likely know it's bullshit but whatever, makes their pee pee feel good. If a Nazi liked fucking Battleship Potemkin they'd mental gymnastics an interpretation that aligned with their beliefs. It doesn't matter how blatantly left you make the message in a piece of media, CHUDs will find a justification for liking it.

It's accurate in a way. The only high quality conservative media is leftist media that conservatives don't understand.

This is just every well known anime

Black Lagoon

Japanese pencil pusher gets hijacked by pirates

realizes his company doesn’t give a shit about his safety

defects to the pirates’ side

commits international crimes with a female Chinese mobster (and her big boobed catholic nun friend), a black soldier, and a Jewish hacker

conservative media

You can’t make Black Lagoon today because FVW (family value warriors) snowflakes would call it woke, pandering, and forced diversity.

I like Jojo, but in the rare instances where it really offers political messaging it's basically libertarian bullshit (see the end of Stone Ocean episode 27, where Araki takes a strong stand against motorcycle helmet laws on existential grounds for some reason)

The main thing I like about Jojo is its derangement, so this doesn't bother me too much

every popular anime ever created since 1980 is conservative

This can't be anything more than bait to drive engagement.

This is just the most popular anime of the last 30 years.

I can't even understand how anyone could even misinterpret Princess Mononoke as conservative. It's not fucking subtle.

What the fuck is conservative about a show about an elf who outlives her friends and kinda has a midlife crisis about that before going on an adventure to get to know them and other people better

Ok I think I mostly get it, this person used exactly 5 criteria to make his picks:

#1 "I judge a book by its cover", this includes almost certainly not watching even a single episode.

Spy x Family, GnP, JoJo, Sailor Moon, Black lagoon, Tanya, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Gundam

#2 "I watched exactly 1 episode to be sure and yep this ain't woke"

Jormungand, Cowboy Bebop, Kill la Kill.

#3 "My 4chan friends like this thefore its probably ok I guess"

Bochi , Lucky Star, Azumanga, Konosuba, Princess Mononoke, One Piece, CSM, Ghost in the Shell

Also he probably heard those weebs refer to "Fate", FATE, FAAATTTEEEE so much that so he googled exactly the first result which is the original game art, good job lazy ass mfer.

#4 "This sounds anti-woke enough right? Sounds good to me" literaly same as cover but mfer read the title literally

Hellsing, Spy x Family, Angel Cop, Gunsmith Cat

#5 "My cousin was watching this 15 years ago, guess it ain't woke then it ain't woke now"

Bleach, DBZ, Monster, K-on, Eva,

No attack on titan?

Hey, all of my favorite ani- oh

Not gonna blame them for princess mononononoke though; she's simply a forestcore wolfgrind sigma tradwife who's been greenpilled and is actively rejecting the woke metalist agenda and their soy anti-tree narrative.

You're sure this isn't agitprop? Back in 2015 I was trying to spread a Reading with Hillary image that included Zinn, Loewen, and Thomas Frank on it mixed with a couple of Lib books.

Sailor Moon makes sense. After all, It's just a bunch of cousins with the hots for each other.

Jesus Christ, they included One Piece.

obviously all anime is communist

Halo, conservative? The entire overreaching narrative in the game's campaign is a critique on post 9/11 USA.

Tbh I am always a little jealous of the ability these people have of seeing only what they want to see in media. Suddenly everything cool is on your side, what a treat!

Then I remind myself of how awful it would be to be ultimately closed off to art like that. Imagine the membrane between yourself and the minds of others being truly impermeable, like some kind of artistic agoraphobia. Horrible

JoJo’s, that famous conservative work where an American president is a major villain of one part

Lol, they go off pure vibes and no self reflection, that's all this is.

Lucky Star is my favorite Thatcherite japanese children's cartoon.

The only right-wing ones are the girl group animes, for obvious reasons

Also Neon Genesis Evangelion seems to be watched by a lot of reactionaries (I've never seen it)

Shout out to Konosuba and Kiki which are conservative-core because money is a part of the narrative

One Piece is, of course, funny

DBZ, and the other 2 of the big 3 are on there but no Naruto/Boruto and it makes me wonder what Naruto did to upset them.

Shaming people without internal dialogue is ableism.

Shaming conservatives is good.

I don't think this is meant to be taken seriously.

With Fate/Stay Night I don't see how you could interpret any political ideology into it tbh

These are a lot of good anime wtf

At first glance, only Monster makes sense. It is basically what if Charles Manson was a soviet thing with European characteristics. Although, it been awhile since I watch and read it.

Gundam makes sense if you're pro federation/cop and take in face value in the movie(not in the pic) Amuro when he talks shit about revolutionaries doing nothing, but literally on the thing that can change the tractory of history and stops it.

Do you think internal dialogue is necessary for introspective thought
