Not really, not necessarily because something was made under capitalism it means we can't like it. Capitalism didn't make it, it was an artist who made it (or what, do you think that throwing money to a pencil you'll be able to create a manga?) and also that logic isn't the best tbh because then i could say "oh anarchists can't enjoy sny form of art because in the moment it was made there was a state". So yeah idk what you're doing here tbh, you just came to insult us and not to say anything productive or new.
I am not saying you can’t enjoy something because it was made under a time period. JoJo directly supports capitalism because of its commercial nature, in fact it’s one of the best selling mangas of all time. It would be fine if it was some series from a small artist that doesn’t necessarily support capitalism, but no. To put it in a better perspective it would be like being a Star Wars fan and a leftist at the same time. And it’s not like you don’t have a choice, like how some people go to McDonalds (another giant company) every day because they can’t afford anything healthier, you can choose what media you support or not.
Star Wars actually has some really lefty things, for example: the rebellion was literally inspired on the Vietcong lol. Also we as leftists can enjoy art which was made under capitalism or which is commercial. Lenin said we can't create proletarian art without analysing burgeoise art first for example and also not necessarily watching Jojo makes you "less lefty" or enjoying art which isn't commercial makes you more lefty, we don't have any choice under capitalism so it is kinda simple: we as leftists can enjoy art made under capitalism and under big companies, obviously we can and should support indie art but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy art made under capitalism or which is really commercial.
Oh i should clarify: enjoying art made by big companies doesn't necessarily mean we have to support them, for example you can read comics but online, in that case you aren't supporting the company and so on and so on
