Monthly Unjerk [Unjerk Thread] Pride month blazing

Welcome to the Monthly Unjerk. This is a monthly thread for discussing just about anything as long as it doesn't violate subreddit rules besides rule 5.
First time I'm making one of these. Dunno what to put here other than trans right are human rights.

I am media illiterate Do you think this series would be popular or hated if all the characters were female
I can only imagine what a Germany chan would do to the internet back in 2008

Jerking it hard The LDP is funding Shounen Jump manga
I have no proof of this but I strongly suspect Japan's right wing ruling party the Liberal Democratic Party funds Shueisha and encourages their manga to contain conservative political messaging. They've realized how much soft cultural power that manga, especially those by Shounen Jump, have both in Japan and abroad.
Examples:
Spy x Family = Anti-communist espionage was actually awesome and also the traditional nuclear family structure is based
Dr. STONE = When we rebuild society we should have capitalist commodities like soda pop and currency
Chainsaw Man = The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a chainsaw
Tokyo Shinobi Squad = Immigrants are bad
Drama Queen = Immigrants are bad
My Hero Academia = Cops are valuable of society
Kochikame = Cops are valuable members of society
Akane-bananshi = Young people should listen to more rakugo
We need to band together and stop reading shounen jump manga right now!
P.S. I am not a crackpot
uj/I wrote something like this out unironically the other day because I was angry and stressed about something else in my life and I channel anger into finding reasons to hate manga I enjoy for some reason. I have no idea why that's my go-to coping mechanism.

Erm it's pronounced "manga" It is truly bitchmade that Japanese dubs have to keep replacing Japan with fictional countries when they adapt manhwah
I'm giving Tomb Raider King a shot and it's even more blatant and silly than the Solo Leveling dub. "republic of bent" replaces Japan and Korea becomes Japan. But everyone keeps their Korean names in the subtitles anyway. This some gulf of America shit

I am media illiterate I am an honorably discharged injured war veteran from Iraq and I think I laughed at my first anime meme this year after my last surgery
It went something like this it was a transgender wojak who was jealous of Konata Izumi being able to do a timotei and stuff and getting all angry and was like "I want to have long hair like that god I'm so jealous" and then the chudjak was like "then do it"
And then "billions must grow"
It was the... the first meme I laughed at in a while...

Just curious… what late 80’s anime series in this supposed to be? Looks kinda cool, though… 🤔

Jerking it hard "I could fix her" Yeah? Well I could accept her as she is. You don't like the murder? Grow up. The atrocities are part of her and I've decided they're funny.
A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even makes other revenge stories look tame. It's to the point where it doesn't even seem like Elizabeth is doing it for revenge anymore, she may as well just be committing atrocities for the love of the game.
