You ignore Japanese opinions, Japanese LGBT issues, everything is seen through and evaluated based on Western ideas. That's the issue. You could learn about LGBT issues and Japan and address them or you could simply say they must conform to Western standards because those are the right ones, ignoring that those same standards perpetuated decades of LGBT erasure. That's the point. Everything is evaluated in a vacuum based on current Western standards. No one cares about what is or isn't acceptable in Japan. That's why this 180 occurred, because there was never a time when anyone actually cared about LGBT characters or representation in Japan. They only ever cared about how the West would perceive it. It's a very shortsighted and culture specific outlook. Rather than evaluating how Japanese represent LGBT, the issues with that, the issues the Japanese LGBT community faces or anything approaching nuance, it's just here is my current Western opinion and they should conform to it. Are you going to cite examples of the critiques/commentary of the native market, or are you going to just continue to repeat the orientation speech my Anthropology 101 teacher gave us? >_> --- https://imgur.com/mptS9Qj I stan Kayako Saeki <cite>AlisLandale posted [p:942556282] in Think Pers...
