>>43045There's no blackpill. I'm a bleeding heart, a lover of my interests, just as you and anyone else. Why the misanthropy? I love Japan too.
What differentiates us is the fact that I've lived there, indeed live here presently, Fukuoka prefecture, and have been in and off the country at large for over 7 years now, giving me an understanding of the approaching event horizon.
The sustainment of its culture and its foundation rests on an establishment too thoroughly intertwined with the support of its aging male population; those old men whose youth has been exhausted, whose predilections are, by and large, globally looked upon with reproach, whose communal support of and with one another is dependent on a network accessible only to them, and whose time has past. Once they're cut, it's game over.
You think Nagaru Tanigawa's gonna finish Haruhi? or Nasu will be ready to create something else for Type Moon? or 47 year old ZUN the likes of which speaks about Touhou's end. Really? These men with families entering their 50s or 60s have had enough, and their protégé are soon following, retiring to a halcyon life as their country spins a new tale. Who even buys anything except for those old men, of clear heart, wanting for more so they refrain from pirating.
Z-kun doesn't care for that, in all parts of the world.
Just as Takao Saito died, Akira Toriyama died, Kentaro Miura died, the remaining old guard will collapse, and thereafter nothing similar shall beget, for today's stage is a globalist type, and none no longer possess the steely mind necessary to resist its flare as they chase for money unavailable in their shamble of an economy.
Passion is dead, Z-kun exhibiting it still lesser somehow.
That's why high school settings are being banned. That's why 'underage' depictions are being annihilated. That's why anything libertine is being equated to things licentious and grossly perverted. That's why gore is rampant, because it's better to show a man being shot sixty times than seeing a flash of panties.
I always feel a stab of guilt when I read a JP comment and they complaining that creators they've always been following have begun lessening the intensity of their content to appear agreeable in western -in your- eyes, and express a powerless dismay against this. Just a mellow feeling
"It can't be helped."
That's the motto of today, no matter what you think, and what will increasingly be adopted, until Japanese entertainment is altogether at last incinerated as the whole country becomes the vassal of an Indian empire.
And that's fine, because it's not a problem for you or interested fans or anyone, because it'll create a new brave world of entertainment. You've got a digital archive of media lasting 20 and more years. The plague to come will only palpably affect the unfortunate Japanese child born in today's world of dismay where if anyway he escapes and escapes it, he'll find himself in the end, at home, glued to a smartphone scrolling over asinine comments bashing him.
Z-kun loves social media, and social media loves him too, thus they'll penetrate his brain with the blade of ideology and ensure his creative endeavors in the future will be marketing safe.
I support his using the internet more frequently, and English should be enforced all the more so in Japan. I likewise support foreigners coming in too, from all wake of the world, whether Africa, America, China or Europe. The sooner this all accelerates, the better.
The minute credit processors started kicking up a fuss, it was done.
Feminists might've been poisoning things slowly, the depressed Z-kun in his apathy might've rendered obsolete his desire to do anything, foreigners might've been molesting everyone, but worse than all are depriving the existing few financially from being able to do what they want.
