What happened to the posters here? I feel like an ass for being the only one posting.
I thought this was funny:
The story’s twist exposes the ugly side of the manga and anime
www.polygon.com
Polygon accuses Titan of having fascist and antisemitic undertones (the crazier thing is that many of the comments seem to be nodding in agreement).
The uniforms "have a very fascist uniform sensibility” and "then there’s the Eldians living in ghettos, wearing star-embroidered armbands.”
I don't even consider myself a diehard fan, but I know enough about the story to know how dishonest this is. Nowhere are the military as a whole the good guys.. The Scouts are, but they're treated like misfits. Especially the younger group with Eren and Mikasa. How could you see this show as anything but that?! Even stranger for it come out right as this last episode did - where the Eldians are clearly shown in a sympathetic light. Just because they wear badges on their arms doesn't mean it's antisemitic. You're clearly supposed to feel sorry for them. Since when did simply presenting something mean it had ulterior/nefarious purpose?
I'm going to try not to bring politics too much into this, but if you don't take think that the (Western) media hasn't gone mad, then you're living under a rock. These people get outraged/triggered by anything it seems.
Anyways, now watching Occultic;Nine. This will be the latest of the Science shows, I guess... although it's apparently only loosely tied to the setting.
