I was boredly looking around YouTube on this Sunday morning and in the mood to watch some bozo talk about anime, maybe get some insights, discover some obscure hidden gem and the like.

However, I found it surprisingly hard to find quality in that scene, beyond niche video-makers like Kenny Lauerdale. Thus I was wondering if you have any recommendations of some people you like making videos about anime.

    Yeah and that’s ok. It’s the framework and everything around it that is sus. Ranging from the idyllic towns and villages that basically all look like Hitler paintings, to the obvious depiction of women in the show (other than the elf) as tradwives, not to mention the obvious “we must perform genocide” aspect of the goblin menace. Yes the goblin menace might actually be evil but that doesn’t mean it’s not a standin for a certain message, which becomes clearer when you take into account the artistic elements. All the features of fashy shit are there and ooooooo boy does its community and “fanart” audience love SA.

              here’s some great anime that neither enjoy sexual violence nor fascism. there’s plenty more out there, sex pest stuff is hardly “every classic anime”. some of these may have some in it but they certainly aren’t enjoying it

              • revolutionary girl utena
              • serial experiments lain
              • turn a gundam
              • millennium actress
              • showa genroku rakugo shinju
              • inu-oh
              • madoka magica
              • keep your hands off eizouken
              • liz and the blue bird

              also it’s real fucking gross to say “a poor taste joke is exactly the same as on screen sexual assault with deeply fash vibes” there’s a big difference between urusei yatsura and goblin slayer
