I think while leftist nonsense on the western side of things (subtitles, localization, inserting leftist terms) always leaks in, what keeps manga/Anime from turning into what Comics & Hollywood have is how different Japanese culture is from western culture. Japan isnt a melting pot like America is. The only way I see wokeness making substantial headway is if sony or Netflix start buying japanese Animation studios & production companies.

This is like, my third time trying to make this less of a tl;dr to read, lol

I'll try to sum it up, but I'm not going to lie: the USA has a shit ton of baggage regarding it, sequential art/comics/animation, and for what it's worth, Japan as a whole. It's not the kind of thing anyone can just come into the room and just outright ignore before getting mauled and devoured by it. If there's anything I can say that has any lasting effect we can see today, it's the fact that nearly all Americans have their narrative run by the idea that "World War II Is A Creation Myth For The Modern Day" (I believe in this a lot really, people will never admit to it but the subconscious is a very powerful thing), and that this has now run its course to where everything is where it is today. Tojo and the Imperial Japanese are Gog and Magog or something to modern Americans, honestly, and no matter how much one denies it, it's true. This makes anything Japanese to them anathema of a topic to bring up.

The other problem is Blackrock. I was there in Florida before they pulled that real estate scam that fucked the country over. Fuck those guys. They're probably laughing at us, but they've long gatekept financial and economic profiles to where they can manipulate the media into doing anything they want them to do. They know anime is a large wakizashi wielded by Otoya Yamaguchi sized thorn in their abdomen. Robber barons turned those who claim to do things for our own good. How ironic of them to merge into one entity.

Plus, you're not wrong saying leftists are responsible for this shit. While morality in media squads were the loudest back in the 80s and 90s, Hollywood was scaring itself shitless over new forms of entertainment popping up all over when their revenues were going down because they pushed out too much droll "mature" entertainment shit on their end. They then tried to get Congress to ban video games with the "think of the children" angle as well. Though if you ask me, this problem lies with about anyone who was a shithead regarding this regardless of political wankery. The tradition of quashing the arts and creative minds for a penny or for voters is definitely an American problem.

Censorship in Bleach isn't new.

I remember back in the Fullbring arc, Ichigo had a weapon that resembled a swastika, which in reality was a Japanese Kanji character.

In the anime it was censored to appear like crosses.

If I remember, they just added another metal square frame around the bends to instead make it look more abstract.

Is there any news on if anyone is taking Farah to court? Hasn't she crossed the line too many times? She's even resorted to calling people. I know she's been calling Squally and also harassing her in other ways.

She has a YT channel predictably named FarahFatherless, a tiktok acct. titled Fatherlesscosplay, along with other alt accounts labeled "fatherless". Finally, the schizo-skank is stealthing on X as as a Yae Miko/Pink-haired AI anime girl.

There’s some people the world don’t deserve, even if they deserve the world. Everything I’ve seen of him, I think Vic is one of those people.

I’ll never forget him almost breaking down in the testimony when they asked him what it meant to him to portray all those beloved characters over the years.
“It was a privilege”
He said it as he tried to hold back tears. Shit makes a shiver run down my spine before my blood starts to boil.
What makes it worse is he was so happy about the new Broly that had an actual compelling backstory. He was so excited to play this new Broly. All the bullshit happened because he was the main character of the biggest anime movie ever at that point in time.

Sabat and Monica and the rest HAVE to get their comeuppance some day.

What’s the most iconic thing they’ve done in their anime careers? I think at least Monica hasn’t done anything that’s had the lasting power of something like the One Piece Rap.

That’s enough for me to take solace in.

But do those roles have/had a legacy/impact on anime fans to rival those of Vic as Edward Elric?
Click to expand...
In a sense, Chris' portrayal of Vegeta and Piccolo do rival Vic as Edward, like it or not. Some people may go to Scott McNeil and Brian Drummond instead, as it legit does depend on what dub you grew up with, but you're more likely to come across someone who thinks of Chris' portrayal first due to the wide distribution of FUNimation's dub. It's for the same reason a lot of people think of Veronica Taylor as Ash Ketchum, Dan Green as Yugi Moto, and Johnny Yong Bosch as Vash, Ichigo and Lelouch, for example.

Chris Sabat is an asshole, but he's here to stay and his voice will continue to be heard in a lot of older mainstream dubs. Probably more-so than Vic and Monica combined tbh. Vic, in the meantime, will live on in the hearts of fangirls (and Broly fanboys) the world over simply because of how popular Fullmetal Alchemist is and how often people refer to the dub over the sub. That's something that just cannot be taken away from the English anime zeitgeist no matter how hard they'll try.

I couldn't help smiling when I saw this, was surprised he mentioned Chris and Monica. Those snakes don't deserve this man's kindness.

Who's to say they aren't getting it RIGHT now. Funimation is more or less gone, voice acting for Monica seems to grown stale for the moment and she's staying with SoyeBoye, and I have a feeling that there's some whispers going on Sabat.

Don't mind me. Just huffing on Copium.
