I think he just has sort of a hierarchy of hate so to speak. He hates anime because it isn't from the west, but he hates Matt Walsh ten times more. He didn't start selectively defending anime until Walsh had those cringe rants about how it's all satanic filth. I think it was more important to him he have something to disagree with Walsh on than keep wholesale shitting on anime. Generally criticism of anime by nature has to be really shallow, it's almost always followed by "I would never watch that filth." they saw a few clips from terrible series or hentai and just assumed that must be what it's all like.
It just feels like the dude is just making shit up as he goes. The man is not consistent. I mean, if he was consistent, he'd hate capeshit more than anime because it's plagiarism central. He'd hate Michael Moorcock more than Alan Moore because Alan Moore wants to protect the freedom of speech of comic artists, while Moorcock wants to censor books that offend sex-negative feminism. And given his hate of anime, he'd agree with Walsh, but just say that it's just cringe, not evil. Or, if Razor were to go full "we have to unite against the woke" mode, he'd make amends with the weebs and congratulate the anime industry for making it big despite giving the woke the middle finger.
But it's not all one genre or style so it's patently ignorant to criticize it like that. It's like seeing clips from Pink Flamingoes or Bros or any other gay themed film and just asserting all film is gay and only faggots watch movies. Anime is like any medium. There are good series and bad series. Some espouse very left-wing ideals, some very right-wing ideals. Many because it's Japan and the culture's so different simultaneously espouse both. A lot are very nuanced and strangely realistic. Like there may be a gay or trans character, but they're both portrayed positively and mocked a childish and hideously ugly. Yes, there are some pedo anime series, and of course those are shit, but then there are plenty of others that mock or criticize pedos.
Heck, if I were Razor, I'd love the hell out of the Mobile Suit Gundam series. A series where the fucking capitalists save the day. Literally, it's the innovators and capitalists who save the world from fascism. From Tem Ray developing the Gundam and giving the Federation a fighting chance against the Space Fascists of Zeon, to Anaheim Electronics developing the Zeta Gundam and giving it to AEUG to fight the fascist Titans, it's a series that shows the evils of big government and the benefits of a capitalist system, where the capitalists and the innovators arm the heroes with superior technology and firepower which allows them to defeat the bad guys. Hell, the word "Gundam" is a mix of the words "gun" and "freedom", and given how Razorfist professes to love both, well, it'd be a match made in Heaven if he fell in love with MSG.
Considering that Razor claims to be a Star Wars fan, and the fact that the Gundam is essentially a giant robot Stormtrooper with a Lightsaber and a Force-sensitive Newtype pilot (literally, they called the original Gundam the "white mobile suit" because it was originally fully white, since its original inspiration was the white Stormtrooper armor from Star Wars), he should love the shit out of Gundam, especially given how some of the OVAs set in the Universal Century, from Stardust Memory, 08th MS Team, and War in the Pocket are truly some of anime's best arguments for being a professional art form.
But no, I've never even heard this pasty Japanophobe even mention Gundam. Has anyone here ever heard him mention it?
With Raz0r specifically a lot of it feels like he's just retroactively justifying his own decisions or pointlessly hating on things there's no logical reason to. I remember during one stream he got into an argument with Terran because Terran said the 90's was a great decade and Raz0r insisted very aggressively "The 90's was just ripping off the 80's." and refused to hear that anything good came out of the 90's. There was a dead silence where you could tell Terran wanted to argue the point, but knew massa would get angry if he expressed independent thought.
The 90s gave us:
-A shit ton of DnD-style CRPGs.
-Thief: The Dark Project, which Razor regards as one of the best video games of all time.
-The Thrawn Trilogy and Dark Empire, as well as Tales of the Jedi, the foundational works of the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
-The seeds of what would become the DCAU, also known as one of the best versions of the DC mythos.
-Good Marvel cartoons for Spider-Man and the X-Men.
-The golden age of spirte-based video games in the form of Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis competing for the fans' love.
-N64, PS1, and Sega Saturn bringing 3D-graphics for video game console home use.
-The RTS boom which included Age of Empires, Star Wars Rebellion/Supremacy, Starcraft, Total War, and Command & Conquer.
-And since Razorfist is a SW Prequel-lover, The Phantom Menace.
Literally, the 90s was one of the best decade for nerds, surpassed only by the 2000s and the early 2010s before the SJWs barged in and stank up the place. Razorfist hating on the 90s goes to show me that his nerd credentials are bullshit.
Or the way he is with N64 and XBox, simply because he didn't have one he asserts the PS and PS2 did not have good libraries, and it's like bro how would you know you just actively said you didn't play it. That one kind of personally irks me because I collect video games, and there's a wall in my house that's just endless shelves of games, and around 500 of those games are from PS and PS2, I've always lamented that in the gens since the subsequent consoles rarely had as many releases that interested me. There's *still* around another fifty or so games on those consoles I'd like to own. Every time I hear him shitting on the PS and PS2's library my eyes involuntarily roll towards the direction of the wall with all the games on it. Now while I liked the N64 as a console, for him to pretend that has a better library than either PS console is patently absurd. It's the one console Nintendo deemed didn't have enough games to sell a mini console of.
Dude just can't admit that Sony was successful in doing what was right during those days. I was, and still am, a Nintendo fan with some shades of Xbox fandom, but even I've got to admit that the PS1 and PS2 had some great games, some of which I personally enjoyed with my friends.
