Why do Southeast Asians like Tokusatsu?
>>
Because it actually aired there for years.
>>
>>22623165
Cause god gave them souls.

>>22623177
Close the thread.

1. It's been airing for decades on a regular basis. So it's part of nerd culture in Asia.

2. It's grown big enough that there multiple generations of Kamen Riders and Toku. Started airing since the 1970s. So we have fathers, children, and grand children watching Toku.

3. Everyone loves transforming into a super hero

Southeast Asians have been into weeb shit for decades, along with several other parts of the worlds like some European and Latin American countries. Then Americans who didn't hear about anime until 1999 waltz in bitching about them as if America owns anime
>>
>>22623165
Kamen Riders and tokusatsu are the closest thing to capeshit for Asian. Chinese love Ultraman and Kamen Rider. SEA love KR and Sentai.
There is also the period where there was a mass market of crabstick tier VHS and later VCD/DVD of toku shows sold everywhere in the region at cheap pricing so it's not like only rich kids can watch it on cable or whatever.
>>
you know what's even better? they sell toys here.
>>22632519
that last sentence really is the one that gets me. you enjoy toku peacefully then suddenly you got people who just came to the scene thinking they own everything
>>22632610
not just toku but mecha shows too
>>
>>22628558
Imagine being white or jewish? God forbid american. Couldn't be me.

My question is why do they cause so many problems and act extremely cringe? I remember HJU had a lot of issues with cringy SEAs.

Yes Russia v Ukraine and the Gaza conflict are proxy wars setup by super important SEA nations.

Larping with guns is like larping with drills or pressure washers: They're just real life tools
Toku is soul and art made to make people happy

That's pussy reddit shit. Media like toku and anime is made to inspire people. Fuck this faggot ass bullshit of "relax, just enjoy the escapism."
Fuck that, that always sounds cowardly and soulless.

Honestly after what he's done, how the fuck does this dude still have any fans left? He might not be Takasugi, but he's pretty damn close.
>>
>>22640937
Not even close. It's the typical right wing leaning black pilled tradwife conservatives types that think like you do. Not everyone is a soulless doomer pilled nihilist's. This is not a only children are this and adults are that angle. Unless you hate nuance and is ultimately hypocritically the very thing you shove into a bubble.

They're literally superheroes, that IS "capeshit", and has the long running neverending iterations that comic book heroes are known for

I mean my point is that he is mostly hated by his actual (former) fans. I doubt americans care much about him or his history.

I honestly think in SEA countries, the "normal" hobbyists (people with "nerdy" interests in general) either stick to their own communities (and/or stuff like private Facebook groups) or don't do much on the internet - the ones we get on English-speaking parts of the internet are basically their reject nutjobs that can't fit in and try to create over-the-top personas that fit their perceived idea of what people from Europe or America are like. Take Filipinos for example, it's pretty much guaranteed that male ones are like this weird borderline parody of a stereotypical 2005 imageboard poster who can never shut up about his loli collection and discourse that hasn't been relevant since 2014, and female ones try really hard to be like European feminists but don't really understand what the movement is about and mostly just whine about porn.

so, americans?

So accurate very with shit posters.

He just talked shit. That's not even close to be an actual criminal
>>
>>22648813
Kurata asked some fans on a livestream to donate him some money and later DM'ed them those who donated, begging to give him even more money. Nothing too bad or criminal as Takasugi did, but still, when fans and money begin to get involved, it just rubs me off the wrong way.

It's kinda true because the left wing trannoid emasculated numale cuckolds don't watch them at all because they're problematic.
>>
>>22654384
I forgot that some of these shit posters that's invaded /m/ are definitely of the left leaning variety. G witch brought in a lot of troglodyte keyboard tourists. Explains why there were a lot of anti gundam bait threads.
>>
Faggots like >>2264093
Hate anime. Its clear as day. I wish these gay non binary virtue signaling failed riajuu leave my hobbies alone & leave.
