The aliens in Drama Queen aren't immigrants, they are colonizers. They are the real life equivalent of white people.

Now remind me how AoT ended. It's a very bad omen for any series if the readers are invoking it.

Shit is getting axed, sales are low. Racists don't make good customers, never worth it to pander to right wing parasites.

This is just showing the only thing you can do against a race superior to yours—play the moralfag card. Cry and piss yourself until they feel guilty. Works in real life too.
>>
>>285600271
It's assumed that this happened after the huge backlash in chapter one, If you look at how Nomamoto's character changes from MC to completely unrelatable, it's pretty evident.

>>285600327
I know you're just parroting the meme argument, I think it's worth asserting that they're meant to be both, Japan is Xenophobic, not racist. All foreigners are foreign, hence you can have the "invasion" angle and the "degenerate culture hip hop/ baby mamas", "forced diversity", "miscegenation" stuff that you see hinted at now and then
>>
>>285600250
Attempting to play the "We're the same" angle is the lamest way this story could've gone. Hopefully eyepatch guy will find a way to make this interesting, but I've lost all my investment in Kitami. If he was gonna get suicidal, the least he could do is kill Lily first and then himself instead of going full little bitch.
>>
>>285600537
If Japan is xenophobic where did the huge backlash come from
>>
>>285601049
That's the weird part. Like why is he letting Lily live?
It's like he concluded everyone in this conflict is bad, but only the humans should die for it?
I don't get his logic.
>>
>>285600250
How much does burgerland politics affect manga?
Because Kitami bending the knee and cucking so suddenly, right when retards in the states are proudly getting themselves killed to defend foreign scammers seems like a hell of a coincidence.
>>
>>285601174
So state politics affects manga but federal doesn't?
>>
>>285601174
the unmedicated schizoid noooticing le patterns everywhere

>>285601071
It was hugely controversial on social media at the time heaps of foreigners were complaining, I don't know the extent of it, but if it can occur anywhere in the west, I don't think Japan is somehow immune to this (In the west it usually goes local complaint -> watchdog like ADL/SPLC -> Media -> Legal complaint -> Banks side against you).

Damn, Sorachi was cucked all along?

In contrast, searching for in japanese only resulted in blogs about "the much criticized manga"

To quote one of the TL'd articles
>The main reason for this turmoil is the quarrels between those who criticize the content as racist towards immigrants and those who disagree.
>Below are some of the comments.


>>There are a lot of comments from people who seem to like self-help books lol
>>Capitalism is generally to blame. Capitalism robs workers of material and spiritual wealth.
>>Many people can't read statements like "These feelings are not right" or "I'm scared of myself for not feeling guilty" Or do they want fictional characters to be pure and innocent?
>>I think the people who are attacking this manga as "discriminatory" are the ones who are far more discriminatory.
>>If you replace alien hate with human beings, it's horrifying. Is it okay or not to hate aliens?
>>For those who want to believe that manga, entertainment, and popular culture like this have nothing to do with politics, I recommend the academic field of cultural studies.
>>This is what's happening in the world right now
>>If something overlaps with these obviously malicious aliens, then I guess there must be something about that something I think about. I guess I'm a politician.

>It also seems to be a riot overseas.
And here he links that youtuber chibi reviews covering it (I won't bother)
>>
>>285601425
It's never asserted that the aliens belong on earth, or that they have an equal claim to it as humans. At some point, Soreachi even stopped drawing aliens in the city for the most part (aside from mainstays like Prince Hatano). The mangaka doubled back from being racist too hard, and the end result is an unpleasant work. If you have nothing valuable to say, you should probably just avoid these issues.
>>
>>285600271
if it's editor meddling why didn't the author just sabotage the manga to get it axed
>>
>>285601591
>The mangaka (of DQ I mean) doubled back
>>
>>285601621
Getting a manga published is hard in the first place, what kind of newcomer would try rock the boat?
>>
>>285601591
I'm just asking questions
>>
>>285601656
A newcomer with strong principles. The kind we need to teach people about wonders of racism.
>>
>>285600250
Why is his mouth taped shut?
>>
>>285603437
He just got off America's Got Talent
>>
>>285600250
Nah, he just realized he is just a irredeemable piece of shit and deserves to die.
>>
How the fuck is this thread still up?
>>
>>285600357
Libtard alert
>>
>>285600250
Me: we are reaching one of the climax of the story, there're so much going on here.
American: racism, right wing bad
>>
>>285601071
Japan is but their media is just like it is everywhere else. Especially after all of the American investment.
