Can someone explain the increase in cross-dressing in anime the last 6 years?Saw it happen yet again in>[DKB] Kanteishi (Kari) - S01E05 [1080p][HEVC x265 10bit][Multi-Subs][6C3992E0]I've been watching anime over 25 years and yeah it happened before but I've noticed them sneaking it into series here and there where it's really out of place, like a 4 second clip of the main character wearing a dress ("I remember my mom used to dress me like a girl when I was younger") and then they never touch on that subject again. In pic related he dresses up as a girl for no reason just to "set a trap" for some thief, as if that couldn't be done without crossdressing.Is there any explanation other than Japan just being gayer this days? Is it to collect American DEI money to normalize being trans in Japan?
You're a retard.
25 years and you're still a total casual
I've spent my 26th year on this earth constantly wishing i was a girl
>>287740042Subtle anti-tranny tactic. By reminding them they're cleverly dressed as woman instead of being woman it brings them back to reality.
>>287740337If they had drawn them as a male to make a point of it but they always draw them female.This episode even remarked on how good he looked. It sounded like the voice actress switched over to sounding more feminine as well (his voice is by a woman).https://myanimelist.net/character/281371/Hibiki_Manabe>>287740268I was probably expecting too much looking for an answer here.
What's with increase of these kinds of posts that seem like people only started watching anime today.
>>287740042>Is there any explanation other than Japan just being gayer this days? Is it to collect American DEI money to normalize being trans in Japan?Crossdressing has been an important part of Japanese culture since at least 1629, you're just an underage newfag. Stop believing everything /pol/ tells you.
>>287740042I highly doubt someone who's been watching anime for 25 years would think [DKB]'s releases are worth watching, go larp somewhere else kid.
>>287741262In case you haven't already noticed, a shit ton of retards that wouldn't have been tolerated just 10 years ago poured in.
>>287741332When you've not deleted any episodes for 25 years you find value in filesizes that aren't too bloated.
>>287740042>Japan just being gayer this days?Japan is a lot less gay than it used to be, anon.Japan becoming less gay is largely a consequence losing WW2.
>>287742033in opposite world!
>>287740042>increaseYeah, trap characters are totally new.
>>287740042Watch more anime
>>287742610No, it was mainly the impact of American cultural conservatism that led to Japan becoming less gay.Remember, Asia doesn't really have Abrahamitic faiths, outside of Indonesia and Malaysia.
>>287743412gay marriage isn't even legal in japan...
>>287740042holy casual
>>287740042Weak men create hard times
>>287740042Yep, seems like there's a definite increase. There have always been such shows because Japan is naturally more fruity than the West, but now the trannies have created a lot of demand for this kind of thing, so as usual the Western market is ruining anime.
>>287745393>gets btfo>*samefag copes* >i-it totally increased this year that trap from 80-90's is definitely an exception hahaI saw it coming 1000 miles away
>>287745718wish there was a way to embarrass you with your wrong samefag guess
>>287743679Yes, but when was modern Japan with its modern legal codes founded?Depending on who you ask, either 1890 or 1947.
>>287740042>last 6 yearsDid you only start watching anime 6 years ago? Cross-dressing and genderbending has always been a thing in anime and manga.
Can someone explain why OP has been a faggot for the past 23 years?
>>287740042The guy who runs the scripts for [DKB] is a 70 year old pedophile.
