Where in the fuck did Gachiakuta, of all things, get such a massive fanbase out of nowhere to the point they became problematic?

??? it got an adaptation and became popular, just like every other popular shonenshit

She could always ignore the asshats, but it takes conscious effort. Doesn't help Twitter pays you for political ragebait now.

Also implying this is divine punishment for having black characters is retarded. People tried to force the same "author is racist because..." drama with Dandadan, MHA, and other fanbases to limited success, it happens regardless. Go back to your culture war slop Youtube personality.

>Also implying this is divine punishment for having black characters is retarded.
That's not the point. It's divine punishment for catering to those types. Buying into the hype, pretending like social justice is at all the same as civil rights. That's what idiots who still think this is about justice get. It stopped being about justice and equality a long time ago. Now it's just about pettiness and vengeance.

How saying that makes any sense when the people attacking her are doing it because they don't think she is woke enough?

Hell she has been basically their punching bag since the start, with the "she in non binary" comments and then the "she supports piracy" which she had both to publicaly deny.

I was here since before it got an anime adaptation, the drama literally goes both ways. From the start /a/ was calling it woke and tried to cancel culture it every thread, if you were actually around for those threads.

If you're relishing in the author deleting her Twitter as some form of punishment in response, it's extremely likely you're deeply invested in the American culture war.

Horikoshi has a Twitter and he's fine. You just ignore the drama. If Urana couldn't keep herself off Twitter then it was a good decision to deactivate the account.

Gachi has a cast featuring several non-white/asian characters, is created by someone who has the appearance of someone you'd expect to be an "ally", and said someone was previously highly responsive on social media. It was quite literally prime bait for the progressive tourist fuckwads of the internet. The series isn't, of course, woke at all, nor is the author an "ally". The author's only mistake was taking these people seriously and letting them get to her, of course.
>>288340614
Kubo's height of popularity was also LONG before politically correct progressive nutjobs broke containment and fully infected every aspect of the consumption of otaku-centric mediums. If Bleach were releasing today you'd have the same weirdos this thread is talking about chimping out at Kubo for a million and one things.

It's not, Studio Bones is the new Toei.

I think it's fine, it's a Shintoist inspired thing and has narrative purpose.

Sort of, but it takes too long to get to that point.

it's her fault for engaging, there's hundreds, thousands of mangakas and animators on twitter that do not engage or give a fuck about what niggers blabber about and just post about how they went to a cat cafe or ate a fluffy pancake

Nah its definitely this series and maybe even modern writing in general. Its like it always tries to do something interesting and then bails on it at the last minute. Each and every time. Every scene, conflict, fight, hype(if you can call it that) is like this.

You know why. >>288340048
>>
>>288339817
the author is, on the surface, a massive westaboo dangerhair with a side cut who likes rap, graffiti and makes a manga that has this "fanarty" aesthetic to it. She's also unusually outspoken (and sometimes rude) for a japanese mangaka. Her acceptable grasp of english only makes things worse. They also used the anime to prop up that morbidly obese whore Demondice, so it brought in the vtuber audience as well. The thing is, dangerhair in Japan is mostly a style thing, real "dangerous" girls don't really have the dangerhair look to them.

>>288349897
>You have people who just post loli and shota to gatekeep but will also just disrupt actual discussions too

Killing the mentor character, hitting him with the out of character "save the world this is my final message", then replacing him with a very similarly characterized mentor all in the first two chapters was goofy.

I think she's right in that the first chapter needed to land a good first impression, but I don't think the story neatly followed up after that whole drama, immediately putting him in a taskforce that isn't obviously relevant to his goals.

If you're viewing it as woke then it's the same, just a different flavor. Instead of interacting with the story, you're interacting with political messages that just aren't there.

This has nothing to do with why the authored got burned. The mangaka tried to meddle with tranny culture, then backpeddled a bit by claiming the characters arent trans, and now the woke troons are harassing her, and all those who work with her.

Japanese mangaka who didnt fully understand the ramification of getting into western political talking points got burned. Thats the story
>>
>>288352203
>The mangaka tried to meddle with tranny culture
When did this even happen? I didn't browse her Twitter much but it was largely bog standard outside of a slight bit of edge towards annoying fans.
>>
>>288352258
She made a tranny looking character, and was using the woke pronouns. Then she said, the character isnt trans. Thats when trannies got extremely butthurt and harassed her for nearly a month straight, creating fake postings of her, harassed the graffiti artists she works with, Studio Bones had to step in and had it with the harassment campaign.

Its ugly as politics can be.
>>
>>288352313
And also, it escalated when other leftists joined in to harass her. Not just trannies but general lefitsts. There are plenty on videos tiktok/youtube/x/etc from these deranged people.
>>
>>288352258
The fanbase believed she was nonbinary at one point and people got mad that she was confused about that accusation
>>
>>288352313
>and was using the woke pronouns. Then she said, the character isnt trans
Ohhh... I can see why she made that mistake.
Where in Japanese there's built in roleplaying and women can use male pronouns and what not, she probably thought it was a 1:1 parallel completely unaware.

I miss when media was just media. Imagine EVA releasing today. All the "discussion" around it would be is

The solution is literally just to ignore it. By constantly engaging in the woke/antiwoke discourse you empower it. Look at the 10 years worth of this discourse and see how the people most invested in this space have produced fuck all of artistic value.

It is specifically by not giving a shit that it eventually dies. Not by campaigning that red is better than blue. They can both die in a ditch.
