    Kris Wu just got canceled just because a random person with a verified account accused him of sexual harassment in China.

    Innocent until proven guilty does not apply on the internet.

    So yes, all your fears can come true.

    Then again it already happened. A Japanese author said some racist things on Twitter and lost his light novel publishing deal.

    What he said was pretty vile though.

    But you have to wonder, what if an innocent person gets their Twitter hacked and racist things are posted and they get canceled?

    Ah I saw that news, he was accused by other 20 women for alleged assault and people kept saying the police have proofs
    I really want to know what proofs there are since there are females who wanted to use celeb for more attention and play victim.

    Well, if he said extremely racist things, he deserved it
    Korean and Chinese are using whitewashing (to be pure and good) and blackening (to be evil), so I thought they might use their useless nose to smell "racist" things like this on Twitter and Tiktok and summon the entire duck troops to quack quack cancel quack

    YouTube is also slowly becoming their nest, say Asian beauty standard is fair skin and they call me anti-black :blobcat_hyper:

    The skin bleaching is dangerous but people just look for an excuse to hate.

    Even if you don't say that, they will look for something.

    I pointed how South Korea's female President got 20+ years in prison for corruption but a man who raped a little girl got 10 years.

    I got attacked.

    They claim to be SJW but probably hate more than known hate groups and are just as racist and sexist

    IIRC, I've also seen the more racist remarks w/ nationalism in CN/Ms. Japanese has more subtle racism of low expectations w/ nationalism. CN/Ms are just more balant. But cancel-culture is more apt to go after KN/M and JN/Ms. They're working their way on JN/M and JP artists. So far, Korea-related things are safe from it due to how crazy stans are and Chinese media is appt to get you brigaded so hard, your head will spin. So, just look for who is the one least likely to fight back. Which would be the JP scene.

    In this case, the genders aren't the main point. Corruption and tax fraud will get you jailed for longer than murder. The government is dead serious about their money. And laws protecting children from harm, and their enforcement are laughably bad, even in Western countries. The cherry on top is when in some countries, the rapist's punishment from the court is to marry his rape victim, like taking responsibility. I mean, what do they expect will happen? Won't men just pick a girl they like, rape her and marry her then? Of course, the girl in question killed herself, cause who in their right mind would want to marry their nightmare. Men, judges, don't seem to realize rape is not just sex, some in and out, nothing of substance lost, to women and girls. That's why they give a few months to a couple of years served in prison. At least child molesters get theirs in due time. I mean, okay, you don't need to kill rapists, but at least cut their dick off. They're doing nothing of substance with it anyway. :blob_thor:

    I remember that case. It made headlines in conservative media because, ye' know, reactionary; though it was a clear-cut case of SJWs lack of nuance. A lot of SJWs are often just American imperialists. "Because you used a word that sounds very close to this other word in our language, you are Hitler himself." I get why they got upset, but the very inability to seperate ones culture from another, forcing the foreign culture to bend to theirs, just racism of another level.

    Slightly oot,
    Some people are already attacking JP manga publishers because they are getting a lot of attention right now.
    Manga sales have surpassed DC and Marvel comics in the US.
    And US readers (twitter sjws) are starting to ask Manga publishers to bend to their will. They almost did, but
    Manga writers/some publishers fought back:

    Korean Presidents are all corrupt. It's how it works but most importantly they get pardoned.
    She didn't.
    She was essentially blamed for everything including it raining too heavily

    The gender wasn't my point but you made it.
    The judges are male, so they don't see it as a big deal.

    There was a sick law in Korean that was changed last year :

    If a man kidnaps and rapes a female it is not rape if she gets compensation eg food.

    It becomes prostitution or something.

    Marrying rape victims reminded me of this crap

    Undercover With The Clerics - Iraq's Secret Sex Trade
    Clerics in Iraq are selling young girls for sex, a BBC investigation has found. Some Shia clerics are using a practice called 'pleasure marriage' to groom vulnerable girls and young women and pimp them out.
    Young girls who ran away from home and "married" unaware the marriage will last a few days.

    Some as young as 12

    There are also bride kidnappings culture somewhere
    Imagine you're just chilling and some random dude grabbed you into a car for marriage, I guess that's when being pretty is troublesome

    Oh yeah, I also saw that, also saw some videos the Westerners crying about "young girls" in anime

    Funny how they call "I'm not Starfire" as a manga killer, isn't it like facing godzilla and sending a chihuahua to fight it? :blobsmilehappyeyes::blobsmilehappyeyes:

    It's kind of fortunate that it's only Japan for now and they're fighting back, imagine if they also attacked Korea and China for having their own slangs. They will probably only see the "blackening", "black powder fans", and "whitewashing" but won't discuss how yellow book (黄书) is pornographic book:blobsmilehappyeyes:

    Since they can get unreasonable with Chinese words like ne ga (nei ge, na ge 那个) during lecture, Korean 니가 (niga = you) and color slangs will be trouble too :sweating_profusely:

    Let's not pretend like the "young girls" in Japanese manga is a positive.
    Even the Japanese are fed up with it.
    We should not use a niche to judge a country.

    @youseiki linked to the actual article instead of some random dude on Youtube with zero journalist integrity that is just trying to fan the flames.

    The whole comics sales is not where the money is. It's all the movies and other merchandise you can adapted them into
    The wider your audience the bigger the market you can sell your content to.
    It is not rocket science.

    It is whether they follow Final Fantasy movie release by selling 100 copies of the movie for $1000 each like they did in 2002 or you want to show it in theatres worldwide and make billions like Marvel.
    It was the new CEO of Kadokawa that proposed this not some SJWs.

    I know SJW are crazy and really hypocrites but blaming everything on them is just stupid.
    It is pretty naive to think that people who agree with you are unbiased and do not have their own agenda.
    I will provide links below

    Its just an opinnion,
    I just chose one from the many different points of view online.
    I can so much about this, but lets just agree to disagree...

    Oh yeah, imo, "I'm not Starfire" was a total train wreck. They could have done better, or market it differently... it really reminds me of "new" new worriors :notlikeblob:

    Mine is based on facts.

    "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." – James R. Schlesinger.

    Most of what you said are not facts.

    It is not a fact that Japanese manga outsold American comics.

    The change in direction of Japanese Media is not driven by SJWs but profit.

    We were talking about books, manga and comics
    You are talking about movie sales and merchandice. Facts.

    Quote from your own cited article animenews network:
    "Superhero comics did it to themselves. They chased the older male collector market to the point where they lost the kids market"
    Facts.

    The change in Japanese media?
    I'm not even commenting on that. I was talking about how sjw tried, but failed.

    What are you on about?

    You are all saying SJW are forcing censorship but that is not what started this. It was this CEO

    https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/new-kadokawa-ceo-manga-“too-sexualized”-must-conform-to-google-and-apple’s-content-standards.131972/#post-6583398

    You are quoting the article out of context.

    Read the entire article. Stop cherry-picking


    I know the conspiracy theory that SJWs are responsible for everything is amusing but that doesn't make it true.

    Over and out.

    Nope, context: basicly the entire article ended up with -- manga is gaining succsess, comic publishers should learn from them. Thats just a "meh... maybe.. but we arent going to affirm that."

    Still doesnt negate the fact that they tried, i didnt say they sucseeded, but they did try. Or are we not acknowledging how hard people try these days?

    Let's stop here.
    Like i said... lets agree to dissagree.

    You do you boo blobmelt_thumbs

    oh that only problem when try to USA market cuz plenty of Europe seem chill enuf, unless if it touch nazi or ussr cuz well europe seem pretty allergic to it perhaps?

    the other problem imo when digital publishing platform limited to apple, google and such which clearly based on USA where SJW stuff really something annoying, if JP KR and CN bound together to make their own international platform with accessibility, payment system, reliability and such on par with Google Apple Amazon or other digital publishing platform, SJW will ignored duh~
    Jnovel club is nice ya know~ still on asia digital book maybe not so profitable beside eastern region so the choice only on NA region perhaps~ what a bother~

    ...in fact...
    The same country (British) that enslaved and shipped Africans to be sold, also enslaved & ruled Hong Kong & India. They (Whites) called Chinese people Yellows, and Indians as Browns. The British also made a prison out of the continent of Australia (they called it penal colonies)
