Step 1: Buy a laaarge Manga site. Step 2: Only allow stuff that you want on it and reward/market inclusivity/inclusive focussed mangas Step 3: Frustrate reader. Site dies slowly. Step 4: Buy the sites the readers fled to. Rinse and repeat

It's not about the money. It's about controlling what people see.

I just want my anime to be uncensored for God sake. This is bullshit.

[@Ronin66]

Don't we all. All I know that can be done is to educate ppl on the bad practices and encourage them not to give money to these companies

They want to DEI Japan 😂

They wouldn't have to do much anime is already pretty diverse. The problem will be make a characters full focus on it

[@TT09B5]

@@Ronin66 Yeah but its the "wrong" kind of diverse to them. The PM of Japan is already a pro Blackrock and WEF guy so he has already done and going to do tons of more damage to Japan over all.

So this company will now fail.

[@Ronin66]

Possibly

[@mactep1]

Anime being diverse already wont change anything, subtlety, nuance and media literacy are foreign concepts to these ppl, they will hire underqualified personnel and “consultation firms”, these will then find something offensive based solely on their feelings, and they will ruin it by forcing their diversity, politics and forced positivity instead of letting writers do their job.

[@notyouraverageguy2265]

It will fail then a new one will take its place, like a snake shedding its skin. A good example is 4-KIDS, it died to irrelevancy and true fans had kept anime titles under 4-kids alive by fan-subs and piracy.

[@Ronin66]

Your not exactly wrong, but it's more that start up companies specializing in Japanese entertainment started to come up i.e. Funimation

Ken Akamatsu is the Goat Love Hina was one of the first manga i collected and now he protects our hobby, best man!

[@Ronin66]

Until he does something wrong. I think it's a good thing that he is there. Somone who understands the industry that can help make politicians can only be a plus

[@niccosalonga9009]

Looks like it's time for some entrepreneurs to begin planning the replacement for this site. It's going to steadily degrade probably and an audience will be there looking for an alternative.
