american moe died decades ago and no one wants to talk about it

@Ultrakyriel Academics in English have made more references to Japanese sources than amateur researchers

[Hickey Neate @HickeyNeate]

@ranmasaotome96 Have you tried Shakatak? They’re a British group that even had Japan‐exclusive albums

[Hickey Neate @HickeyNeate]

@CorrectNansu @Ultrakyriel The EN community should still be able to fan‐translate this literature just as they do Japanese media (they have for things like Eva)

[ファビウス・スラックス @Ultrakyriel]

One thing I noticed is often a lot of Japanese experts on Japanese media tends to get ignored simply because their works aren't translated into English.

You would think more non-Japanese fans might consult those Japanese experts first before making big comments and takes online

these poor animators tried to make their own moe culture but the west just wasn't based enough.

@macchiMC72 日本は「世界における表現の自由特区」を目指すべきと思っております。政府がやるべきはクールジャパンなんぞの焼き直しではなく、この環境の保全と宣伝です。

ハンガリーやソ連など、旧共産圏の「かわいい」モダニズムが話題となっていますが、私からも少し補足情報を。
こうしたコケティッシュさと記号性が両立したデザインは、当時のコミックストリップやカートゥーンにおいて普遍的なものでした。1950-60年代の世界的なトレンドだったと言ってよいでしょう。

@EnragedNinyoi My opinion
Losho culture is associated with non-offending pedophiles. However, not all lolicon or shotacon are pedophiles. It's fine for such a culture to exist.
-A statement against both mainstream pros and antis.

@unijorse @jiruofthewired Very datable to the 2000s now

[liu eric @liueric40542933]

The West can't morally handle Japanese lolicon culture, which refers to realistic 3DCG or humans as "loli." Of course, some people in Japan believe that real children are ガキ, but not loli. However, Japan doesn't have such strict rules against referring to realistic characters as loli.
E.g. classical eroge magazine related websites refer realistic 3DCG as ロリ

For the reason, please refer to https://t.co/7FqATXsgm9
The only problem is the morality of sexual attractive CG or drawings based on real children.

@eurocontin @posta_octavian The French Lolita indeed

[Hickey Neate @HickeyNeate]

@MakeUSAVAT @avrilbradley23 The French ones specifically influenced Japanese idol and Lolita aesthetics

[Hickey Neate @HickeyNeate]

@f0dless @BalladeerAnims This is downstream from the alt‐right (online tradcaths are a subculture thereof) embracing anime and manga as ‘based and trad’ media after things like Comicsgate

[Hickey Neate @HickeyNeate]

@BalladeerAnims @f0dless These are more specifically Anglo‐American tradcaths

its legacy now is a bunch of YouTubers trying to make videos on soft power with out doing research into actually looking at how effective it was just because they got into weird twitter arguments.

[Lawrence Eng @Lawmune]

Anime fans have existed for as long as anime’s been around, but 'organized fandom' came later. Interestingly, the birth of organized anime fandom in both Japan and the US happened around the same time. (thread)

[MisterGoon @MisterCoom005]

Across every major opposing group, whether it be kodocons and antis, man and woman, Christians and Muslims, liberals and conservatives, caps and commies, Americans and Asians, or blacks and whites, you’ll notice a very common theme: they all accuse each other of being pedophiles.
