@cook15141@zhesee2003 Well, guess what audience loves to be in panic mode about "identity politics" being inserted into "things" that should just be kept "things".
Don't quack like a duck, if you don't wanna be confused for one.
@SonOfChar0079@animetv_jp@BandaiNamcoUS Do you even know the backgrounds behind the problems with OPM? Like, what made season 1 so great, and how that lead to the project crumbling under its own weight.
Also, how many of those titles I listed, have had the exact same problems?
@cook15141@zhesee2003 Ah yes "modern audience culture"... How creative... What is next? Gonna whine around how they made the bisexual cyborg, fighting against a Mossad conspiracy, and has no issues with switching between male and female bodies, got turned """WoKe""".
@cook15141@zhesee2003 Why on earth would I console a grown up that has irrational fears of boogeymen and scapegoats?
Judging your tweets, you haven't even read the original manga, and yet here you are spewing your irrational hatred towards identity and politics being a part of fiction.
@cook15141@zhesee2003 What "pool" and who is "everyone else"?
Also, news flash, but a big part of discussing existentialism, also has to do with ones identity.
@SonOfChar0079@animetv_jp@BandaiNamcoUS Yes! Let us all remember notorious failures, hated by all anime fans, such as:
GitS SAC_2045
Welcome to Demon School Iruma kun
Gintama
SAO
Space Dandy
Code Geass
Dragon Ball Super
Ultraman
Gundam GQuX
Bungo Stray Dogs
Food Wars

@cook15141@zhesee2003 So you want Ghost in the Shell to be stripped of two major elements (political conflicts and identity philosophy), and have it boiled down to what? Just action, for the sake of action?
Will für "Kreativität" sein, und rotzt dann diesen Seelenlosen Einheitsbrei vom Fliessband hin, und glaubt damit irgendwas tolles abgeliefert zu haben.
@JakeWasHere1982 Btw. those anime, just like GitS'26, are airing on Prime, and got dubbed by them.
Yet so far, all you ever referenced was stuff Funimation/CrunchyRoll did ages ago, some of which they even apologized for and changed.
The folks at Amazon, aren't responsible for CR's actions.
@JakeWasHere1982 Also, if you "KNOW" what "they" will be inclined to do.
Then surely you can tell me about all the political references "they" shoehorned into the Rebuild of Evangelion, Übel Blatt, Look Back, SANDA, City The Animation, New Panty & Stocking, Gundam GQuX, Darwin Incident, etc?
@JakeWasHere1982 Regarding this GamerGate reference.
That was 10+ years ago, it was a minute dialogue in f'n Prison School of all things (like who even gives a crap about that anime in 2026?), Funimation ended up apologizing to y'all and on top of that replaced the dialogue.
@JakeWasHere1982 So despite your deep passion for, and knowledge of Ghost in the Shell, you can't think of a single moment, that is at risk of having a reference 2026 US Politics shoehorned into it, and you can't even think of what exactly could be referenced within the topic of '26 US politics?
@JakeWasHere1982 To fear a reference to real 2026 US Politics, in a story, in which the USA as we know it don't exist, given how they got split up into 3 nations(The American Empire, The Russo-American Alliance and the United States Of America) after a 3rd World War, makes absolutely no sense.
@JakeWasHere1982 Again, where would even be the room for such a thing?
2026 American politics? So you somehow fear that they name drop Donald Trump and the stuff he's been pulling off? Do you fear a mention of ICE?
@JakeWasHere1982 Why wouldn't we be able to guess which moments those would be? If you are familiar with Ghost in the Shell, then surely you could easily think of which specific moments could be altered to your dislike.
@JakeWasHere1982 To which I once again ask... Where in GitS would even be room for any political reference to be shoehorned in? And what kind of political reference would that even be?
@JakeWasHere1982 And which moment in Ghost in the Shell, even creates the necessary context, for anyone to place terms like "incel" and "chud" into the dialogues?
@JakeWasHere1982 If it happens constantly, why is your go to example freakin' Dragon Maid, instead of something more recent?
The new GitS will air on Amazon Prime, so... Surely if this happens constantly, what Amazon Prime Dubs have this?
