Why is Japan pretty much the only place on the planet left with a thriving, original nerd culture? When will another country take the torch and make cartoons? Is it because obsessive otaku keep anime studios alive with thin profit margins impossible in other countries? What does The West(tm) need to do to stop losing so fucking hard? A new business model? Should I make an app? We can't even blame this one on globalism since plenty of non cucked countries do not make cartoons.

Yeah. The spirit of Disney lives on through anime, completely unironically. Disney was originally about making cartoons about cute teenage girls, and that Disney is dead, but Japan took the torch. Yes, they're not the same thing, but cute child gaki cartoon culture perseveres. And thank god it did, because we'd be full communist fascist feminist theocratic shithole if it didn't.

According to the old Japanese nerds it really hasn't or is on life support itself. Akibahara has changed a lot and a lot of the old otaku shops just aren't there anymore...
Comicon and other conventions have changed a lot too.

Yeah. Japanese subculture has been destroyed by feminists who are half of Japanese female population(30M). Ishiba who is more feminist than his wife has banned bikinis from anime and non gacha games in Japan.
While China has no feminist that it is okay in China to have poster of loli in micro bikini on subway station. No zoning in China. It is proved by genshin, starrail, ZZZ, WuWa has hot girls in revealing outfits, which would have been cancelled by 30M feminist legions' claim if it was Japan. Only sane female in Japan are either VA or Vtubers. No feminist member in Hololive.
Pic rel is how Japanese subculture got destroyed while Chinese subculture rises for China has no feminist. En taro Xi jinping.

Comics? Korean makes them better.
Games?
China makes them better by genshin, starrail, zzz, wuwa, wukong, phantom blade X,
Korea makes them better by lies of P, France makes them better by Expedition 33 while Nintendo killed Japanese game by fucking greed and keycard.
Entertainment? Korea makes them better.
Car? Electricity? Korea and China makes them better.
Subculture? BA has 2000 comicket booth.

Yeah. Japanese anime used to be robust in front of Chinese donghua but how can they fall so soon and get dominated by Korea like Kpop demon hunter and solo leveling so easily??
Korea has less budget, manpower than China and censorship par with China but how did they dominate Japanese anime market just by solo leveling and kpop demon hunter? These would earn more than Jap slops like Demon slayer and JJK. Kpop demon hunter is more popular than Demon slayer and JJK in Japan.

But half of Japanese female population are feminists tho. It caused bikinis to be banned from anime and Japanese console games, and promoting Japanese moe girl picture in train station and street is not allowed in Japan, or get them blown away by feminist legion. And anime girl advertisment are being banned by feminists even in Japanese SNS. While China has no feminist that it is okay in China to have poster of loli in micro bikini on subway station. No zoning in China. It is proved by genshin, starrail, ZZZ, WuWa has hot girls in revealing outfits, which would have been cancelled by 30M feminist legions' claim if it was Japan.

Dunno how it is in Japan, but large conventions like that are basically overcrowded, overpriced industry driven events that are a far cry from their humble beginnings.

You are wrong
Now EVERY FUCKING COUNTRY is doing their take on anime but failing to convey what made anime mainstream beyond Japan. Even Japan is failing to convey what made Anime the big dick in town for baka gaijins nerds back on the late 90 and early '00 (picrel).
However, these countries with their own nerds are pretty much creating their own standard of what anime is for them without predating japan's standard of anime. And this is breeding a new original nerd culture after the superhero boom on cinemas gave the final shot for the previous nerd culture (superhero comics, sci-fi, fantasy, big tits blondies).

Nukitashi is only available as audio only on korea of the sout
And only Taiwan has the uncensored version (thus making it the best China).
Japanese anime will still exist and without the intervention of baka gaijins sperg on the discussion of it (in other words, anime is healing).

America had a big nerd culture, but it got co-opted by corporations. Now comic book movies are the pinnacle of mainstream and we have SpongeBob and My Little Pony in Magic the Gathering. The same is already happening to Japan too, albeit slower because Japanese nerds are more productive in their nerdiness (Comiket is the epitome of this)

There is no way to monetize nerd shit in Japan well enough to where the talented creators fuck off and hand off the ip to corporations who hand it off to talentless hacks.
It is so hard to monetize nerd shit in japan because japanese execs don't know how to capitalize on trends when the iron is hot and don't know how to convert a hit into a franchise.

*had. Spongebob died with the movie, MLP hasn't been relevant in years. We're not totally dead yet, we still produce fun stuff like (early) Rick and Morty, Zootopia 2 is coming out soon after Disney being total ass for nearly a decade, Smiling Friends, etc. But these hardly have the same staying power that cultural phenomena like Madoka or Love Live have. And I'm actually really excited for Bad Guys 2, I thought the first one was one of the best animated movies I've ever seen, but my impression is that is seen as somewhat artsy even here in America. When I was in Japan last time, it's really insane how in every major city, you'd see Love Live characters plastered over every other Pachinko parlor. We don't really have anything like that. Our nerds are too weak. Until I see Judy Hopps's ass on every scratcher lotto ticket vending machine in the US, I don't think we're even in the same league as Japan. Frozen was the last true animated cultural phenomenon to come out of this country.

We do, kind of, but see >>281236874 It has been commercialized. Companies saw how much nerds pay for things and went 'we want a piece of that!' and came like locusts ready to devour what they could without understanding what it is.
I am not into Magic (I'm a Yugioh guy), but I heard they got devoured bad. Warhammer 40k too. D&D too I assume. Then for eletronics I don't even want to know how bad it is. There is probably cool stuff in other subcultures but since I am not in those its unknown to me if its been taken over too. I assume they have. Most hobbies seem to have been turned from 'this is fun' to 'how can I make a profit off this?'.
With all that said, all it takes are a few nerds to do something big to change the communities in a positive way.

Why are you shilling China and Korea when they're even worse than Japan with regard to censorship? China can only achieve 90% of Japan's quality at best, and Korea 70% (since they have an odd tendency to insert ugly pop culture aesthetics in everything they make). "Japan bad" does not mean "everything else good."

The west makes billions off of videogames and superhero films, they have a thriving nerd culture.
>When will another country take the torch and make cartoons?
The west does make animations contrary to popular belief, it's just that these animators work for hollywood films, TV, and videogames because they get consistent employment with it.

If anything nerd culture in japan got way more commercialized, just like western (I'm assuming you mean american because that's all anyone else refers to here) berd culture. Nothing but gacha and ads. Kadokawa's business statement was telling everyone "we'll make a shit ton of anime every year" and people will buy it regardless. Comiket is dominated by a corporate mobile game. I'd ask what culture that's preserving but even I don't know anymore

Its all Hollywood's fault. Comic authors in the west usually get in the game to make something for The Big Two, in the hopes that a fragment of one of their stories will end up in mcu slop or they want to make something for kids that will get them a cartoon deal with netflix. The fact that hollywood will always think of animation as something exclusively for children and their constant mining of silver age comics for new capeshit influences the ambitions of young comic creators and pulls them away from stand alone, graphic stories for wide demographics - which is something manga and anime has always supplied in spades. I think break out indie animation online and the fading relevance of legacy media is sort of changing this, but it is taking much longer than I thought it would.

>this is precisely why

The anime industry is largely built on the manga industry.
America doesn't have a manga industry. We have a capeshit industry. As a result, there's no shortage of animated or live action adaptations of superheroes.
We need to get our comic artists to branch out and then actually pay for what they make.
Alternatively, you need to convince western animators to make adaptations of popular novels instead of having Hollywood do it.

Based based based. We are actual western white people with western culture that spreads its legs and offers its toddlers for penis mutilation at the hands of Jews and Brown Muslims, plus child prostitution. How dare the asian bug fucks flaunt homogeneity anyway? A lack of Abrahamic puritanism plus high population density and high IQ??? Let us into your countries you yellow bug fucks so we can slice your babies' penises and throw the doors open for semitic child diddlers you fucking pedo barbarians. Accept our civilization and the love of Jesus Christ, you barbarian yellow bugmen fucks. amen and god bless

There is nothing original about otaku culture anymore. It being mostly unpozzed is all it has going for it, but the downside is you have to put up with it being the most unoriginal shit of all time. 99% of otaku shit made today uses the same exact settings, character archetypes, plots, tropes, art style and colors, etc.

Yuri and Yaoi exist and were things before the West even got in on the whole LGBT craze.

Cowboy Bebop was truly good though and had a ton of classic anime aesthetics, just not the "otaku" kind

I agree. We should also ban anything violent in media, because that's not normal. It disgusts me to think that there are so many murderers out there.

The simple answer is because Japan is not run by woke globalists yet. They're running out of time, however, so it will all end within our lifetimes.

Murder is in fact more normal than being attracted to kids or your first-degree family members yes.

The anime industry used to be much stronger on its own and original IPs were aplenty, including experimental/alternative/non-mainstream things.

These days it's hard to have anything like that without the backing of a huge franchise name behind it. You ain't gonna have another Lain, another Mononoke, another Genius Party etc. everything has to have "a market" and thus be homogenized, sterilized, pandering, in some way or another.

You can tell who only started watching anime in the 2010s. I was watching Gankotsuou and Aquarion in the 2000s. I was shocked at how blatantly homosexual these shows were. Nothing in the west I saw could even compare. And there was that bit in Samurai Champloo about Ihara Saikaku. You can really tell who the tourists are.

Yes, it is. I would far sooner forgive someone for murder than for being a pedo or committing incest.

Murder can have justifications to it like self-defense, fucking a kid can't, so that's obvious.

I don't really get why people become so mad about incest though. In the .1% cases where it happens, what exactly is the problem? Nobody is being bothered.

You don't get it. We need to ban everything abnormal in media. And any thought crimes that people commit should be treated as if they had really acted upon them.

"Kid" denotes a human 0-18 years of age or so, and kids produce viable sperm and eggs from the age of ~12. Fucking a "kid" is neither pedophilia nor is it necessarily wrong.

Should we ban dwarfs from having sex with anyone? That's a real version of what you're pretending incest does.
In reality inbreeding is basically fine. If you do it for many generations in a row it can cause problems, but that only happens in royal families.

The only real problem with incest is that it's usually a dude raping his daughter.

Obviously that falls under different categories before we talk about "incest". The point here is considering ONLY incest, without rape or pederasty involved. Literally the most pointless thing to be mad about
