A "satirical" edit of a manga about the struggles of being a mixed-race woman in Japan. The edits makes the woman talk that that racist "we wuz" Tyrone stereotype. The "satire" is to criticize English localizations of Japanese anime and games, particularly ones that have internet lingo or political terminology commonly used since the 2010s. The people who made this assumes that the localizers will see this to "teach them a lesson" when in reality this will only destroy any credibility that is criticism of localization.
Controversial Examples: Pokemon - External Media, Catching & Trading Pokemon, Character Designs Mortal Kombat - Realistic Motion Capture, Fatalities, Some characters and moves, Gore *Some may agree with these examples, but I deliberately put these in this category due to how nostalgic and popular they are. Also, their fans are known to be hyper-defensive and I don’t want to cause a warzone.
Kitsch Game Definition: A video game fondly remembered and often still played primarily for its gimmick, hook, art direction, characters, or cultural identity rather than for the quality of its gameplay. The gameplay typically ranges from moderately serviceable with major flaws that hold it back from being worth playing beyond its kitsch, to genuinely terrible and poorly designed where it’s a miracle people even like the game to begin with. Examples: SPORE - Monster Creator Kingdom Hearts - Disney Crossover and Lore Scott Pilgrim VS The World - Pixel Art Mihoyo Games - Character Designs and Open World Etymology: From kitsch (art or design appealing to popular or sentimental taste rather than high aesthetic standards) + game, adapted to describe video games whose cultural or aesthetic appeal outweighs their mechanical refinement. Clarification: The term does not imply that a game labeled a ‘kitsch game’ is inherently bad, nor is it simply another way of calling a game overrated. Rather than denying a game’s appeal, it analyzes the source of that appeal. Such games may be serviceable or even enjoyable, but their enduring popularity is driven primarily by aesthetic or conceptual qualities (and in the case of older titles, nostalgic appeal) rather than driven by the strength of their actual gameplay and game design.
This post criticizes performative liberals (commonly white liberals) for trivializing the oppression of Native Americans by conflating modern immigration woes (such as the oppression committed by ICE) with the atrocities committed under American colonialism. Text: Obviously fuck ICE and the shit they're doing, but I really hate how white liberals are weaponizing native americans' suffering for their "epic woke vibes" slogans against Trump. It's genuinely so eye-rolling to see two different struggles conflated into a single "gotcha,"
Some insufferable person (left) accusing others (right) for degeneracy. Very often that the accused are queer or Muslim, and the accusers are often chuds who are into hentai, commonly taboo stuff like lolicon.
A "future-brained" person is one who gets defensive over modern technology, thinking that modern technology is the best most innovative thing on Earth and will dismiss any criticism (especially valid criticism) of modern technology. Examples of "modern technology" mainly refers to technology made since the iPhone, including (but not limited to) smartphones, streaming services, smart-fridges, microtransactions, and especially AI. This behavior was normalized around the 2010s, as the only people known for hating modern technology are often out-of-touch old people (boomers) and paranoid conspiracy theorists... usually for dumb or nihilistic reasons like those shitty "phone bad" FaceBook memes. Nearly every sentence shown in the meme are common talking points made by these people: "You actually love AI right now, ever heard of autocorrect?" "Why would I want DVDs? I can just access my shows on streaming." "The future is now, old man!" "Smart-tech is convenient, therefore it's good." "iPhones and smart-tech track your data? Heh, wait until you find out about driver's licenses." "Trust me, we should embrace AI. We could cure cancer with this!" "You must be a dumb boomer to think smartphones are a problem."
A meme a user created that cherrypicks a scene from an anime they most certainly didn't even watch, to make some snarky jab against a modern show with a cutesy moe artstyle they didn't like. It's basically the Tumblr equivalent of those guys whining about shows with the "bean-mouth CalArts" style, but somehow even more pathetic as more anime since 2020 have gradually strayed away from the "evil moeblob" artstyle with only a few shows that have it like the ones in the slice-of-life and ecchi genres of anime.
