This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

What isn't anime? Just non Asian cartoons?
You know how to use a search engine, right? "Anime" is literally "animation originating from Japan". When the style is used outside of Japan it's "Animesque". Pokemon is a "Japanese media franchise".
The Japanese use the term for any animation, though, so these are mostly labels from westerners.
I gave two definitions, the English one and the one for アニメ. The second definition is for context, it's not like we're speaking Japanese. Animesque isn't a definition of anime, it's very explicitly not anime, and includes a wide variety of cartoons from The Boondocks to Teen Titans.
I'm annoyed because you're wrong. Take for example The Rose of Versailles, who's main character I have as my name, pfp, and banner on this site. For the majority of the show, she's an adult. She takes part in the French Revolution while she's in her 30's.
Or lets look at the 10 highest grossing Anime films. It has two teen romances, two fantasy actions films, a sports film, a fantasy film with anti-war themes, two fantasy adventure films, and two Ghibli films that are a bit harder to classify, Pony and Spirited Away. Only three of them have romantic overtones, and none have any sexual characteristics.
Adjusted for inflation, the highest grossing live action film is Gone with the Wind, which features a 16 year old about to get married, marital rape, civil war myths, and black stereotypes.
Give Howl's Moving Castle a watch, it's in that top 10 (it's the anti-war one!), and it's quite good.
