Social Japanese Artist Harrassed On Twitter For Being Too "Woke"

[The Elemental O]

Twitter being toxic as usual. A Japanese artist made thread sharing a moment when a black user thanked them for drawing black characters, which sounds really wholesome and they actually enjoy drawing POC characters, only for them to get harassed by weebs who accused them of being "brainwashed by Western ideology activists", others going as far as to accuse the artist of not being a "true Japanese" because their English is really good and because they consider themselves non-binary.

The frustrating thing is that this isn't the first time this happened.

Like how this crowd harrassed video game director/writer Kotaro Uchikoshi for including LGBTQ references in his games.

Or how these people also called out mangaka Kamome Shirahama, author/artist of the bestselling manga Witch Hat Atelier for being "brainwashed by Western ideology".

And yet there has been no coverage on incidents like this. Excuse my skepticism but if it were the other way round, you would have seen ton of videos and articles about how "Woke Activists Are Harrassing A Japanese Creator For Not Being Woke Enough".

Guess videos about the anti-woke crowd harrassing Japanese artists doesn't get views.

EDIT: A thread with the images of this because for some reason this site is blocking all the images.

Exactly what kind of “coverage” do you want this to get?

How dare that artist. He should know the only acceptable way to present black people in Asian media.

The internet is being mean again? Well I'll be...

Exactly what kind of “coverage” do you want this to get?

Exactly. I don't want to see any articles about random nobodies on Twitter being mean.

People need to stop thinking that anyone's opinion on Twitter matters

 

[Krimzon]

what is woke though, can you define it?

The hyperfocus on banal nonsense in this current gen z zeitgeist is about 2 steps away from not wanting to use toilet water to grow crops because Gatorade has electrolytes and that's what our crops crave

Sad, but it's not suprising.

Isn't harrassing and bullying people different from you literally the whole point of twitter?

 

[The Elemental O]

Exactly what kind of “coverage” do you want this to get?

The same amount of coverage the woke side gets when they do the same thing, which is a lot. Why do you think Youtube is filling its algorithm with videos complaining about SJWs?

That has to do with the not quite completely finished site migration.

There's a weird overlap that exists between anime dweebs and racists

 

[Crawler89]

They've been drawing tenticle raping monsters for like a century.

I think the Japanese have moved well beyond POC and woke nonsense
