Is this where I can bitch about how some doujin artists started making material for Kantai Collection instead of Touhou the moment the former became trendy, and how the American/Western anime fan community hails the doujin scene as some bastion of non-mass-market creativity when it is populated with people just as human and cool-kid-mentality-centric as anyone else with a creative bone when money or status are involved? Not quite. But I agree with, like, 4/5ths of what you say. A topic for another day. Japan have been turning almost everything into girls. Game consoles, computer operating systems, battleships, tanks, guns... ...web browsers, Eva's angels, swords, aircraft... |

Well that's not offensive at all.
Although I still wanna see what Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran, and Mormon look like, haha.

Also, picking a word that ends in "tan" and then using it as the baby talk honorific "-tan" is pretty much bottom barrel Japanese creative thinking. |

Hehe, I think it's kind of silly when they do that. But still, I agree, there seems to be a subset of that "moeshit" where they court offensiveness. ...aaaand, you just reminded me of another thing, another "culturally sensitive" example was that "moe dictators" book. For those interested, here's the whole thing (despite the site, it's safe for work): g.e-hentai.org/g/547099/b90c0ee9c8/ |

SPEAKING OF MOE DICTATORS KILLLLLL MEEEEEEEI....am really glad I didn't see this Kickstarter when it was active because I totally would have put money down. It's so fucked up I would have had to. |

I gotta admit, I laughed at Li'l Fuhrer, haha.
I'm confused, though, is the skit with the white chicks a part of the video making fun of the Kickstarter, or was that actually used by the Kickstarter campaign? Because if it's the latter, then it seems like at least the people aiming to localize the game were self-aware and trying to be ironic and purposely push buttons, which I think is a little better than the cultural cluelessness of Puri-tan and Afghanis-tan, where it feels like they don't even understand how what they're doing could be offensive.
As for sexy anime chick Nazis, can't these Kickstarter backers just watch Akame ga Kill or something like normal people, haha. You can't tell me that the character Esdeath isn't basically a Nazi, except at least she's not LITERALLY a Nazi and at least she's still a villain. I assume the girls in Barbarossa are the good guys?

Ever hear of Demonbane? There are some really obnoxious people who will go on and on about how its the most powerful mech ever made to justify their sexual attraction to the little Narlythotep girl that powers it and that is sadly not a joke. I went back and looked at the CGs for it, holy shit is it horrifying. They totally need to learn to draw dicks. The only thing I can think of where dicks were drawn worse would be Melinda Gebbie's art in "Lost Girls", where it appeared she was trying to draw pinkish, melted Tootsie Rolls. |

Ah I remember that "moe dictators" book, I found Papa Doc to be pretty creative... or maybe it's just my witch fetish, who knows. And what about Learning Basic Chemistry Through Moe? I would like to know if anyone actually studied on it. There was also that horrible anime, Akikan, about moe-fied soda cans (I kid you not). Speaking of monster girls, I usually enjoy them, I even once read a yuri manga called Tokimeki Mononoke Jogakkou about a girl who found herself for some reason in a monster girl school and slowly fell in love with a cat girl, plus various other shenanigans such as trying to pass off as a monster to avoid being eaten (in the food sense...). |

I don't know anything about that specific chemistry book, but I know a lot of other manga-themed educational books are actually serious textbooks. They're usually suited for high school kids or intro level college courses.
