There is legitimate wars over anime

2018-06-13 14:17:59 UTC  

ouf

2018-06-13 14:18:02 UTC  

I had some guys who argued that Stalin was a great guy and the USSR was fantastic

2018-06-13 14:18:02 UTC  

Usually tankies are the anti anime gang

2018-06-13 14:18:08 UTC  

but animu is capitalist!

2018-06-13 14:18:46 UTC  

We dislike anime here, but only ironically.

2018-06-13 14:18:48 UTC  

tankies = pro DPRK/stalin right?

2018-06-13 14:18:56 UTC  

Largely yes,

2018-06-13 14:19:04 UTC  

tankies?

2018-06-13 14:19:08 UTC  

DPRK though is less likely to be supported

2018-06-13 14:19:23 UTC  

Tankie is a derogatory term used by hard leftists to refer to stalinists

2018-06-13 14:19:27 UTC  

well yeah if you're going to ban all personal freedom then it makes sense to hate anime too

2018-06-13 14:19:39 UTC  

oh

2018-06-13 14:19:53 UTC  

Because of red Hungary and czechslovakia

2018-06-13 14:20:00 UTC  

but i'm a full on capitalist

2018-06-13 14:20:04 UTC  

yet i like animu

2018-06-13 14:20:14 UTC  

Where the ussr pushed tanks into 2 states

2018-06-13 14:20:29 UTC  

ah

2018-06-13 14:20:55 UTC  

Hence the nickname

2018-06-13 14:20:56 UTC  

well how important is the fact that it's used by lefties tho I've seen wokieleaks and even some right-wingers use it

2018-06-13 14:20:57 UTC  

Tankies

2018-06-13 14:21:01 UTC  

though mostly 70's to late 90's/early 2000's animu

2018-06-13 14:21:23 UTC  

Tankie?

2018-06-13 14:21:31 UTC  

Well it's fairly old and been around a while

2018-06-13 14:21:43 UTC  

yep

2018-06-13 14:22:47 UTC  

Regardless, the main ideology behind post Lenin ussr was known as Marxism Leninism (Lenin and marx didn't produce it, they were "honoured" by the developer of it, Stalin)

2018-06-13 14:23:07 UTC  

I'm trying to think if I ever watched an anime with Marxist themes. Maybe the Japanese artists don't even know it exists?

2018-06-13 14:23:30 UTC  

Japanese communists are actually quite influential

2018-06-13 14:23:31 UTC  

it would explain a few things

2018-06-13 14:23:41 UTC  

They were a major party a few decades back

2018-06-13 14:24:02 UTC  

besides, japan was mostly influenced by the US after ww2

2018-06-13 14:24:07 UTC  

So alot of Japanese shows and such have subtle leftist references

2018-06-13 14:25:12 UTC  

Japanese communist party are super peace and anti violence

2018-06-13 14:25:18 UTC  

inb4 catgirls are disguised Marxist symbols.

2018-06-13 14:25:18 UTC  

Pro*

2018-06-13 14:25:33 UTC

2018-06-13 14:25:34 UTC

2018-06-13 14:25:45 UTC
