Racists Are Trying to Make Dan Da Dan the Latest in Their Culture War

Recently, the Internet has become a nuclear power station. Shelf life to enjoy new media, whether video games or anime, is undoubtedly the starting point for the status quo waswhere the chuds challenge the art of “waking up,” the pearls hold different characters that don’t seem to be portrayed in the media, and start a campaign of harassment against the producers and those who are trying to promote constructive dialogue.

These mind-blowing features have appeared along with newly released games such as Dragon Age: The Veilguard become news de jour for sports aliens turned Gamergate-wannabe pariahs prompting their base to push back “various pressures” in the game shows the tiredness of women with big asses and hoofs and no organization (this is the mountain where he is dying). Finally, try to be kind Fighting racism rationally is futilebecause the foundation is wrong. Unfortunately, this same taste for empty words has sparked his interest It’s Da Dan in what might be the dumbest anime story of the year.

Last month, the X/Twitter artist called Lynn6Thorex were raised It’s Da Dan The show’s artists are re-drawing Okarun and Momo Ayase as Black. Since it was uploaded, the post has received over 88,000 likes and 11,000 comments, with many admirers telling the artist to draw pictures and anime art. The artwork went as far as Okarun English voice actor AJ Beckles and his friend (and partner). It’s Da Dan actor) Anairis Quiñones, who transformed their similar images into Lynn’s interpretations of Okarun and Momo.

Unfortunately, Lynn’s harmless artwork has become the focus of a culture war as people on Twitter accuse the artist, Western Black anime fans, and Beckles of “disrespecting the original work by turning Black characters and alienating Japanese people.” People with unwashed asses and war fans on Twitter just a mouthful away from a non-white person in space are sharing their joy from cartoon-based tweets from Japanese accounts that defy fan art as proof that it’s like blasphemy. . Japan. In fact, it is another art that the Black artist had the ability to create. Some people in the non-bathing camp are pushing for Beckles to be fired as Okarun’s voice actor for *check notes* turning his image into a cartoon. Fortunately, People have shown support for Lynnincluding Beckles, who, like many Black actors, it often has to rise above hatred I remind fans not to let it ruin their day.

“Honestly this is just another day in my life as a black man so I’m fine,” Beckles tweeted. “But for the sake of your health and to avoid possible harm to you please refrain from my comments on what I have already written.”

Anime has gone from being a fan favorite to a rock series about many people, athletes and celebrities progressing in their relationship with the medium. Although many think that pieces will be written to the end, and put what made the anime go forward, it is difficult to ignore the large part of the Black culture in pushing its presence on the Internet. This boom in the black anime community through art, gaming, and online discussion has reverberated in the voice acting industry with the continued rise of young Black voice actors. However, racism finds a way to bring up its ugly head, accusing Black actors in anime of being the product of a culture of wake-up calls and “SJW hires” instead of qualified actors whose talents brought them to their roles.

Anime has the ability to elevate Black images and textures to give his mostly non-black constituents an extra layer of good stuff. Whether it’s through giving them dreadlocks, slang, or something else, it shows the systemic problems in anime. The medium often fails to deliver a good representation of those outside of Japanthey often adopt stereotypes or relegate black people to minor roles. However, what fans of Black anime often combine to enjoy the few Black characters that exist, known by characters like. Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z (those that highlight Black events), or create art and cosplay that reimagines Black people to compensate for the lack of representation in anime.

This phenomenon is not unusual for anime at all. You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone from the early 90s who hasn’t met. Looney Tunes and The Simpsons artwork on t-shirts or artwork featuring Bugs Bunny and Bart Simpson in a baseball cap and jersey. If that’s the case, local anime fans are thinking about anime as well It’s Da Dan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, Sweets in the Dungeon, and My Hero Academia like the black and brown races are a natural extension of that phenomenon.

Anime is for everyone, and getting mad at fans for having fun without a problem creating art like Black does nothing for anyone and shouldn’t cause a change of heart to disrupt your life. It’s not that deep.

It’s Da Dan is streaming on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu.
