Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
though i think there's a solid argument to be made for most of these being conservative, even if not in ways this guy would necessarily recognize as such. name a series on this and i could find a legitimate, not a bit reason it's reactionary. that goes triple for one piece
Yeah I mean, I think I understand the ones I'm familiar with as "conservative core" picks. Most of it is shallow and aesthetic but that's sort of what these lists are about. Though for more than one of these I think the shallow, aesthetic relation to conservatism is underage girls. Come to your own conclusions on that one.
It's also worth keeping in mind that one of the undercurrents of conservatism is a reactionary disdain for capitalism. While few would actually articulate that honestly these days, it used to be stated outright. So while some might also be repulsed by the destruction inherent in industrialization found in Mononoke, the conservative would do so yearning for a regression to feudal relations.
There are some notable absences though. I would have thought Attack on Titan would be there, it used to be very popular with the right. Did that somehow change?
i think this person is a very 2007 era anime fan who probably wasn't watching much anime when aot got big. there's a big gap of about a decade where they only watch a couple shows before getting back into anime. very much a type of guy
