I'm tired of weebs shitting on Western pop culture. What excuse do these mfs have to shit on Western pop culture if they themselves watch some mediocre harem and isekai slop? Western pop culture isn't bad, we have a rich back catalog of great Western works waiting for us to discover them. Neither did it become worse, all the good and promising talent just went into the indie and AA segments so basically the West sorta relies on doujin circles for releasing great games, comics, cartoons and music which is fairly unique to it compared to the Far East. And even AAA game studios, Netflix and cartoon channels, with all their DEI, dwindling quality and appeals to the lowest common denominator, still occasionally produce some bangers (CDPR, Rockstar, id Software, MachineGames, io Interactive and [adult swim] still look promising despite all the fuckups).
So here's my message to the weeaboos: stop shitting on something you don't understand and having a superiority complex because you watch moe girls flashing their panties and jiggling their tits on-screen. Sure, Western pop culture is in its late-capitalist casual-friendly pandering enshittification phase but it's not all doom and gloom, even though it used to be better when it comes to the mainstream pop culture. Or maybe it became too mainstream so the indie scene is sort of a counterbalance to that? Remember how gamers were often bullied for their hobby? Now everyone and your dad plays video games and it obviously affects their quality.

>>9294Kids cartoons even today are superior to the average adult cartoon.
Most adult cartoons rely on constant toilet humor or “nihilism” (which is really just hatred for work and decent company)

>>9332>This is obviously bait.No, I'm being genuine.
>It’s Eastern pop culture that’s what upon by non-weeaboos like yourselfPretty sure that it's the anime/manga fans specifically who have that "holier than thou" attitude.
>>9333>Most adult cartoons are filled to the brim with childrens media references to headmen nostalgia.Are they? Maybe some but not all of them.
>And there’s a lot of restrictions put on adult media.Not really. Sometimes it feels like there aren't
enough restrictions. Though I think it's a worthy sacrifice for creative freedom.
>>9334>Kids cartoons even today are superior to the average adult cartoon.How many good kids cartoons do you remember in the past 5 years?
>Most adult cartoons rely on constant toilet humor or “nihilism” (which is really just hatred for work and decent company)It used to be like that but more and more kids' writers transition to adult animation so I don't believe this format is as dominant as it was. It's not going anywhere but we don't really have a deficit of actually interesting adult shows to watch.

>>9372>Pretty sure that it's the anime/manga fans specifically who have that "holier than thou" attitude.Relative to their genre yes.
But overall it’s the anti-anime crowd that bullies anime/manga fans. See how it’s popular to hate on anime again?
The accusations of pedophilia and racism?
>Not really. Sometimes it feels like there aren't enough restrictions. Though I think it's a worthy sacrifice for creative freedomTell me how there isn’t enough restrictions in adult media.
Where?
>and more kids' writers transition to adult animation so I don't believe this format is as dominant as it was. It's not going anywhere but we don't really have a deficit of actually interesting adult shows to watch.Maybe because the adult humor format needs to refreshed?

Actually, now anime viewership consists of more normies than it used to because of the decline of mainstream Western culture. You're more likely to see some conservative boomer watching some isekai slop than a genuine anime fan who hates this kind of genre in the first place.
