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
The two where I can squint and see his point are Hellsing and Spy Family.
Hellsing’s obvious because of all the Christian imagery
Spy Family, is about well…starting a family. But I never thought conservatives would like it because Loid isn’t a fat abusive alcoholic like an “alpha male”.
Spy x Family is steeped in Cold war imagery with the “bad side” pretty much being a stand in for the GDR
Tanya the Evil features “2nd Reich” (it’s actually a blend of 2nd and 3rd) as the protagonists
Legend of the Galactic Heroes has Space Prussia & enlightened despotism winning
That is correct, but also keep in mind as far as S1 goes the stand in for America’s hero, the antagonist was literaly a traditional white blond Mary Sue, also keep in mind the whole theme is Tanya is explicitly fighting against God from an atheist perspective.
There couldn’t be more of a disconnect between modern younger millennial chudism and traditional boomer “conservative values”.
japanese conservatives often hate america, that’s not a generational thing
I was referring to the perspective of the guide maker in the OP which I assume was making this for new viewers not people who are already weebs.
Maybe that assumption is wrong, but IMO following from it, having a white blond American woman as a soldier AND antagonist while Tanya as a child soldier giving orders and often talking down old men in the army is not something I expect anyone over 40 to enjoy, this is all far more likely to annoy older conservatives while sure 4chan loves it. Also as I said the atheist theme alone is likely a turn off, its either you stand for Nazism or you’re a 4chan kid. Normie 40yo+ conservatives are probably going to have a negative reaction.
So “conservative core” is rather more like “4chan top random picks for [current year ±15]”
oh sure. i guarantee you whoever made this list was active on 4chan in 2006, and probably still is today. thus list is incredibly elder millenial/young gen x weeb. i’m a little surprised they don’t have like, slayers on there
That’s a good way of pointing it out. Although I extend this to older fascists as well. Normies basically fall under the base assumption that “good = fascist” and “bad = left-leaning”.
If normie Amerikkkans watched Snowpiercer and liked it, they would call it a based aryan film. If they read The Turner Diaries and somehow didn’t like it, they could call it woke.
That begs the question, why would CHUDs of any stripe hate Amerikkka? Is it like Russia where their only gripe about Amerikkka is that they are a bunch of fascist baby eaters that are in competition with them for eating babies?
japanese conservatives generally dislike america on account of america forcing the dismantling of japan’s military and general bitterness about ww2 and the aftermath. so kinda what you were saying but they do have specific historical and current gripes
It’s also about found family and adoption. There’s definitely a portion of right-wingers that adopt kids, but the fascist anime fan types seem too obsessed with cum to consider “raising someone else’s child.”
yeah, hellsing is all about conservatives killing heathens in gloriously aestheticized violence. and spy x family is being the patriarch and cold war stuff
