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

    miyazaki’s work broadly is very retvrn with a v. all about how we gotta go back to this pastoral fantasy, with mononoke being especially bad about this. his environmentalism is a reactionary environmentalism. and that’s not even getting into his hardon for the japanese war machine. miyazaki would hate these people but there’s so much for them to latch onto in his work

    one piece, in addition to all the ‘we gotta return the rightful king to the throne!’ and skypiea and fishman island, has some of the most rancid transphobia you’ll ever find. even if oda is trying to make up for that these days, it still has that and it’s incredibly bad
