It was more pointing out a hypocrisy for people who commonly have his view point. He is essentially saying that a POC culture is inferior to ours because they hold a view that his western sensibilities find distasteful and wants it to change to his western taste.

I mean.

There's Japanese people who don't like fanservice too so it's not strictly a 'western sensibilities' thing. It all ends up being more about tastes and what one can tolerate in their fiction, at the end of the day. I don't find all anime gags to be funny either, personally, and it's not due to hating Japanese culture, it's more that I find certain jokes repetitive and/or unfunny.

Papenbrook apparently has a reputation of disliking...a lot of things relating to fanservice and other 'controversial' material apparently. At the end of the day, she (profile says the user is female) can either drop the manga if it's that offensive, or...put up with disagreements about it on here.

The next page gives her the final word as she has a witty retort to the main villian.
That's hilarious, lmao. Though why was she shaking her butt mid-battle or whatever? Did she take a twerk break?

Yeah. Normally I might let it go when people say XYZ is sexist just because a little skin is shown or a naughty joke is told...but Papen is tiresome and going on about a pretty 'progressive' manga/anime. For its naughtyness, it gives cheesecake of guys and even has 2 Trans characters.

Yeah, that's something else I point out in my initial reply to her. MHA is actually pretty tame overall. It doesn't have annoying "dude falls into girl's t*ts" type ecchi or anything like that. It's mostly Mineta stuff (which is annoying 95% of the time because it's so repetitive), the boys being embarrassed about being too close to the girls, the sexy costumes (I don't have any problems with the girls showing skin, the manga itself even addresses this), and the one scene in the bathhouse that has the girls bathing (and tbh, it shows the boys too, and there's an extended scene of Izuku in only a towel as he speaks to Mandalay). I wish it did more for the female leads because while they have their moments, they don't really contribute too much to the overall story either. This applies to some of the guys as well, too, really.

When I see people claim Horikoshi is bigoted, I...do a doubletake, honestly. For a Japanese man, he is very progressive. Having trans characters that aren't a joke (tbh, I don't like many of the jokey trans characters in anime because they are there to be exhibited as 'freaks' rather than be taken seriously, and some of them tend to be 'man crazy' and basically force themselves on the male characters as a FuNnY) is actually pretty innovative in a country as reserved as Japan. Magne and Tiger are actually treated very well, in my book. I see some people say Japan is a LGBT+ paradise, but.............no. Japan's take on homosexuality and the like is...complicated, but no, they have their own breed of homophobia (and racism and xenophobia, to boot).

There's going to be an eighth ( and, likely final ) popularity poll.

I wonder who'll make it ...

Potentially. Even though the author is not really shying away from maiming all characters and killing off secondary characters...its a shonen manga.

I just checked out the latest chapter of My Hero Academia, and wow ...

That cover ...

With a sixteen year-old, no less ...

It's disgusting. I hope that Horikoshi looks back on it with disdain.

Oh, I guess this applies here, too. Quite literally, in this case ...

It's a shame.

Nobody really minds from what I can tell. I saw that discussed on twitter and reddit and nobody cares.

That cover was widely condemned.

A majority of people care about its implications.

Widely condemned by voices in your head?

It was widely condemned by actual women and girls.

Personally, I share their sentiment; that cover is indefensible.

Oh no, Papen is complaining about something that literally means nothing.

Anyways…

“Actual women and girls”? Define “Actual”.

I’m an actual woman and I say, “Honey, you ain’t seen nothing yet if you think that’s too vulgar and disgusting.”

Not fat dickhead slobs pretending to be "actual women and girls", like usual?
Also, where are those "offended"?

And, in general, if this is the biggest problem in your life and offend you, you have it VERY VERY good.

I had just scoured websites like Twitter, Reddit, TikTok, etc. ...

On various websites, people ( especially those who happen to identify as women/girls ) found that cover to be particularly distasteful.

Regardless of my lifestyle, I can express my disdain towards that cover.

Please, don't try to defend it.
