@arcana @icedquinn it's not propaganda if there's not intent to propagandize, one of the things that make anime good compared to western animation is it clearly started with "this idea would be cool" rather than "what decoration will beautify this message" I am oversimplifying a bit

@sun @arcana there's been similar argumentation in the christian-* media productions. you have a small corner of people like Skillet who approach it like just being a rock band and making good music that has a positive spin on it, and then you have the slop factories that put out drivel where everything is a constant sermon because ❓
surprising nobody, the result is people listen to Skillet and almost nobody listens to sermon_guitar.mp3

Caziviel mentioned something like this in an interview. he didn't like how much of a "crutch" it was/is to silo media like that; the skillet model reaches more people.
