RE: "Anime is Satanic"

in The Anime Realm2 years ago

It's funny how to push your own culture into another one. Since we live in a Judeo-Christian media and we think on Jesus and God and Devil. But in Japan this just doesn't fly, so when you aim at calling something satanic in Japan is like... you need to be more specific since there are many gods in Japan and there is no concept of the devil. So calling something demonic, is like just showing your own baggage.

Is like calling someone a cannibal vampire religion, also known as catholic when they say we should eat the body of christ and drink his blood to be saved. Yet in that same culture we see Zombies and Vampires and evil entities.

Also defining satan in a christian context is very different from an akuma or an Oni in a Japanese context where there are many deamons and tricksters and devils that take on the japanese society.

So whenever someone called something satanic might have more to do with his personal issues than what it is.

Sort:  

What are you on about? 😅 I'm pushing my culture on others? I need to be specific when I call something satanic? Cannibal Vampire religion?!
Let me state the obvious, if you had read anything past the title of my post you would've known that:

  • This wasn't my statement, it was Matt Walsh's.
  • He was joking.
  • He wasn't talking to a Japanese audience, so their interpretation of satanism doesn't matter.

That's sort of what I said on the comment. Is a bit irrelevant interpretation because of the culture disconnect. An 'Oni' or 'Akuma' is not the same as the christian view of Satan.

Then what does that have to do with anything? 😂 You mention something out of nowhere and then admit it's irrelevant!

I mentioned why is irrelevant. Anyway I never said you were that guy. I understand this was something that happened in a podcast to someone I don't know. But from the looks, is irrelevante. Just take the engagement.

I mentioned why is irrelevant.

You're the one who brought it up in the first place 😑

Anyway I never said you were that guy.

You were literally saying "you" which can only be referring to me.

Just take the engagement.

What does that even mean? Sorry but your English is hard to understand, I can respect you practicing the language to get better at it, but please don't argue with people until you can speak properly.
