It's really not about media literacy. The right doesn't care about truth or consistency, their interpretation of things is purely Id based, if they like a thing they just force a interpretation that aligns with their value, they likely know it's bullshit but whatever, makes their pee pee feel good. If a Nazi liked fucking Battleship Potemkin they'd mental gymnastics an interpretation that aligned with their beliefs. It doesn't matter how blatantly left you make the message in a piece of media, CHUDs will find a justification for liking it.
Conservatives stand for nothing, except vague nostalgia about the "good times" so it makes sense their "conservative core" anime would just be a bunch of stuff they watched as a kid and as a teen. No analysis, just "this was really cool when I was a kid, and I didn't have to pay rent or anything back then, so I associate these two unrelated concepts because my brain is smoother than a billiard ball."
I like Jojo, but in the rare instances where it really offers political messaging it's basically libertarian bullshit (see the end of Stone Ocean episode 27, where Araki takes a strong stand against motorcycle helmet laws on existential grounds for some reason)
The main thing I like about Jojo is its derangement, so this doesn't bother me too much
Not gonna blame them for princess mononononoke though; she's simply a forestcore wolfgrind sigma tradwife who's been greenpilled and is actively rejecting the woke metalist agenda and their soy anti-tree narrative.
What the fuck is conservative about a show about an elf who outlives her friends and kinda has a midlife crisis about that before going on an adventure to get to know them and other people better
Ok I think I mostly get it, this person used exactly 5 criteria to make his picks:
#1 "I judge a book by its cover", this includes almost certainly not watching even a single episode.
Spy x Family, GnP, JoJo, Sailor Moon, Black lagoon, Tanya, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Gundam
#2 "I watched exactly 1 episode to be sure and yep this ain't woke"
Jormungand, Cowboy Bebop, Kill la Kill.
#3 "My 4chan friends like this thefore its probably ok I guess"
Bochi , Lucky Star, Azumanga, Konosuba, Princess Mononoke, One Piece, CSM, Ghost in the Shell
Also he probably heard those weebs refer to "Fate", FATE, FAAATTTEEEE so much that so he googled exactly the first result which is the original game art, good job lazy ass mfer.
#4 "This sounds anti-woke enough right? Sounds good to me" literaly same as cover but mfer read the title literally
Hellsing, Spy x Family, Angel Cop, Gunsmith Cat
#5 "My cousin was watching this 15 years ago, guess it ain't woke then it ain't woke now"
You're sure this isn't agitprop? Back in 2015 I was trying to spread a Reading with Hillary image that included Zinn, Loewen, and Thomas Frank on it mixed with a couple of Lib books.
Tbh I am always a little jealous of the ability these people have of seeing only what they want to see in media. Suddenly everything cool is on your side, what a treat!
Then I remind myself of how awful it would be to be ultimately closed off to art like that. Imagine the membrane between yourself and the minds of others being truly impermeable, like some kind of artistic agoraphobia. Horrible
At first glance, only Monster makes sense. It is basically what if Charles Manson was a soviet thing with European characteristics. Although, it been awhile since I watch and read it.
Gundam makes sense if you're pro federation/cop and take in face value in the movie(not in the pic) Amuro when he talks shit about revolutionaries doing nothing, but literally on the thing that can change the tractory of history and stops it.
