average Cis Gamer Bro (top 1% poster on r/darksouls): "sure dark souls 1 had a lot of ambiguity surrounding Gwyndolin's gender, and 'guy raised as a girl' is the stereotypical backstory for Totally Not A Trans Woman Haha Seriously You Guyssss video game characters like Bridget, but dark souls 3 doubles down on masculine pronouns and even has Yorshka referring to Gwyndolin as a 'brother'. maybe there really was just some weird feminine-coded stuff going on with moon magic and Gwyndolin literally is a detransitioned cis man as the canon text suggests."

barista who knew about Bloodborne Kart back before it became a meme (criticizes Vaati for "oversimplifying" his lore videos): "okay so Miyazaki is a cis man who accidentally wrote a trans woman and is too stupid to realize it and tried backtracking later, many such cases. Yorshka is a terf and her 'brother' has C cups in a corset. furthermore,"

"fandom blogger" with commissioned art of their OC as a profile picture (can and will explain Homestuck lore at the drop of a hat): "ummmm i think you're BOTH reaching here, obviously the 'guy raised as a girl' backstory was true but in the Woke way and he's a trans man"

My hot take is that I feel like “ghibli films are pro Japanese imperialism” is a lazy jab that grabs at a few soft spots in the oeuvre to make the cheapest most rhetorically damaging shot it can, and that an honest analysis would generally struggle to say even the most problematic of the movies like The Wind Rises come out of the wash with a positive opinion of imperial Japan. My hotter take is that if you rigorously pull at the threads where the nominally anti-war films thematically collapse, you’ll find the issue isn’t a support of Japanese Imperialism but a lack of a rigorous critique of industrial civilization.
