So on the off chance (it's slim y'all be real) Mother's Basement does see this thread I wanted to make a few things clear: @__MoBlack/1366216596176449537Permalink On twitter.com

I'm an unironic anarcho communist who blogs about anime, okay? I don't expect Geoff to share my political positions because, for the time being anyway, anarchism and communism are not widespread beliefs to hold. This isn't me trying to make MB into something he isn'tOn twitter.com

It's also not me trying to "cancel" MB or anything. First of all cancelling isn't really a thing and if it were, me not liking a few vids he's made isn't "cancelling"Permalink On twitter.com

I also appreciate that rigorously condemning a show like Redo of Healer on political grounds would be a material net loss for Geoff, because the anime ecosystem as it is punishes progressives with harassment, view bombing, etc for challenging the narrativePermalink On twitter.com

But a big part of MY content IS calling out shows like Redo and Shield Hero and the rest, and pointing out how their stans make anime fandom sort of unnavigable for a huge chunk of people. How they reinforce ideas that, as an anarchist communist, think need to be challengedPermalink On twitter.com

From my POV - because MB is the largest openly left leaning anime channel on the internet, whenever I complain about a show, if MB has told people to like it, I get "Well MB is a leftist and he likes X so what's your problem?"Permalink On twitter.com

He's done proper political analysis in the past. I know he understands how Redo is harmful politically, and how people shoving the rape anime in the faces of new fans makes the community worse. Don't wanna talk about it? Fine. But don't make it harder for people like me thenPermalink On twitter.com
