so there are Japanese people who have occupied a military base and redeclared Japanese sovereignty. Surely this Japanese-led act of resistance will be portrayed positively by the narrativePermalink On twitter.com
-
Adventurism is a legit thing leftist groups should beware of but Code Geass has not read MaoPermalink On twitter.com
-
These new Japanese guys are backed by the Chinese federation, canonical communists, which makes them the good guys.Permalink On twitter.com
-
I wonder if Code Geass has Dengists. But in a world like Code Geass I suppose the Marxist position would be critical support against the massive, royalist, capitaist slave society that owns 1/3 of the world I'm getting sidetrackedPermalink On twitter.com
-
So Suzaku broke the rules ONE time and he's running around crying about it? lmaoPermalink On twitter.com
-
Suzaku hasn't stopped calling Japanese people "elevens"?Permalink On twitter.com

low-key forgot you existed sorry.... what's-her-facePermalink On twitter.com

Kristie?Permalink On twitter.com
-
She realizes she cannot make systemic change from her position in the empire. Perhaps it's time to try something more... revolutionary? man can dreamPermalink On twitter.com

Raghava's here!Permalink On twitter.com

>the Japanese-led act of resistance was not positively portrayed by the narrativePermalink On twitter.com

Lelouch says he won't work with the new Japan because they're a client state of the Chinese federation. He says "they'd get a new master but nothing would fundamentally change" The show is directly equating communism and settler-colonialist capitalist imperialism which... no?Permalink On twitter.com
-
Don't do that. Don't compare things that are not alikePermalink On twitter.com
-
Rag and I were talking about communism we got distracted from the fact that Lelouch wants to create a new country instead of liberating Japan. Peak, large cranium centrism on display rnPermalink On twitter.com
-
not to be a nationalist on main but it's weird that the show portrays national liberation and defeating colonialism as not the same thing? Lelouch goes on this whole tangent about how they need to beat Britannia themselves and it's like well yeah that's what liberation meansPermalink On twitter.com
-
This is just an ego trip dude literally wants a "United States of Lelouch" instead of just doing full communismPermalink On twitter.com
-
not to be redundant but Lelouch basically says "We're not going to bring back Japan. We're making MY country based entirely around me" which has never happened in everPermalink On twitter.com
-
again - she's gay for HER??Permalink On twitter.com
-
this ship is like "slurs after sex 🥺🥺🥰🥰🥰"Permalink On twitter.com
-
Raghava: "this is every white lib dating a conservative"Permalink On twitter.com
-
it has shield like star warPermalink On twitter.com
-
the robots are so cool 😶Permalink On twitter.com
-
completely unrelated but apparently Ronald Reagan tried to kill Fidel Castro 197 times and only one of them lived to see the iPhonePermalink On twitter.com
-
see I'd watch an anime about thatPermalink On twitter.com
-
Euphemia: "I'm no good compared to my brother or sister" Euphemia's sister two episodes ago: "Discrimination against the *Numbers* is national policy."Permalink On twitter.com
-
Code Geass might not be entirely un-self aware but it's not nearly self aware enough for what's happening rnPermalink On twitter.com
-
Nina: "I'm ugly" nah you're fine just stop saying slursPermalink On twitter.com
-
NINA IS ACTIVELY BEING RACIST IN THIS VERY CONVERSATIONPermalink On twitter.com
-
Worst part is she's being racist against Suzaku so now I have to defend himPermalink On twitter.com
-
To recap: Euphemia: *is anti-racist* Nina: "Wow your so pretty too bad your Japanese friend is gross and scary" Euphemia: "Nothing wrong here :)"Permalink On twitter.com
-
Suzaku: "Freedom has to come the right way" what way? every way is illegal. you enforce the lawPermalink On twitter.com
-
they just... crossed it out?Permalink On twitter.com
-
She *commands* Suzaku to love her? okay okay she she COMMANDS Suzaku to love her? she commands SUZAKU to love her?Permalink On twitter.com
-
why is this happening right now on the battlefieldPermalink On twitter.com
-
hot tip, being white and being romantically attracted to non-white people does not make you not racist especially if you keep racist company fetishization is also racismPermalink On twitter.com
-
I'm just having a hard time to wrap my head around what thinking went behind the writing decisions herePermalink On twitter.com
-
Euphemia will never be a good person, let alone the Perfect Person, and the show needs to stop trying to make me think otherwise. Does Code Geass believe Euphemia have flaws? She has them. Does the show agree?Permalink On twitter.com
-
*hasPermalink On twitter.com
-
So why is Lelouch siding with Suzaku and the Britannians in this conflict here?Permalink On twitter.com
-
he's just working with Suzaku now or specifically he's collaborating with Britannian to sabotage every revolutionary movement that isn't his own so anyway Lelouch is the worst kind of DSA guyPermalink On twitter.com
-
it hurts but in a fun wayPermalink On twitter.com
-
So in the real world, the Black Knights collaborating with Britannia to suppress an attempt at national sovereignty would be a scandal that sinks the entire org. But in Code Geass land it makes them more popular and respected because reasonsPermalink On twitter.com
-
And the worst part is this Chinese Federation backed attempt isn't wrong. Gaining material support and solidarity from other nations can sometimes be helpful to national liberation efforts. So... what's Zero's point herePermalink On twitter.com
-
maybe if I keep yelling at the show it will do the specific things I want instead of whatever this isPermalink On twitter.com

Episode 21!!!!!!!!!Permalink On twitter.com

school festival? now I'm just insultedPermalink On twitter.com

"Even Elevens can move up in this world! Just look at Suzaku Kururugi" I ain't ever SEEN a man this colonized. Help himPermalink On twitter.com
-
guy who's always wrong has started to agree with Zero and is now "sometimes correct"On twitter.com
-
she's a whole wife now. Does Code Geass think "wife" is a default female personality trait?Permalink On twitter.com
-
btw he's not doing anything wrong it's the writing that's that's bad Mo: "Raghava stop writing a better show" Rag: "It's not hard"Permalink On twitter.com
-
Apparently segregation exists in Britannian schools. And to be honest it's a nice detail. But the show has proven it has no idea what to do with that at allPermalink On twitter.com
-
"the only person I'll take orders from is Zero" hahaPermalink On twitter.com

C2 is fun she wants pizza give her pizza LuluPermalink On twitter.com

"Isn't it weird how this scene doesn't pass the Bechdel test?"Permalink On twitter.com

Suzaku is a psy op Suzaku is the Democratic Party Suzaku is horse MLK from Sorry to Bother You losing itPermalink On twitter.com

He's a diversity token that power uses to convince the powerless they can have something tooPermalink On twitter.com

she just wanted pizza 😭Permalink On twitter.com
-
So Euphemia establishes, around Mt. Fuji, a special administrative zone where there are equal rights and stuff, which is just that's not liberation that's just an open air prison (Rag's words) also LOOK AT HOW HORRIFIED NINA IS ABOUT EQUAL RIGHTSPermalink On twitter.com
-
when brown ppl exist in ur neighborhoodPermalink On twitter.com
-
so to be clear the reason why we're upset over this is because settler-colonial projects do this all the time, where there are zones of more equal protection that legimtize exploitationPermalink On twitter.com
-
Easy example: in the US cities in the north that outlawed segregation didn't fix segregation in the south. In fact the fact that people could move was used as an excuse to keep things the way they werePermalink On twitter.com
-
This is also why we insist on calling Euphemia, a fictional monarch, racist. Because Code Geass is quite similar to things that have and do exist, and it's a good opportunity to think about themPermalink On twitter.com

this is as good a place as any to end the thread I think. It's getting a little long and I don't think I was at my best tonight. But hopefully it was fun and some useful ideas came acrossPermalink On twitter.com
