puellarum generatio 3,628 Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 isn't snk anti-semitic no ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lugoose 11,398 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 no ? For instance, the character called Dot Pixis is based on general Yoshifuru Akiyama, a famous war criminal during the occupation of Korea who Attack on Titan’s writer, Hajime Isayama, called “frugal and respectable†on his twitter account. Popular character Mikasa Ackerman is named after a warship in the Russo-Japanese war, a war over which power would violently occupy Korea, according to the show’s own damn official guidebook (Which I cannot link to because it’s a book) and wikia page. In a separate reply to this post, a friend of mine has also noted that the character called Erwin Smith is named after a Nazi called Erwin Rommel who, despite occasionally defying orders he deemed “unjustâ€, was still a fucking Nazi and still took part in the Holocaust. I did find a source for this albeit not the best one. But it should also be in the official handbook as Outside Kou apparently claims that the origins of characters’ names are in that book. And if you don’t find it bad enough that these characters are designed to be nods to imperialist/nazi history, then what ought to convince you the show should be boycotted is that it isn’t for shits and giggles. Hajime Isayama actually does support Imperialism. He named and designed those characters as homages to nazis and war criminals for a reason. x x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachy. 1,800 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 isayama is still a weirdo IMO so i wouldn't be surprised if there's a hidden agenda behind his work There's no hidden agenda? It's literally about an oppressed group of people fighting for their freedom. It takes inspiration from ww2 however it is far from anti semantic. All the characters that were supposedly inspired by Jewish people are represented in a good light and as human beings, them being turned into titans was to a take on the 'who is the monster and who is the man' theme that is seen in a lot of stories.. Just because characters are named after German names (that Erwin thing was literally a reach with no evidence) doesn't mean isayama supports hitler and mikasa being named after a battleship was just to represent her power. It's clear that you and that memoru person haven't read the manga, or if you have you've been reading it with the protagonist as the villains of the story.

peachy. 1,800 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 yet isayama has openly shown support for a war ''hero'' I'm not going to argue about whether or not he supported the war hero because he's said some imperialistic shit in the past, however I don't think snk is anti semitic for the reasons I listed earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
