Japan no longer exists, seven years after its annexation, so what sort of alliance are you even talking about? Zero was also defeated and (believed to be) killed at the end of the first season. That option's no longer available either. All the Japanese immigrants can do to help Europe is provide a bit of cheap foreign manpower. Which is basically what's going on. Quote:
Democracy and Equality are wonderful abstract concepts but the physical reality often doesn't live up to them. Even in the real world, Revolutionary France was always talking about Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. But did they actually treat everyone (of every nation, every social class and every race) equally? No, not at all. Perhaps you should read up on the darker side of democratic and republican governments before having such expectations of democracies actually being the untarnished "good guys" by default. Quote:
Fiction isn't the problem here, especially since Akito actually has Japanese characters say they don't even care about the nation of Japan. Was it an European crowd who cut Yukiya's hand? No, it was a Japanese group. And he blew them up, regardless of sharing their nationality. It's not as one-sided as you want to believe. Quote:
All the director is doing is taking an already established fact, that the Japanese in Code Geass are a currently stateless nationality in a broken world, and facing some of the potential consequences of that situation in the context of a tragic drama. Perhaps you wanted a different take, full of joy and acceptance or whatever, but that's just personal preference. Quote:

Because of various prejudices and a general fear of what's different or unknown. Why do people become racist to begin with? We know enough to tell Code Geass Europe isn't in good shape. There are various signs of this in both episodes, some subtle and others blatant. But it's okay, I'm going to leave things at this level rather than get into another endless argument.

did I say I wanted a joyful portrayal no, but just portraying Japanese being broken at every turn, that is just not necessary, we get it, don't need to be hammered over the head with it.
Every democracy has a dark side, but yet did they ever look at Japan's democracy dark side, no, even though Kyoto house obviously weren't saints. Yet they feel the need to portray everywhere else that they somehow can't do anything right. Like to see them apply that to their country. Since they seem to change prime minster enough times in the last 20 years. The japs are pretty much treated like how the Jews were in, ghettos camps, massacres etc. That's how the portray it, hard not to make comparisons there when they seem to want to allude to it. Hey immigrants can treat people like crap as well, some have no respect for the culture and people of countries they immigrant to, some just want to live of benefits, or get free healthcare, . So that ain't as one side as you make it out to be. Did I say they have no right to look at out culture no, but they sure like to portray all the negatives of the west all the time that's for sure. That's what they are doing with Akito in my view, there are some positives as well, which they seem to be ignoring i feel. did I say it was one sided no, but they seem to portray it as that for the most part in Akito. Since they seem to be hell-bent on showing all the negatives most of the time. When do they do that with their own country, not often as they do for the west. I mean what did Japan do to the EU and it's people, part from the refugee problem, and some Sakuradite business, that's enough to piss nearly everyone off, a few yes, but most, I doubt it. Did I say democracy was prefect no, but how is eu any different from Britannia, I mean who are suppose to be the villains here, as the eu comes off as bad as Britannia, that just ain't good writing. I respect your views, I wasn't looking to offend you, but that is just how I view Akito. they just seem to want to go on about how bad it is for the japs, when they don't need to, do they view the eu that bad of a place, yeah it has it's flaws, but it has it's good points, which I feel they don't seem to care to show. It just ain't necessary, that's all I am saying, as it feels gratuitous to me. But of course if it doesn't to you that's fine. Let's leave it at that. |

Newsflash: It's not too far off from how poor minorities, refugees, and Roma in Europe are treated. Try visiting parts of Europe where they're common. Get out of your little bubbles and stop getting butthurt. Cracks me up that when racial stereotypes of minorities are used in tv shows and movies, no one bats an eye. Create a fictitious world where an actual refugee group is treated like crap, sorta like they are in Europe, and everyone loses their minds!! Some people need to find real things to get mad about. |

That's because he's geassed to think he's someone else. Then again we're probably being trolled & it isn't even Lelouch in the first place. Well, I think it's Lulu, but that's just me.

Yup, Suzaku's displeasure doesn't seem to be misplaced. That seems to be contempt for Kingsly that he has. Who else will he hate besides Lulu?

since Japan loves to ignore how they treat the burakumin, how they push young people very hard at times, how they treat Koreans who live in japan, How their politicians keep getting in scandals and can hardly sort out their economic problems for the last twenty years. you don't like that, grow up yourself. They choose to touch on reality issues, do it in the way they do it, it's like the ask for it. Yes the make generalizations about the west all the time, considering how they love to play the USA as gun ho crazy people at times, Europeans as Nazi's etc. About the romas thing you mentioned. Do you see those people in Akito, their suffering, or any other groups of refugees or minorities group suffering in Akito, no you don't never, none of these people are in Akito, you don't see their suffering do you? Just the japs suffering. Why don't the writers and director portray that eh, how horrible the eu is to those people. That would obviously be a good reflection of the eu as you say it is. Seems to me the director and writers are living in a bubble as well. Like their the only country in Code Geass to lose their homeland, how about the other number areas they never show in Code Geass. that's my problem here, it's just the japs who suffer in Code Geass world, no one else in comparison to japan has suffered more. If you have a problem with how I feel, then nothing I say is going to change that is it? But don't tell me I don't know how things are in the real world, I know more than enough thank you. Hell the teaser for the next episode has Leila and her group dressed up as roma people, wonder what they would think of that. In fact Code Geass as whole is most racist towards the Japanese themselves, since they seem to be fight themselves more often than not, how they need a white person to lead them or be there for them. They can't seem to even unite without a Britannian leading them. Seems to be some jap hating stuff on the creators part as well. hell Britannia acts a bit like imperial Japan at times, more irony there. |

It's a fictitious world with a fictitious setting. There is no anti-white narrative being painted here, you're just overreacting. Quote:

I can assure you Americans in anime shows and Americans in Japanese dramas are given far better representation than Asian Americans in Hollywood who are under constant pressure to play stereotyped roles. And they don't categorize Europeans as Nazi's, do you even watch Japanese shows? Have you ever met =Japanese people? They romanticize Europe. France, Italy, UK, and yes, even Germany. You really should try to expand your perspective because you're speaking from a gravely misinformed one. But again--this is a fictitious world with a fictitious setting. Sunrise chose to simulate a bipolar world similar to what we had during the Cold War, only with more conflicts. Quote:
Are you trolling or serious? Because the way you're ranting, you sound like you genuinely believe Sunrise is trying to tell the world the Japanese people don't have a country of their own and are persecuted refugees. People like you seem to have no problem with the stereotypes against minorities in Hollywood, but they'll try and dig around for examples of racism against whites like in this case. If you're serious, I'm going to say it seems like you have trouble separating fact from fiction. It seems to boil down to you claiming there's anti-white racism. Again, lose the "No you, ____" (insert whatever I say) comebacks where they're not warranted. I'm not even going to bother to reply to the rest because it's gobbledegook Last edited by zeth006; 2014-01-01 at 06:36. |

about raciest -> just look at real world war refugee treatment
many countries does not even allowed them have legal work or even to them to leave their camp for raciest treatment reason..... ...can you give me sound reason for white and black raciest treatment? about Lelouch... no wonder EU lost at first half of second season.... it won't be easy to defeat both brain and brawn. though it will be interesting to see how Akito older brother treat them I guess his geass will be useless on Suzaku since he already have Live geass on him. and talking about Live geass... I guess it will be interesting to see Live geass vs Die geass Quote:
and they didn't just betray Lelouch but whole UFN they sold him and UFN to retake Japan + b***h as bonus (I doubt UFN know about their secret deal when they joined Ougi to attack Lelouch) Last edited by Gundamx; 2014-01-01 at 09:29. |
