Actually if you read Hetalia Axis Powers you will find that all western nations are anime characters.

The reason why your first thread was locked was because I (a regular user, not a mod) reported it as a duplicate thread. When a thread is reported, a mod gets an alert, and steps in to see if there is indeed a rule being broken. Duplicate threads fall under spam, and spam is not tolerated on Dakka. So the mod could have easily come in, and say, "Alf you're full of gak" and left the thread alone. The mod most likely came in, saw that there was a similar topic already being discussed, and closed your thread. Your second thread was nothing but spam imo. It attempted to create the same thread that had just been locked down, and didn't even bother to link to anything original, just linked to your locked thread. You need to actually post why these things aren't racist (which you attempted to do, but you could use a little polish on your English writing skills).

Also is your tumblr in a direct response to the blogspot site antiwesterncosplay (or w/e the link is in the OP), because it would seem that it is, but instead of talking with us about why it's not racist (something we all agree on I believe), you're sitting here just talking about the mods and their bad decisions.

I'm keeping that for posterity and will quote it out of context as often as possible.

And I think we would now all love to know exactly what you DO think, as it seems a little incoherent to me at the moment (as in I'm not sure if you, Kajune, are pro or anti).

My locked topic contents and my blog name especially content [ if you happen to be able to access it ] already explain it well which side I'm taking on so I'm not explaining it again.

Does anyone make a good decision on a Friday afternoon?

The address you gave for your blog gives a a "Not found" result

Your blog address dose not work. And anyway, I'm not going to trawl through your blog because you don't want to write something here. Have a point to make? Make it here, not make me go somewhere else. Appart from anything else you will have a very disjointed discussion if it is spread across 2 sites.

I THINK what you were saying in your previous posts was that you think westerners are racist and that it is a western characteristic because Hitler was from Europe? If that is a correct understanding it is a blatantly wrong and quite offensive thing to say.

You also make allot of comments about anime being an Asian thing and then ramble about "westerners" thinking they are superior. I can't realy see much other than an ill thought out rant filed with the same racist comments made in the blog we were laughing at.

I seems to have hit someone's nail on the head and HARD too, awful [ for the nail owner ].

Keep up the work, you're hilarious!

I forgot to add that, my topic is about westerners who claim Anime based on them which hightly to be motivated by racist believe, while this topic is about a blogger who claim western cosplayers as racist.

Is there a way to let the admin know what is goind on in here?

I think the argumentation I made in my locked topic are very hard to defeat so the one who got their nail's head hammered by it have to use baseless excuse to report and asked it to be locked, awful.

That explains my balding pate and rotund figure. I'm clearing the humorous fat semi simple dad archetype. Hurray!

Both your other threads were locked because all of the argumentation on this particular topic belongs in one thread, which is this one.

You can copy and paste your text from the other thread into this one.

Am I doing it right?

1. I can tell ythat English is not your first language. I applaud your efforts here. Trying to discuss things in a different language is always difficult. Seriously
2. However I am slightly confused by your posts. Which are you arguing: A. westerners are racists; B westerners are not racists.
Further, what are you supporting that argument with?

Be nice MGS. I think he's having some difficulties trying to get across what he wants to say due to language barriers.

My topic is about the westerners who claim Anime based on them that highly to be motivated by racist believe the same racist believe their ancestor have in the past who enslaved the native american and african which also passed on to the westerners who commit racism in sport, so not about the entire westerner.

And I'm not going to debate about my locked topic in here because the content and title are different.

What he/she said is:

"My point is that Westerners claim Anime is based on them, which is arrogant and racist assumption, whilst the blogger in question is about a blogger who said Westerners dressing as anime characters are inferior, due to their race.

I wish an admin to see this and my locked topic as I believe the mods are not acting correctly in my case.

The argument I made in my (now locked) topic is very strong and difficult to refute, so the people who disagreed with me, instead of trying to refute, reported it and got it locked, which is terrible injustice. "

Which is, frankly, idiotic, accusing 'Westerners' of racism (a racist statement) and being obtuse about how thread duplication is not tolerated on the forum, based on the trollish premise that his point was a fraction different (although joined at the hip in it's stupidity) to the point raised by the blogger in the OP.

So he/she is basically saying 'Westerners assume the anime characters are based on them, because Westerners are arrogant and always believe the world revolves around them and their notions of superiority'.

And then, as you see above, he/she then flies up his/her own ass in a babbling stream of nonsense about killing native americans, slavery and racism in sport.

Kajune, you may want to actually read up on the history of Anime. The Grandfather of Anime, Osamu Tezuka, based his style on Donald Duck and other American art styles(Betty Boop and the ilk). That style has influenced ALL Anime, hence his title.

So stating that Anime is based on Westerners actually does have a bit of merit, as the style is heavily influenced by Western cartoon styling.

Wait, whoever said anime is Western? Some of it is based on western (aka western movies not west as in NATO), but that also has similar themes to a lot of Samurai stuff.

But crossover stuff is normal. After all Ran is just King Lear. And you haven't lived until you've heard King Lear in the original Klingon.

Quite. How terrible we must be. We're not an enlightened people, for example, like the Indonesians, who have NEVER had a history of slavery in their culture.
