I am sick and tired of mangas and animes that don’t lean into promoting progressive causes. That is why I have established this thread exclusively for the discussion of anime with:
**NO male power fantasies like cowboys, samurai, or professional fighters
**NO openly racist themes like sombrero-shaped space colonies or whatever the hell is going on in DragonBall Z
**NO openly pro-Israel rhetoric like in Superbook
**NO phallocentric motifs like swords, guns, sword-guns, or arms that turn into swords/guns
**ABSOLUTELY NO objectifying women by presenting them as sexual objects

OK GBS, tell me about your favorite socially responsible anime.

Dandadan is good. The first episode has one uncomfortable creepy part in it but the rest is good and the OP slaps.

It's honestly very good but lol

it's largely about a teenager's stolen and cursed genitals and does not satisfy the op's requirements

The OP said no phallocentric motifs. Dandadan meets that requirement by having a male character get their junk magically stolen by a ghost granny with super speed powers and the granny is voiced by Rita Repulsa from the Power Rangers.

There was Sign of Affection which was about a deaf college girl and her man troubles. I think acknowledging people with disabilities is woke?

I suppose you'll argue that the rape aliens technically only viewed the main female character as a necessary procreative object rather than a sexual one.

Delicious in Dungeon? The main cast has at least two autistic people in it. I guess swords, but come on it’s medieval times.

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth is airing this season and is about pushing forward the theory of the earth revolving around the sun during the middle ages while the Church tries to kill everyone. Going against christians is probably also woke

I'm not gonna argue jack poo poo about that because that was the one part I mentioned in the first episode that sucked rear end and was bad. Thankfully it doesn't last long at all and the rest of the show after that is great and very silly. Hell you can fast-forward through the worst bits of it and not miss anything.

There's a Legend of Koizumi sequel manga that has Anime Trump AND Anime Putin in it that's pretty fuckin' funny. I think it's still running but not a lot of chapters are translated in English, and that is a loving crime imho.

Putin is basically Jiren from DB Super. You might remember Jiren as the gray guy from that one MSPaint pic that C-SPAM posters love to post in every thread. With the broom handle.

Excuse me, that isn’t Buu. That’s the Grand Supreme Kai, who was absorbed by Buu, but awakened inside Buu’s body thanks to Galactic Patrol hypnotists so he could seal away Moro again. :colbert:

So yes I guess he’s technically “woke”
