    Controversial among weebs and white racists maybe. I can’t find any prominent Japanese publication or talking head decrying the decision.

    The article tries to weasel its way out by saying “inside and outside of Japan” but it seems to be mostly people writing in English on Instagram who are riled up about it.

      Pretending Japan isn’t still incredibly xenophobic is quite the hill to die on.

        Why are you putting words in my mouth you weirdo.

        Either give me a source that has a prominent Japanese publication or a talking head decrying the decision or stay put.

      I wonder what percentage of the people writing in English about it are kids and creepy guys who use their alt account to post about being an Anime character stuck in a white person’s body.
