The more I watch and research BNA: Brand New Animal, the more I realise I literally cannot write about its themes without talking about social justice

This might sound bad of me, but in recent years I& #39;ve been kinda avoiding social justice as a topic of thematic analysis for anime because anime fans tend to be so toxic about it... I end up complacently thinking, "I& #39;ll leave it to someone else to unpack"

But with BNA, if I didn& #39;t mention such things it would obviously miss the major themes, so I can& #39;t cowardly skirt around it.

please have faith that I don& #39;t bring up any particular topic for the sake of starting drama or forcing my personal worldview onto other people :& #39;))))

everyone is free to make up their own minds on things, just don& #39;t spread hate

for clarification, the imagery is this level of blatant

and one of the inspirations that Nakashima cites is the 2013 American film The Immigrant https://twitter.com/CanipaShow/status/1264762448243908608?s=19">https://twitter.com/CanipaSho...

And there& #39;s this. yeah. https://twitter.com/frog_kun/status/1264736708177784833?s=19">https://twitter.com/frog_kun/...
