“No interference in creative works.” Japanese government proposes new policy for anime and game expansion in the West
Ah, what a righteous retort from the rising sun, these stoic Japanese savants at METI, weary of the West's wretched meddling, unfurl a banner of defiance: a grand policy to swell their anime, manga, and game empires to 20 trillion yen overseas by 2033, armoured by five ironclad edicts, chief among them "no interference in creative works," a bulwark against the tyrannical touch of censors and their left-wing lunacy. How the decadent Occident has defiled these arts; suffusing sagas with simpering diversity quotas, gutting grit for "inclusivity" sermons, and bowdlerizing blades into butter knives under the guise of "progressive" purity, all while payment overlords throttle the bold and the bawdy. Nay, Japan spurns such serpentine strings: direct aid to daring creators, untrammelled expression, investments in IPs and fandoms unbound, scorning the South Korean shadow for their own unyielding stride. A feast of freedom, this: let the West's woke whelps wail as the East eclipses their emasculated epics.
