I know this will be an inexhaustive list, but Asami Tano (Sarah in Love Live!! Sunshine, Saki in Zombieland Saga, Mitsuru Kirijo from the Persona 3/Persona 4 Arena musicals, Riko from the Kuroko no Basket stage plays) also posted on Instagram in support of Black Lives Matter.

No, Suetsugu-san, at its core, it's because humans try to differentiate themselves from one another and then, depending on where you live in the world, praising certain qualities or abilities over others. Even if we all had homogenous physical traits, humans would still find some way to differentiate between themselves and would praise certain aspects over others. We might value those that can run fast, cook better or be able to sing on key over those that can't do any of these things well. It goes back to the need to feel special and equating that aspect as having more value than those who can't do the same thing. And I'm not sure if mankind really wants to find a happy medium solution to this because it would not only change a lot of aspects of this world but would force people to look at themselves and their world in a completely different light. It's much easier to continue existing in this structure now than it would be to treat others and yourself equally with compassion. |

ANN can we focus on Anime, Gaming news?
I don't care about political stuff. Also, if singers, and voice actors/actress is going to do this. Couldn't they also support Hong Kong Protest? Or any other stuff? This is so hypocrite! |

What makes you think they aren't? And no-one's obliged to take part in every protest out there. If you go to the grocery store, do you go to every grocery store in town?... And besides, I fail to see how Trump's rhetoric and oppression of demonstrators and free speech differs from those of China's. Fortunately, very few official instances in USA are actually taking a note of his so called 'advice'. Hopefully we get some normalcy after November.. |

Just shut up ANN has covered other political things before this and I haven’t seen you complain before which first off this isn’t political it’s about Black peoples lives and how they’re treated because of the color of their skin. The fact that you think supporting Black Lives is being political and that you don’t care speaks volumes as the type of person you are and part of the problem. |

Sry but aren't u doing the same basically both the protest of #Blacklivesmatter and the hongkong protets are at its core against opression. The fact that u think the hongkong protets are jmus political protests nothing more shows ur ignorance. I'm also poc so i know how people look at me and how i get treated because of it even here in Germany its not that different people are afraid and think im intimidating. Should be trump held Accountable for his Racist veiws and how he trhew america at its current stat OF COURSE. But saying the hongkong people arent fighting against oppression thats not right mate u should acknowledge that the hongkong people are also fighting for a just world, but yeah we have seen the stand of america concerning HONGKONG in general jus saying NBA and their buttkissing for China POOH. :/ Also leaving this here for anyone saying black people have it hard in japan the same as usa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o5HElKKK4Y Look at the first and at his words how he feels in japan "I'm a free man" the feeling black people will probably never get from the shiethole Racist Country that USA is, of course Japan also have some problems but never ever on the same level as friggin trigger fire killing USA killing blacks very day. #BLACKLIVESMATTER USA treat black people with respect they helped build the country and ur treating them like dogshiet FCK TRUMP |

Depends if her work is published in China and if her or her publisher want to risk offending that market. It's easier to voice support for something if it wont affect you one way or another. |

I never once said that the Hong Kong protest don’t matter my crux of the argument is that they consider human lives political and when it’s brought up they have no interest in it because to them that falls into politics. I will admit I should have made my point clearer by also including the people of Hong Kong and the people apart of the protest so I will say that was ignorant on my part. But for me a half Black half Hispanic man when I see someone say something along the lines of thats political when it comes to talking about peoples lives it pisses me off. I was in the military for part of my life I was stationed in Okinawa for a few years when ever we would get time off I would go eat at local restaurants or do some shopping and some of those places would treat me like they did back in Texas. They would either not let me in or have an employee follow me around just because the color of my skin so my experience with that part of Japan left a bad taste in my mouth but seeing this that there are people there who genuinely care and speak up it’s amazing. Also I would like to mention the amount sheer blatant racism that is in the US military is unbelievable the amount of shit myself and others had to deal with and were told it’s military humor you’ll get used to it is so unbelievable. |

I'm sorry to break this to you, but this is how the world views America. This has been true in Japan for a long while -- there's a reason why the US was a bad guy in everything from Astro Boy to Akira, and it's going to get worse as long as this is going on. You don't want to see anime and manga creators bashing the US? Work to change it into something they can admire rather than telling them to shut up and demanding that ANN ignore what they say. |

Imagine thinking “Don’t kill black people” is a political stance. |

Then by all means go somewhere else. ANN has always covered more than just simply anime and manga. Any sort of topic in the umbrella of the fandom has been covered and will continue to be. Last time I checked Yuki Suetsugu being a manga creator certainly falls under that umbrella. Moving on. Let's keep this civil and forgo insults which will not be tolerated. Please stay on topic as well which is the more specific topic of the mangaka personally. If you wish to discuss the overall topic there are other threads for that. We don't need to have the same posts and arguments in every thread related to the topic please. Last edited by Redbeard 101 on Mon Jun 08, 2020 12:29 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Japan's dislike for America has nothing to do with how black people are treated in the country. Japan doesn't exactly treat black people well themselves. Japan's issues with America are an entirely different topic. |

Not really. Unlike the Hong Kong protests, there is no financial consequences for supporting the Black lives matter protests. This is why more people are vocal about it, which includes game companies, tv networks, etc, because they don't have to fear China's retaliation. Basketball player Lebron James, pretty much talked against the protests, but now he's supporting this movement. It is hypocritical, people pick and choose their battles, if there were financial consequences to supporting the blm movement, it would be just like the Hong Kong protests.
Exactly what makes people so hypocrtical, picking and choosing what to support, based on consequences. It feels almost pathetic seeing people who were quiet during the Hong Kong protests, now voice their opinion, because there aren't consequences. |
