imagine if you learned that japanese twitter was full of baffling memes about jfk that required a specific context that doesn’t exist anywhere in america
I don’t get it…
ok so shinzo abe, the former prime minister of japan had a reputation in some english speaking anime circles as a man obsessed with japan’s birthrate (which is obviously a very fascist thing to be obsessed with) that started when wild stuff like darling in the franxx got made. there were a couple shows that had major plot threads about people learning the great power of heterosexual marriage and sex and procreation. so people made memes about him secretly sponsoring anime to try and get the youth to fuck without birth control. he was a conservative politician who definitely cared about the birthrate but this became his defining trait among some weebs, and every time an anime came out that had a cute kid in it people accused him of having his fingers on it.
when he died people had a field day with it as it related to this, and the pictured meme is a reference to cowboy bebop. it’s like an in memoriam thing for him, where he’s telling the viewer to have sex in reference to the popular perception of him. naturally if you aren’t in western anime spaces that were constantly making jokes about “imma be real with you 57th prime minister of japan shinzo abe, this will not solve japan’s declining birth rate” every new anime season when a show showed a happy family it would make no sense. this does include japanese people, who seem very confused by this long trail of memes about the former prime minister of japan
i mean darling in the franxx is so absurdly horny what other conclusion can you draw other than it being a government conspiracy
And not just horny to an absurd degree, but horny in the most absurd ways.
Mecha are piloted doggy style
that started when wild stuff like darling in the franxx got made.
I remember seein’ Shinzo Abe birth rate memes as far back as 2014 when this slap banger dropped
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Shinzo Abe sucked and was a piece of shit for a ton of reasons, but if you’re running a country with declining, non-replacement birth rates, being concerned about it isn’t “very fascist.”
It is when you are doing literally anything possible to avoid even considering immigration as a possible solution.
