In an interview that dates from a few years back (), Miyazaki not only criticized Hollywood...

>“If someone is the enemy, it’s okay to kill endless numbers of them,” he continued. “Lord of the Rings is like that.
Did he watch the lord of the rings? Sauron is basically the fantasy equivalent of the fucking devil. If he and his armies aren't defeated the world will literally burn. What a retard.
Does he have the same to say about nationalistically tinged anime?

He's right.
One of the core fantasy concepts is a race(s) of bad guys that the protagonists kill indiscriminately with no moral qualms.
That you can't draw the parallels between that and colonization and imperialism is really on you.

>I dislike the United States that dropped the nuclear bombs and does not regret it.
I wonder how he views Nanking when his country doesn't even acknowledge it among other war crimes. Where was the distinction between enemies and civilians there?

>WAGGGHHHH people died in Afghanistan Africa and Asia thanks to racists.

>Why yes I do belong to one of the most racist countries ever in existence how could you tell.

This guy sounds like a retard, not getting you can create a fantasy setting where everyone is created specifically to kill you (the orcs in LOTR were bread SPECIFICALLY for war there were no civillians)

Are there even civilian orcs?

>exclusively wears western clothing
>industry built on a western invention
>can't even fathom LotR's themes
>cries about burgers

Old man Miyazaki is a crazy senile bastard but he's loveable despite his nonsense obsessions.
Like all old farts, he just doesn't understand how other people can be proud and honorable in things that one isn't personally proud of.

To be fair, he probably despises Japan as well.

>Americans basically completely reshaped Japan Americanizing it beyond recognition
and thats a good thing
we probably wouldn't be on this board right now if that weren't the case

Not sorry for bombing you. It wasn’t a good thing to do, but it was necessary. maybe if you savage islanders weren’t impaling babies on spikes and raping entire cities to death we wouldn’t have had to. But you warmongering fucks wouldn’t surrender unless we burnt and salted every inch of the shitty barren rocks you called an empire. Thankfully, we found a compromise. You should be thanking us.
