Manga also teaches creativity : artists experiment with styles, narratives, and emotions in ways that break traditional rules. Finally, manga shows that popular culture can be meaningful. Something can be fun and still be profound. #empathy #creativity

What manga teaches the world is empathy. It shows diverse characters, cultures, and worlds, helping readers understand perspectives different from their own.

Many manga series also explore themes like identity, trauma, friendship, and resilience. These topics matter, and manga communicates them in a unique and accessible way. #artform #storytelling

It can express complex emotions and social issues with both visuals and text. It influences fashion, art, cinema, and even international culture. Thus, in 1985, in The Hong Kong Cop, Jackie Chan can be seen dressing up as Arale, the main character in the manga Dr. Slump.

Another reason may be generational: younger Western audiences increasingly appreciate anime and manga, challenging old stereotypes. As more people grow up with manga, the respect for it grows too. Manga should be respected because it is a powerful way to tell stories. #generationalchange #evolution

This shows that respect comes from understanding how broad and rich a medium can be. One reason for these differences is history. In Japan, manga developed after World War II as a major storytelling form, while in the West, comics stayed associated with superheroes and children for a longer time.

There are manga about business, cooking, romance, history, and even philosophy. Because of this diversity, manga has become a respected cultural form. Adults reading manga in public is completely normal, and artists are recognised for their work.

But popularity does not mean lack of depth. Pop culture can be emotional, political, and creative. The problem is not the content but the prejudice against what young people enjoy. Japan’s attitude toward manga is very different. In Japan, manga is not only for children, but for people of all ages.

This lack of respect is similar to attitudes toward pop music or esports. When something becomes popular with young people, critics often label it as low culture. It does not matter whether it is BTS, NSYNC, or a major gaming tournament, many adults still see these things as superficial.

This created a hierarchy where comics were viewed as simple entertainment rather than meaningful art. Even when graphic novels became more sophisticated, the old stigma remained, making it difficult for critics to take them seriously. #popculturebias #culturalhierarchy

Even with advanced technology, ethical concerns and consent remain crucial. Human empathy, moral judgment, and accountability cannot be fully replaced by code or artificial personalities, no matter how realistic they seem. #EthicalAI #HumanValue

As technology improves, the line between virtual and human idols may blur. Fans might form emotional attachments to virtual idols as if they were human, potentially forgetting that these characters have no real autonomy. #FutureTech #VirtualFame

If virtual idols cannot give or refuse consent, serious ethical questions arise. Who decides what they “say” or “do”? Is it right to profit from a character who cannot express true choice or feelings? #AIethics #DigitalRights

Some argue virtual idols avoid consent issues because they are not real. But humans design their actions, voices, and appearances, which means someone is always controlling and potentially exploiting them for profit. #ConsentMatters #DigitalEthics

Virtual idols do not age, get tired, or make mistakes, making them endlessly available for fans. Human idols have limits, need rest, and face personal struggles, which can make fans connect with them on a deeper, emotional level. #IdolCulture

Overall, Japan’s action against CEDAW shows the tension between international human rights values and national traditions. It is a clear example of how the state can defend patriarchal systems, even in the face of global pressure for gender equality. #UN #CEDAW #PatriarchyInJapan

Many people, both in Japan and abroad, criticized this decision. They argued that equality should also apply to the royal family, and that stopping funding to CEDAW sends a negative message about Japan’s commitment to women’s rights. #WomensRights #Equality #GlobalIssues

This situation highlights how deeply patriarchy is still rooted in Japan. The idea that only men can inherit the throne reflects long-standing gender norms that continue to shape society. Even when international institutions encourage change, the state often protects these traditions. #Patriarchy
November 13, 2025 at 2:47 AM
The Japanese government reacted strongly, saying that royal succession is a national matter and not something international organizations should interfere with. By stopping the funding, Japan showed that it rejects outside pressure on its traditional systems. #RoyalFamily #GenderEquality #Politics
