( No Title )
this just in, ‘death note’ was not biting social commentary, it was total off the wall fantasy because japanese people are innocent and pure, incapable of hubris or cruelty
you can tell their minds are different because of the shape of their eyes no i can’t do this i’m sorry i can’t even say this racist shit sarcastically
stop reblogging this it’s racist as fuck
the writer knew exactly the fuck what he was doing, writing about a socially elite boy deciding he had the right to judge and execute people sight unseen, you think he never met people like that, to be able to write about it?
don’t infantilize non-white art and cultures by pretending only whites have the full range of human flaws, jfc
#yes this #idk if netflix death note will be any good or not #but light was a MASSIVELY PRIVILEGED japanese boy in japan #his house is huge #he has his own spacious room #his dad is chief of police #he’s an honor student #he’s beyond social reproach in every possible level #and that’s the point #there’s a reason why the good guy L is an autistic mess who doesn’t even sit right #he’d be a complete pariah in japan #who only gets to not be ostracized by the staff in college due to his connections #and THAT’S THE POINT
