hello weary traveller. please won’t you sit amd rest a while
What are the ‘notes’ that appeal to her? Is it the setting, the art style, the story, or a mix?
Please don’t think I’m being unserious, but how about Pokemon? Much more age appropriate than Demon Slayer and ties into the games. It hits the ‘adventure’ note, has battling and the current series, Horizons, has a female protagonist, if that’s important to her.
Good luck finding something!

No we don’t, we think it’s crass and funny
We’re not talking coolaid here. We’re talking that the white man is never going to respect anyone who sells out. “I’m one of the cool ones” is the companion piece to a white guy’s “I have a black friend”.
It may feel cool to shit on mainlanders and call President Xi ‘Xinnie the Pooh’, but all that slinging that shit around online really does is validate the very real and very racist swathes of the West who don’t discern a difference between people in Asia, or think that what’s acceptable to apply to a prominent Asian figure is acceptable to apply to all Asians.
Case in point is Uncle Roger, who’s a Malaysian Chinese, but makes the same kind of XJP jokes that you see on Reddit. Didn’t stop him from getting smacked in the face by a racist dog on the streets of London.
Why did you just say ‘we hate’ twice idgi
Hey I wrote that post. The person I was responding to said Winnie is not allowed in the PRC at all, which is false. I then went on to acknowledge that Winnie is censored in other contexts, especially online. Please represent the conversation accurately.
Holy shit can’t even spell the man’s name right. Quick. Without looking at Wikipedia, what’s Xi (Jin)ping’s family name?
Old mate here’s drank too much “I’m one of the cool ones” juice
Yeh nah I’m done. I’m gunna go watch tv thanms
I wish sh.itjust.works a very happy
eat a brick
Yeh I know, thanks for the reminder though. I’m keeping in mind the friends following along at home, who may be undecided about this kind of stuff, and trying to put forward a relatively sourced, evidential argument for them, not necessarily goat. I myself was swayed by lurking on forums like this. I’m not nearly as good as other comrades but it’s honest work.
G “China banned Winnie”
R “No they didn’t and here’s evidence”
G “Oh I’ll choose to ignore that”
G “The USA doesn’t censor online political speech”
R “Yes they do and here’s a directly relevant example to our discussion from the self proclaimed ‘front page of the internet’”
G “Oh you’re just a shit posting community that doesn’t count”
You completely cave from every point in the face of scrutiny. Do you have any shame? You retreat every time and just throw out another glib line. Thanks for the thought dulling discussions mate.
Taking a break from this to eat dinner. I’ll draft something up after that, since, yes, the USA does ban memes. Why do you think r/cth was removed, precipitating us to move to Hexbear? ‘Slaveowners should be killed’ meme is basically about the USA.
“Trade quotas are only evil when non-western countries use them” “Online moderation of politically divisive and inflammatory material is only authoritarian when non-western countries do it”
I’m sure you were in tears when Jan 6 destroyed American democracy and cheering when the HK parliament was stormed by the same reactionary elements. Head-ass shitlib.
No. One movie didn’t receive screening approval. China limits import for screening of foreign films to 34 a year. I’m not talking Hollywood films, I’m talking all foreign films. The Christoper Robin movie in 2018 didn’t make the cut after it had a disappointing box office and critical reception in Western markets. The IP still remains popular in China because Winnie’s cute.
Yes. The memes associating President Xi with Winnie are banned. You won’t find them on Weibo, for example, where they’ll be likely taken down. Weibo strictly monitors political discourse online and routinely removes content that is aggressively polarising, especially around major political events like the Two Sessions. This is partially at the behest of the government and partially a responsibility towards its userbase.
Some provocative political content is monitored and censored, and we’ve always known that, however, Winnie is not, as you originally said. This is a bald faced orientalist lie and it shows how hollow it is, seeing how quickly you had to abandon it in the face of readily available English language evidence.
Yeah that makes sense. Unfortunately if it’s the maturity that’s appealing, then anything that’s ‘age appropriate’ may seem uncool by comparison.
I guess with Pokemon, the trick could be just to put episodes on anyway and see if that can supplant whatever other shows she may have previously zeroed in on. There’s a reason why Pokemon is as popular as it is.
If the show doesn’t have to be recent but still would need to be that sword fighter type of anime, you could try to introduce shows like Rurouni Kenshin or Inuyasha when appropriate. There’s still violence but not on the level of Demon Slayer. You can check the Parents’ Guide (this one for Inuyasha) on IMDB for advice on content and themes. I guess it’s up to you to determine what’s right for your child, so please don’t take these as out and out recommendations.
Edit: It turns out there’s a 2023 remake of Rurouni Kenshin. Here’s the Parents’ Guide for that series.
