Will Ghibli ever employ a female director? Nishimura fields this question. “It depends on what kind of a film it would be. Unlike live action, with animation we have to simplify the real world. Women tend to be more realistic and manage day-to-day lives very well. Men on the other hand tend to be more idealistic – and fantasy films need that idealistic approach. I don’t think it’s a coincidence men are picked.”

Ghibli accused of sexism in the west due to producer's comments on female directors, Japan reporting on it. It's happening, the culture war is reaching Japan.

Wow, shocking revelation. Total culture war happening.

Unless the Japanese have a beta uprising or whatever, that will never happen. Japanese people are too awkward to do anything.

Just look at their twitters, basically just pictures of food or cute animals.
>>
>western feminists project their insecurities onto Japanese women who don't give a fuck
Jealous western harlots WISH they were as successful as Japanese women are in publishing and animation. This kind of comment is shrugged off as "some guy's opinion" in Japan because they don't have a huge chip on their shoulder about "muh wage gap" thanks to some of the wealthiest and most influential artists in Japan being women.

Kind of hard to include Japs in the "struggle" when their entire outlook on the arts is fundamentally different. I mean fuck, the oldest Japanese work of fiction was authored by a woman, they've got nothing to prove about their chops.

Japan doesn't care. Not even Japanese women care, they don't take western feminism seriously at all. The last time feminists tried hassling Japan it was the Japanese Women's Association that told them off and made them recant their statements. They got fucking humiliated by what they thought were their allies.

Obviously sexist but the reaction this is getting is hilarious.

You have to have no idea what Japan is like not to expect a meandering, generalizing answer like this from a producer.
>>
>>142651140
It's sexist but it's not far from being true. The men in Studio Ghlibi movies are totally exaggerated, their personalities are something you'd find rarely and only in films like these. The women are exaggerated as well, but to a point. It'd be more common finding a girl in the real world similar to one of the characters in the movies.
>>
>>142651319
The producer is talking about the people creating the movies, not the people in the movies.
>>
>>142651319
I've always found Ghibli characters to either be exaggerated caricatures or boring 1 dimensional husks. The guy is right in my opinion, some of my favorite directors when it comes to character driven plots are female. Atsuko Ishizuka, Naoko Yamada and Rie Matsumoto.
>>
>>142651523
Damn, that reading comprehension I guess.

He's still not wrong I guess. Studio Ghibli, aside from Miyazaki himself, are and should typically be directed by females. The type of movies the studio produces are definitely female-oriented, although both genders like them.

It's natural that different genders be better at different things, but it's not a tactful way to explain it. That sort of comment can actively discourage girls from trying to enter the industry or create Ghible-esque works, and there's nothing good about doing that. Just because trends swing in a certain direction doesn't mean it's a hard and fast rule.

There are already many women working as directors, writers, storyboarders and designers, to say nothing of manga artists.

This idea that somebody's inconsequential remarks can discourage women from doing something has become a self-fulfilling prophecy in America.

The UN wants Japan to stop making manga and games that depict sexual violence. Japan's Women in Media group blew them out with:

>Perhaps cracking down on fictional sexual violence makes many people feel that at least something is being done. However, while we are busy debating the human rights of fictional characters, nothing is being done to protect the human rights of actual, living women.

It's kind of interesting to see that in America, in a desperate attempt to fight for gender equality, they end up also repressing the concept of sexuality itself. Whereas in Japan, despite the shitty corporate culture for women, when it comes to the creative industries, women actually has more freedom than their counterparts in America.

>US: No, can't portray women in a sexual manner, that's objectifying! Meanwhile, despite 50 shades of grey making a lot of money in the box office, women's smut is still treated like something to be swept under the rug.
>JP: both men and women like sex, therefore both gender are free to express that shit in their works
>>
>>142664383
And why is that a bad?
Women are also better at handling children, so it would make sense to hire them over males in child-centric jobs. Men and women aren't identical, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. It make sense to prefer those who are better at something that dose who aren't.

Have you not watched any of the shows listed in that thread? They're basically all AOTS of their respective seasons. It's just as Nishimura says, women are better at directing realistic anime, so all high school, SoL, etc. the majority of anime. Men are only good at directing fantasy.

NO! You stupid fucking credulous idiot. Quit getting your fucking history from tipper threads on reddit, and breathy rants at Salon.

That's been the revisionist story in the US for the last 20 years, but it simply isn't true. Japan as a whole has always been sexually conservative. The anti-porn laws written by the Americans were simply copied over with a host of other legislation from the previous Meiji ones.

Some people try to point to the "Edo period" as an illustration of a a more sexually free time in Japanese history; but the Edo periods famed sexual openness (1780's-1850's) only occurred in the red-light district of Edo, and that's it. Definitely not Japan as a whole.
The red-light district of Edo was the only place in the entirety of Japan where prostitution was legal. Elsewhere in the country prostitution, adultery, gambling, acting, putting on plays and public drunkenness could earn you fines, imprisonment or death.

I thought miyazaki has gone on record of saying he's a feminist to the point of giving the women better bathrooms or something

Regardless it doesn't matter. People make too much an issue out of nothing. I hardly even know names of animators and directors and only recently started paying more attention that. I don't particularly care what someone is or what they feel and don't think it matters provided the show is good and the content is enjoyable

sure if it was really 90% then it would be fine, but when it's 100% one gender and someone defends it by saying that the other gender simply cant do the job right, then maybe we have a problem.
I really don't care if most directors are male, but its annoying when someone claims that good fantasy directing is simply an inherent trait in men.

It's not because they think they can't, it's because they haven't found someone who they believe can deliver a product of the same or better quality.

Everything about it is abnormal. How does he casually state that live-action doesn't need simplification of reality? Why is this simplification necessarily tied with idealism? What's the connection between your everyday outlook/competency at life and the ability for abstract thought? How can he be so sure that women are never idealistic or that men are never dilligent and realisitc? Like, Takahata is probably the most realistic, down-to-earth person in the entire anime industry and this dude has produced for him. Is he for real?

It just seems like he assumed 100 things at once and expected the interlocutor to agree with all of them to make his point. That's usually what I feel when reading what JP artists have to say about things.

I don't understand this thread at all. It's logical to use people that have been proven to be generally better suited for said task than taking risks and eventually losing money and.opportunities. Men are known to have an overall greater physical strength and they are therefore in greater number in fields that require this. Women are known to be better at paying attention and taking care of small individuals so they are in greater numbers in fields that involve taking care of people. Do people protest about this? No. It's ridiculous to protest about something that is natural. What? Do you want to reform Mother Nature as well? That everybody be born as blobs and we can then be truly equal? Stop your bullshit. Economy and art aren't the.fields in which taking risks is an exceedingly good thing, the problem of making people redundant is too high.
