just blocked and unfollowed someone for putting Makoto Shinkai slander on my dash. your name is literally The Movie Of All Time, and suzume made me feel emotions i haven't been able to stop feeling for days. it's this serious to me

#it's a mutual I've had for a few years too #but that's such an instant block from me #suzume is so different from your name. calling them the 'same bland ass movie'#is like. anti intellectual in a way that's on purpose and for some reason #contrarian to the thought of engaging with the text #is it cuz most of his movies main protags are Boy And Girl Who Fall In Love?#cuz like. that's just movies that's normal #suzume is about everything but also largely influenced by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami #and directly commenting on the way it has affected people in japan and #the ability to grieve as a whole #like. shut the fuck up #mine #sorry i got so heated but it does kinda feel lightly racist to me #to be so directly against praising or interacting with #a japanese film maker who makes films that directly relate to being japanese to him #especially to shit on his movie again. about grief from the 2011 disasters #like they're widely beloved for a reason!!!#'ive never met a shinkai stan but critics keep praising him 🙄'#first of all get better friends i know like 4 shinkai stans #secondly. wow. maybe u. as an american. don't know super fans #of this japanese film maker. whose films only have limited run times here #like. that makes sense. but critics actually go and watch movies
