Perhaps Studio Ghibli is huge and I'm just out of the loop on their significance.MorganL4 said:
I just found the article strange and out-of-place on a gaming website. I like to laugh, learn and think; not get "outraged" at 5-minute segments on deep cable channels.
Ha ha ha, silly human consumer. Everyone knows (Love Fox News) the environment is evil and must be destroyed. And (Fox News will protect you) anyone who sticks up for it, or vaguely promotes it is also evil, they are the devil manifested in a (You are useless without Fox News) human form, and as such, they will be executed as (Give us your first born child) well. Anyone who mourns shall be killed as well. Submit to Fox News (conform) and deny everything (Fox news is God) that we declare false (die). What?-Drifter- said:
But yeah, Fox News sucks. It sucks that people watch it, but they do, and we shouldn't even give them, or their news articles the time of day. Maybe if we ignore them, they'll go away?
These people are insane.
"This Japanese studio is making a movie with a subtext that we don't like! It's obviously Obama!"

The message in question: Equality and sustainability. Hardly evil brainwashing stuff, now is it? In fact, I'd be willing to argue both of those are very hard to argue AGAINST, if you look at them plain and simple.
Seriously Fox, shut up. You're making the British think all of us Americans are stupid.

Why can't I favorite comments? This, my friend, is an excellent analysis of the situation. As an American, I'd say we've gotten into this dualist line of thinking, where the two sides can't agree on anything. It's clear to me and everyone else here that Fox is just a small element of a big problem, as a man recently got fired from Fox for suggesting the same thing I'm saying right now.Scrumpmonkey said:It's like im stuck in the dullest acid trip of a retarded Natzi. This isn't offensive to me its just surreal; like wathing a man have a fist fight with a tree. Reality plays no part here, this is drug logic straight up. There are layers and layers of missinformation and misconception so thick that i can't help feeling there should be several miles of irony here. I can't... i can't... dude im tripping balls.
Being as how this is the Escapist, I assume you're from the UK, which makes it very hard to convey the message of frustration felt by your friends across the Atlantic. To help give you a picture, though, the president recently passed a bill known as the NDAA, which allows them to detain US citizens without trial for SUSPICION of terrorism.
Don't be surprised if the recent string of rebellions hits the US next, we're still ticked over the occupy wall street incident.
P.S. sorry, had to vent. Hope I didn't say anything overly stupid or alienating in there.
I say this article and reaction is pretty pathetic. It's not gaming news. It barely qualifies as 'nerd news'. I read it because I was, myself, wondering why it made the front page. The answer is pretty obvious, though. This site just loves to hate them some Fox News. Now, most reasonable people will say, "Hey, it's some pundit on a fairly obscure cable channel. I'll just ignore his grab for attention", but since it's associated with Fox, Internet rules dictate you have free reign to whine and froth about Fox News, Republicans, Conservatives, Christians, etc. There's no discussion either, someone posts a clip of someone on Fox News getting something wrong or giving an opinion, forum erupts in people smugly reaffirming their hatred and superiority over those they disagree with, rinse, repeat. This isn't even news on any level. Those movies probably aren't pushing an agenda (However I haven't seen them), and the entertainment industry favoring the left is not news nor is it secret.Whispering Death said:
Meh. At this point it's all white noise coming from the right. They don't have anything valid to say, they don't believe 80% of what they're trained to say, they just want power and if they can't have, they lash out in acts of childish spite.
One day they'll all be dead and have nothing to show for their lives. They don't mean a damn thing to me any more than I mean a damn thing to them.

You know what would honestly surprise me? FOX news saying they're happy about something that is actually good, nice, or beneficial for a majority of the U.S. or a foreign country. Especially a foreign country (not that it isn't nice when something good happens for your own country), since FOX seems to spread a lot of paranoia, fear, or outright hate about foreigners in general.
Latest news:
Fox is doing something utterly stupid just to attract attention.
Imho this network is like a real life internet troll.

Honestly, they stirred up the wumpbee's nest enough when they went after games, so that's around 15% of the country there... the strong left wing and moderates on both sides hate them, so that's a good 60% there... but now they're going after Miyazaki? That's every otaku in existence... no, that's not enough, anyone with a significant interest in anime or animated films loves Miyazaki. Are they trying to seal their own grave, or just get higher ratings? Because I'm starting to think that "the one percent" might just mean "the one percent of the next generation that will do anything but laugh at Fox news."
