So apparently Oda caused some controversy with a comment.

Anyone got any info on that?

Someone mentioned earlier an answer in the latest SBS got Japan's alt-righty pissy because it poked fun at the military. But I don't know what the actual, specific comment was.

Dammit! What did he say?

It's so typical for someone who's work I like to say something awful and tank the entire thing.

[up]Wait? It was that thing? I do remember us talking about that before.

[up][up] Oh it was just that?

Though it was something different.

Honestly I forgot that happened.

[up][up] It's the only thing I've heard about myself, but I only heard about it here and I don't even know what he actually said to cause such an uproar. Hell, his most recent comment of any kind was he started watching Japan's version of The Bachelor

You're going to need to be more specific because there are a number of things Oda could say to upset people

I can't find anything on the OP Reddit. I assume what was meant was the SBS answer making fun of that Yokoi guy who fought WWII until the '70s, that pissed off the alt-right.

Was it just the alt right? The story has changed a lot from being about joking about the military to joking about an individual.

From what I understand this Yokoi fellow is considered a hero to Japanese ultranationalists because he fought World War II until 1972, being the very last Japanese soldier to surrender.

He spent 28 years in hiding in poor conditions and is now dead. I can see why more than just the alt right may find it tasteless, even if I find it innocuous (and funny).

That's insanely innocuous. Cannot believe the magazine apologised over something so small.

Ultranationalists are faaaaaaaaaar more powerful in Japan than in most democratic countries, and they hold many high government positions, including the current PM who is at least as bad as Trump from what I understand. The magazine was likely afraid of blowback from someone seriously high up, is what I'd guess.

Abe isn't as dumb as Trump, for what it's worth.

There should be a World Noble that resembles Trump. I mean, he basically is one.

No.

I have to deal with him enough in real life. I don't want anything resembling Trump in my fiction.

I'm utterly sick of him and everything connected to him. He taints life and existence itself.

...As you can tell, I have strong feelings about the issue.

He cameoed in the Inuyashiki anime (I think the manga had Obama). He pretty much told the world to fuck off, so I say they nailed him.

No it had Trump too!

He made murder legal from the page I recall.

Inuyashiki also didn't glorify the Yakuza as well, who have influence especially among the Alt Right.

I dont remember the series but if it makes you feel better she was also a tiny person and a gag character from what I saw.
