Uh, this was already at the top of the page? I don't think it needed bumping.

Sorry, but I agree with you and I didnt want this post to be lost in the crowd. Something about it REALLY irks me. But Im not sure if its kosher or not.

If anything it could use some trimming, at least. There's a lot of speculation in there; all that stuff about how it's a Take That! at certain countries could probably go. I'd say the general gist of it ("some see the manga's emphasis on the downsides of extreme political correctness as a parallel to overly harsh hate crime laws") could be a valid example, but it would need to be pretty vague to avoid getting on the wrong side of the Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgment.

Considering that within that mess of natter there's a fragment saying Word of God is that it's not a take that at any country, that part about the countries can probably be cut with prejudice as speculation.

To me, saying 'it's possibly a smack at Freedonia even though word of God says it's not' smacks of a couple different problems.

Should I take it to the "Is This An Example?" thread? Because I'm not really sure how to properly use What Do You Mean, It's Not Political? myself, so I don't know how to do go about improving that entry, if it's improvable at all. Other than correcting "world of" to "country of Japan in", since that is where the work is centred and where the strict equality laws are present (the laws in the rest of the world are not really brought up).

Also have a suspicion the troper that added it wants to shoehorn in their particular political views as "how things should be" in that entry.

Taking it there sounds like a good idea. And I think you're right about the shoe horning.
