Just funny: European feminist Joseino Kenly who talks favourably of vague European childcare and maternity leave policies (which is better than Japan's in some EU countries sure). I think she needs to be remade as a villain representing White Feminism imho. (13/19)
The "Resume Operations" nuclear Rhino. A US Soldier trying to build another base. "Collective self-defence dog" who tricks Japan into teaming up with the US in the name of self-defence but actually WE'RE INVADING IRAQ! And a Gorilla that represents TPP's secrecy. (12/19)
Kosodate Ikuko, represents working mothers and is vocal about issues of youth, childcare and education. She's depicted as a hero who deserves help with her 10 kids of all ages and her demanding job.(9/19)
Poken Shishō a karate master with the Japanese constitution for a head. I know, bear with me, he loves Art. 9 which guarantees Japanese neutrality which he think is being violated by the American military occupation. He believes in peace & defence, hence the karate. (8/19)
Tawara Kometaro, an anthropomorphic hay bale. He represents Japanese agriculture and is the mascot for the anti-TTP campaign because it would ruin Japanese agriculture. He loves Japanese food, culture and anime
(he me). (7/19)
Kaku-san, which means 'proliferation,' he represents organisers, protesters and all the people who propagate the party literature and communist materials (the party website does give out Japanese copies of Das Kapital).(6/19)
Gamagu-chan. It's a purse. He represents the people living paycheck to paycheck, he hurts when money is taken away and says great things when you give him money. (4/19)
Effort thread on the Japanese Communist Party 日本共産党, the largest non-governing Communist party in the world, still have their own News Media institution (Shimbun Akahata しんぶん赤旗 10th most read paper) & still huge in unions. BUT I wanna talk about their mascots (1/19)
How is Mario, a clearly Italian man ruled my Princess Peach? The Mushroom Kingdom is in the Holy Roman Empire an explainer. (1/13)
