CATDOLL: A Japanese professor's amazing statement: Anime is a drug, only the poor are obsessed with it

Previously, we reported a high school girl who said on a TV show that she couldn't realize her dream because of poverty. However, careful netizens found all kinds of expensive anime peripherals in her room and found out that she was crazy about watching animated movies and concerts, which sparked heated discussions. Many anime fans were also worried that someone would point the finger at anime again because of this incident. As a result, a Japanese expert really jumped out and said that only uneducated poor people would be crazy about anime.

Professor Junqiu Yaozhang of the Faculty of Arts at Osaka University of Arts in Japan wrote that only poor people without culture like anime. He even compared celebrities, anime, drugs and gambling. The professor said that drugs and gambling can make people mentally destitute and lead to violent crimes, which is why they are banned in many countries around the world. The same is true for comics and animation. Although they seem to be popular all over the world, it is all an illusion.

The professor also said, "Animation was originally for children to watch. It is widely accepted because of the addition of stimulating sounds and colors, or violence and pornography. Under the instigation of these things, people will become excited and addicted to gambling, and obsessed with sports stars and idol singers. They have problems in their own lives, but they still pursue the unreal things created by others. They are surrounded by meaningless brand-name goods, sports star peripherals, singer idol peripherals, and anime peripherals. The poorer people are, the more they like sports stars, singer idols, comics and animations, mobile phone software, and other things that are like drugs. Although they can induce excitement in a short period of time, these things are poisonous and will only make living conditions worse. It is necessary for poor people to improve their cultural level."

As soon as the professor's article was published, it also caused an uproar on the Internet. Many netizens said that the professor's remarks were too extreme. Like idols, anime, sports stars, etc., as long as they are not excessive or burdensome, they are just normal preferences. So what do you think of the professor's remarks? Welcome to discuss.
