Just look at the quote retweets.

https://twitter.com/McDonaldsJapan/status/1704420133140132045/quotes

Main arguments are the mother and child looking too much alike, it is a "Right wing fantasy", and right wingers are cheering for having "American values".

Literally everyone is pissed off at it somehow.

It's the internet... people can be really stupid on the internet... sometimes even on purpose to stir shit up. Or in bad faith.

It is a bit weird the mom is almost a carbon copy of the daughter, but I can't say I care that much.

My brother looks a lot like our dad, much to my brother's chagrin.

Also, because this is anime, the daughter could very well be her mother's clone.

Basically, it's right-wingers trying to co-opt a commercial in order to attack the libs they despise so much. I feel sorry for the commercial makers who've had their stuff used by the far right as fodder for the culture wars.

It's basically manufactured controversy in order to attack the left. The far right love co-opting anime because it's so popular and they won't hesitate to twist things to their advantage.

The controversy is manufactured for the sake of having a controversy. Conservatives have made up a bunch of imaginary people angry at the ad so they can back up their reactionary viewpoints. "They're trying to turn the cartoons gay/black/trans!" doesn't really work when no one is trying to do that, so they have to make it up

It doesn't necessarily have to be so... it could be legit.

My point is/was that it's a possibility, on top of it not being an actual issue in terms of being prominent or relevant.

Either way, blowing something out of proportion, and just feeding into the "outrage" culture garbage.

And it's annoying, because then peeps will be all like it's something that happens in general, an not just the very fact that there will always be stupid takes of one form or another.

I still think that 2 is the best. My ranking is a bit unconventional

2>6>4>1>3>5 Never played the Gameboy title. It would be cool if it got a port to NSO or something.

Also yes.... the kid was adorable.

Too bad it's about something like McDonalds. Scary to think of young uns'... over there I mean, picking up our bad aspects in terms of food culture.

Especially if it's ingredients and stuff.... or when I was in Japan I was eating so many of their sweets and stuff of that nature that I thought I was going to come back a little more fat... but I actually lost weight...
