Anime Tourism: The Anime Man Situation
The anime man made a video talking about "anime tourism" using a problematic analogy. Even though it seemed that he did not intend any harm, his response video only made the situation worse. As an indigenous creator, I hope you were interested in my thoughts. There were a few things I've talked about within this video, and resources for those who are interested and want to further their understanding of residential schools and the cultural genocide that took place in the Americas will be found below. Thank you for supporting my channel!
