Ah yes, famously conservative media like One Piece, Ghost in the Shell, Gundam, Princess Mononoke, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and Cowboy Bebop

I like Jojo, but in the rare instances where it really offers political messaging it's basically libertarian bullshit (see the end of Stone Ocean episode 27, where Araki takes a strong stand against motorcycle helmet laws on existential grounds for some reason)
The main thing I like about Jojo is its derangement, so this doesn't bother me too much
don't forget what araki did in part 2
got got by a red army soldier's stand『ʙᴀᴄᴋ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴜssʀ』
Was Lucy Q underage or do you mean the name of the African American kid?
probably teaming JoJo up with literal Nazi Germany to fight the pillar men.
Suzi Q is described as a young woman and is employed by Lisa Lisa as a personal assistant, and Smokey Brown is a blend named after musicians Smokey Robinson and James Brown so I don't really see that as being too out of pocket.
Let's be fair, there's a reason it's "Smokey Brown" and not "James Robinson", not to put too fine a point on it.
But yeah, fair point about the Nazi thing, I was just thinking in the libertarian direction.
