      this… this is nonsense

      edit: just because I read other comments.. nothing to do with her being a woman, or liking anime? Just because someone disagrees with something a woman said, doesn’t mean it’s based on that. It’s just assinine to say you’re studying storytelling watching JJK. I enjoy aspects of JJK… but storytelling is not it’s strong suit. Read a fucking Paddy Chayefsky script, or you know a Pynchon novel, or I don’t know — something that tests the boundaries of storytelling.. not fucking JJK. Are you kidding? If a guy told me this I’d be saying the same shit.

      She “studied anime”, why give your obsessed simps more reasons to be obsessed? Lmao.

      I don’t really think jjk would be the one anime to study for a movie like obsession…?

      I would think she as an actress or even as a viewer you should already know all dialogue is there for a reason and yes it will be relevant later on.

      Idk how to feel about her because in one hand people nit pick her apart but she also doubled down on the Johnny depp supporter thing.

      Y’all gotta chill. She’s 25, so yes, she is still learning very basic things about story telling. It’s obvious she wants to be a screen writer in addition to being an actor, and she has to start somewhere. Be glad the entire world was not watching and recording you starting your career at 25, because I’m guessing you were a lot less accomplished than Navarrette is in her industry.

      The hate for anime is crazy in the thread. It’s an amazing medium of art. Not every show is PG but there are really really good gems and amazing storytelling in anime. Some anime is considered some of the best media of all time (example: attack on titan)

      Just want to add, women watch and love anime too!!! Stop thinking anime is only for men and that men only watch anime. Someone like Inde definitely could be into anime!!! Liking and watching anime is not being poser 🤦🏻‍♀️

      Lots of unnecessary hate in this thread lol. Gatekeeping anime that you likely don’t watch, all while harvesting your anger over her seemingly overnight success AND being selected as Rogue.

      Get over it. If you’re mad at this, go take a gander at what your political leaders are up to. Or not.

      Good lord, back the hell off, everybody.

      Her movie was cool. Anime is cool. Why are you all freaking out?

      Scroll past if you aren’t interested.

    17. Bright-Sea6392 on

      Wow she’s only been famous for a few months and already getting womaned.

      Same with Jennifer Lawrence, same with Anne Hathaway, Anna Kendrick’s, etc. you really can’t be a woman with my specific personality in the public eye lol.

    18. tackiestangel on

      She’s a really talented actress and a pretty normie Gen Z girl otherwise I don’t understand the discourse around her AT ALL

    20. GildedWhimsy on

      I don’t watch anime and I haven’t seen Obsession but WHY is this girl getting so much hate?? She seems cool!

    22. BB808BB on

      She’s so pretty. She’s gonna do be famous because the comments hating on her shows she is gonna be a starrrrrr.

    23. formidablezoe on

      This comment section is pissing me tf off. Getting major flashbacks to that time of my life when I used to be into football and would get hated on by both guys and girls for being a faker and a poser. Guys who would bombard me with questions to prove my knowledge and expertise. Girls who would accuse me of being pick me and attention seeking. Just no way of winning. The only acceptable way is to be a stereotypical girl, be into girly things and to fit yourself into that comfortable, familiar box that we’re all assigned at birth because of what we have between our legs.

      How are we still stuck in this backwards, narrow minded high school mentality. On a seemingly progressive popculture forum of all places.

      The Inde Navarette hate train has been weird to watch unfold. I have never seen the internet switch up on someone so fast. These comments are insane

      I respect anime so much because i have seen truly compelling stories and characters that the West has never been able to reproduce nor would dare to, even if they could.

      The fact she’s exposed herself to this medium, especially one with such a wide spectrum of themes and stories, and approaching it with the respect it deserves is commendable.

    28. millennialpink_03 on

      I think after watching the clip and reading the comments, two things can be true.

      People ARE quick to label her as a pick-me and are showing their internalized misogyny under the guise of feminism and too quick to label women with stereotypical male interests as pick-mes.

      AND

      Inde did not really say anything insightful here at all. She introduced studying anime as if she had an insight specific to anime to share, but instead shared an observation about general storytelling that so, so, many movies and TV shows employ today (playing with timelines). Which, every movie that ever had a flashback or multiple timelines or a monologue by a dead person (Memento, West World, Gone girl, even children’s media etc etc ) would use

      she presented a pretty commonplace narrative device as though studying anime had revealed something particularly insightful about storytelling. A monologue gaining new significance after a character’s death is a technique used across virtually every narrative medium, including novels, short stories, etc

      She didn’t answer the question of what does anime in particular do with timelines that’s distinctive, but presented it as if anime uniquely did that. It would be like saying “thats why I study Tarantino films to understand storytelling. Sometimes a character says something, and then something happens later that makes what they said more meaningful. This is why Tarantino is such a fascinating director.” Like…you didn’t need Tarantino to teach you all that!

      So people are now using her lack of insight and accusing her of introducing anime without needing to and saying she did that purposely to be a pick-me. To be fair, a man likely 100% wouldn’t be as picked apart for such a comment.

      Finally someone in the spotlight said it. Anime has some of the best storytelling of all time.

    34. Specific-Way-2019 on

      Some of the best animated films in the world have been anime. Besides Miyazaki, there’s also Satoshi Kon, and other amazing film makers.

      Some series have also been wildly inventive and provocative. The space operatic Gankuutsuo (The Count of Monte Cristo) is amazing, as is Monster. Hell, even the highly highly popular series like Inuyasha and Naruto also had significant moments of deep and emotive storytelling and character development, often more than what I encountered in popular serialised western animation

      Comment section making me feel like I got flash banged to 2010 when the anime fans in school got bullied. Be better than this.

    41. Uchihaboy316 on

      I’m a big anime fan but also a big fan of media in general, I love and appreciate ALL mediums, haven’t seen obsession yet but all the discourse around her is making me like her, she seemingly blew up from nowhere on a movie that has something to say about both men and women as well as their dynamics, so she was already starting at a place where she was gonna get some unwanted hate, and on top of that she’s into nerdy, non “transitional” (blehh) for women things and has gotten a big role shortly after obsessions, the discourse around her truly shows how miserable and full of hate a lot of people are, to her because she’s a woman and into this kind of stuff etc as well as becoming successful so quickly, and also shows that even though anime is now mainstream it’s still super divisive because people suck, they are ignorant and miserable. Anyone shitting on anime isn’t truly a fan of art and expression.

      What a great shock. People here being weird about anime just like highschool bullies. I wonder if there is a connection between people who like to gossip about celebs and people who peaked in high school
