You got politics in my anime!

I've belonged to an anime website for the longest time - over six years now - and have always loved being there. Luckily, politics is rarely talked about amongst members, at least for the people I'm friends with, and the subject is never brought up in the site's chat function (except during the election, and even then it was mostly the international people just observing while everybody else was busy doing life things). And what's really nice is that there are a lot of people who feel just the same way I do about religion, politics, and the current administration. So I thought, oh good, we're safe.

Then that whole "Obama bowing to the emperor of Japan" thing came up. I kind of raised an eyebrow when I saw it in the news, but didn't think too much of it.

And then somebody decided to post it up in the news at this anime site. Ironically, it was a Canadian.

Since the news queue on the main page only shows the most recent article, that's what I see right now, complete with a picture of Obama's face. And I'm just going, "Really? Really? You HAD to post this up?" Because honestly, it irks me to no end to see things like this, complete with these little jabs to the people who are (justifiably, I think) offended. And the comments! Oh wow, open the floodgates for all the libtards to come and go "lol" at it all.

Aggggh. Keep your politics out of my anime kthnx.

I really...REALLY wish all my gaming sites I go to would stop with all the political comments.

And that's not even as bad as the 20 minutes this site (Rooster Teeth) spent bashing Fox News in their last podcast. Or how Gus (the guy on the left in the comic) laughed about Sarah Palin resigning by saying, "Finally. A Palin that knows when to pull out."

MY GOD! Can't a conservative gamer ever get some damn peace?! All this crap started when Fox News had that stupid woman talk about the game Mass Effect a few years ago. And how without ever playing the game, seeing the game, or knowing what it was about, she branded it some sick disgusting porno that should be burned.

You'd think in an industry where the majority of characters you play run around with shotguns killing and tormenting criminals to save the world from dictators, conservatives would be treated better. But noooo. We're all apparently out to stop the violence and boobies!

EDIT: Oh great. I couldn't keep my mouth shut, and in a VERY polite manner, in the comments section I suggested that they stop bringing politics into everything they do. On that site, you can rank users, and I just dropped like...40 points and got called alot of really nasty things.
