Seeing mangahood enjoyers who swear up and down that the fma manga/Brotherhood is "anti-military"/"anti-imperialist" is like seeing someone repeatedly argue that your bog standard copaganda procedural is "anti-cop"/"acab".

#the fact that even bloggers i respect think broho is anti-military #yeah you guys ncis is super acab!! guys broho is good bc there are no nazis just genociders who feel bad!#you guys the military still running the state at the end of the series is good! it's progress! soooooo anti-military!#blaming imperialism on non-humans who look human is also super good anti-imperialist (& not at all dogwhiste-y) storytelling!#i can't take you people seriously #and they get so incensed when you state plainly that the series is very pro-military #there's a huge thread from however long ago i found with thousands of users malding over this!#this is truly the piss on the poor website #it's sad af #fma #fmab #vent
