Yeah… KZfaq sucks, when content creators feel the need to do this kinda of ish

My immediate reaction was “OH THANK GOD, it’s just the producer!” I mean, it’s still disgusting and awful, but I’ll take what positives I can in this situation.

oh ffs good to know

thank goodness lmao

​​@@sumrakdievcaright? They should not drag the director with him in that. He's just a wallet, producers don't have anything to do with directors. Why even mention the stuff he gave money to.

Yeah. People still watch classic films produced by Harvey Weinstein even though he the face of sexual abuse in the entertainment industry. We all need to talk about these cases of corruption and deviance, but for the most part, we don't need to disregard the work of many people who didn't do those things.

This reminds me a lot of another producer: Johnathan Tzachor. Which for those who don't know was the head producer and show runner of Power Rangers. He's thankfully gone now, and has been replaced with better people(as of this reply)

Guilt by association was a historically japanese culture thing, and in some places the concept is still practiced (*coughcough*zoomers*cough*)! As a cultural thing, the practice of a samurai's retainers committing suicide, simultaneous with the samurai that they served, was called tsuifuku. Though you can argue that this isn't that, the dynamic of hierarchical power in a formal setting lends itself to a modern business rendition of how work associates "go down with a ship" as a result, often times with no say whatsoever.

Yeah it’s not like he composed all the music and drew every frame. I’m sure as the producer he was probably highly involved but he definitely didn’t single handedly create all of these movies

But isn't the saying "one bad apple can spoil the bunch?"

Same thoughts Its like saying you hate north Korean because Kim is a dictator

100% agree. it feel shallow and superficial af

fr, i was gonna comment that, but we shouldnt turn a blind eye to it but we can still support makoto shinkai and his works since he was the one who created the story not that guy

But HIS name must be removed from the credits!

Yup I totally get ya’ll, that total shit of a person was just the producer and it’s not like that he created those movies, it’s just that he threw the money. Shinkai can get new producers in a Snap of his fingers 😕😕

THIS WAS MY EXACT THOUGHT PROCESS

Bro same

This is a crime to where Separating Art from Artist arguments fall through the cracks to MANY people because of their closeness to others who've experienced such atrocities IRL. Defending the art is fine, but not when it's dismissive of the actual crime. Like dude said, this will hover over every name involved with the criminal in question. And the only way to credibly defend the art he heavily participated in making is to say you don't care about his involvement. Like, straight up.

I have to agree. I LOVE Your Name and Weathering With You, but I will only praise Makoto Shinkai and not the producer after hearing this!

Quite not hard for me OP. Unless the crime itself is directly has something to do with your work.

@@ivanwilliams7413a “Producer” has nothing to do with the “art” of animation. It’s the directors and animators who work hard to create the story and visuals while the producer just takes care of the logistics. Cancelling the entire thing is like cancelling a farmer because the supermarket that sells his produce did a crime.

@@ivanwilliams7413 The premise of "Separate Art from Artist" is a logical fallacy, specifically, the Cognitive Dissonance Fallacy. It's an extreme form of denial that disconnects people from reality.

You know the JP public will blame the girl as well and dude will get off mostly scot-free...

@@DizY_8 Nope. He's getting the full force of the anger. He's 100% being blamed by everyone and their mother.

People can be like this. Especially if workaholics. You should know this by now.

Fame and money gets to you, it can make you do some bad stuff you wouldn’t do when you weren’t

@@Darwin-sama It's more complicated than that. can money and fame have somewhat of affect on a person's psyche? Yes but not to such a degree that they change completely as a person. Fame and money itself doesn't change people. It's usually the environment they're in or the person was already an asshole but couldn't act due to the limitations they had. Once the limitations were gone due to fame and fortune, then their true nature is amplified; money makes you more of who you already are. As for the environment, unfortunately, infidelity and corruption is common among the higher status in society (politicians, celebrities, business people, medical professions, etc.). So when it's around you, the temptation gets stronger (basically as the saying goes: 'if 5 of your friends are smokers, you'll be the 6th'). And when you have a bunch of young women reaching out to you, the temptation gets worse (same thing for women having men reaching out).

Ufotable: You tell them bro

Yaa don't know why he is covering it no2

Oh i left the same comment earlier. But yours was more complete. I prefer calling him as the VA of Sabo from One Piece, the biggest anime in japan currently.

Fr, I thought it was going to be about the recent story

Toru furuya is amuro ray, pegasus seiya, tuxedo mask and other plethora famous anime characters what a shame

none of those are crimes though unless abuse is actual assault but these days even yelling at someone gets called “abuse”

sounds like the name of some XXX movie

A standard Tinder interaction

They’re born that way it’s not their fault, the problem is that they don’t seek help

They literally just changed the age of consent there to 16 recently LOL it's a country full of pedophiles

⁠@@Darwin-sama mental help in Japan doesn’t really exist. The culture is very anti-physiology, and counseling isn’t strongly protected or even treated as health.

​@@Darwin-sama yo anyway unless its under 13 its not PDF even tho CP Is illegal no matter Age of consense

​@@hitto8863 the age of consent went up in japan so stop being fuking gross. it's 16 and in most cities it's 18

Thankfully it was a producer, not the creative director. It was just a money man

The problem is famous creators get away with a lot.

I am right there with you! This needs to stop!

everi time you see their works they comit another crime, even if is just a clip or a image

​@@ComputerGameAmbienceso what? Are you one of those people that cannot differentiate between fiction and reality?

He was a producer. That's the person who puts talent and money together. He's one of the creators by default. Regardless, the whinging over this specificity is hilariously stupid considering the crime.

​@@ivanwilliams7413 *You know. I have a feeling that's what hollywood producers and game producers like to say* when they go around changing stuff they don't understand. In practice, anyone who works with creative productions, including the producers who take their work seriously, know that while some may work more roles than just being a producer, what they are are managers, not creators. *Managers manage money and people so that the Creators can focus on making the movie.*

I think its not the media to blame but the guy who did the crime to blame 😅. He is the pedo and he is the one who did the crime, he is part of creating the anime and that is just a fact, does he shed bad light on others working on this project and animators and on the anime itself etc ..yes but that is on him and something he should have thought about,that is not on the media that is just stating facts. Its very important people mention his role in the anime as a headliner because it also shed light on the issue in japan of manga and anime. Because It is an issue,pedo culture is big here because of it, pressure on women to be young and cute and stay that way is in this, pedophiles being created is part of this issue ,the porn industry full of highschool girls in uniforms is part of this. This sheds light on a bigger picture of the issue. If they would stop making these anime always about love stories or sexualiIng highschool kids it would help out against this issue a lot. I live in japan and the amount of 50 year old man obsessed with highschool girls anime that are in skimpy highschool uniforms is crazy. My ex neighbour had a car with an anime girl on it that looked 13 in a really skimpy sexual outfit and drawn almost naked... That is the reality man face here in japan and how they grow up with here .. this is a bigger issue and yes if its a producer doing this shit it should be mentioned in connection to what he created. Luckily this guy didnt create to bad of a anime but again this is just the tip of the iceberg.

This honestly reminds me of another person: Johnathan Tzachor Which for those who don't know, was the head producer and show runner of Power Rangers.

I think its still higher age if, yeah an issue, but hollywood i think its most eary is, odd fixating on legal age , and harassmen and pressure in general, and not 12? a bit older still usually. Which still not good. but .. The dan schneider stuff like is , not good but they care about , ok lets hope that scares at least to that blatantr engage in japan :( , hopefully:( through it needs actual reforms in the industry there, not just arresting animators

i dont think he said we should stop supporting manga or anime?

Fax, I mean even Oshi No Ko is covering it heavily through it's run

@@selvaa1592 I think the point he's making is that whenever Joey makes videos like this he always goes for the "if there's one creep, the entire industry might be full of creeps too" generalization blame game which puts an obvious majorly negative image on the entire industry during a time when Japanese pop-culture entertainment is like the main target for destruction from crazies from the West. I've commented this before in one of Joey's videos. ANY industry will have creeps. Especially so with entertainment and pop-culture. If he reacts like this and gives this image onto his 800k followers, that's quite a large sphere of influence. It also gives ammunition to people who have dark goals towards destroying the Japanese pop-culture and entertainment industry in favor of whatever garbage the West is currently trying to peddle to people. What about Hollywood? What about the same industries in Arab countries? What about in Bollywood? All of these likely have creeps like these. Perhaps Hollywood is even the worst of them all for all we know. Joey needs to understand that his words have weight, and that he should choose them carefully. We should all know by know how hellish the anime/manga/light novel industry in Japan can be for the people that work there. If he is to focus on these creeps, he should not generalize all of the people working there with such a negative image as with any country's version of the entertainment industry.

It's not just entertainment though. Thousands of people are arrested every year for crimes against children. We only read headlines about the ones involved with famous projects, because they generate ad revenue. If some random guy in the town next to yours gets arrested for the same crime you probably wouldn't know about it. I understand that when you google these projects now it's possible for articles about this producer to be in the results. That sucks, especially for all the people who worked on these films, but it's not representative of the work they did.

Shinkai is infected with evil as long as his name is in the credits.

While I agree with you, normies cannot separate art and the people who worked on it. Which I understand you have to boycott things you don’t like. The problem is almost everyone has dirt on themselves. Some dirt is worse of course.

Using Harvey Weinstein is a bad example. He was known for altering and editing films without input from the director. Regardless of your bad example, a producer's input varies from projects from music to shows to movies. They usually always have creative control, but most of the time, they let they director's do their jobs unless they lose confidence or have a very controlijg personality Wienstien does.. I'm not sure how different Hollywood is from the Japanese anime industry.

I mean, him publicly being ashamed , helkps, if he defended him, not good, but thank god he doesnt seem to do that. Its like not liking dogma despite weinstein , and to credit, kevin smith kept in in limbo to not make weinstein any money, but yeah that is not nessesary on the creator.

Producers matter wtf

There is no clickbait?

@@RoanoraZoro123there is clickbait. The thumbnail makes it look like Makoto Shinkai himself did something bad

@@toristeunebrink5705 that is the picture of the producer tho?

It's 100% clickbait

Yea, clickbait as always.

Clickbait...

Dude needs clicks to get money

It wasn't Makoto Shinkai, so why would he be on the thumbnail?

Did ya watch the video?

I thought the same thing

His crime is making a cheap click-bait thumbnail.

​​@@androyusHow is it clickbait if it's the producer of that exact movie? Edit- just realised he changed the thumbnail. That was quick

@@androyus let the man get his views bro 😮‍💨

@@princeblackelf4265 Me too.

Why did you bring Hollywood into this? This isn't about Hollywood

@@sugarzblossom8168 No, but it's about an industry that is basically Japan's equivalent to Hollywood.

@@anthonydeadman I simply didn't see the need to compare regardless

@@sugarzblossom8168 Then ignorance blinds you.

Joey apprently revels in not being able to.. That's really disappointing.. I think the culture is moving in the right direction on this.. about time Joey caught up..

I do believe in holding the people who do bad thing accountable, but I really think that it depends on what that art meant to you. For example, the Harry Potter franchise was something I hold dear to my heart. It came out around the same time I moved to a new school far from any friends and it was what helped me be able to bond with the other students around me. I was able to find a lot of new friends, even learned a lot about myself too. Then the whole mess with JK happened and while I hate the creator and what she is doing, I can't hate what the books did for me when I was at a low point. This is a feeling I have for anything that is put out into the world if it has had a very lasting impression on me. Because if I let what the creator did take away something I feel so close to and so dear to, then what will I have left in this world?

Weird video to talk about looking at things from the other side. Fact checking is good. But looking for counter arguments is not right here.

That's my hope as well. I loved Your Name and Weathering With You, but I don't want to stop watching those movies because of a scummy producer. I want to watch them to support the creator and the rest of the good people working on it.

I’m still going to see it as well. I’m gonna see it as paying the artists animators and staff. Because I love that type of animation and hope captivating stories and animations of similar quality continues to be reproduced. I’m able to separate art from the artists. I know many people aren’t able to but it’s a more enjoyable life to not paint the producer as the main creator and just enjoy the art or story as is. Good luck.
