Rarotonga and her complicated legacy

Apart from Rubi, which spawned its own bigger franchise, there is no Mexican adult comic as captivating as Rarotonga, even though it’s rather stereotypical by both Mexican and most developed countries’ standards. Otherwise, keep in mind that despite its inherent objectification and misogyny (racism is also pretty bad in the comic, albeit not as obvious as the moderately toned down sexism), it remains the better written (1970s onward) and more captivating reboot of a 1950s Mexican adult comic named Taboo, which itself couldn’t hold up much in as early as the sixties, rather tellingly due to being more blatantly flagrant in terms of sexism than even the original Astro Boy manga created in 1952.  As suggested by looking at her somewhat ambiguous features in such a comic (itself somewhat fair for its day), Rarotonga surely is one of Mexican comics’ first mixed race baddies to gain consistent international popularity (at least in much of Latin America).

He’s also the f...

Why do we?

Isn’t it interesting when you’ve been looking for a ton of anime terminologies that deserve to get attention? There are so many Pers-Kun movement terminologies that deserve international recognition mainly because it’s actually pretty hard to document such terminologies.  Obari Pers-Kuns  Obarism: The highly similar approaches that Masami Obari and his friend Yousuke Kabashima amongst the Obarians animate very complex yet still readable things that go side by side.
