This is just nonsense and I don't know where you're even getting it from. Can you produce an example of a human that displays sentience but not consciousness without some serious brain injury or developmental defect plausibly causing it? If not, what immense epistemic load is being accounted for with such a huge assumption?

If this is just more bad science about Genie or one of those, I swear to God . . .

Isn't that one of the more obnoxious ones, saying people would only be into Mao to get laid?

Being sarcastic is not sufficient to be satire

I mentioned in the other recent thread but Paperakyu has great politics, some of the best I've seen in a manga, which is weird because it very much feels like those weird existential comics that invariably have generally pretty bad politics like Oyasumi Punpun.

The one that has the best politics though is definitely The Promised Neverland

She wrote a book on genocide and purposefully excluded the ones the US was party to most directly (like Jakarta)

Paperakyu, sometimes stylized as PaperaQ, is a somewhat crudely drawn and very existential story about a kid who gets infected with a disease that turns his head into a melon-like crab. It is also the only manga I have ever read that directly and explicitly condemns the Japanese government for keeping its heinous butchers in charge after WW2. I'm not sure if it ended.

PTSD Radio is the only horror manga to successfully jumpscare me, which it accomplished multiple times, and in general takes many tricks and stylistic elements from film, generally to its benefit. Ever wonder what would happen if some scavenging animals dug up an idol of an angry, ancient god of hair? No? Well, perhaps now you are.

Plus her aryan vibes, I just can't stand it.

The tacit aryanism of the anglophone world is ridiculous
