In high school, my art teacher, who was a retired hippie lady with a lingering addiction to valium, failed my big storyboard project final I did with some Trigun Fanfiction I submitted because she claimed that anime as a whole is "derivative" & "artless" That racist shit fucked my GPA up so hard...
Michaela JoffeI had art teachers who’d tell people “draw american dammit!” cape comic fans in the sequential art program stole peoples’ sketchbooks and drew dicks in them because “anime is gay.” yeah no shit anime was popular, that popularity was what made people weird and racist about it!
