Concerned about the massive image problems it suffers from being a noisy cesspit of far-right racists, 2ch’s VIP board has decided to design a loveable moe mascot for the Internet right – and so Netuyo-chan was born…
For those not entirely au fait with 2ch’s politics, a brief explanation: 2ch is notorious for harbouring an Internet-only strain of extreme right wing nationalist known as the “Netuyo” (from “net uyoku” – Internet right wing), usually to be seen making racist remarks about Chinese and Koreans whilst denouncing anyone else as being a traitor.
Offline (or even by the rest of 2ch) they are generally regarded as creepy NEETs and hikikomori attempting to compensate for their miserable condition by denigrating others – needless to say, if anyone could benefit from a cutesy moeblob mascot, it is likely they.
The fruits of the “Make Netuyo-chan Moe Project” are visible below; the general consensus appears to be that she should be a one-winged angel wearing either a military uniform or traditional Japanese clothing:
Netuyo-chan being roughed up by evil slant-eyed ascii-art Koreans (less politically correct Japanese depictions of other East Asians usually depict them with narrow eyes, demonstrating that an absent sense of irony is a quality shared by nationalists the world over):
Sayoku-chan (“Leftwing-chan”) dressed in a Korean dress and indignantly proclaiming she is not engaged in any anti-Japanese plotting at all:
None of this seems likely to approach the serendipitous glory of Hinomoto Oniko (whose creators were apparently not all great fans of the Internet right, whatever their scepticism of Chinese attitudes to Japanese)…
The Japanese FOX News group?
Everybody saying about the internet right wings made me thinking about some things.
1:”Internet-only strain of extreme right wing nationalist” are nasty. But…What image of “Internet left wing” we have? They agree with Comunism and Socialism than democracy?
and shall the right wing not use the internet to express their political opinion? Can only leftists do it?
2:Being called like “Internet-only strain of extreme right wing nationalist” by only is strange. Why I am not called Integralist or Nazist by just singing the national national anthem in my country?
3:Japanese Left wings refuses to sing the national anthem and hates the actual japanese flag.
So, what kind of change on then they want?
Oh please. Socialism works perfectly well with democracy. Communism doesn’t because it will always be transformed into a one-party despotic system.
There’s a VERY clear difference between ULTRA and normal tendencies. Ultras are exclusively communists and/or nationlists. whereas the more level-headed people are either socialists,liberals or conservatives with different priorities.
If you take the posts of 2ch as an indicator, most of its denizens are ultra-nationalists. But thats mostly what you can READ there. In reality, it might just be a bunch of idiot hikis trying to sound extreme.
In any event, they are assholes. Simple as that.
They got this idea after they watched the EP 224 of Gintama.
Sooooo when they say 2ch is a bunch of far right wingers they mean that these people would support Michelle Bachmann or what?
Ok, now do Hitler.
