UNO DE TANTOS ARTÍCULOS QUE NO SIRVEN PARA SER ACREDITADO EN LOS SALONES DE FICOMIC.
One Piece: la cantante prohibida en China por la tensión entre Japón y China por Taiwan.
One Piece: la bandera usada como protesta en Indonesia.
No creo que La Maginoteca logre alcanzar el número de artículo de años anteriores en un único mes. Lógicamente, lo intentaremos... de todos modos, el impacto positivo básicamente me afecta a mí:me lo paso bien.
Demasiada gente escribe, y alguno me lo ha dicho en persona que "no se mezclen los bonitos tebeos con la fea política". Todo es Política, todo afecta a la Polis.[comando buscar: Nino Bravo, más abajo]
Los tebeos y chistes gráficos, por supuesto.
Y además, como politólogo y sociólogo, es obligatorio buscar datos y analizar el discurso subyantente en todo tipo de textos.
Ultraderechistas contra El Cu-Cut, contra El Papus, contra El Jueves contra Charlie Hebdo, contra tebeos variados en bibliotecas USA... parece haber un patrón de conducta de gente de las amplias ultraderechas ultranacionalistas, las que usan el nombre de Dios en vano, imperialistas israelíes y desigualitaristas. [más abajo. comando buscar: "ni de izquierdas"].
Ahora le toca el turno a One Piece, la serie de anime y manga.
Los fans chinos se molestan porque afecta a los ciudadanos chinos (¿son ciudadanos los que no tienen derechos plenos y sí un carnet de puntos por buen comportamiento o son clientes de un Estado capitalista que los usa como mercancías?). One Piece se ve inmerso en la lucha diplomática entre la República Popular China que busca un imperialismo creciente en sus mares circundantes que, oh caramba, está repleto de Estados independientes, que miran de reojo a los grandes países y que tienen resquemeros entre ellos y cn China... y en el centro está Taiwan o República (Nacionalista) de China, a donde se fueron los no-revolucionarios cuando la Revolución de Mao de los años 1940. Japón dice que nada de invadir Taiwan.
Pueden ser varias cosas pero igual Japón ve lo que yo. ¿No habeis jugado nunca al Sid Meier's Civilization o Civ? Pues ahí cuando los imperios son inmensos se tragan a cualquier país pequeño. Rusia contra Ucrania, USA contra Venezuela (Venezuela a favor de la invasión de Ucrania... que se puede ser tontos, miserables y pro-criminales de muchas formas pero no de una que te deje sin argumentos para ser invadidio) y China contra Taiwan... dinero, recursos de energía (petróleo, tierras raras), "siempre ha sido mío", los mismos argumentos y las mismas causas sin parar.
The
abrupt cancellations of several Japanese music events in Shanghai - one
of them midway through a song - have sparked criticism among fans, with
some calling the moves "rude" and "extreme".
Maki Otsuki (大槻 真希 Ōtsuki Maki)was halfway through the theme of hit anime One Piece on Friday when the lights and music went off, after which she was rushed off stage by two crew members.
On
Saturday, pop star Ayumi Hamasaki performed to an empty 14,000-seat
stadium after organisers axed her concert in Shanghai, citing "force
majeure".
While
responding to a question in parliament last month, Takaichi, known to
be a vocal critic of China and its activities in the region, suggested
that Tokyo could take military action if Beijing attacked Taiwan.
Beijing views self-governed Taiwan as part of its territory and has not ruled out the use of force to "reunite" with it.
Both sides have since lodged protests against each other, and the rift has also affected daily living in both countries.
Otsuki's management attributed the interruption of her performance on Friday to "unavoidable circumstances".
"Other
than the performance being cancelled, there were no particular
problems, and the local staff were very kind and helpful," it wrote in a
separate statement on Monday, in which it declined interviews on the
matter.
Her performance was part of a
three-day music festival in Shanghai, for which subsequent events were
also called off after "comprehensively taking into consideration various
factors", according to Japan's Kyodo News.
The BBC has reached out to Japanese entertainment company Bandai Namco, who is one of the organisers of the festival.
Asked
about the incident at a daily media conference on Monday, a
spokesperson from Beijing's foreign ministry told reporters: "I suggest
you chat with the Chinese organisers."
Some of Otsuki's fans have made a meme comparing the shutting down of her performance with the shocking removal
of China's former leader Hu Jintao during a Communist Party meeting in
October 2022. The meme went viral on social media, over the weekend,
with some saying Ms Otsuki was given "the Hu Jintao treatment".
De Wikipedia:
On
social media, some accused the Chinese authorities of taking away its
own people's freedom to enjoy culture, in its attempts to sanction
Japan. "What's the point of turning the spearhead toward its own
citizens?" read an X post written in Japanese.
"Don't you care about the audience - they are after all Chinese, right?" wrote a user on China's X-like platform Weibo.
George
Glass, the United States' ambassador to Japan, joined the conversation
online. "It's truly regrettable that there are people who can't feel the
power of music," he wrote in an X post which also included a link to
Journey's Don't Stop Believin'.
"Maki-san, Don't Stop Believin'—keep holding on to your convictions!" he wrote.
However
the incident also fanned nationalist sentiments on Chinese social
media, with some asking why the event was allowed in the first place
given the diplomatic row.
"How could the event have gone on at a time when the whole nation is angry with Japan?" a Weibo user wrote.
Hamasaki, who was in Shanghai as part of her Asia tour, said she was suddenly asked on Friday to cancel her concert.
The
pop icon went ahead to perform to 14,000 empty seats as part of her
appreciation for the "people in the company, the Chinese staff, and the
large Japanese family that fought through this tour" she wrote on
Instagram.
"I still strongly believe
that entertainment should be a bridge that connects people, and I want
to be on the side of creating that bridge," she wrote.
Two weeks ago, Chinese state media announced that the releases of at least two popular Japanese anime films will be postponed amid the diplomatic row.
No encuentro el meme.
Pero es que resulta que en 20250807, la bandera pirata de One Piece ya fue usada como protesta contra la deriva autoritaria (dictatorial) de Prabowo cuya política derechista se resume en lo de siempre: se recortan presupustos público y se tira el dinero en burdas banderas. Claro: eso tiene un límite y hay quien se molesta de que le tomen el pelo. Porque los de arriba o siguen cobrando mucho o se suben los sueldos y colocan a su clan mientras empobrecen a los demás... que lo sabemos, oiga, que es lo de siempre y no han inventado nada.
Flags from the anime One Piece have emerged across Indonesia as a form of protest against an increasingly centralised government
In
the popular Japanese anime One Piece, black flags bearing a skull with a
straw hat are carried by a rowdy crew of pirates who have made it their
mission to challenge a draconian regime and fight for freedom.
But in July, these emblems started popping up across Indonesia – along doorways, on the backs of cars, and painted on walls.
For
many, they were a response to Indonesian leader Prabowo Subianto's call
for Indonesians to fly their national red and white flag ahead of the
country's Independence Day on 17 August.
Instead,
some Indonesians chose to raise these pirate flags, known as Jolly
Rogers, as a symbol of their discontent, with many criticising what they
say is an increasingly centralised government led by Prabowo.
But
the movement has not been well received by all. Earlier last week, the
country's Deputy House Speaker criticised the flag displays, calling it
an "attempt to divide the nation". Another lawmaker even suggested it
could be treason.
One Piece, first published in 1997 as a manga by Eiichiro Oda, is one of the most popular franchises in the world. The manga has sold more than 520 million copies while the TV series has run for more than 1,100 episodes.
The series has a large and dedicated fan base in Indonesia, where Japanese anime is well loved.
In
the same way the pirates in the series, led by their leader Monkey D
Luffy, raise the Jolly Rogers as a symbol of freedom against their
government, some Indonesian residents say raising the flag is a "symbol
that we love this country, but don't completely agree with its
policies".
The anime reflects the
injustice and inequality that Indonesians experience, said Ali Maulana, a
resident of Jayapura city in the Papua province.
"Even
though this country is officially independent, many of us have not
truly experienced that freedom in our daily lives," he told BBC
Indonesian.
For him and many others, the decision to fly the flag was a response to a speech given by President Prabowo in late July.
"Raise
the red and white flag wherever you are. Red represents the blood shed
for our independence, white represents the purity of our souls," Prabowo
had said.
Dendi Christanto, who owns
the Wik Wiki apparel store in Central Java, said he has received
"thousands of orders" for the flags following the president's speech.
"Since the end of July, I received hundreds of orders a day from all over Indonesia," Dendi told news outlet Jakarta Post.
Some top officials however, have been less than impressed.
Deputy
House Speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, widely regarded as Prabowo's
right-hand man, described the movement as "a coordinated attempt to
divide the nation".
"We must collectively resist such actions," he had said earlier last week.
Another
lawmaker from the centre-right Golkar Party, Firman Soebagyo, suggested
that displaying these flags could even amount to treason.
But
on Tuesday, the country's state secretary minister Prasetyo Hadi said
the president himself had "no objection" to the flags as a form of
"creative expression".
"However, it
should not be used to challenge or diminish the significance of the red
and white flag. The two should not be placed side by side in a way that
invites comparison or conflict," his office said in a statement.
In
Indonesia, there are no laws that restrict the display of fictional
flags, but the law stipulates that if they are flown alongside the
red-and-white national flags, the country's flag must always be hoisted
higher.
Police in the capital
Jakarta have said they are "monitoring the use of non-national flags and
symbols that don't align with the spirit of nationalism, including
pirate or fictional-themed flags".

In
February, thousands of Indonesians took to the streets to protest
against budget cuts and legislative changes to allow the military a
bigger role in government
'A threat to national security'
Indonesia's hard-won democracy, the third largest in the world, has faced growing challenges in recent years.
Its popular former leader Joko Widodo rose to power as a promising democrat, but his one-of-us image lost some of its sheen towards the end of his second term, when he revived the death penalty for drug traffickers and appointed Prabowo, a controversial ex-general, as his defence minister.
Public
frustration has intensified since Prabowo took over as president last
October. In February, thousands took to the streets to protest budget
cuts and legislative changes that would allow the military to take a bigger role in government.
"The
red-and-white flags are too sacred for us to raise now," said one user
on Instagram, in a post that has been widely shared.
And
while some lawmakers have criticised the display of the Jolly Rogers,
others say they accept it as a form of public expression.
They
are a way for people to "convey their expectations", said Deputy Home
Affairs Minister Bima Arya Sugiarto. "Such a form of expression is a
natural phenomenon in a democracy."
"This
kind of symbolic action is better than street protests that could turn
violent," said Deddy Yevri Sitorus from the opposition Democratic Party
of Struggle.
Because of One Piece's
popularity among Indonesians of all ages, the flags have offered a way
to "raise awareness around political issues in a different and unique
way", said Dominique Nicky Fahrizal, a researcher at the Center for
Strategic and International Studies.
And for some Indonesians, the government's mixed response to the Jolly Roger underscores the symbol's power.
"By
treating a cartoon flag as a threat to national security, they have
inadvertently validated the entire premise of the protest," Farhan
Rizqullah wrote on the Medium publishing platform.
"They have shown that the dream of Monkey D Luffy, the simple, unwavering desire to be free, is the one thing they truly fear."

Puede que los tebeos no sean ni de izquierdas ni de derechas. Pero recuerdo haber leído que el Franquismo prefirió los tebeos a otros medios de comunicación: en lo que es un insulto múltiple para comenzar contra los tebeos como forma de expresión.
Puede que sus empresarios hayan sido más bien de derechas: en Estados Unidos lo tenían claro y con sus chistes gráficos atizaron la guerra imperial contra Puerto Rico y Cuba, más que contra España. Pasaron a depender del imperio USA. Varios presidentes y sus equipos y la CIA del la segunda mitad el siglo XX y principios del XXI pasaron por las colonias cubanas ellos o sus padres en la primera mitad larga de siglo XX... undostres, Kennedy... etc.
De dibujantes y humoristas detenidos, asesinados o de gente alrededor de esas industrias como el portero de la revista El Papus asesinados... hay muchos.
Parece más fácil matar a alguen que dibuja y escribe que a alguien que escribe. Mucho más fácil que matar a alguien con un arma.
Es conocido desde 1920 que es más fácil sobrevivir en una guerra si eres militar con traje ¡y no te digo nada si te regalan varias estrellas y te sientan a dirigir en un bunker subterráneo a diez mil kilómetros del frente! que si eres un civil en una ciudad. Los bombardeos de Guernika, Barcelona, el ignominioso Carnicerito de Málaga, la muertes en la costa de Málaga,. en Hiroshima y Nagasaki o en Berlín o Kaliningrado, Varsovia y otros lugares... en el Chile del Antofagasto Panocho o Augusto Pinochet.
Cuando el famoso cantante Nino Bravo cantó o le hicieron cantar América en los años 1970 no era musica popular ansiada y aupada por las juventudes española ávidas de diversones sino una versión top-bottom (concepto de Comportamiento Político) por el cual los líderes españoles intentaban reducir el antiamericanismo existente, forjado desde abajo y también instigado durante décadas desde arriba, de cara a admitir bases miliares y un sometimiento extremo de España bajo USA en Política Exterior, Defensa y Energía Nuclear. Lo mismo volvimos a escuchar en 1985 en la canción América, América en La Vuelta Al Mundo de Willy Fog... No hubo una Asia, Asia, pese a que se pasan la mayoría de episodios en ese continente. Tampoco hubo un India, India ni un Japón, Japón. Eran tiempos en los que los líderes consideraban que modernidad era USA, igual que lo poco que sabían de democracia y el sometimiento vía OTAN ahora a la política exterior, imperial y miliar USA. España tenía que ser parte de USA, una colonia más y había que aumentar el número de habitantes a favor de eso, y reducir el número de críticas.
Sin embargo, en 2003 todo el mundo sabía que USA era un peligroso enemigo de la humanidad, un vampiro que mataba gente para extraerles su petróleo y eso también lo sabía el hipócrita asesino de Aznar : 200 muertos instigados en España, y un número ignoto en Afganistán o Irak, Ah, no, que él no lo mató a los de los trenes: y tanto que sí, él puso a España en la mirilla de los terrorista, Aznar había desmantelado la seguridad completa de los trenes desde 1997 y se había hinchado los carrillos y el bigote de decir que él era el garante de la seguridad... era alguien que acababa con ETA cada semana y así lo decían sus voceros periodistas. Revisen si es mejor ser un asesino o alguien que convierte a un Estado como España en un Estado fallido en el que deja de funcionar la seguridad básica de sus habitantes (Hobbes). Lo mismo sucedió años después con Zapatero quien gastó un millón diarios durante un mes en matar libios y destruir Libia... cosa que ha fomentado la inmigración ilegal en el Mediterráneo. Lo importante era ser parte del imperio, aunque se destruyera todo.. Y se llega a aquel Pedro Sánchez que vendió el Sahara Occidental a Marruecos para obedecer la última decisión del primer mandato de Donald Trump antes de que intentara pegar un golpe de Estado en el capitolio porque perdió las Elecciones durante 4 años... El precio que cobró Pedro Sánchez lo ignoramos. El que pagaremos en España y el que pagarán los saharauis... ya veremos.
