What #EducateAnime actually is...

Here is the current script for the video about #educateanime Hopefully this will give you all some clarity on what this movement is about, and then we can discuss this as our basis, and if there's anything people strongly believes as a policy needs to change:


Before I properly say what educate anime is I want to ask 3 questions, the movement is in-built to be about discussion so feel free to make your personal feelings known.
1) Do you believe that Anime is sexist or at least has a habit of needless objectification of either genders?

2) Do you believe that Otaku culture or at least Highly influential members in the online anime community help perpetuate the objectification of either genders?

3) Do you believe at all that due to the outcries of the community, that anime has become a stagnant medium where the mere idea of taking risks or changing styles homogenized until everything is basically the same?

Welcome to #EducateAnime! A new community movement that stays away from absolutes and instead sits on the fence where through discussion and controlled debate we attempt to combat sexism, objectification, and the homogenization of the anime community with the hope of doing the same to anime itself.

Y'see, in recent online movements regarding sexism in other industries both sides have a problem: Oversimplifying the issues to support their own ideologies. Educate anime is a movement that wants to combat a sense of hostility in the debate for equality through education. We're not out to destroy another group, we're out to discuss gender equality in our media, highlight possible problems, people, or areas that allow objectification and stagnation, and to try and alter the attitudes of those that perpetuate those areas not through shouting, threats, or stupidity. ambivalence is the route of the skeptic, and the route of study, equality will ultimately be found through community, friendship, and educational discussion, we're not here to silence others, but to encourage a sense of free speech. Equality will always be a complicated topic but one that we should strive for, however it also means allowing the complexity of the topic to be discussed. We're not here to murder your fanservice but instead to talk about when it is justified and when it is click-bait. Hashtag movements are problematic because they boil down complicated topics to 150 characters or less, screw that attitude, be it videos, podcasts, essays, blogs, the time for the discussion of equality is now, and the time to finally begin a new generation of sceptics, scholars, and the search of enriched, researched opinions and content is now.


EducateAnime never stands on one side of a line, it is a movement of open-minded discussion with people not necessarily being of the same opinion but of the same goal. Fight for equality regardless of gender, and to learn from each other to collectively educate ourselves on what needs changing and how we can do that peacefully, as a community!

Whether you're making a video on personal opinions of a show's representation of a 

characters sexuality or blogging about a content creator adding to a sense of inequality

just link it on twitter with the #educateanime let the community be entertained, discuss,

debate, and ultimately learn about it, and join a new revolution for equality, fence-sitting

, and ultimately letting a complex subject have complex opinions!

Educate Anime!
