Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Japanese anime
Glad they narrowed it down for us.
It makes me think of the line from "Supertroopers"
Its Afghanistanimation!
If they said "One Piece Flag" it would have made even less sense.
Jolly Roger, a personalized pirate flag is a jolly Roger. A generic one is the just referred to as the color of the flag, the black, the red, the green. You'd raise either version and your national flag if you're a legit privateer, otherwise you'd strike your port flag or better yet raise a false port flag.
My point is they could have just said anime because all anime is Japanese.
Which you can "Ackchyually" and end up with really interesting results.
For example, if it's the animation studio that defines it, then Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is an anime, as it's by Science Saru, the same studio responsible for Dandadan, and the netflix Castlevania is a cartoon.
This is a fun topic to discuss because in Japan, if I say anime, it defaults to "Japanese animation" but probably because that's just the overwhelmingly dominant type. I don't think anyone would bat an eye if I called something like Scott Pilgrim or Powerpuff Girls an anime here. Although, you might add the country of origin as a descriptor (カナダアニメ、アメリカアニメ, 中国アニメ, etc.).
The one exception I can think of is Disney. I think we call their works Disney movies or "Disney animation (アニメーション)".
"There are some people who are participating in this trend … and haven't read One Piece from the start," he said.
Wow, anime fans really haven't changed in the last 40 years, huh
It’s a fucking pirate flag.
The Straw Hats are all about personal growth, friendship, etc and they’ll take down the world order to do it.
Indonesian government has been regressing badly lately and finally some global coverage even if its through anime memes.
We should copy this. We are all searching for the One Piece: freedom, democracy and welfare for all.
I disagree.
Like a religion, a cut-rate anime show should not be our rallying call.
This is only getting publicity because of fanboys, and we should be above exploiting their naivete for our own gains.
Compromise?
I get the reference on the one hand but I'm concerned what people who don't follow the series might think that flag means. (I can think of other sorts of imagery from One Piece that might have been a lot better to reference, honestly, like either the

Also, professor Suyanto's analysis:
"And I see it as effective … their voices became louder and many political elites have responded, though whether [their] response meets the public expectations is another matter."
"They don't need to take to the streets, confront authorities, or face police batons."
That’s all we got…?
