Brazil’s Violence Through the Eyes of a Japanese Manga Author - Favela No Mangaka

  • Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
  • Here in Brazil we love anime and manga, not most of us, but the otaku market here is definitely OK for an economy like ours, which is a pretty shitty one.
    Brazil is well known worldwide for a bunch of stereotypes, like oversexualization, the looming presence of violence in the streets, and that every Brazilian knows how to samba and play soccer. This actually causes many discussions here in Brazil.
    A lot is being said about a manga that launched a couple of weeks ago, a manga not only about the Favela’s culture, but about dreaming big. From the appraised author of Asper Kanojo. Today we will talk about Brazil’s violence in the eyes of a Japanese author, today, we will talk about Favela no Mangaka.
    I would like to say that this whole video is basically a reflection of a Brazilian around topics like Brazil’s representation, the correct use of stereotypes and not only the recommendation of this manga, but of a few others that are 100% Brazilian. Our manga authors really need all the support they can get, and we have some really good ones, but we will focus more on that by the end of the video.

      tbh if the mangaka wanted to depict violence, he should have chosen the northeast region or rio. São Paulo is the safest state in the country when it comes down to homicides per inhabitants. And the reason is partially that, contrary to the manga, there is only one facção in SP, PCC, so there are no gang fights. So yeah most likely the worst that can happen to you in the capital is getting your cell phone stolen.

      @@supercyc10 basically, his scriptwriter (if he has a scriptwriter other than himself) has a too superficial understanding of our history (and Japanese history) to speak with such propriety.
      an example that can illustrate the plethora of problems found in the video: when he talks about "Japanese" persecution in Brazil, especially the banning of Japanese language schools, he fails to mention that similar measures affected Italian and German communities during World War II. He also fails to mention the Nazi missions that sought out "Aryan" brothers in the indigenous peoples of the Americas, putting Brazil's national security at risk through future separatist processes. In fact, this was the great fear of the Brazilian state: that immigrant communities (Germans, Italians and Japanese) who (some of them) self-isolated as soon as they had the ability to acquire property (nothing more natural), would start secessionist movements supported by the great Axis powers. Furthermore, he projects an North American axiology onto Brazilian national politics that, frankly, never existed.

    Bruh, I'm a Carioca and I live right by Cidade de Deus, in one of the neighboring favelas, and yet I could see everything that happened to the MC happening here. Although the public's reaction would be different. We're quite reactive here in Rio, and if something - anything - happens in the city, the entire Metropolitan Area will get to know in a couple hours. Not to mention there would protests around the vicinity of the shooting.
    The manga focuses more on São Paulo's urban violence, but I think it captures it quite well. So well, in fact, I think I'm gonna give it a read. It's bean years since I accompanied a good manga.

      In San Paulo people would react as well, especially so close to Paulista Avenue. That part made no sense, it makes me think the author never came to Brazil. His portrayal is actually very naive and dumb, as if everywhere in Brazil people are used to violence and poverty in the same way, instead of the mixed bag that you get depending on income, ethnicity, state, city region, etc.
      And really, people are passive everywhere, not just in Brazil. But not with violence (very few places people would ignore a gun shot like that as if it's just another Tuesday), but poverty. It's normal to see people ignoring beggars and extreme poverty. But that happens everywhere, including Japan as well.
      Boogiepop, a novel made in Japan, has in its first pages someone looking like a sick beggar, having trouble walking and moaning in pain, yet no one helps. And the hero screams in disapproval towards the crowd that is doing nothing about it.

      But I agree with the "ignore the shooting" bit. Seems that's an exageration on the author's part to make it more dramatic.
      Here in Rio, at least the favelas, people are mostly "used to" gun violence. I say "used to" because that's something that simply no one ever actually get's used to. For real, I wonder what kind of brazillian is talking with the author. From the panels the OP showed in the video, it seems that whoever is talking with him showed him quite an extreme vision of Brazil.

    It makes me every happy to see someone be well received when portraying another culture respectfully. I have been working on a comic set in Argentina. And even though my parents are Argentinian, I was not born there and thus feel like an outsider. I research my culture whenever I can. I have characters of multiple cultures in my story, as Argentina is very multicultural and I always worry if I’m portraying their culture wrong. Especially of our minority groups. I want to make a story that reflects multiple sides of my country of heritage, not just the European side that most of the world sees. I’m Mestizo, but not many can tell based on my appearance, so I don’t know firsthand the struggle that Mestizo and Amerindian people face. If anyone has any advice please let me know :-)

    Minor correction when you were talking about Aspergers in the beginning, or simply put, Autism, as Aspergers is just a lighter part of the spectrum and isn't an Official therm anymore... Calling it a 'Mental ilness' isn't accurate. Autism isn't an ilness, it's just a condition, just something you're born with And makes you different from most.... But that's about it. When undiagnosed and ignored, it /can/ lead to mental ilness like anxiety and Depression, it can often be linked with mental ilness like ADHD and at when it's an advanced level of autism it can very heavily affect a person's mind..... But aside from that, and specially considering you said Aspergers, yeah, it just is what it is.
    That's all. Much love, fam. Will definitely read that manga later. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

      Thanks for the clarification! When researching for the video, I got this definition for "mental ilness": "A wide range of conditions that affect mood, thinking and behaviour" so I thought it would apply for Aspergers/Autism. In the future, I'll pay more attention to it. Thanks for the correction!

      @@TheMangotaku No, it is completely understandable, really. Really, calling it a Disability more accurate than an Ilness.
      Specially considering in the smaller scale, it really doesn't affect your life that much, it kinda just makes you -in a very oversimplified way- awkward and quirky in a few ways ig (that's me).

      ​@@LucasF25 sorry but, as someone with autism too, i do agree with most of what you said but, it's not something that should be taken that lightly either, i have what you may call "low level of autism" (wich isn't the appropriate term anymore, as it is to call it a "spectrum" where you're simply in some way there) but my life is pretty hard because of it, of what society is built like, for allistic people. So it's not just being a bit quirky or smth, it's a disability that really affects life...

      I'm doing fine, lol. I mean, obviously you have your own struggles but everyone does. Aside from the social aspect, i'm pretty alright, although i still could use a Psychology focused on Autism to help improve my condition even more.
      Like yah, obviously it's a disability, everyone knows that by now, but considering some people tend to see autistic people as nothing but the Higher levels, the people that actively can't function by themselves, and the people low on the spectrum are just pretending or doing it for attention or some shit.
      Besides.
      I literally said it was a oversimplification, therefore, not accurate.

    Muita gente reclama que o manga não parece tão realista assim e que a situação é exagerada e com estereótipos. É um ponto valido.
    Porem isso ñ quer dizer que o autor ta distratando o Brasil e isso só ta acontecendo pq é um manga sobre o Brasil.
    Num geral a maioria dos mangas são assim, até mesmo de manga sobre o japão. Esses mangas com máfia por exemplo são bem exagerados, assim tbm como os sobre jovens rebeldes ou molecada de gangue.
    E isso é so um exemplo.
    Não acho particularmente ruim usar estereótipos, desde que ñ seja pra ofender.
    Até pq estereótipo todo mundo tem de algum lugar.
    Pode ser que a historia surpreenda no futuro e tome um rumo diferente da expectativa.

    As a paulista, my only resentment is that the author portrayed São Paulo having Rio de Janeiro in mind -as he was inspired by “Cidade de Deus”.
    There are no dangerous slums near Paulista Avenue, and the people from São Paulo haven’t normalized seeing dead people on the streets. (As messed up as it sounds, in poorer areas of Rio de Janeiro, seeing dead people on the streets is normal, due to the big presence of gang activity.)
    And I also don’t know about any favelas that are near a landfill in none of the 2 cities fr (like the landscape where the mc found João)
    So the lore doesn’t seem that beliavable to me. If only he had drawn RJ hahahhah
