Lack of Diversity in Sailor Moon

OP it sounds like you would have been a fan of Saban's Sailor Moon had he got the rights to this anime 20 years ago and not DiC.

Remember that leaked Toonsmaker pilot video of his Sailor Moon showed a diverse cast.

Personally it never bothered me because like others Japanese animation it is just an exaggerated drawing of Japanese characters.

If any, maybe they will make a Sailor Earth and Sailor Sun and they will add the diversity to the team.


and the whole world has to answer right now just to tell you once again. Who's Bad?

If you believe that each one of the Senshi needed to be a different ethnic group that hails from a different country, then you're kind of missing the point. How in the bloody hell is Usagi even supposed to go find them if they're off in Australia or somewhere else? She's fourteen and has no means of even doing so. The other Senshi exist to PROTECT HER, their princess. Of course they had to be reborn into nearby locations so that they would be readily on hand to serve their purpose as her protectors.

THis is why politicial correctness needs to be kept on a very tight leash and why people need to stop obsessing with "diversity". It CAN and HAS impacted works negatively. Besides which, it is a Japanese show set in Japan. No, the lack of diversity does not bother me, nor should it you.

Who gives a sh*t. Why does everything need to be diverse nowadays? Being diverse is only necessary if the story is about race, etc. This show has nothing to do with race, so it doesnt have to be diverse, if it doesnt want to. & its annoying that all these dumb over-sensitive people think everything is racist, just cuz its not diverse, UGH!

In real life, not every single group you see is diverse & has a person from every race in it. So yeah, It doesnt matter.

I've learned that even raising any question of ethnic diversity among Sailor Moon fans causes a panic.

In fact, most Sailor Moon fans I've run across will call you racist for even suggesting that the Senshi being ethnically Japanese objectively are so much better than them being any other race. This thread's reaction is mild in comparison to what I have been through.

The lack of diversity -- and more specifically, the background from which they come -- does affect me because it is a silent, unavoidable reminder that one can never be too rich or pale in this world, and merely reflects the racism of everyday life.

I honestly hate the white-washing of Setsuna... She get's lighter and lighter. When in the book she appeared black.

Your mind is in Disturbia.

Watch this vid, You made a dumb comment that the charcters are drawn as white characters. You don't understand the artstyle they are not drawn as white characters nor do they look it

Some of your other posts made me laugh

Maybe nowadays the concept would likely be diffrent but back in 1990 i m sure Naoko was just catering to Japanese audiences. Very Few Anime back then ventured outside of Japan or brought characters with unique backgrounds together.
