    Not sure about Maeda, but I have a good example that perfectly represents what all Japanese people think of when they think of punk

    I dunno, I tend to rate KS more on the heavy side than light side. It has it's moments, but it gets pretty heavy pretty often.

    Sepia Tears. It's free, it's a good mix of light and heavy emotions. It's free. And it's good. No harem. No fanservice. No sex. Just mystery, romance and humour.

    If the main character is Japanese it makes sense, right? I thing I'm working on is set in America but has a Japanese girl moving from Japan to America, so obviously it would make sense for her to have a Japanese name.

    It depends who you're talking about. There are plenty of white guys who do understand the system and how it came about. The problem lies in the idea that we're automatically racist because we were born looking the same way as the ones who created the system, and it's something that gets levied at us every time something goes the way that is seen as white guy advantage. This election is a perfect example. If you really think every last vote for Trump was the result of sexism, or racism, and there are plenty of examples out there that show people think this way, there's a problem.
    Not to mention, when you even bring it up as a problem, you get shouted down. Kind of counter-intuitive to a group that claims they like inclusion and wants to be the party of everyone. (Of course, politically speaking on a national scale it's all a load of bullshit, but I digress.) It also doesn't help when the narrative is incorrect. Take equal pay, for instance. The Democrats love to pull out the old "70-something cents on the dollar" line. It rallies the base, gets women angry at men. "You stupid men, you make more than us you sexist jerks." The problem is that old stat still comes from a pool of every job out there slammed together and spitting a result with nothing else in mind but men versus women. There have been studies that show when you account for factors in jobs that are the same (ie, not putting engineers in with school teachers, etc.). Pay between men and women are pretty equal under those circumstances. The factor? It comes in what jobs men and women choose to do, mainly being men go into higher-paying fields. So the solution isn't some "equal pay" legislation, it's get women interested into going into those other fields. But that doesn't make for a good bumper sticker, right?
    Even in the waning moments of Clinton's campaign, she was more focused on "Love Trumps Hate" then anything else. The slogan itself basically tells anyone voting for Trump that you're a "hater." That's not going to endear you to anyone but those who are "already with you."

    There's also that sense in the South and other places that they really dislike being looked down upon by those in other areas, also known as elitism. Maybe it's real, imagined or unintentional, but those that have higher educations from the North and West Coast are seen as elitist and trying to tell how everyone else should be "because they're right and we're wrong." It was a big problem Al Gore had in 2000, whether it was there or not, and it's something that's prevalent today. Basically, the perception of a know-it-all asshole telling you what to do can really hurt a candidate. Clinton has always struggled to really resonate with that sort of voter - let's face it it, it's hard to argue about "white privilege" when you're a walking example of it. (Yes, Trump is also a walking example, but it's not an unspoken part of his platform.) Whether Hillary did something criminal or not, the view is that her being rich and powerful let her get away with things others can't. Her daughter they tout about? Private school educated, hedge fund manager, hasn't done a real day of work in her entire life. That's great for her, but it's textbook elitism. Yes, Trump's kids are the same. But because Trump didn't come off as elitist (and his kids are much less well known, aside from Ivanka) and Clinton did, his kids didn't really hurt him, but I really don't think Chelsea helped Hillary at all and may have hurt.
    A lot of the gun control boils down to the fact that we have a mess of gun laws that aren't enforced very well anyway, and adding more really doesn't help. We really need some sort of clean up on gun control. The one snag is that there's a group that doesn't want to ban assault-style weapons. The other main issue, really, is we need better mental health care attention in America. The mass shootings you see pop up every so often are usually (not always) the result of some white kid not right in the head seeking revenge or attention or both.
    Which brings up another point that sounds laughable but is actually a large factor. In the race to be inclusive, the straight white male is being shut out and shouted down. Equality for all is a wonderful goal that needs to be reached, but you can't do it by exclusively shouting down one group, just because they have the "misfortune" of being born like the previous ruling class. If you keep saying to them, "You voted against Obama because you're racist," or "You voted against Hillary because you're sexist," and on and on, you're only inviting them to keep doing the same. That's not to say there aren't sexist, racist votes (there are), but to counter that there's another ugly truth - there are people who only voted for Obama because he's black, for Hillary because she's female. Obviously not everyone who voted for those two are like that, but you can't get away with saying that. Tell someone they only voted for Obama because he's black and you're going to get nailed by tons of people. Tell someone they only voted for Trump because he's white or male? Crickets, or agreement. Does that sound acceptable? If it does, you're part of the reason why Trump won. The country is becoming more inclusive, but the straight white male isn't going anywhere and if you want them to see things your way, you have to be as inclusive to them as well and listen to them and what they have to say.
    We're a pretty darn good country, and we still will be. But we have some issues that need to be ironed out.

    Generally, Americans do not trust their government, especially in the Southern US. They would rather see the states run the show on a local level, than a large federal government. So anything that gives the government more power, and say in their lives, they don't like. A fear of many people against universal healthcare, is the government telling them what they can and cant have treated, where they can and can't go, and eventually, what some have labeled, "death panels" where the terminally ill, mentally ill, or elderly are denied healthcare to save costs. You can laugh at that fear all you want, but, at least here in the southern US, we are taught to not trust the federal government, to work more on the state level. This argument, strong federal gov't vs. strong state gov't goes all the way back to 1783 when the government was being set up with the Articles of Confederation, and again in 1789 with the Constitution. 
    The irony in all of this, is the fact that many of these people want the government to dictate lifestyles and keep the LGBT community chained down.
