A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.
Rules:
Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.
No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.
We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"
Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

"Love Japan " not represented in France wtf? We consume the most Japan media after the Japan itself :)
France is full of weebs??
Oh boy you have no idea , we had huge access to manga and anime since before the USA and that influenced a part of our pop culture since the 80s.
I was told by my parents(boomers/Gen X) that cartoons airing on Italian TV in the 1980s were anime. Dubbed and with a custom intro, sure, but anime.
That's possible I know that Spain had sometimes been ahead of France for dragonball arc. But i m a gen z I just heard that , i could be wrong
Fascinating!
Whe host one of the biggest Japanese culture convention every year.
They created the original weeb word in the 1800s, Japonisme
Especially during and just following the bubble economy in Japan, a lot of people would go to France and get completely shocked. They largely went to Paris and we're shocked that it was not romance, fantasy, and love, but regular Parisians. There is a word in japanese パリ病 (Paris sickness) to describe the disillusionment of it all.
For some reason, pretty much nobody knows that except the French, lol. I only know it because of Polandball.
Do you know why that is? I never really thought about that, but as a child, before i knew what anime or manga is, we went to france a lot on vacation. Back then the only anime i knew was heidi and drangonball, and that was before the frieza saga even aired. But there, kids my age had dbz video games, a ton of mangas and anime. I bought some mangas and was blown away to read the story where golu goes super saiyan.
And even now, i deadass wouldn't know where i would buy a manga, but if i cross the french border and go to a normal supermarket, they have a whole isle just manga.
The biggest tvshow aimed for kids switched from French cartoon to anime because it was cheaper ,so it influenced a lot the kids and our pop culture. That s one big reason , there are surely other factors but I don't know them.
Even ignoring media consumption, we have a ton of deluded Japan stans too
How slim of you.
