One would think that a person whose existence was the work of several teams of men seeking to achieve a single goal would have a lot of baggage, but no, the man is pretty much flawless. Joseph is charming, laid back at times, serious when appropriate, and above all, he’s powerful beyond measure. With the aspirations of certain individuals in history, one should think that eugenics is ultimately an abominable endeavour, yet here it is portrayed in a disturbingly positive light. Usually in fiction, eugenics is depicted in a negative light. This man truly is a perfect human being (he’d move Heinrich Himmler to tears). He’s a genius, his body is perfectly sculpted, he’s capable of effortlessly killing his “black foe” (a phrase used to describe the mutant roaches) in combat, and he’s highly charismatic. He rides into battle shirtless, slaying every roach in his wake, and any woman who lays eyes on him apparently. He’s humanity’s deadliest roach killer and the product of centuries of selective breeding. Meet Joseph Gustav Newton, a character described by the author as “Second only to God” and “#1”. Pictured: The culmination of 600 years of eugenics. This manga has some of the most clearly racist imagery that’s considered acceptable today, but what if it’s all a coincidence? Maybe the writer and artist are subconsciously doing things this way without realizing any of the deeper implications? I mean, you could reasonably see it that way, until you find out who the author dubbed the “Apex of Mankind”. Okay, okay, so I’m sure most of you get the picture by now. … The less said about this image, the better. The particular athletic activity he is emulating escapes me, but the NERVE of him. That fiend! Look at him, brandishing that poor humans head and running as if he was some sort of athlete. This savage apparently likes to accessorize! And check out that massive phallic cannon conspicuously situated between its legs… Nope, nothing of note in this picture! Moving on… Savages walking across an empty field in a land that does not belong to them! Well, sure they lived their first, but they’re clearly less advanced than the humans coming in right? Obviously, this means their existence is worthless, so the only sensible thing to do is exterminate them all! It’s best not to think about it, although that gun gripping method seems sort of familiar… These savage brutes seem to favour firing their guns with a side grip, no doubt some sort of strange ritual these thugs have concocted that is beyond our comprehension. To truly grasp what our righteous heroes are dealing with here, why don’t you have a look at some screenshots from the manga/anime: To them, this mission is of grave significance, one can almost characterize it as a burden of sorts.
#Terraformers uncensored series
The main goal of our heroes in this series is to slaughter all the savage native roaches in order for their race to colonize Mars. These super evolved roaches (known as terraformars, the manga’s namesake) are what I assume to be the most terrifying thing imaginable to your average manga reader…īlatant black caricatures! Approximately 2 meters tall, these dark skinned, nappy haired “roaches” are characterized by their ability to run incredibly fast, hit things incredibly hard, and be incredibly aggressive to humans. Part of the process involved sending roaches up there (since they apparently spread algae), and because this is a manga, those roaches have evolved into giant monsters. Centuries ago (which is the 21st century as this is a sci-fi series that takes place in the distant future), humans decided to try terraforming Mars in an effort to make it inhabitable in the event that the Earth stops being so. The plot for this series is the age old “humanity screwed up the Earth” story. There is no subtlety to it, it serves no discernible agenda, and is the purest form of stupid however with that said, it’s also kind of hilarious. The racism in the manga and anime series Terra Formars by Yū Sasuga isn’t like that at all. Yes, racism in media is most potent when it’s hard to spot, yet is simultaneously clear as day.

Maybe the writing of a show happens to portray all Asian men as effeminate and ineffectual weaklings, perhaps all black characters in a movie just happen to be layabout brutes with no thoughts or original ideas of their own. The kind that’s loud enough to be heard, but not loud enough to be seen. The most insidious kind of racism in media is the kind that exists just under the radar.
