Hot damn, I should rewatch Ghost in the Shell

Obligatory twitter link

Oshii: It's directly related to my work, so I have a strong aversion to bringing political correctness into the world of games and anime. Because everyone who plays games wants beautiful and cute girls. I feel the same way. Why do I have to show my ● s there!

Oshii: Political correctness started from the idea of giving legitimacy to the socially weak. There is nothing wrong with that. In a mature society, it is a natural responsibility. However, the problem is that it has taken that as its starting point and made the socially weak into the strong.

Oshii: They were given priority in getting into school, and priority in finding a job. What’s more, the companies that advised them charged them ridiculous amounts in consulting fees. Game companies ask for hundreds of millions of yen from them.

Oshii: Basically, it’s based on admiration! If you deny admiration, entertainment loses its reason for existence as entertainment. In the past, even if you said “beautiful” people would say it was discriminatory. Western games are really terrible, political correctness

Oshii (live-action version of "Snow White"): Fairy tales are worth constantly reinterpreting. That's true of classics. I've used "Little Red Riding Hood" many times myself. The idea that the original is absolute and nothing else is acceptable is problematic in itself, but when you use it to make a political statement, it's a different story.

Context: Oshii is Mamoru Oshii, who directed the original Ghost in the Shell and wrote Jin-Roh The Wolf Brigade.
