Redman Princess: Akuryou Koujo

Sadly, those fetishes have taken over what might have been a compelling plot. Now we've got a Japanese girl possessed by a vengeful Native American shaman that wants to, in no short order, destroy whitey, become a lesbian, and smoke kush.

All of that sounds positively amazing, like what are you doing here if you didn't expect batshit nonsense, the thing is written by the dude that did Cynthia the Mission.

He has way too many weird fetishes, making this quite a dumb read what is he even aiming at with this? in one chapter there was bondage, piss, maids, lolis, lesbianism, etc.

 

I didn't even bother to read, but i saw Trump and a fence, and will assume he is in favor.

I'll still stick with it, but if this weird pissing stuff becomes the norm, I'm out.

I feel like author either dislikes japanese prime minister, or likes, but has lots of wierd fetishes.

IHateYouForThis, I have to say, that was some keen analysis.

Well, anyway, they addressed why the curse lost it's effectiveness. Personally, I think the story would have worked better if Tecumseh transmigrated into an Ainu. Him becoming Hime is strange to say the least. 

I feel this would have worked better if it was retooled. Japanese and Native Americans did cross paths in WW2 with the Navajo code talkers. Perhaps one of them could be a skin-walker. A Yasunori Kato cameo might be interesting too (in either version).

Hah. As a Native American myself, there's a lot more to this story. The biggest reason for the decline was due to ignorance/stupidity on behalf of the colonizers

regarding disease and our susceptibility to them. We had no immunity, and it killed millions. Of course, there were exceptions, such as the siege of Fort Pitt, in which the British intentionally infected blankets with smallpox (Amherst, the bastard), but that was more of an outlier.

Second, people erroneously seem to think we're a monolithic people instead of many tribes of varying beliefs and culture. You can see the contrast in how the tribes in Canada dealt with the vikings, and what the other tribes did with the pilgrims. Some tribes were peaceable, others were more combat-focused.

Third, the situation with alcohol did have a detrimental effect on many tribes. Conversely, so did the selling of tobacco to the whites, which my tribe, the Lumbee, benefited from.

Fourth, the asshole who should have been the target of Tecumseh's ire was Andrew Jackson. He pretty much normalized the mistreatment and treaty-breaking that became rampant when dealing with Native Americans which became the de facto standard of governmental abuse (Trail of Tears/Indian Removal Act). Unfortunately, Jackson took office about 6 or so years after Tecumseh passed.

Fifth, their are many indigenous tribes around the world that get the shaft. From the Maori, the Sami, to the aboriginals, and Japan's very own Ainu. They too deserve a spotlight.

Sixth, manifest destiny. 

Tl;dr: while race and a clash of cultures were certainly a driving force, the perhaps biggest reason for the subjugation was because a multitude of decentralized and scattered forces could not withstand one that was centralized and united in purpose. And there were good and decent people in the government who tried to make their opposition to the mistreatment known. Obviously, not enough to alter its course, but characterizing the whole issue as a race war is an oversimplification. 

Also, I like isekai, cliched though it may be.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I pretty much agree with you on every point. It's not a race war except, as appears to me, in the minds of rather insecure people in dominant positions.

To your first point, I believe that it is an increasingly accepted theory that native North American cultures may have been impacted far more severely and at a far earlier date than was generally thought of, such that when European colonizers arrived, the native tribes they found were really survivors of civilizations that suffered what amounted to an apocalypse (think if the Black Death was even more contagious and lethal...). The Spanish were there to record the horror that befell Tenochtitlan during their initial wars. No "white man" was there to see what happened in the intervening century as the plagues spread north. Far south, there are even theories that human habitation and civilization in the Amazon forests were far more extensive than we believe possible, though that is still a controversial theory.

To your second point, that's part of why I thought this cartoon so stupid in its racism. Just North America alone is a giant continent. Moreover, there weren't abundant evidences of human sacrifices among many North American native peoples, if any at all -- certainly not any more than generally found in most cultures (human sacrifices happened everywhere -- ask some poor concubines buried in Chinese Shang tombs or unlucky kings' daughters in Greek myths). Large-scale ritual human sacrifices occurred in Mesoamerican civilizations and to a much lesser degree Andean civilizations, not, as far as we know, anywhere north of the Rio Grande. So when the caricature Native guy has this motley collection of racist stereotypes put in his mouth...yeah, lol.

Third point, agreed.

Fourth point, Jackson's legacy is increasingly tarnished by revisionism -- a legitimate historiographic practice, by the way -- the same way Columbus' is. Fairly, IMO. He contravened the United States' own constititution and the verdict of its Supreme Court for greed and land...and notice how so many modern "constitutional originalists" ignore and explain away the crime. Oh, and he caused a major recession through his war on the banks.

To your fifth point, I believe the United Nations has served as an unexpectedly effective liaison on the movements to bring attention to the plight of indigenous peoples worldwide, and despite everything (check out this other guy with his "Mohammedean" (wtf?) post), the world is moving in the right direction on this issue.

Finally, with regards to well-intentioned supporters from the "oppressors" side, in the early 16th century, the Jesuits famously argued that native peoples have souls and should be treated with basic humanity and brought to the Light of Christ, etc., and they sought to, sort of, do right by the native peoples of what is now modern Venezuela and Colombia. The argument was rather infamously opposed by the power of the Spanish Empire (although its then-monarch, Charles V, was rather in favor of the "yes, natives have souls" side, he was hampered by "political necessities," namely the greed and rapaciousness of Spanish nobles in the New World whose gold shipments funded his European adventures). Speaking to the modern day, I'm sure you also know in much more intimate detail than I am about the US government's major shift in policies with Native Americans after the Civil Rights Movement, with the reassertion of tribal sovereignty and self-rule, albeit deeply plagued with problems to this day. Our Tecumseh here should probably change tack and get into politics instead of killing American presidents.

Back to the manga, I find it very unusually Americanized, like the author is a fan of American comics and knows of "NYC's America." Weird, and fascinating. Check out the street food guy.

Worth more views! 

Andrew Jackson saved more native tribalists than folks commonly reckon.   Just as (I) Harry S Truman saved all of the Japanese  people and culture by dropping two A-bombs.  Without which the US, China and Russia would have invaded the Japanese Islands and left nothing.  No people, no culture.    (II) The Anglo-Dutch slave trade saved Africa and many many black African descendants.   This slave trade was in opposition to the original slave trade in Africa which was (1) inter-tribal and very deadly,  (2) largely kept alive and controlled by Mohammedeans, and they would kill or blind a lot of the prospective slaves, leaving only the docile and compliant (the "submissive", the "islamified").   

I guess Tecumseh is going after Branco first:

reagan.com, conservativedailynews, racist insult on Native Americans.

 

As cliché as an isekai webnovel.

Lets not start this kind of debate here.

Why the hell not?

By the way, fun fact: Japan islands also had natives when those who currently called Japanese colonised them.

Don't really know the details though.

You do realize America's environment has been ruined right? Massive crop failure caused by over farming contributed to the great depression. It took a Black guy to rediscover crop rotation in the U.S even though this was technique perfected by Native Americans. Native Americans lived passed 29 and didn't have super fund sites where there are huge environmental disasters like when the U.S dumped nuclear waste off the shore of New Jeresy.

Ah yeah, the latter bit was me mixing it up, will re-upload it.

No worries, it happens to all of us. A pretty intriguing concept (with some interesting genre tags as well).

That curse was broken in 1980 by Ronald Reagan. And why the hell is he in Japan? In a schoolgirl's body? Is this some occult exchange program, with Yasunori Kato heading to the states? Also, shouldn't it be descendants instead of ancestors that he's after? Does this mean he can traverse time too?

Well, why in Japan is because of the jewelry. The seller did mention it was stuff from the US. I imagine the ancestor/descendant thing was a mis-translation.

A peculiar premise so far.

Damn I thought Redman out of the Wutang Clan got another Manga.
