Why is there so much pro demon propaganda in manga and anime?
They are almost always nice and cute misunderstood bakas.

Because japs like oni and the opposite site of demons is usually angels and japs don't like Christianity
Ian Taylor
they're coming
Benjamin Morgan
Its not propaganda if its true
Justin Young
Japan isn't christian it's Shinto an animist faith based around a multitude of spirits and gods and as such their ideas about demons are very different.They're much more afraid of angry ghosts than demons (with the exception of oni who basically are their demon equivalent)
Thomas Hall
Not having been marinated in the Abrahamic religions like the West, demons hold a different place in Japanese society.
They're usually agents of change and not necessarily evil.
tl;dr when shit gets boring, demons show up.
Luke Adams
I'm sure that loli demon will join them.
Sebastian Young
The horns make for perfect handles
Justin Taylor
Oni are vicious man eating monsters though.

Japanese demons are usually evil. But they are fun evil so everybody likes them.
Jeremiah Johnson
Why is it always cute "young" oni?
Josiah Wilson
There are enough cases when a series puts them alongside angels and makes it clear which sorts of demons they're using.
Wyatt Taylor
The etymology of the word demon is from the Greek daemon which was used to refer to any spirit; malevolent, benevolent, or otherwise. The Greek concept of all aspects of nature having animating spirits is a close parallel to Shinto beliefs, both being developed from animistic shamanism.

Daemon basically means demi god.
Liam Smith
Sure they understand the western concept of a demon but it doesn't hold the same weight to them. In the same manner as a Jinn means more to Arabs than it does to Europeans
Colton Reed
The funny part is that angels are usually the bad ones.
Jonathan Jenkins
When are they getting their own anime?
Nathan Garcia
That is not a demon and Oni are not demons

Demons weren't originally bad, if anything, there's a lot of antidemon propaganda in western stuff.
Nolan Clark
She's literally the maou of a demon country though.
Adam Taylor
you mean based ones
William Gonzalez
Well, it's better than being boring.
William Wood
Whats good is bad and whats bad is good. Up is down, so on and so forth. Angels are rigid and pious, demons are chaotic and immoral. Neither should be looked up to, humans aren't spirit creatures.
Jonathan Robinson
And I fucking love it
the only acceptable ones in my book are nazi murder angels and not-cosmic horror angels
Eli Reed
>hurr durr nips don't like Christianity
Completely false. Christianity is very present and accepted in Japan nowadays, maybe not as much as in Korea, but nips have had 8 Christian Prime Ministers.
