Far-right podcaster and self-described theocratic fascist Matt Walsh once again grabbed attention for himself by making deliberately outrageous comments, this time claiming that anime is satanic while admitting he has no basis for that observation.
While rapidly rising in the ranks as one of the most influential anti-trans voices on the right, Walsh has also used his perch at Ben Shapiros conservative outlet The Daily Wire to trollishly whine about whatever outrage du jour bubbles up in right-wing medias forever culture war.
Whether claiming theres no scientific basis for a fictional Black mermaid, accusing morbidly obese weirdo Lizzo of desecrating American history by playing an old flute, or saying the racist Great Replacement theory is just a fact, Walshs perpetual aggrievement and casual bigotry have remained a feature of his commentary.
In a clip first flagged by Media Matters Jason Campbell, Walsh was asked by a viewer for his thoughts on anime. And just as hes done in the past with things he disdains, Walsh immediately tied it to Satan.
Its really popular amongst teens and young adults. I think its all satanic, he declared before noting he had no evidence to back up that assertion.
I have no argument for it. I have no argument for why its satanic, Walsh added. It just seems that way to me. All anime to me seems weirdjust like bizarre, creepy.

As my dad always said when someone had no argument, "Your saying so doesn't make it so."
