I mean, how did he qualify “Westernize”? His own works are a good example: Love Hina, Negima, UQ Holder etc are all great stories. But they very much rely on many tropes that either won’t fly nowadays (Love Hina) or sexualizing of underage characters (Negima) that simply doesn’t translate well in countries with stricter age of consent laws.

In some good news, Trump has cancelled his Jan 6 victory tour. No doubt because he’s still sore about how his recent rallies have had embarrassingly low turnout, imagine if his failed coup on the nation conference was met with a similarly failed attendance rate?

As it goes, Cohen was initially arrested for his crimes acted on behalf of Trump. He was sentenced and served some time in prison, however he was later put on house arrest for fear of Covid infection. But during that time he wrote a tell-all book against Dear Leader, so Trump sicked his attack dog Barr on Cohen and put him back in not only prison solitary confinement. He apparently was treated so harshly that he came down with PTSD over it. He was able to get out and back in house arrest some time later, and now is seeking litigation against the former dog of the former president.
That’s some authoritarian despot stuff right there.
