Ministrul japonez de Externe l-a rugat pe Trump să nu mai posteze meme-uri cu personaje din Pokemon, Naruto și Mario pe platformele social-media
Japanese officials have urged the U.S. government to stop using popular anime and video game characters in political memes. This request follows a petition signed by 30,000 Japanese citizens against the use of these characters for electoral purposes. The controversy intensified after President Trump shared an AI-generated video featuring Naruto, which upset fans. Japan's Foreign Minister criticized the use of such characters in political messaging, emphasizing their cultural significance. Despite these appeals, the Trump administration continued to post videos using various popular franchises.
