What it was really like being 30 in the 80's: (It's a metaphor for being afraid of AIDS)

Is it? My understanding is that Japan didn’t have a lot of awareness of the AIDS crisis (and still doesn’t really?)

I thought the body horror was more associated with fears of scientific progress. I’ve only seen Akira once so I’d love to watch it again in light of other interpretations.

That part was just a joke. I'm saying the image itself represents being 30 in the 80s and being afraid of the AIDS crisis. Not that Akira itself is a metaphor for that lol

(It’s a metaphor for being afraid of AIDS)

Is that really what Akira was about? Or is that just some overzealous weeaboo grad student's opinion?
