ABSTRACT

Psychological projection can be used for agitation and propaganda. Right after the Snow Man's success, in 1944, Fischerkoesen, this time without the help of Mollendorff, did another short film, The Silly Goose. In 2015, there was an anti-Israeli propaganda video that was released by the so-called Islamic Revolution Design House, a group of hardline Iranian activists. There is an animated CG part that shows heavily armed militants standing side by side, first a few, then more and more, prepared to march on Jerusalem, the images underlined by a martial score. The activists have no personality, they wear black masks. Psychological projection also supports activities in merchandising. Propaganda and promotion have a lot to do with each other. Preadolescent girls will like the magical girl manga-turned-anime Sailor Moon and teenage girls a new movement in manga and anime toward sexy heroines.
