I'm glad for that little shoutout to Goblin Slayer there that correctly associates it with fascist ideology and imagery :scared-fash:

In 2023 - it’s Harem in the Labrynth in another world or Worlds end harem.
Possibly Shield Hero.
Possibly Shield Hero.
In some versions of that incel power fantasy trash, the false rape accuser character is (CW: extreme sexual violence)
spoiler
raped to death and dismembered before a cheering crowd and it's presented as poetic justice.
:agony-4horsemen:
I stopped during the first episode.
It seemed like it could have been okay with the multi-verse.
But then the false rape accusations followed by slavery, I just couldn’t.
It gets worse. So much worse. And of course the slavery is presented as justified and a good thing that makes the slaves happy as long as the master is mediocre enough to be not too cruel to his slaves.
Some good stories came from "isekai" concepts (Visions of Escaflowne, and in non-anime/manga, The Neverending Story) but it's being strip mined as a genre into spank bank power fantasies with :freeze-gamer: characteristics over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again now. :pathetic:
Ah. Yeah. I’ve met fans of these shows at anime groups.
There are 2 types -
The kind who have no media literacy on this because they just like seeing cool fireballs and are somewhere on the spectrum (normally mentioned early on)
The guys who really like that shit, but they mostly try to talk at cis-women about it and don’t take mild suggestions as topics try and shift. They tend to get banned soon after as a hazard.
I usually hear "IN THE LORE" as an excuse for everything, or even "THAT IS EMPOWERING ACTUALLY BECAUSE SHE GETS POWERFUL WHEN SHE FIGHTS FOR SENPAI" and other :kombucha-disgust: arguments.
Love when the lore simply is and had no human write it.
Thermian arguments intensify :so-true:
I miss how the OG isekai involving mainly schoolgirls were just far better because they didn't pander as though their audience were just grungy r@pe gremlins, Miyazaki was right anime was a big fucking mistake
In the year 2040, Reito Mizuhara is a young man who is put into cryostasis while awaiting for a life-saving treatment to be developed in order to cure the rare disease he suffers. Five years later in the year 2045, Reito awakens to discover that, in this period of time, an extremely lethal and contagious virus called the MK (Man Killer) has emerged, which mysteriously affects only males, causing the death of about 99.9% of the world's male population except for approximately one million survivors who were put into cryostasis before being infected. Much to his surprise, Reito also learns that he is one of five men in Japan who somehow developed immunity to the MK Virus and, as a result, is required to participate in a breeding program by impregnating as many women as possible so that their children can replenish the world's population. While Reito investigates the secrets surrounding the MK Virus and the mysterious disappearance of his childhood friend Elisa Tachibana, the series also shows the perspective of the other men who have developed immunity to the MK Virus, each with their own circumstances.[4]
THIS FUCKING TRASH :agony-4horsemen:
Kino
Harem in the Labrynth in another world or Worlds end harem
These are actual mask-off names for incel slop now. :agony-4horsemen:
Yeah. Anime has “advanced “ past Goblin Slayer and into full on jerk off while having a power fantasy shows. That get simulcast in the US streaming. So some poor fuckers scramble to get out subtitles on these shows.
I keep hearing how there's "plenty" of non-cryptofascist incel pandering slop in the industry, but it rarely gets funding, attention, or for that matter reach compared to the cryptofascist incel pandering slop coming out at the same time more and more year after year. :doomer:
The biggest shows last year were: Demon slayer (plz don't confuse, this one is about 1 good boy empathetically killing rich people allegories), Kaguya-sama: love is war, spyxfamily, Lycoris recoil, chainsaw man, bocchi the rock! and Gundam: Witch from Mercury.
Chainsaw man and Gundam have heavy leftist themes. Lycoris recoil is gay, and along with demon slayer are heavily action oriented shows. The rest are cute comedies aimed at normal people. Bocchi was a word-of-mouth smash hit, but the rest of these shows had marketing budgets that probably dwarfed the entire production budget of something like World's end harem.
All the thinly veiled far right isekai stories usually originate from studios desperate to adapt self-published webnovels in the chase for that sweet sweet sword art online money (goblin slayer, shield hero), but they're finding that well to be dry cos those stories only got "popular" because only terminally online Nazi's read them, and the mainstream continues to be dominated by Weekly Shone Jump adaptations because WSJ has editors.
And even in that web novel space there's push-back-we just had an isekai where the protagonist does the radical action of... Killing slavers and emancipating slaves. (reincarnated as a sword) edit: So I wouldn't get all doomer about anime just yet. Until something like goblin slayer gets into WSJ, things haven't gotten that bad.
(guy who cannot fathom criticizing art outside of its own text)
:frothingfash: it only shows that stuff because the goblins are evil like havnt you watched the show
According to the lore the goblins can not be reasoned with and they even did a sexual violence in the first episode therefore unlimited genocide is justified and good and funny! :so-true:

SMH I can't believe the goblins are white liberal coded
:took-restraint:
I never finished Goblin slayer but I never saw it as fascist but I can totally see how fash would latch onto it
Oh shit, goblin slayer is back? Forgive me JK Rowling, it's time to go back to the old me :bugs-bunny-old-me:
From what I learned in this thread, there's worse now to feed the /pol/ hogs. :agony-4horsemen:
Right wing ideology delivered by a man with a coffee can stuck on his head.
