:slap:OPs 4chan post reminds me: Was just pondering about Bocchi, the Chainsawman doe, etc yesterday in the shower. Hate this stupid anxious anime/game girl trope. It’s like a safe fetishization & mockery of real socia/psychological issues, ones that affect men more, and to a harder degree, imo. Yet here’s a bunch of “le cute grils doing anxious things” to muddy any real messages that could be said, encourage fanart for clicks. I hear nothing of how “uplifting” Bocchi is to watch by even the most libtard of redditcucks, because it’s not trying to be. It’s sanitized. At best, I’ve seen applause for its quirky animation styles, and of course the big tiddy fanart, not of its substance.
Reminds me of seeing those studies of suicide rates of men being double that of women, but articles & the establishment claim “women most affected!”. Make an anime of realistic male equivalents of these characters, and watch the ratings and popularity plummet. No one would want to see truth, just mindless escapism masquerading real issues to feign depth (while really just trying to sell a product) https://shota.house/notice/AbZCqkZVimi37AGmsi
@RehnSturm256 >Reminds me of seeing those studies of suicide rates of men being double that of women, but articles & the establishment claim “women most affected!”. Make an anime of realistic male equivalents of these characters, and watch the ratings and popularity plummet. you don't have to, that's literally ever western cartoon. i saw the new episode of Invincible with friends and every dude is pathetic and insecure while the girls are confident and making moves. the whole reason people are moving away from that is because that is not an idealization of the sexes. the damsel in distress trope has been around so long for a reason.
@skylar I’m going to raep Bocchi if I see her irl :cat_stare: I’ll give her something real to be anxious about (like whether we should raise our kids close or away from our families, and how many kids can she handle).
