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

        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.

          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.

        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]

          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.
