though i think there’s a solid argument to be made for most of these being conservative, even if not in ways this guy would necessarily recognize as such. name a series on this and i could find a legitimate, not a bit reason it’s reactionary. that goes triple for one piece

    Damn, Bocchi is fascist :(

    Also isn’t Jin-Roh about how fascism dehumanizes and destroys its own? Chud media literacy is a joke, obviously, so I assume they just see the aesthetics and think soypoint-1 “WHOA COOL NAZIS”

      yeah jin-roh is about how fascism dehumanizes and destroys itself, but it does very much aestheticize the whole thing to a slightly worrying extent

      i don’t really have an answer for bocchi beyond high school anime broadly is about making the most of the last time of freedom you have before going into the meat grinder that is the japanese workforce/college, but that’s a symptom and not actually the anime itself being conservative
