I can agree that they're theoretically trying to suggest all of those things without approving of the way they decide to do it. Mostly I just can't stand all this obnoxious SJW scrambling to try and plaster over the faults in their new favourite show. I don't give a fuck if people like it and it's stupid to judge someone solely on their taste in anime- it's okay to like problematic things, and I don't doubt for a second that there's a lot in it that's worth watching for the people who are enjoying it. But I will judge people for trying to pretend that something is somehow above criticism because reasons and then getting cranky and screaming that people just don't understand!! when people disagree for perfectly legitimate reasons.

pretty much this. in addition, don't say "I am okay with you not liking ___" and then spend the majority of your point defending ____ because it makes the first statement completely insincere. plus I can guarantee you almost everyone that doesn't like ___ is not interested in hearing why ____ is really okay, just misunderstood.

"I understand your opinion but disagree with it."

I'M A MONSTER!

you didn't say you disagree with it. you went on and on about how rape imagery was okay.

That's not even remotely accurate.

I went on and on about what I thought the show was trying to use the designs of the kamui and the idea of "getting naked" to symbolize. Did you even read the post or just the overreactive responses to it?

I did. You may not have realized you were defending rape imagery, according to your later backpedaling, but it doesn't change the fact that it's exactly what you did.

while i agree with anon's theory about the show's message, i still think that the way it expresses its message is gross and uncomfortable as hell, and there's a million different ways it could have been done better. it's like a messy head-on collision between "how can we symbolize vulnerability and unwanted attention?" and "how can we drain as much money from lonely otaku as humanly possible?" and when you try to condense those two goals into one, well..

"Mostly I just can't stand all this obnoxious SJW scrambling to try and plaster over the faults in their new favourite show."
Same tune, everytime. Come on, a show doesn't have feelings, you don't have to whiteknight it.
