The author has straight up admitted to being turned on by very creepy stuff. So no interpretation is really needed.

Question. Is the x pronounced? Or is it just called "Spy Family" when spoken out loud. Same with Hunter x Hunter I guess.

As with all this poo poo, depiction is not endorsement and explaining is not support.

Lolita and Lord of the Flies are two great examples of it. The original books at least.

The underlying requirement is what does the depiction and involvement of children experiencing weird and bad poo poo bring to the story and overall narrative.

The Lolita movie was one of the finest examples of someone not getting the point in western media. I don't know if the author lived to see it but he was aggressively critical of many western interpretations of his work for wanting to see the child as a sex object complicit in the situation.

I don't think Japanese views the X as the letter X. It's read as either a blank or a cross, which is why x gets used for crossover names (such as Super Smash Bros x Undertale).

You're right, and I agree there's space for it when it's handled in an appropriate non-leering way. Higurashi and Umineko both approach topics of abuse to child characters well, and to meditate on generational abuse cycles and the child welfare system. They're not perfect, but I can make a personal judgement call there that it's coming from a sincere place.

To wrap it around, I really don't get the point of Mother's Basement's "hot trash" videos. They all just seem to be a place for him to rec anime that caters to his tastes but he knows are too horny to unironically promote, so he does it under a guise of "so bad it's good." I guess this is why I prefer to wait until the end of a season to check out any anime that looked interesting, or see if it gets enough positive buzz from friends or online, if I haven't read the manga before and like it from that.

thats kind of just the shield a lot of these guys use. like that Trash Taste Podcast crew who go on their podcast and talk about how hard anime is to rec because its too horny and objectifies women and then go on their youtube channels and 'ironically' do nothing but talk about hentai

i liked the guy who got a week probe for doing the self-depracating thing of introducing something by talking about its most objectionable characteristics, and referring to reading umineko as "reading a VN about a guy attempting to grope his underage cousin", and getting banned. truly the best and most accurate way to describe umineko i can think of

The thing that gets me about the "b-but the WORLD BUILDING" arguments is that even if Horrible Fetish Story has good world building or whatever, so loving what? It's the easiest thing in the world to find a piece of fiction that's hot garbage with a few cool ideas within.
