Honestly if you spend any amount of time in academia you will absolutely see the humor in the most obsessive, one dimensional individuals rising to the top of their chosen field in a setting where their glaring personality flaws are, if anything, a competitive advantage. Between this, Jujutsu Kaisen, and other series it's hard not to see this as a conscious and deliciously cynical trend

Muzan converted a guy in the middle of a crowded city street and people were still able to rationalize it away. Basically the only people with direct knowledge of the existence of demons either immediately die or get into the Slayer Corps' orbit, either as a slayer or their network of allies. For the most part, both the demons and the slayers seem to move in more peripheral, rural (or criminal, in the case of the Entertainment District) settings which allow them more discretion to operate openly. With the exception of Muzan, who enjoys using the mask of an urban sophisticate (even though he's just a garden variety dickhead). The series' setting was deliberately chosen to be the time of modernization and societal transition. The Slayers' war against the demons is a proxy for the idea of "progress" triumphing over superstition and fear. Most characters have backgrounds that reflect the harsher aspects of feudal culture: in Kanroji's case, its intolerance of differences, arranged marriages, and generalized misogyny. This theme is something that becomes a bit more clear toward the end of the series (especially the epilogue).
