is this a fetish?

ordinarily i would say yes but i kind of suspect this is just meant to be funny

e: yeah no this is 100% just toilet humor

outside the scenes of him making GBS threads, which are pretty bluntly played as shock value jokes and not really sexualized, it's basically just the same joke of "guy's obsessed with shitters, elf girl goes :wtc:" repeated over and over

it's honestly kind of great in short bursts but i'm not really 100% sure if it can sustain itself

if a character from regular mundane Earth ends up in a setting that's not regular mundane Earth, it's isekai

Planet of the Apes counts for the same reason Now and Then, Here and There counts- far-future hosed up Earth is not regular mundane Earth. Dr. Stone counts for this reason too, though the sheer number of people getting isekai'd makes it an oddball one (though there's precedent for this with, like, the 1632 books).

FFX isn't isekai because the transportation is fantasy world -> fantasy world.

rip van winkle is an isekai

Rip van Winkle isn't a long enough period of time, it has to be long enough for there to be a massive cultural shift for it to be isekai

the most meaningful difference between the world he wakes up in and the one he fell asleep in is that he's old as hell

meanwhile in Planet of the Apes the world is now ruled by gorilla people, in Dr Stone 95% of humanity is statues and everything's basically destroyed, in NTHT climate change turbofucked everybody and warlords are using child soldiers to fight over the scraps

e: The Time Machine and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court would be my calls for the first two recognizable proto-isekai

I think Lynn is a hack writer with a piss fetish but I'd be lying if that still wasn't a neat concept anchored to a bad story.

is it really just him, though? like, the weird piss stuff that crops up in Okamoto's work honestly seems to just generally be a thing with edgy anime/manga/LNs and i'm not sure it's supposed to be fetishy so much as a shock value/"realism" thing

e: i will definitely say that Lynn Okamoto's work rides one hundred percent on shock value so it being intended to be insanely gross rather than sexy would be on-brand

to gross people out because the series is basically an excuse to cram in as much Edgy Bullshit as possible?

yeah that's fair

the stuff in Elfen Lied came off as just him trying to be gross as gently caress to shock people, but I haven't touched his current series so if it's more blatantly piss-wizard-y in that I stand corrected
