Heck, themes can happen even if they're unintentional.

Bold...But I agree.

I don't really care if someone really loves the Skeleton show or whatever awful isekai. but imo what's bad is pretending all the bad stuff was invented for the anime and that the series doesnt have any of that at all, so they can act offended/shocked every week while watching it

There is already a thread for gross isekai just use that for in-depth discussion past the initial episodes if no one wants to make a specific show thread

It is funny to me how sometimes it seems like people who like something with uh, risque content either don't notice? how bad it is when talking it up or just selectively remember the good parts and not the rest and idk if it's like a desensitization thing or what. I know I have definitely forgotten about objectionable early content in longer (bl) manga that I had to backtrack on when I gave it a skim and was like, whoops that's a little yikes probably needs a heads-up CW. It's not a big deal imo to provide honest content warnings for stuff you like that has scenes that people might not want to see and should have some upfront notice before viewing. Sometimes it feels like people somehow didn't notice how raunchy something could get or deliberately downplay it to....idk make it seem more "wholesome" or something. Like, is it not wanting to acknowledge that [thing I like] is also [thing with some gross scenes]? I guess it also goes hand in hand with watching entire shows while performatively declaring "actually I hate this" the whole time lol.

I think there is a balance that can be found between gushing effusively about how great the rape isekai show of the season is without caveat and the zorak zone of forbidden shows no one may speak of and imo that involves being honest about potentially upsetting content with up-front and clear content warnings so people can draw their own conclusions, and also being able to read the room a bit and be able to determine "ok maybe this show is one I don't need to laboriously rant about in the season thread in detail after every episode" even if you're watching it for hate reasons or because you (secretly/genuinely) enjoy it. If anything, if a show compels enough of a reaction that it needs that kind of vent or dissection then it also should be getting a thread of its own where all of that can live and the folks who want to read it can hash it out in there and the season thread doesn't get derailed with it.

This hits the nail on the head really. I actually was sort of interested in the Skeleton show cuz people hyped it up as a "wholesome Dad series" and then oh. no that's not it at all and people just made all that up cuz they don't want to admit they like a show with some unsavory stuff in it?? It just hurts everyone involved imo.

I'm still agreeing with Squark that imp is some 12 year old who inherited his dads SA account or something.

I'm glad I simply do not watch these shows, instead of having an encyclopedic knowledge of the problematic elements of each one.

99% of the people who love the shield hero show do not even conceptualize the slavery part of it from what I've seen. And hell, Good for them.

Beginning to think maybe Raccoon Girl slavery is good now.

i'm almost 100% sure, without even looking for it, that there's gatekeeping in the higurashi community about playing with the original soccerball hand sprites

Gatekeeping is good.

Can't wait for the inevitable botched Ciconia adaptation in 2050 when it's finally finished. :cheerdoge:

Give me literally anything that Shikimori has done that absolutely any romcom under the sun hasn't.

Hell the premise isn't even that original, it's literally "Girl is good at things typically ascribed to men."

And Fate was doing that back in '06.

Except, y'know it had the balls to give King Arthur a vagina.

You all are being weird about someone thinking/wanting to ship two girls together

I don't think that's what's happening, actually.
