When I see Persona 4 and 5, it now makes more sense. They see themselves as the villain and they’re okay with that.
Spy x Family is the only thing I can squint and maybe see where they’re coming from. It’s about a simulated nuclear family becoming more organic, which I could see appealing to conservatives but not edgy 14 year olds that would see themselves as Adachi. Because even then, while the west are the “good guys”, most of the anime has been more about trying to establish peace rather than genocide the east.
These people listened to Mr. Nanomachines, Son! and were like
"he’s so true just like me frfr"
