20 hours agoThat’s fair, there’s pedo stuff in 3 and 4, I was just thinking of the “habit” Araki fell into of depicting eroticized assault of minors, which I don’t think starts until 7.

She’s a Murata OC too, so there’s all the more blame
Hasn’t Shigurui been finished for a long time? It’s just the one fight and its backstory, not the whole original novel.
“Extremely” is an exaggeration, just looking at the text

I need to assume that you’re basically accusing it of doing a Goblin Slayer, and I likewise need to insist that this is a very lazy reading. It is made very explicit that being a demon is basically a transmissible human health condition caused by medical experimentation. No one has been or seemingly could be born a demon (the only apparent exception are those sub-sentient fish creatures the jar demon spawns, but they also might just be an extension of him since demons are many times shown to have these sorts of connections to each other or separate parts of themselves), they weren’t born out of anything but humanity, and the condition can even be reversed medically, though that discovery is of course late-coming. On top of all that, it is readily shown that demons can be good people who don’t do murder, and indeed ~4 are shown to choose not murdering, it’s just that the people Muzan picks out are ones who are more likely to give in to the desire to eat people. There are many things separating this conceptually from some sicko racial allegory like Goblin Slayer is.
Did you read any part after 6? The content of 7, 8, and I think 9 in the very first chapter (I forget the age of the character assaulted there) make it obvious that he’s fine with this sort of thing.
Yeah, I mean, he’s made her a series mascot while her design gets increasingly sexualized to the point that it’s like a step below softcore loli. I really like the series otherwise, but the depictions of Tatsumaki that he goes out of his way to add make me uncomfortable. She’s not like that in the webcomic! She’s closer to being a sassy moe blob.

It’s worth noting that the first case, the one that all of Part 1 hinges on, is very clearly meant to be understood (eventually) as some sicko shit and Denji ultimately surrendering his free will to her in a proactive manner is unequivocally his lowest point, and it’s clearly because of a combination of her grooming and her machinations to create and then destroy his positive relationships that he offers himself up in such a way.
I think the Reze is supposed to be his own age. Himeno you might be right about, but I think she doesn’t actually find out his age until the morning after their aborted fling, at which point she lets it go.
3·1 day agoAre you sure that bad isn’t baed and elephant isn’t something else?
These are literal translations of names mostly chosen for sounding at least a little like the country’s name in its own language
Well, the west doesn’t recognize it as a country in the first place, so it’s consistent.

2·2 days agoThat some people would buy something does not mean the proletariat as a bloc supports it. Very many people think sports gambling on this digital industrial scale is absolutely fucked, and from a democratic standpoint, if the majority believe that, the thing to do is ban it. Moreover, even among the 19% of Americans who use these apps (and not all of them are devotees, mind), a meaningful portion of them are there because of advertising glamorizing the apps, and a fair portion are still there because they are addicts, i.e. it’s not a choice being made freely. It seems like an obvious measure to present the options of banning or re-legalizing it with a discussion on things like gambling addiction.
As an aside, I am once again asking you to read Mao: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-1/mswv1_2.htm#g9 . Once workers are given power, it is entirely possible for them to take action against the gambling that has troubled their community under the dictatorship of the owning class.
Based on limited information, I don’t like all of the measures described there, but I think it’s unquestionably superior to the previous state of things because what is lost were some cultural affectations and hobbies, and what was gained was freedom from both psychological and chemical addictions, along with food security, safety from banditry, lower rent, political representation, etc.

None of them are good, but 9 is truly wretched
Odd that the pants are all hell
“. . . well yeah, I’d veto any such bill, but I’ll tell congress to keep trying if it wants to”
Makes a surprisingly good argument for how term limits are anti-democratic
