I just watched a pretty decent video about attack on titan from Just Write explaining it’s connections to the far right. Almost all of what it talked about was the later seasons that expand on the world or the life of the author. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwCCs6yTpPY

But like, I stopped watching a couple of episodes in because the vibes were fucking stinky man. I sniffed that shit right out. I don’t remember specific examples because this was a long time ago but the way characters interacted, the way the military was glorified, the way society was structured, the uncritical and simple perspective on the titans coupled with the personal hatred towards them. I don’t really remember though.

Why don’t people talk about vibes more? Like, everyone gets all surprised when I said that I stopped watching SAO after the first episode and concluded that it was one of the worst things I’d ever seen. Why does nobody talk about the vibes? I feel like they should be more obvious to people.

Also so many of the shows, esp shonen, that weebs obsess have the overarching subtext of, “this is how good shonen are supposed to act, and if you don’t act this way don’t complain when you fail.” Like, while they are living with their parents because the rents to damn high to move out. Like do you not see the mangaka taking the absolute piss out of you?
