WhiteExodite (npub1xcq…h0nf) I get what you’re trying to say, I just don’t think any fiction now has any masculine qualities, or is even trying to be powerful in its themes/commentary, whatever, in a healthy way. It’s all Jewish or feminizing ideals.
I don’t know how it holds up, and it’s still pretty goofy and humorous, but “Welcome to the NHK” tackled male distress better than anything today at least. Some of the shit in that anime was REAL. Not the greatest example, because NO ONE WANTS to approach helping men in meaningful ways in fiction, which is why no one makes stuff like that in the first place. (Again, that’s the issue). no one wants to address men struggling mentally, no one knows or cares what that is like, and then suicide rates keep going higher and homeless/mental health clinics keep piling up, and no one sees the obvious reasons why. Our societies, and now even in our media, view men as EXPENDABLE. They don’t care. Hell, I think Berserk had better depictions too, but that show wasn’t ABOUT male mental health, per say. And MHA isn’t focused on that either (it’s a superhero shonen, not a tale of overcoming anxiety as it’s driving factor).
Stuff like Bocchi knows this, it’s trying to market cute girls under the guise of having le quirks, and that is my problem with it. At least Watamote tried to capture more of the awkwardness vibes of what an anxious NEET girl is really like (again, though, it’s always in a comical way, never a sympathetic way).
