it is funny seeing some dungeon meshi fans go "stop calling laios a pervert he's just autistic" like being autistic and a pervert are not mutually exclusive
you'd think by now there'd been enough anime that makes ppl say "it's well written and treats women decently unlike most anime" that that stereotype wouldn't hold up anymore
Look, I agree that trying to sell folks on original fiction by citing fanfic tropes is asinine, but at least "oh, it's got enemies to lovers!" tells you something substantive about the plot and characters. I once had somebody try to convince me to read a work of original fiction by telling me that it has a romance with a height gap.
when people who want to be vaguely progressive say 'nature' all secular style but it's painfully obvious they mean 'god' while thinking they don't mean god
person who has only watched one anime: what i really love about dungeon meshi is how it subverts our expectations of a typical anime by not sexualising women and having a good plot!
