Re: Is Harem manga / anime more feminist than it seems?

How does this affect whether you can or can't be a feminist?

Not ayrt obviously, but I think for a lot of us it's shit like this that makes us think: if this is today's feminism, do I really want to be a part of that?

I guess I wouldn't decide whether I care about an ideology based on one person's thoughts, but I see that a lot in regards to a lot of things now.

Basically one person says something dumb (or in this case, talks about something that isn't super important) and the whole group/movement/whatever is ruined. Like every person represents the entire thing.

It's not one person, though. It's enough to wonder if this is the direction it's going.

Except it isn't just one person saying dumb shit like this. It is multiple persons.

Thank you, that is precisely what I meant.

Who cares? Fans of a genre who also have an interest in feminism in media?

I mean, not everyone, but some people might want to discuss it, so quit being a fucking baby?

That isn't the problem here. The problem is that some feminists will jam square pegs into round holes so that they can find a feminist interpretation of anything they like. If a feminist likes a shitty harem anime, she has to write something like this so she won't feel like a bad feminist for liking it.

When actually, the more feminist thing to do is admit that not everything you like is feminist and it's still fine to like it. Sexism isn't going to be solved by pretending things you like are feminist because it suits you.

I mean, do you complain when when someone tries to explore how Breaking Bad fits into a framework of Kantian ethics? Or explores the economic implications of the standard weapon prices in Dungeons and Dragons? Or when someone looks at determinist themes in Sister Carrie?

Some people just like analyzing fiction from perspectives they are invested in or find interesting. I'm not saying that anyone necessarily should try to apply these analyses to every aspect of pop culture and exalt or condemn a genre on that analysis alone. But me, I always liked lit crit. I wish I knew more about harem anime to comment, but I could eat up this kind of a discussion with a spoon.

OMFG, people on the internet have different concerns! Whoooooooooooooo caaaaaaaares whether or not you in particular give a shit?

Re: Is Harem manga / anime more feminist than it seems?

Yeah I don't support women's equality because someone on the internet is thinking critically about anime!!! Right on sister!

Newsflash! You can support women's equality without aligning yourself with a toxic movement.

Too bad the anti-SJWs are as toxic as the feminists
