But what’s the problem with excuse plots in this regard? This kind of feels like splitting hairs. It’s a plot that many find interesting, and it’s open to infinite possibilities. I don’t see what’s so context-less about it that makes it an excuse plot, or why that term is relevant here. Pretty much all plots are excuses in some way? I don’t know, I’m just not seeing what’s wrong with the plot, especially for the original Fate/Stay Night, where I feel like the plot is the strongest and most cohesive.

I won’t dispute the second point, there is leaning into waifu culture amongst male otakus. It wasn’t that way at the start in FSN, at least not to as shameless a degree, but it didn’t take long for that to change. And it had been that way even before FGO made it blatant.
