Do we really need a PhD dissertation for something that happens with literally every genre known to man?

[iff_and_xor]

Is this really an incredibly common trend for genres?

I guess I haven’t especially noticed them all going in the same direction. Are there a few specific examples that I could look at more closely to understand better?

[(Anonymous)]

Not every genre. There are some where the opposite happens: sports shounen manga/anime for example.

Fuck. Right? Mentrification at work.

(Not my term, sadly.)

[(Anonymous)]

omg I need this too. I really should have listened to my professor back in 1998 when he pushed me to consider a masters/PhD in modern media culture. I would have written the fuck out of a dissertation on this.

I don't know. Male-oriented isekai has been around for a long time, at least since the '80s and '90s. El Hazard comes to mind.

[(Anonymous)]

In shoujo, isekai goes back to at least 1976 (Ouke no Monshou/Crest of the Royal Family).

[(Anonymous)]

Is it, though?

[epicurean]

Oooh that would be interesting. I'd read/watch/listen to it.

[(Anonymous)]

Female-targeted isekai still exist, it's just hard to find popular ones that aren't very specifically about getting reincarnated as the villainess in an otome game. Because the markets have decided those are the only isekai women are interested in. And the numbers say... they're right. Or at least, that that type of isekai is so appealing to women right now that it overrides their interest in any other kind.
