For once it's actually thematically relevant.

Now whether those themes are worthwhile is another question, but then again it's an odd question in the first place.

I mean fundamentally the majority of TV isn't at all 'necessary', why is this your line.

[volta_arovet]

I meant "necessary for the show" not "necessary for the world in general," sorry for being unclear.

I guess it might be better to say "is the show better for having it?" or "is it worth driving off an audience who would otherwise like it?" rather than "is it necessary." In the first episode, gosh, I so wanted to like it, but I kept getting thrown out of the moment because it kept creeping me out. I wanted to like this show! I really did!

For instance, cannibalism is pretty necessary to Hannibal, even though that concept can be alienating. It is thematically appropriate to the show, and the show would not work without it.

Shinji masturbating to completion over Asuka's comatose body was thematically relevant to End of Evangelion's "FUCK YOU FANBOYS THIS IS WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE" ongoing theme. It is alienating, but since the whole point of the movie was Shinji's downward spiral and disassociation from all personal contact, and this added to it. And also that Anno hates you. :D

If making the lead dress in a sexual way she does not want is to the theme of the show, then I suppose that's fine, although it depends on where it goes, like you said. In the first episode, it seemed utterly unnecessary to the show--it could be removed, and we'd be left with goofy over-the-top fights and a kickass main character and weird worldbuilding and the show would be better for it.

Do you honestly believe that they give a shit about some western sensitive souls?

[volta_arovet]

Nope! I don't believe they give a fuck about treating ladies fairly at all!

If they did, they wouldn't do that.

Doesn't mean it's not shitty.
