Whole thing is about capturing enjoyment from fascist violence (generalization from watching this video 3 years ago)
37 minutes in it talks about the history of it and how its based off/influenced by vile racist shit.
the whole conceit of the show is watch the hero mindlessly slaughter the vile subhumans that rape our women. Like, exact replica of conservative rhetoric
I would like to apologize for the shit that I've given you in the past about Treat Enjoyers. I think I just didn't get it because I hadn't interacted with them enough. I still think it's good to try to flush that voice from one's head, but I can see why it would be difficult and there are worse things you can do than vent about bad things being bad.
I agree. I like some anime that have bad things, I just don't kid myself about the bad things. Hell, I have been meaning to get into Berserk for a long time knowing full well about the bad parts (because Griffith seems interesting and the art is incredible), I've just bounced off it because the series started when the author, Miura, was very young and so it was a bit grimdark in just the way you understandably dislike (and I find boring). I hear it gets better later on and Miura even does a lengthy prequel arc to make the grimdark part a bit more compelling because it establishes characters and motivations leading in to it.
