People like this make me believe that an increasing number of heterosexuals are terminally disconnected from feeling authentic and genuine sexual attraction. What they experience instead isn't heterosexuality anymore, but plain heteronormativity turned into arousal. It's just learned reflexes burned into their brain by videogames, porn and anime. There is nothing real and visceral about their Skinnerbox response to the commodified femininity they are conditioned to wank to, and anything deviating from the stereotyped treats they are used to frightens them, because they are not allowed anymore to find women that aren't the blandest cookie cutter version of hotness attractive. If they did, their fellow fascist mob members would just dogpile them with an endless stream of 1/10 butterface responses and call them a latent homosexual.
I keep coming back to this image. It's so bad that even the conventional hot women are no longer attractive as it's a race to the bottom ratchet effect of ever increasingly insane masculine performance.
and yet again, somehow, when this is said out loud I realize this too is wrong. Plenty of the gays I know should technically be super far along that hedonic treadmill, and yet they somehow are able to both be attracted to real people and aren't like... this... at all... There's something really, really weird going on here and the intersection of heteronormativity with it has to be part of it
There's gay anime out there, right? Does that gay anime also cause the kind of misanthropy as the isekai waifu shit? I think the answer is no, so perhaps there is some horrid sociopolitical propaganda in utter trash like "Shield Hero" that encourages misanthropy in its consumers.
Yeah. He said that the problem with industrialized contemporary anime was that it was made by otaku and for otaku, with a disinterest (or even hatred) of living beings, and the copy-of-a-copy method of churning out such slop made it further and further away from lived experience.

The hedonic treadmill is gooning the gooners into impossibly cartoonish standards of sex and sexuality.

Maybe.
Do those gay people you know interact with and have sex with other people regularly? Or are they, like, gay gooners in gay goon caves?
The former, so I guess that might be it. The gooning is like... social gooning.
It's also not tainted by the like, utter distaste for humanity from a philsophical perspective that seems to be the Anime Mindset

Idk I forgot the quote but the Ghibli Studios man predicted this I think
