  • I didn’t even downvote it and to be honest I only ever comment on these “callout” comics complaining about negative feedback. I think this is the second time I’ve ever shared an opinion on this comic online.

    It takes about 5 seconds to read it and continue scrolling. It’s not a zero sum game, her making those comics doesn’t prevent other artists from making similar ones. You can enjoy them and also enjoy this, even if you enjoy the others more. Or ignore it. Or downvote it. It don’t understand the controversy either way.

    That is what I’m doing. Leaving a pretty tame comment on a post where the comic author is specifically addressing her audience (or critics) doesn’t seem inappropriate to me. I even said that I agree with the sentiment. What part of this basic human interaction is so offensive that you felt the need to tell me not to comment in the first place?




  • Campfire cooking in another world and Welcome to demon school, Iruma-kun! are my main recommendations. There’s also some trash that would fit your criteria, but I wouldn’t recommend watching that (like that one slime tamer anime I can’t recall the title of). Also a dozen or so otome villainess reincarnation anime should fit your criteria, those are getting pretty popular now, though I haven’t watched any of the anime yet. Also some older stuff like Inuyasha might be up your alley, but honestly it’s been too long since I’ve seen them in their entirety, so I can’t really remember. Obviously Isekai is by far the most fan service-y theme in every possible way since most of it leans into power fantasy aspects to flatter the target demographic. In fact, if this was an actual honest question, I would recommend looking at the broader fantasy category, where there is a lot more variety and quality to be found.


  • They do have free will but where have you seen any depiction of morality as humans understand it? You also need to understand that a characters thoughts and actions are up to your own interpretation and do not necessarily reflect the authors opinions. Even if I were to disagree with Frieren the character as strongly as you seem to, then it still wouldn’t detract from my enjoyment of the show. I don’t need my entertainment to regurgitate my own morals to me.


  • Why is that sad? The depiction of demons as creatures that are incapable of empathy and exploit human compassion as an evolutionary strategy is interesting and makes for good drama and moral conflicts in the show. I’m honestly tired of the standard plot about demons just being misunderstood poor little babies that humans bully for seemingly no reason. I understand why that is a popular theme - it resonates with most of our own history after all, but it’s been done to absolute death.
