>this is everyday anime as wish fulfillment for the intended 20-something male audience, many of whom can be expected to know AKG k701 cans and a Korg RK-100 when they see them. Cute girls and hot gear: a boys’ dream series. Don’t be fooled into quoting this or similar shows as evidence of the feisty independent young women of anime. These girls, and Haruhi and all their moe classmates are as objectified as any porn victim. They were constructed for the male gaze, but because they were constructed very cleverly, they can attract and deceive their own kind: decoy ducks for the patriarchy, and with such fine feathers.Thought-provoking review.
It's fascist propaganda
>>285312127I wouldn't go quite that far
>>285312501Since K-On aired, I've seen the girls bounce around on twitter with all sorts of radical political ideologies. Except for Ui who is pure..
Yeah, so?

>>285314139that's what some people unironically believe
>>285311917Not reading that shit, I'm here for Ritsu thighs
>>285314271>daily driver
>>285314139>equal to pornIt's not saying that, it's saying the girls are as objectified as they would be in an actual porno. Subtle but important distinction
>>285311917>they were constructed for the male gazeNot wrong, but not entirely accurate. Naoko Yamada, the director of K-ON, describes moe as a celebration of femininity, which I think is a pretty refreshing contrast compared to Hollywood's recent obsession with masculine women.

>>285314489Doesn't that seem ridiculous though?
>>285314489It's not an important distinction at all. The whole argument is an excuse to make the porn comparison and detract from the series.
>>285311917i cant imagine that whoever wrote this genuinely believes their own words. is this from medium?>>285314541yes a huge part of the appeal is that they are extremely girly. the lack of overt sexualization makes them more endearing to a large part of the moe target audience which has issues with women in one way or another. theyre a way to experience an feminine ideal without any danger of failure, embarassment, or getting hurt.
>>285311917most retarded thing, i've read in a long time. you suck cocks for pasting this shit here.
