 NWSiaCB said: She isn't a feminist, but an overt misandrist. She doesn't care about women's rights or equality, she's a sociopath who explicitly enjoys hurting men to the brink of death and gets a job as a sadist because it lets her hurt people legally. The "main character" of the series doesn't care about any of that, and just wanted a job to make money, but she was raped and abused just the same because her merely playing the role as a sadist offended misogynist sociopathic men who rape women into being "willing" masochists, so that what they do is "legal" as well. The part you're missing is that this is in and of itself a reaction to popular Japanese opinions about foreigners - Europeans and Americans alike - projecting their sociopolitical views on Japanese society, without first attempting to understand Japanese society and its political nuances. Note, if you read it, how the blonde preaches on and on about her idea of "gender equality" - which, as you mentioned, is just blatant misandry, but masquerading as promoting equality - and when a man has the gall to denounce her views as misandrist and not promoting equality at all, she proceeds to frame him as a "groper" as well. It's a classic tactic of the small-minded: when you can't refute the claim, discredit the claimant. Which brings me to the next point: it also plays on the increasingly frequent claims that women on Japanese rail lines are falsely accusing men of molestation, either for kicks or to extort the accused. This, in turn, comes from the ob servation that claims of chikan are increasing despite the establishment of women-only cars (which should have reduced, if not outright eliminated, the phenomenon), with the paranoid assumption being that the accusations are unauthentic. It is a fact that Asanagi caters to the darker and more misogynistic fetishes out there, and I'm generally not a fan of his themes. But let's not take this too far out of perspective. The death threats supposedly came from foreigners (overreacting) in response to Victim Girls R (the mentioned doujinshi). Asanagi responded with this parody image, featuring a foreign girl character with little mental fortitude, who has - to borrow the net parlance - gotten "triggered" and is angrily parroting the lines from the threats sent at him. |
