    I’m ashamed that I ever said I liked that slop. It’s pure Disney morality (the good guy and bad guy are totally apparent and nothing is allowed to be complicated, ever. Now it’s super easy to project whoever you don’t like or let’s be honest, less than popular ethnic groups onto the goblins.)

    At least Frieza had something material to gain in Dragon Ball, at least in Persona 4, the killer’s a cautionary tale of people with CHUD brainworms: a misanthropic chanlord with a superiority complex cutting themselves off from the world and refuses to connect with others.

      I completely checked out of Persona after that one that was basically an extended setting-wide high school waifu harem with this fucked up hustlegrind subtext where you totally can excel in every class and yet have enough of a social life to fuck absolutely every waifu in reach and this totally isn’t shoveling brainworms into emotionally constipated and socially crushed Japanese students that didn’t do that and now will lament the rest of their lives that they didn’t get to have that perfect high school experience. Shit was a cognitohazard. nyet
