The crazy thing about it is again 1) it was the most ubiquitously popular anime on a global scale possibly ever like I still cannot believe the degree to which Fucking Everyone was watching it (or at least aware of it) anime fan or not and it really did seep into popular culture in a way few other anime have managed to do even with only one goddamn season at the time and 2) obviously a lot of alt-right freaks very uncritically worship the show for reasons that are obvious without even watching it just from knowing the recurring criticisms but I've definitely also seen at least a few instances of people who would consider themselves. Lefties in whatever form who are very aware of all of its problems and still vouch for it as a complex and well written narrative or whatever and clearly derive a very polar opposite interpretation of what the story is actually saying so it feels very. *touches the ground* Something fucking happened here
