So... does the kraken show up while fighting the obligatory "ghost pie-rat" or does MC summon a kraken?

They're on a ship in a manga; as certain as a 45-year-old man being struck by Mammophobia, a ghost pirate ship is required by the gods of trope.

Neither of which are at all interesting, but at least a "ghost pirate ship" is more realistic than any Japanese male (or really any male humanoid) flailing about in stark terror simply because he witnessed mammary glands existing....

When it comes to tropes like these, I sometimes wonder if there might be a majority still enjoying them / laughing about them, even though others like us are tired about them

I really wonder that, as well; while, admittedly, there's a lot of brain-dead idiots in my country, I think that anybody who has been exposed to mass media for more than a year is likely to find these tropes to be, at best, purile; and, at worst, intellectually offensive.

I can't imagine being over the age of 10 and finding any of this to be clever or funny, honestly; one could easily believe that the Venn diagram of "ignorant enough to find this funny" overlapping with "smart enough to read" has got to be vanishingly small, right?

I mean, to be ignorant of the world in a way that allows a suspension of disbelief powerful enough to honestly enjoy these tropes does not make a person dumb! Im not meaning to be insulting, or anything!

But it does mean that they aren't likely to be part of any target audience that could possibly read any of these titles!

It's quite a mystery.
