Am I the only one remembering the candies...? Like what the actual fuck...? Also for the record... this whole time(including during sex), his voice sounds like he's on helium(to quote him from the first chapter).

On MAL there is a review that calls this a great piece of feminist literature, and that is the hardest I've ever been trolled.
Seriously, this manga is the most objectifying garbage of all time, much worse than most actual porn. It casts out modern views of gender for a centuries outdated view.

@Historybuff6969 I personally would've had my suspicions the second anyone even used the word feminist to describe anything in a manga, anime, or light novel. Unless they were calling some random hardass character one, that seems to be the extent to which Japan uses that concept. Someone who even the other female characters think is just being a pain.

...I'm not saying that it's not surprising it helps contribute to his asshole mentality, but... The guy is a through-and-through holier-than-thou asshole.
Doesn't surprise me he's a male feminist. Whether he has the other "wonderful" traits that so many male feminists seem to exhibit, I don't we'll ever know.
I know the guy has a cult following, but the more and more I see of Miyazaki's personality and the man himself, the less and less I like. (His whole criticizing "otakus" for being to focused on objects and things and lamenting them while making an entire god damn film on the Zero and being a clear plane/aviation nut himself didn't help that.)

@destructionofinsanity linking to a Sargon "I support Trump because he triggers the SJWs" Akkad video that opens with a clip of Jordan "casual sex may necessitate state tyranny" "Frozen is SJW propaganda" Peterson is literally the fastest way to lose all authority on a topic, especially feminism.

@Historybuff6969 The other day I watched a video where a bunch of random, youngish Japanese living in Japan were interviewed. Maybe one of them knew what feminism is. A few thought it means feminine. Of course a very limited number of people isn't statistically significant, but if the same thing was done over here, 10 out of 10 citizens of the same young adult age group would recognise the word/concept, at least superficially, probably even to some depth.
So, sure, Japan probably has plenty of feminists somewhere, but it's a different question whether any products would sell domestically with an emphasis on such a thing. Based on my overall view of Japanese media, I wouldn't count on it. In fact even in the West a company only loses customers if they try to inject too much feminism in their products/marketing. The new wave bullshit feminists have ensured that.
@definitionofinsanity As much as I like Miyazaki's movies, and have them on my DVD/BD shelf, I'm not sure I'd have liked to ever personally work with the man. Many times the less you know about the person behind art/entertainment, the better. Just like with the women harassing Hollywood guys who made decent movies despite being of very questionable character themselves. Many famous novel authors, sculptors, painters, and such have also been terrible people and drunkards in reality.

Yeah, I don't put much stock into assertions that come from people that make ad hominems in order to avoid and dodge having to address issues. Your "it came from this source that I don't like, so I don't have acknowledge it" is about as low effort, low information and low energy as they come. It's because of shit like this that senpai will never notice you.
(Also way to straw man argument Jordan Peterson there in an attempt to discredit him when you're so out of your depth in attempting to do so. Yeah, that's not disingenuous at all.)

It's perfectly valid to disregard unreliable sources dumbass lmao
I'm not going to listen to the opinions of a Hitler avi with a screen name of "HitlerDidNothingWrong420", and just the same, I'm not going to listen to Sargon or Jordan Peterson, because they're known psuedointellectual hacks.
Call it an ad hom if you want, and I'll call it what it really is: good time management skills.

The sources aren't unreliable... you just don't like them. And you provide nothing yourself in the argument. You also straw man Jordan Peterson and attempt to call him unreliable as well, despite him being a respected (yes, just not by you) and acknowledged psychologist and attempt to handwave and frame Peterson's argument and opinion on a film as him being crazy or paranoid. Which must be interesting when criticisms against the film are set right next to this hot take from the dumpster fire clickbait media. "It's not propaganda, it's just attempting to do what propaganda does in the same manner and method." The cognitive dissonance you have is so thick you could cut it with a knife.
Gee, it's almost like... you're suffering from confirmation bias. I don't see how that'd be possible when you just ignore things you don't like to hear... That's unthinkable...
Yeah, no. Peterson is not a pseudointellectual hack. He's accredited. And respected in his field by his peers for the most part. You attempting to portray him as a hack is just, again, lazy and pathetic dodging. Don't pretend otherwise.

Could you please stop having your convoy of dump trucks stop unloading metric tons of cyanide into the community well, please?

You were reading this manga and debating about feminist theory and how egregious this manga is from your viewpoint before I even got here. Your time is no where near as valuable as you think it is, demonstrably by your own actions.
@Skelefyre I know, remember the days when entrainment wasn't so dividing

The thing about Youta's logic in this chapter is that it's actually not pragmatic at all. He claims that, in a world where he's the only man, he should keep the girls safe, when it's actually the other way around. As the only man in the world, he is (as far as he knows) literally irreplaceable. If he dies to an accident or one of the many monsters in this world, then the girls will be stuck with their 20-year lifespans. He shouldn't be going anywhere without a heavy guard, and he certainly shouldn't be fighting personally (unless he absolutely has to). That's what the pragmatic option would be, it has nothing to do with being "politically correct".

This is absolute trash. I will continue to read it because so am I, but I think it’s fairly obvious why the comment section is how it is.

"Japan has feminism, despite the absurd claims otherwise, and it has feminist media too. Miyazaki, notably, is a huge feminist and his influence on anime is immense."
Japan been embracing the idea that woman, even those who already have a good career, will eventually becoming full time housewife if they had child/children. Then again the idea of what being a feminist is mean shit these days.
You all are fckin retarded if you think an old man and especially someone as famous as Miyazaki won't do jacks of virtue signalling and being politically correct.
