for real. i don't get why fans of this shit try to make this better than it really is. it's like they're ashamed of saying that they like gooning to high school girls so they have to do olympic mental gymnastics justifying "certain" story elements as if they drive a moral life lesson home, yet froth at the mouth, scratching at their neck like heroin addicts shouting for more panty shots and strip scenes like they're important story beats.
personally, i don't see nothing wrong with liking gooner fan service, but it's actually disingenuous to what the product actually is by making it deeper so they can justify the gallons of semen they've busted all over their screens. this series is made for gooners, there's no point in trying to make it deep so just take the product for what it is, and move on ffs.
