I have never bothered to leave a comment on mangadex ever but this entire paragraph creeped me out to the point I had to put words to text box.
Hey just writing out my frustration. I was a manga/anime enjoyer for 20 years. When I started cuck i.e. netorare fetish wasn't as popular and widespread in conventional anime/manga.
During those 20 years they shifted male oriented genre to a more netorare/beta MC position. Coupled with some statistics and documentary series about Japan i came to this hyperbolized statement due to my anger at this work.
I don't know you and i don't your age nor i don't know your manga "baggage". My manga baggage is quite long, when i started i liked harem manga types now i utterly despise them. I liked a classic "Ahh my goddess!" now i stray away from this.
Harems - are constructed to exploit the viewer, you are given a choice of multiple girls with classic archetypical looks and personality. Series usually end as open ended or with multiple choice endings, this is made not for story originality but to exploit poor saps who shipped someone because that way EDITOR and PUBLISHING company can sell story for more WITH MORE CHAPTERS.
Ahh my goddess - shit, the dynamics of their relationships are the standard of the current Japanese media industry...i.e. super slow akin to edging fetish, every time they might progress their relationship something happens and destroys the moment. It's funny and good once or twice but not during the whole fucking series. You need to be a bondage/edging/maso/ fetishist to truly enjoy this.
I still find some mangas ok, during those 20 years i expanded my horizons to korean and chinese media content which might not be good sometimes and might have flaws in them too, but at least men are depicted more like men.
As for Nigeria thing, if you read what i written below, it's happening.
As for cucking fetish of the Japanese society while i said a hyperbola, it's ingrained in their culture. They have a culture that thinks authority is always right and you should comply with authority i.e. authority is any person above you (parent, boss, gov.official and etc.) In their history they have a group resentment towards authority because they comply with it more than others. Bosses take your work credit, take you girl, insult you and etc..They, due to this cultural "rule" mostly comply and hold resentment WHICH in part can create some fetishism.
Am i saying that everyone in Japan is like that? Fuck no, just like everyone in the world, majority of people are normal and ok people, just that a fringe dangerous minority grew in numbers, enough to destabilize the country on national level. It's enough to have 1-5% of radical people to create real problems to the country.
I don't want to hold my resentment towards something i.e. having pent up anger. I don't like the direction manga industry is going, it's becoming counter productive. Instead of a tool to help sow a greater generation of young people they are feeding them wrong role models and pleasing loser like behaviour.
In order to grow sometimes you need to be shown something you don't like and considering how restrictive Japan is (their media censorship included) I am amazed that they allow content that demoralizes and cultivates "weak" men.
I don't know much about girl oriented content but the ones i read showed me that they have the same problem but i'm not well versed in that content nor can i give any constructive advice due to my gender restrictions and gender experience. I can simply state state that some of the girl oriented conted i read is very bad and wrong and cultivates bad behaviour from women.
Now mix it up all together and we have a nuclear concussion, sometimes i wonder maybe it is intentional?
