Marxist analysis of the isekai anime genre and why it is so common nowadays? - eviltoast

It’s like capitalism has gotten so bad in Asia that it’s profitable to make shows about depressed salarymen/hikkikomori dying and reincarnating in a happy fun exciting world where they are a badass super god/goddess that gets all the women easily.

    it’s not so complex:

    having shitty life in capitalism

    being indoctrinated to not fight against capitalism and being sadly passive

    some event takes you to another place where there’s not capitalism

    now you can be active and try to make a “good capitalism” from the scratch!
