Anime

chuds seem to enjoy the simulacrum copy-of-copies more than the original thing itself. they like how everything in anime is set along rigid tropes and formulas, with immersion-breaking gimmicks like fan service.

Little wonder that "let gamers design games" slogans were about making characters less distinctive and more generically fanservicey.

This sort of guilty pleasure of re-making reality to fit into platonism and overpowered main characters is inherent to the appeal of anime to a lot of reclusive people who aren't looking for any type of realistic portrayal or connection to the world, but instead want to get lost permanently in a fake one that they have full mastery over.

It still baffles me that so many reactionary and otaku crave a seemingly endless number of escapist "isekai" worlds... but the first thing they want to do with them is crush them under the wheels of capitalism and use metagaming tricks to exploit everyone and everything in them. Maybe they didn't want an escapist world at all; they just wanted to rule over the one they're currently in.

Except they want the women to look like cartoons.
