Anime News Network (ANN), Christopher Macdonald & Co. - "Unbiased" Reporting on All Things Anime Related By Snobbish Quebec-Based Web Company. Acquired by Kadokawa.

Like bitch, we know you only passed that show cause of some ones feesfees, glad you finally owned up to that.

I'm guessing that wasn't even actually the case, she just ass-pulled it as a justification for her review. I doubt Chiaki (who is obviously the friend Caitlin was referring to, even if she didn't mention him by name) even cared that much that Caitlin hates Nekopara, given his like for Nekopara is just his unfunny tryhard ironic shitlord "I know my taste is trash, I'm just SELF-AWARE" shtick. Hell, look at what he tweeted when the review went up and got ratio'd:

He also liked this tweet from Lynzee:

On that note, Bidoof's Law really isn't the epic own people think it is.

 

[NPC_]

Christopher Farris asked for it, do it Kadokawa. Let ANN cope and seethe. Chiaki too since he's here on this tweet.

So then why the f**k do y'all niggas review all of the ecchi shows you find so problematic?

lol Nick and feet again

You're joking, right Sam? Anime journalism is about as sad-no f**k that-even sadder than gaming journalism.

Just send your first screenshot to Kadokawa. I don't think you could even say that about McDonald's and still have your job.

These fools do not realize that intentionally picking a fight with your parent is a terrible idea. Therefore, continue to do so. I'm sure Christopher Macdonald would love to explain to his superiors why his underlings are making Kadokawa lose face.

Yeah we get it Caitlin, your hate boner for girl shows is about as big as yours for isekai. Also PuraOre is a f**king cartoon, it doesn't have to be 100% realistic

Big Yikes! That was rather problematic of you to say Theron!

Bet you they didn’t think the same way when Zac committed suicide. Most of the people in ANN thought it was a sense of relief.

Nick spends the entire time just being dismissive of the show, but then his very last sentence is "I acknowledge this show can flesh out its characters over time, but I'll still dismiss it over this first episode". Amazing. This is the epitome of why the "preview guide" was ANN's worst idea.

The other reviews of that show? Caitlin was the only one not reviewing it; James is just as dismissive as Nick; Eisenbeis isn't near as harsh but still overall negative; Rebecca ironically ends her review by acknowledging what Nick dismissed at the end of his.

Bitch please, it's not as "antagonistic" as the way you talked to isekai fans disagreeing with your millionth "muh isekai bad" thread or to the guy who was arguing with you on ANN crediting translators. I digress.

You've read countless articles about how anime made people realized that they're gay or a tranny, but now we've got ADHD and Autism in anime (which we already knew about) : https://archive.ph/R2TKk

It’s a little odd that an op-ed (because we know no one would truly read this if it were a real article) and you put Luffy smiling on there. That guy was a pirate and pirates do not care about “neurodivergence” or whatever buzzword that keeps floating on the Internet.

I’ll just say this: Luffy is an idiot and would look at ANN writers like they’re speaking gibberish like lunatics. And maybe punch them cold because of course he would.

This bitch is obviously insane and not credible. But the guy is a woke male feminist pretending to be Japanese (real name Michael Joseph Rudd). I suppose he deserves what he's getting.

 

[sneedem&feedem]

So Lynzee put up her article about the allegations.



Which seems fine and dandy. Except they accidentally implicate another voice actor as well for being so vague in their headline.



They have since changed it.



Someone already made an archive of the article but no one seemed to have caught the original version.

I'm glad that ANN was dumb enough to take this bait. Hopefully, the shitshow only increases from this point forward.

Caitlin feels betrayed that one of the rare isekai she doesn't hate has her bete noire; slavery. Since she used rot13 here, I included translations for anyone too lazy to translate themselves:

Mukohda buys slaves. He wanted a cute maid but they only had families left so it's actually good because he's not splitting them up like other buyers would!!

Caitlin: HE'S ALSO WEALTHY AT THAT POINT WHY NOT JUST HIRE SOMEONE TO CLEAN HIS FUCKING MANSION. THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT HE BUYS THEM FOR.
Sam: WHY IS SLAVERY ALWAYS THE ANSWER FOR THESE SHOWS? JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

There's been like what, five?, isekais out of the dozens over the past few years that featured slavery and yet people think the genre is all about the slavery trope.

I’ve got no clue what rot13 is.

It's almost like many isekai worlds are based off of medieval/feudalism and therefore there will be slave auctions. Slavery is universal in so many sci-fi/fantasy stories that it'd be kind of weird if there wasn't talk of slavery at all in series that're meant to have world-building. If he's not beating the shit out of the slaves he just bought every time they mess up, then what's the fucking problem that some Legit Nice Guy™ actually bought (as in "rescued") slaves from a potential abuser? Are they sex slaves? Isn't there some kind of hidden message in that any time some virgin loser gets isekai'd that he buys himself a woman because that's the only way he can get himself pussy, and therefore proof that losers will forever be losers on the inside?

I now want there to be an isekai series where the Nice Guy™ is actually a monster in private and that there was a reason he was a loser in his other life, and you get to see him be a legit slave-driver while the rest of the world-building is still somewhat fascinating. You're not actually supposed to root for him anyway and Caitlin and "Friends" will still bitch and moan about slavery in an isekai despite getting the villainous depictions of a slave-driver they clearly want.

Is this along the lines of your proposal?
