I didn't want to get into the details of incel and mgtow stuff, but since you mentioned it. I disagree with Josh about incels. I think most are a victim of circumstance, such as being in male dominated careers that have few chances to meet women. Then there's women's ridiculously high standards. To get his foot in the door, a man these days has to be 6'3, own a house, own a new car (no older than 2020), make 6 figures, have 6 pack abs, a 6 inch penis, have no kids, be fine with her kids, do all the house work, and have a university degree.Don't forget the Loveshy crowd.
Also IMHO "Incel" is a mindset as well. You can theoretically be getting laid and still be an incel, mentally.
I missed this post, but I agree. I grew up on anime like Akira, Appleseed, and Genocyber. ie. Cool anime that will rip your head off if you go in unprepared. It was after Evangelion went mainstream I noticed a change from Ghost in the Shell style adult themes and hyper violence to arguments over which teenager is "best girl".I have personally witnessed this shift of focus within the fandom.
I'm told my kind of anime still exists in droves, but I've not been given an example of it. The Netflix Ghost in the Shell reboot is full of wokeshit, and Knights of Sadonia seems okay though I never really got into the anime and the manga became a collectors item.
