You like text on GIF memes? Cool, we do also.
No idea what the fuck we mean? Look at the other posts and you'll get the gist.
Join in and have fun lads.
P.S. It might be easiest to upload your GIFs to Imgur/Giphy and put a direct link as your post (thus embedding) as Lemmy often doesn't play nicely with them natively.

What series?
Hero Academia has a grapeist hero that assaults multiple women.
I hate this dude so much I stopped watching the show.
I was referring to what series the gif is from. ๐
Fire Force, for a little narrative John Pervert. Cast has magic powers, some have drawbacks. Young Lady in the show has the "Lucky lecher lure" where accidents will happen with her and men where her clothes will fall off and she'll end up in uncomfortable poses (ass or titties pressed into the guy, or poses that expose everything). Neither party wants it to happen and she fucking hates it.
It made it so uncomfortable to watch I literally stopped because of it. Ruined their pretty good story with really gross, nonconsensual fan service.
Ah, the Juggernaut scene? I literally dropped it then and there. Infuriatingly tone-deaf scene.
The best part is that according to the author that character wasn't originally in the story, publishers pressured him to put in some fanservice, and he crated that character out of spite.
I get the feeling that the worst tropes of manga are often there at the publisher's demand.
This isn't the first time the author has done this. An earlier show of his, Soul Eater, has a character that is a cat with the ability to turn into a woman. She doesn't have any clothes on when in her human form, and she loves to prank the human characters by transforming at the worst times. Fortunately, she is only the protagonists roommate, so you can go episodes at a time without seeing her, since the gang leaves her at home when they go out on missions.
I wonder if that was spite fanservice too?
I'm intrigued by this fanservice power being a plot point.
If you want fanservice as plot points watch Kill la Kill
Pick one at random, tbh.
Hunter x Hunter
Hisoka isn't sexually attracted to little boys. He's sexually attracted to strong fighters. Just because the two main protagonists are little boys doesn't mean--
Yeah, fuck that, can't do it. Yeah, Hisoka is creepy as fuck. But he's supposed to be creepy as fuck. He, at least, is never supposed to get audience sympathy or trust. He's a creepy groomer and is treated as such by the narrative.
It's better than Mushoku Tensei (Jobless Reincarnation) where the protagonist is a pedophile, gets ostracized in his original life for being one, and then after reincarnating proceeds to indulge his desires with little to no pushback in the series. People find him relatable and misunderstood. That's 100x more egregious than anything Hisoka did.
Yeah Hisoka's straight up a pedo. So is Rudius (jobless reincarnation). I actually kind of hated mushoku tensei for the weird romance harem quadrangle thing, like it's just the author's barely disguised fetish.
Jobless reincarnation sounds exactly like an anime of self-indulgence haha
Hisoka???
