The way fandom discourse goes, I'd forgotten that, while I can enjoy a spot of lolisho, it's mostly just uncomfortable. I'm trying to enjoy Black Butler (everyone speaks so highly of it) but if I have to see one more lovingly rendered foot fetish shot of a 10 year old...
It's literally every frame, this isn't an anime it's a fetish hentai slipping under the censors.
There's so very. Much.
Also it's a period drama which I've never much vibed with.

Like, I'm into high school slice of life, and magical girls. But discourse has forced me to very aggressively, firmly stake myself as Pro Lolisho because from the outside people equate magical girls with loli and HS BL with shota.
It's so universal that I sometimes manage to forget they are, genuinely, actually different genres with different styles, goals and conventions. But then I try watching something lolisho because 'eh, I like the fanart it's basically the same thing' but WOOO no it is not.
I like hyper competent servants who channel their unresolved emotions re their lord into supporting their political machinations of their liege up to and including assassination (see: Ignis, Honoroit, Alfred, Zhu Li, Pearl) so I am TRYING but oh my god the sheer density of Shota
I see how if you weren't tits deep in, like, lolisho politics, you might not even notice??? It????
But also.
But also.
Every time that child is on screen, the amount of indulgent effort put into lovingly rendering his soft, vulnerable limbs and emphasizing the contrast of the ownership he holds against his inherent frailty
Makes me want to fuuuuuucking die

Anyway GF says I can pick another show so this thread is now on hiatus until I try again, because we all know I will, and if I can just get past the shotaness of it all, I'll have a sweet new powerplay master/servant ship to fuck around with so it'll probably be worth it but OOOF
I AM ON THE RECS PAGE FOR SAILOR FUCKIN MOON
