It's like capitalism has gotten so bad in Asia that it's profitable to make shows about depressed salarymen/hikkikomori dying and reincarnating in a happy fun exciting world where they are a badass super god/goddess that gets all the women easily.

I wrote a big essay that was basically what you already said, only with way more pointless words.

So instead, I'll talk about my own experience with these sorts of people. I often draw art for the sort of people who are the prime target for isekai stories, and they are just generally very poorly socialised. They often have a poor understanding of boundaries or what might make other people uncomfortable. They're usually not terrible people or anything, just lonely guys who struggle with human connection and have found a quick and dirty "diet" version in the form of parasocial relationships with their favourite anime character.

So yeah, the problem is dehumanisation under capitalism.

You just spent a whole half a paragraph describing me 😭

Are you looking to hire an artist to draw art of your favourite anime character?

Where can I find this big essay?

I meant in my comment, I had written out several paragraphs that didn't really say anything useful on the subject, so I replaced it.
