Marxist analysis of the isekai anime genre and why it is so common nowadays? (lemmygrad.ml)

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.

Analysis: capitalism cannot help but beat a dead horse. Whenever anything becomes slightly popular, it must be mined and hollowed out in the search for every cent of profit.

.hack and SAO made this genre become impossible not to core out, and unfortunately weebs will watch anything so the hollowed out husk of the genre is still bleeding money 20 years later.

People were really watching that? I guess yes, but after so many years and series i still have to find more boring and disappointing anime.
