        1. Thing about Jobless Reincarnation is that it's so bad it actually primes me to sit down and watch Re:Zero. So that's what I'm going to do next

        I know my Re:Zero hate fandom was celebrating when I declared this summer that I wouldn't be bothering with it anymore. In case this thread attracts them again I just gotta say... stay mad lol

      So we start where we left off with Otto telling Subaru to reach out when he needs help. And I agree with that, fundamentally? But Re:Zero's gender politics are fucking weird, right?

    "Putting on an act for girls is fine, but I draw the line at men" What is this inherent fear of being emotionally vulnerable to women? Especially since the women in the show do ALL of the emotional labor

      Like I don't dispute that Subaru needs male friends, but it's framed in a way that's weird and unhealthy. And honestly at this point he needs to learn how to treat women as friends and not objects

I'm not convinced the argument between Subaru and Emilia naturally leads to them kissing? Because Emilia doesn't really like Subaru right now and it reads like her feelings don't matter because he loves her

And that would mean like, what, my third season 1 viewing and my second season 2 viewing? Eh, no thanks.
