Is it the remnants of fascism?

I'm watching Demon Slayer and this just comes out of nowhere, and I've noticed it often in shounen anime

I don't particularly disagree with it, You have to be strong to protect anything you love, but I see why so many fashies are attracted to anime and turn into weebs

Also feels like this kind of messaging is why so many of japanese men are salary men loser otakus who are too scared to fuck

Like "BE strong or lose everything" and "yay consumerism!! gundamn models!!" sort of message just seems to create these kind of people

If you seriously watched Kimetsu no Yaiba, one of the warmest most empathetic recent anime, and assumed that speech is meant to be 100% the author's intended message of the work you're pretty dumb.

Its emotional core is empathy and familial ties, both literal and metaphoric.

Most shounen manga have this weird fascination with integrating Neo-Darwinism into their worldbuilding to the point where it basically becomes detached from reality, most shounen animes usually center around some sort of supernatural powers being used in wars (My hero, Jujitsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer). Practically all of them phase out evolutionary genetics or anything short of mysticism by making these powers only attainable via inheritance and nothing else. Very shitty writing. Not only does modern Shounen anime appeal to the most normal and mainstream audience and being totally forgettable and dissimilar, but they also fucking fail at basic genetics. Powers in anime shouldn't just be mostly attained via muh inheritance but should also be subject to evolutionary change during the metabolization of the environment, and subsequent evolution of new traits/powers, just like how practically all living species on earth make qualitative changes in their lives.

Tl;dr shounen anime is fascist

funny then that none of your exemple except demon slayer work that way
MHA is about the near entirety of humanity (it's supposed to be 80%,but it's easy to forget when the author doesn't do anything with it) having random powers and some of them being deemed good enough by an arbitrary ranking boss fight to make them heroes (the entire start of the series even talked about how unfair the focus was on powerful physical powers etc,but it was also badly written if you remember half of the students being incapable of actually winning the robot fight,and now it devolved into end of naruto bullshit and every hero being a private cop isn't even adressed anymore or just in passing and handwaved)
for Jujustu Kaisen,one of the strongest characters is because of their lack of genetic inheritance,the MC has powers because he's possessed by the strongest demon that ever existed,and every family shit on the respective characters as "not belonging to the clan",one of them is litterally a spirit robot built by someone who then made it his son,pretty much all the families are deeply disfunctiunal and it's honestly quite dark and pessimistic on the family question,where they all end up killing each other or losing one or more relatives.
For Demon Slayer,the MC isn't strong because of his family,one of the character litteraly lived in nature and trained there,but I do agree that a lot are descended from old slayers (but it make sense,because they're the one who trained their children) it's not necesserally about their bloodline except for the thunder guy,where yes,he wouldn't have his power without being born from his family.
I do agree that powers that you can only inherit is pretty lame,but that's Dragon Ball Z+Super you're talking about (or AoT,but it's subverted when talking about the Hackerman,and the time travel bullshit)

Not to mention that adventurer guilds are historically absurd. It's just modern late-capitalist japan re-imagining itself as a feudal fantasy land, and all the trappings of magic and elves and shit only lightly cover what is in fact a very depressing genre, in which "freedom" is pretty much just freedom to live your old alienated life except this time you have superpowers and hot chicks following you for no discernible reason.

Hello comrades, I'm here with a proposal: let's start a scanlation group to bring leftist manga to a non-Japanese audience.
>Are there any leftist manga???
Yes, for example the masterpiece of Japanese communist literature Kani Kousen (The crab cannery ship) got three manga adaptation. Two of them are available in digital, and I suggest we start from them.
>What do you bring to the table? You're aren't one of those "idea guys", right?
I'm a scanlator: I translate, clean pages and add text. I can do basically anything you need to do to release a manga, except I'm not too good with PS and since I'm not a native speaker I also need someone else to do editing and proofreading.
Oh, I can also provide raws and I have uploading privileges on mangadex.
>How do we organize?
That's something I can't answer. I know that d*scord is a big no-no, but I don't know many alternatives, so I'd like to hear your proposals.

So, what do you think?

Is this because consequences of such cuck nation? Like why tf there's so much fucked up NTR? Idc if the NTR involving a boss with her/his subordinates gangbanged him/her.

But this kind of kinks or cults involving cannibalism & such, are really disgusting.

Unless sacrificing crapitalism worshippers like picrel.

Usually I just browse the MAL rankings for certain tags and look for stuff that actually has well-written reviews that articulate what's interesting about a series instead of just saying "the plot is good". Needless to say not very reliable but it's the best I've found

Mangaupdates.
Learn how to use tags and how to find specific translation groups that typically work on good series. You can pretty quickly narrow down your results and cut a lot of chaff.
LovelyStrangeDark for example is a very solid group that largely works on very interesting manga.

I follow (at least) two people on twitter. One posts anime box art ranging from older series to some more recent. If the either the title or art, or even both look interesting enough to me, I add it to the list or at least bookmark it. The other posts updates and news on stuff like new official scans and distribution, with his tweets structured in a way that includes the title, a volume cover and a description of the plot and I just do the same thing. Other than that, word of mouth, places like these, looking for similar manga in the same genre (usually after finishing something)
