Quotations and Wisdom from I'm In Love With the Villainess

anime @hexbear.net

:sisyphus:

  • lethal amounts of tgirl swag

  • I got banned from one of their comms for mentioning transmisogyny. Can't even talk about issues affecting trans women in the comm about trans women ¯(ツ)_/¯

  • Yeah no that's completely fair, it's been like a year since I've read the story so I could totally be off-kilter, I think your issues are pretty valid

  • Oh lol I see I had misunderstood what you had said. I think it felt more like the shadowy plot taking advantage of public anger to me which is why I felt like it works, since the agency is still with the populace at large. I'm glad you think it's interesting though!

  • Yeah it takes its sweet time to get into the juicy politics. I definetly think the light novel does it better, but it might just be the translator. It also has a lot to say about queer love as well, putting aside the class structure critiques :)

  • That's always something

  • Okay so let me explain a BIT because some of it is a bit funky

    The thing is though, the radicalization of the main love interest :claire-grin: is played incredibly straight, with her conversations with the high-ranking nun Lily regularly spreading clearly marxist polemics about the nature of feudal society. I fucking love how the author Inori was able to make marxist polemics interesting as a 'yuri scene,' in the same process with how Miyazawa talked about making science fiction palatable. Maybe I should make a blog post about that!

  • I havent finished that one yet, some of the polemics were interesting but the light novel was kinda meh and I havent watched the anime yet. Bummer that its bourgeois

  • I like to describe I'm in Love With The Villainess as 'Lesbian isekai with Marxist-Leninist Characteristics', as it has a revolution lead by a vanguard party in the first two light novels (which the manga has yet to get past the first two LNs). 'Part 2' of the story does get away from the same precise political themes a bit but it's still entertaining (and it'll probably be nice if/when the manga gets there).

    I also read Koroshiya Yametai! (or: I wanna be fired!) recently. It's kiinda mid but it's lesbian and there's an interesting polemic about refugees and their role as cheap labor in the global north.

    I can also recommend the classic Akira, which while it isn't explicitly leftist it portrays the military-industrial complex in fairly left wing fashion and also talks about some of the struggles of poverty.

    I'll definetly give the ones that you've posted a look :)

  • me when I

    when I submit myself to the mortifying ordeal of being known (inviting ppl to play a ttrpg with me)

  • we need the counterpart in order to build stronger memes
