w0t

[Nyerp]

thats what steins;gate rly is wanna fight about it

[Samus Aran]

i dont even get how it could be that....seriously or jokingly......................

[Nyerp]

how is it not a harem? all the girls in the show rely on okabe to solve all their problems (sexist), and the narrative moves from girl to girl in typical harem-plot-train fashion until it finally focuses in on the "final girl" who the main character "wins." the girls just sit around in the show, being swayed by the main character and the other men in their lives to do things, never taking action on their own (with the exception of maybe kurisu). the show also uses its time travel gimmick to reduce one of the girls to a pure moe "oh look she's dead again, cry some more" plot device so that the pigs watching the show can insert themselves into okabe and fantasize about protecting mayurii and the other cookie-cutter stereotypes. the woman in steins;gate are punched, shot, run over, and overall dehumanized just so that the viewers (who are intended to be men) can "get off" on this "tragedy porn." im anita sarkeesian and u just got fempunk'd

oh okay

so at what point did you start thinking too hard about anime lol

[Nyerp]

im always thinking about anime. it was inevitable

[bluaki]

to support nyerp's point, several of the girls do show romantic interest in okabe in at least some world line:
Kurisu: Near the end of the series
Ruka: Loves Okabe regardless of sex. In the game's Ruka end, they even show a picture of Okabe with Ruka and a baby.
Feyris: Mostly omitted in the anime, but in the game's Feyris end they're a couple also participating in competitive card games together
Moeka: I wouldn't call that scene in the anime anything close to romance. Though it's not in either the anime or the game, some side media shows a "gamma world line" (probably canon) where Okabe is working together with her under FB's orders and they seem to be a couple.

but not all of them:
Mayuri: She's always just a friend. Even in the Mayuri end.
Suzuha: Also just a friend.
Nae: Okabe's not a lolicon. Also, in one of the game's endings, she absolutely hates Okabe, goes crazy, and time-leaps back a decade to kill him as her 11-year-old self.

6 episodes left of Evangelion, what would I watch next:

[spoiler][/spoiler]

I've only watched Usagi Drop completely out of those (I think), I watched almost all of Cowboy Bebop but that was a while ago so I would probably restart it.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

MA
DO
KA

though the downside is that almost every other anime you watch afterwards will pale in comparison [/spoiler]
