I don't understand this post, Severance never claimed to be a mindblowing political series. It's a sci-fi thriller that also happens to be a satire of corporate culture, nothing more. It doesn't need to be "a deeper critique of capitalism" to tell a good story
Yeah, upon reading the post I immediately thought of an article from a long time ago whether some anime was feminist or antifeminist. It was just an average anime that didn't even engage with the topic.
The conversation around a piece of art becomes infinitely worse once values are ascribed to it based on a (re)viewers personal ideologies and agenda.
I'm all for anticapitalist sentiment and feminism, but not every topic needs to be evaluated under them.
Found the anti-feminist! /s
I read your post multible times and found no references to you being pro skub. That means you must be anti skub.
