though i think there's a solid argument to be made for most of these being conservative, even if not in ways this guy would necessarily recognize as such. name a series on this and i could find a legitimate, not a bit reason it's reactionary. that goes triple for one piece

How can this be conservative-core when Kill la Kill - literally main theme is getting more powerful the more confident you get about being naked?

It's conservative for libertarian-alert reasons

Don't forget that it's also got bloody bloody blood blood because violence is cool

Side note I love how that emoji is called "libertarian alert" lmao

most shows in japanese anime are placed in high school for many reasons, some of the major ones is that in japanese culture, highschoolers tend to have the most "freedom" (that is time is less occupied), an event that most people go through (thus being broadly more relatable vs a college show, where not everyone goes to college) and anime is generally targeted for younger folk.

Kill la Kill's entire concept started because someone at Trigger thought it'd be funny to make a pun out of fashion and fascism.

ryuko being a nudist lesbian is obviously not particularly conservative, but it's a DEEPLY individualist fantasy
