Are you the Goblin Slayer fan who denies that show being exploitative too? I can't remember their username.

Compara pero no ofendas. Hell no, I watched the show and I was grossed out and unimpressed.

Well, I hope you'll forgive me for the comparison. There was some user who was saying almost exactly the same thing about that show and refused to recognize how various elements (the camera angles, the nudity, the posing, how some things were animated) made it exploitative gooner shit in the same way that Dandadan's UFO scene is, the Dandadan doesn't go quite as far (but also it's done to a minor, so it isn't really any better).

In the interest of diplomacy, I'll mention that outside of the gooner shit, Dandadan is a thousand times better than the pogromist edgelordism of Goblin Slayer, so it actually does have good qualities as well as bad ones.
