It sucks for so many people to be so deeply trapped inside capitalist realism that they take refuge in fantasies that ostensibly provide ego-insert protagonists that escape the worst of such misery, but instead of simply enjoying a fictionalized better way of life it’s all about using capitalist power systems and exploitation to inflict the worst of it on “NPCs” or other otherfied people for personal gain. :JB-shining-aggro:
Thank god recently there’s been a trend of isekai stories where they drop the entire “save the world by exploiting it” pretense and replace it with “I retire to the countryside with my big boobed 30 something girlfriend to become a farmer”. It’s not lesbians overthrowing the bourgeoisie, but it’s better than slavery harems. Low bar, I know, but still.
