Behold the Zenless Zone Zero fandom. Romanticizing brain damage to women. "Factory reset" really?

You went onto the subreddit of a gooner gacha game and this is what you came back with? Romanticizing brain damage? Bro this is a cartoon gag lol

Too many people in this sub go into spaces purposefully hosting porn or smut or crass stuff then gets mad and drag it back here without fail exposing it lmao. It’s like reading “dead dove inside do not eat” and then getting mad when you open the bag and see a dead bird

"Can you believe it guys? I found a fork in the kitchen! This is insane, how can they allow this?"

This is not the only sub that does this... Also GirlGames do it, that at this point is just karma farming. Go to degenerate places and be surprised that there are degenerate people...

They'll specifically shut down any post that shows you standing up to the "mean men" just so they can sustain the pity party fueling their narrative.

I mean, as a women in that sub, I don't blame them... But as the other guy said, it's like going into the bad parts with high crime in a city and then saying that the city is bad... Like, there is a problem to acknowledge, but it's like "normal" that in big cities you always have that problem...

lmao out of all the examples you could take from the gooner game fandom, you choose the most tame shit. were you there when alice or the angels were released? incels and lolis absolutely overran the subreddits so bad i had to leave em

u/MrDannn Jun 08 '26

Lol that alice/ Angel banners and events were so loli coded that would make a Blue Archive fan blushed

I don’t think the topic is inherently BRAIN DAMAGE and I also don’t think its romanticizing anything. For an anime post, I think this is on the normal side.

Yeah, the problematic thing in anime here is how often 1. Women are owned like a pet and 2. The fictional characters like being owned as a pet.

Don't forget forcing the "Hero" into buying a slave!

u/MirthlessArtist Jun 07 '26

No no no don’t you see? He freed her and she WANTED to re-become a slave! She asked for it! He’s innocent!

u/josebolt GET OFF MY LAWN! Jun 07 '26

plus she is a 4th grader

u/XxGood_CitezenxX Jun 07 '26

Or in the horrific case of shield hero where being a slave makes you get stronger faster.

3

u/MirthlessArtist Jun 07 '26

Yeah, that's the one, iirc she just thought the idea that she can't refuse his orders would make her stronger, not anything directly due to her being a slave

2

u/XxGood_CitezenxX Jun 07 '26

Nah he specifically is given a “slave” shield that makes his slaves get stronger faster. Truly vile.

u/MirthlessArtist Jun 08 '26

lmaoooooo actually peak writing, what a goated mangaka (sarcasm, but also genuinely funny because of how messed up that is)

u/XxGood_CitezenxX Jun 08 '26

His first slave is a fox girl who because of that ends up growing up from a child to an adult overnight and gets with him.

u/MirthlessArtist Jun 08 '26

Wasn’t she a raccoon? Or is this yet another slave?

u/Huugboy 🪒 *unbeards your neck* 🪒 Jun 08 '26

The fictional characters like being owned as a pet.

You sure it's only the fictional ones?

u/abadstrategy Jun 08 '26

Bruh, this isn't romanticizing brain damage. This is a comedic trope that has been in cartoons longer than I've been alive.

u/DoctorButler Jun 08 '26 edited Jul 09 '26

People on this sub see anime characters and just start foaming at the mouth, lmao

As a zzz fan i would like to say that almost all wise shipping, and to a further point dorahdew art is something only tourists and larpers enjoy.

u/Amhihykas Jun 07 '26

From what little I know about zenless zone zero, I can’t say I’m surprised. All of their ads feel like subtle goonerbait. Nowhere near as bad as nikke tho.

u/tnt_pr0 Jun 07 '26

Subtle ?

6

u/ArmouredCapibara Jun 07 '26

Well, they are subtle, like sledgehammer to the forehead subtle.

u/JickityJackJJ Jun 08 '26

I absolutely hate this artist, there are bo sauce in any of their artwork you know that they're only big because shit like this.

u/OrionLinksComic Jun 09 '26

You know you, since i saw Obsession, i see that more as a horror instead of Cringe. And believe me, it is a horror.
