I complain sometimes about how feminist blogs tend to be Doylist beyond all reason, but it does have advantages over the uber-Watsonian approach of sites like TV Tropes. I read a feminist post today about some anime called Promare, then looked it up on TV Tropes to confirm it actually existed, because this is bananas. TV Tropes is capable of recognizing that the frost-themed villains are American-influenced and like to oppress minorities, but can only talk about this in reference to other anime, and can’t point to any reason why this story would be told in this way other than “other stories were told in similar ways.” Meanwhile, the feminist blog can clearly identify that this show is calling for the abolition of ICE.
