    I have similar thoughts on Made in Abyss. Holy fuck is it good horror and a compelling story, but jesus the author is creepy towards little kids. And I’ve only watched the anime, which is probably very toned down on that front compared to the manga

      I think saying “yo this is actually good but the author is a pedo” is basically the same as admiring Mein Kampf while arguing the death of the author is important

      Basically what I mean is Made in Abyss IS BAD and I don’t like people heaping praise on it. The author is a pedophile. The story, characters, and plenty of scenes in it are softcore (or maybe not even softcore, I haven’t read it for obvious reasons) child porn. Sadistic child porn too. I can poke a million holes in Made in Abyss, but what’s the point?

        Years ago my ex was trying to get me into anime and they decided to show me Made in Abyss and it put me off anime for years

        Agreed. I very much have no intention of ever reading the manga or supporting anything to do with it for those reasons. The anime i watched sort of out of morbid curiosity.
