    Madoka is kind of a by disaster stricken Yunnochi. Sometimes I think about what would happen if my favorite SOL characters would exist in the real world. It’d be quite terrible for them I think, as most SOL worlds are like ours but more forgiving. A Yunnochi or a Tsukasa would get steamrolled in our world. Not as bad as what ever the frick happens in Madoka Magica of course.

      The incubator’s consumer (or smth) attitude can be compared to some commercial companies, so Madoka is based on real events and we see just Yunocchi in usual world)

        Kyuubei definitely sees humans as consumables, but isn’t it more like the cattle industry, like he explained to Madoka in her bedroom? Usually companies don’t treat employees literally as expandable lives in and around the western world. Maybe if she was a factory worker in China, then I could see it. Or certainly a conscript in the Russian army. As I remember magical girls in Madoka Magica really don’t turn old or even adult at all.

          I guess Japan and South Korea (and many other) workers have relatively the same problems as China ones.

          But I was just joking. If Kyubey was comercial companies then we would be all magical girls)

          If take it seriously, when I watched frist film recently, I thought Kyubey is litterally as pragmatic as AI. He also is like Tanos from Avengers, wants to save universe in its own way, but Kyubey’s goals are more clear and as character it looks way more interesting for me.

          And his phrases can be broken down into quotes, like:

          Desires that go beyond logic create a distortion of reality. It’s not surprising that everything ends badly. (or smth)

          Since you protect the west (joke), than do you like American r/MadokaMagica community on reddit? I get used to usual otakus and lemmy’s chill so much that I was shocked, honestly. It’s almost like r/BocchiTheRock with its weirdos. About Twitter community I’m not sure.

            I really don’t know anything about reddit communities, I haven’t had an account for a long time even before I made a Lemmy account. On Twitter I only check my “Following” feed of mostly official accounts so I don’t have a sense of the community there either.
