What’s the show? That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, Episode 11.

So how’s this episode? You know, I was really enjoying this episode, what with all the casual banter between all the characters in the goblin town, just good ol’ fashioned fun times for everyone. And then the damned lizard people had to show up and ~ruin~ everything! (Sight hyperbole…)

That’s completely unrealistic! And insulting too! What self respecting woman would put themself in that kind of situation?!” But with the exception of some specific examples these girls are all willingly in this situation, they are individuals with the autonomy to choose their lifestyle and what they’ve chosen is to compete for the attention of a man they desire—regardless of whether others have too laid claim to said man. Are there harem anime that are sexist? Yes, for sure. But that’s the fault of specific creators who put sexist dialogue or situations in their series’.
