I will never forgive Madoka Magica for the damage it has done. I’m not familiar enough with the genre to know if that’s the exact point when the well was poisoned, but it’s certainly the most infamous one.

Yeah no that was it. The whole "deconstructing magical girls" thing had been done before, but Madoka was the first one where the "deconstruction" was little more than a cheap excuse for the writer to indulge his fantasies about watching girls die.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the creator, Gen Urobuchi, even admitted to liking to torture the characters in Madoka Magica. He also made Saya no Uta, so that explains why he uses "deconstruction" and "horror" as a way to put his gross fetishes into anything he's a part of.

Gen Urobuchi also wrote a show for boys (Kamen Rider Gaim) that was about young men being turned into superheroes by an evil corporation so they can fight each other to the death and angst over it all before one of them becomes a God and surpasses the system. This is just Madoka Magica but "magical girls" is replaced by "superheroes" and "aliens" is replaced by "corporation." In other words, this guy just has one (1) single plotline in his brain and will do it until he dies.

Yeah no, that show only had literally 3 people turn into monsters by their own volition. The whole evil corporation was essentially a separate faction that clashed with the heroes because the “enemies” of that show were literal invading species and everyone was dealing with that in their own way. Hell even the “turn into god” thing wasn’t even a sought out goal just a side effect at the end. Might want to dig a bit deeper than just reading the cliff notes and piecing something together to make someone look bad.

I always have to start the New Years with this picture.

In case you’re wondering how smart rats can be, and if Ratatouille is real, then allow me to share this story: I once had two rats, River and Chell, both rescued from a laboratory as babies. Chell was whip-smart and liked to ride around on my shoulders as I walked around the apartment. She would recognize places she wanted to go, such as her cage or the sofa, and I would raise my arm up to let her run across to her objective. She quickly cottoned on to this and, in an entirely self-taught behavior, would run to one of my shoulders or another and tug on my sleeve, to signal me to raise my arm in the direction she wanted. In this manner she was able to steer me around the apartment and would frequently use me as a taxi instead of walking herself. She then taught her sister how to do it too.
