But that's not entirely untrue it is clear that denji's extreme isolation is intended to be a hyperbolic form of the emotional neglect that so many young boys experience growing up in patriarchal society. Chainsaw Man is nothing if not a story about the horror of living in late capitalism. Denji is the way that he is because of the extreme neglect he faced as an orphan in abject poverty being subjected to dehumanization for his whole life. He had no freedom to go to school, have hobbies, make friends, or do anything but work and scrounge for food and porn out of the garbage. It only makes sense that sexuality is the only viable form of affection that clicks right in his head, because it's the only type he's ever been exposed to. And nobody has bothered to see this as a problem. As something that is sad. Because they choose to see him as a perverted teenage boy instead of as a victim of a society that has offered him no other form of connection to reach for.

You can’t do this to me
