My opening rendition of Lists of 5 listed five isekai anime that I've watched recently, the most affective being Sword Art Online. Most people likely followed me because of my writing about the sex trade/s, āantiwork,ā racial-sexual ideology, sexuality, and poverty. So they were probably wondering what the hell isekai anime has to do with any of that. Most people probably wouldnāt readily connect Japanese anime to Nathan Jurgensonās work on digital dualism, nor would they turn to isekai or Japanese reality shows as a way of coping with the aftereffects of digital mob violence namely suicidal ideation.
Since adolescence, reading manga about bullying and outcasts has given me an outlet to deal with the verbal abuse, neglect, ostracization, and indirect aggression I have experienced at the hands of my mother and my black, mostly female, peers. Indirect aggression is defined as:
ā¦a behavior intended to harm others, particularly othersā social position and self-esteem, through circuitous means. It is a kind of social manipulation, in which the aggressor manipulates other individuals or the social structure to psychologically harm the victim, without the direct confrontation. The related constructs of social and relational aggression also represent the same phenomena in which social community or peer group serves a mediating role between the aggressor and victim. Indirect aggression is exemplified by behaviors such as gossiping behind back, spreading rumors, social exclusion, slandering remarks, etc.
