    There is! I quite liked the first two series, and thought they did a really good job of depicting otaku, warts and all. Given that the characters in the other series were actually quite well rounded and sympathetic by the end, I was quite happy to see him / her (Not really sure if the character is supposed to be a crossdresser or actually transgender. Nor am I sure that the author really understands the difference) introduced, as I thought maybe the author would put a more mature spin on the story. But given the fact that a large chunk of the first episode was anti-transgender jokes and other characters talking about how much of a freak this character was, I'm not exactly enthusiastic to continue.

    I was planning on seeing it anyway, but now I have Kojima's blessing.

    I see. Well, I suppose you react to these things more sensitively since you're very much involved with it yourself. I wonder if you could've enjoyed the same epsiode 5 years ago? Btw comedy like that will always happen, and people will always react to it differently. I'm sure if an anime, movie or whatever poked fun at something I held dear or believed in very strongly, I would feel equally uncomfortable. I remember there being somewhat of an uproar regarding the Kanji episodes of the Persona 4 anime, with people accusing the show of being homophobic.

    Imagine an open toilet and a cat who likes to climb it but is scared to death of it. Now imagine flushing said toilet after making poops...I nearly lost the cat forever.
    Imagine explain that to the GF...

    It's cool, it's set in a reality where belief can mandate fact.

    Just keep believing he has a vagina and sooner or later it'll happen.

    Or Tokyo just gets blown up again and godzilla shows up. Whatever happens first.
