Pete comments on someone else's comments regarding Juuden-chan, to the effect that the other guy sometimes hates the baseball bat and sometimes likes it. And talks about double standards.
No double standard here about that kind of thing: I don't like exaggerated violence for comedic purposes.
I don't like tsunderes. I don't find them amusing. I didn't like seeing Dokuro-chan killing that poor bastard with her spiked club. I didn't like seeing Louise beating up Saito. I didn't like the awful things that were done to the wimpy guy in Girls Bravo. And in general I really hate it when comedy relies on someone gets beaten up to get a laugh.
Alright, I have to confess to one exception: I liked watching Kaede beat the crap out of Onsokumaru in Ninja Nonsense. But not because there was any pretense that it was funny. I liked it because I despise Onsokumaru and want him dead. If I can't have him dead, I want him in agony.
But I don't like watching girls beat up guys, with or without weapons, and I don't like guys beating up girls, with or without weapons. At least I don't in comedies; there isn't anything faintly humorous about it.
I mentioned the other day that I thought that Juuden-chan was a monumental trainwreck. The guy's baseball bat was a big part of that, and it's the main reason I'm not interested in watching further.
UPDATE: That, by the way, is the main reason I didn't get past the first episode of Nagasarete Airantou. It was obvious that the primary source of "humor" was going to be the guy getting beaten up.
UPDATE: DIE, Onsokumaru! Die!
