Centaurs and sjws

Centaur no Nayami may be, if it keeps going in this direction, the first Monster girl anime in probably the last decade that i find interesting (not counting Kemono friends which was a strange fenomenon of a kids show becoming unnusually addictive because of it's dark setting, not because it had monster girls), and it may very well be for reasons unintended by the author (we'll see about that).

Essentially the show is yet another "daily life with" trying to copy paste the boring formula of Monster musume that unfortunatelly became famous and is now the base for every Monster girls work in existance. But it has a point in the setting that i have liked, and it's the critique, maybe unintentional, on what a world dominated by social justice would be.

At one point of the episode, a teacher talks to the students about how in the past there were wars because there are so many different races in that world, and so now society tries to revolve arround stopping discrimination. That's all good and all but then you begin to see the dangerous details. The teacher talks about how the new rule of society and the new focus of education is that "equality" is more important than civil rights and even life. When she says that, she takes a worried look to two vilgilant figures who are watching the lecture, which indicates that this policy is being enforced by the state unto unwilling teachers who understand it to be bad but are afraid of the consecuences of not following that agenda.

Later, the three protagonists are jogging, and the centaur offers to the tired sheep to ride on top of her, but the sheep has to refuse because if she does that, it could be misunderstood as discrimination towards the centaur, and she could go to jail. The succubus says that "it can't be so bad", and the sheep informs her that the state is craking down hard on anything that may look like discrimination, to the point that even TALKING about it is illegal.

I don't know how much of this is an intentional critique, since Japan doesn't have the problems we have here with social justice (asians even have a despective term to refer to western people whit that mentality, the "white left"), but nonetheles looks exactly to be talking about the dangers we have been warning of the cracking down on free speech and artistic freedom that the far left has been pushing this last years. We will see if the show keeps going on that direction and making more critique on that ideology or it just ignores it's own premise and just goes for boring daily life (which is essentially what every other monster girls show has done, so don't keep your hopes up).
