(Hated Trope) Edgy slop that actually thinks it's saying something profound

GANTZ: There's a lot of gore and a lot of fucking, just about every male character under the age 18 is either a horny idiot or a psychopath who hunts neighborhood cats for sport, and every female character is a fuck doll. It also throws in a proud xenophobic message against immigration, using aliens as the stand-in.

The Boys (the original comic): This isn't a story. It's a manifesto. The message Garth Ennis wants to tell you is that if superheroes exist, they would all be glory seeking psychopaths. They are also either closeted homosexuals or they have a really fucked up fetish. You know that running gag in Peacemaker where the titular character believes ridiculous rumors like Aquaman fucking fish? Think that, but without the irony.

Elfen Lied: Humans are the real monsters, not the emotionally unstable-by-D.N.A. psychic cat girls that can eviscerate people without even looking at them. To demonstrate that, let's have a bunch of ten-year-olds JoJo Lucy's puppy.

Platinum End: God is dying and needs a successor, or else all of existence dies. So, instead of picking the most ethically and emotionally qualified person for the job, God decides to have a battle royale between a bunch of suicidally depressed people and give them access to arrows that either kill on command or do mind control, and the candidates consist of a rapist who uses his arrows for a harem, an ugly incel, an incestuous narcissist, a misanthrope who killed his parents, and a Reddit Atheist. When it isn't ripping off Future Diary, the characters go on long spiels against religion and other social issues Tsugumi Ohba wants to get on his soapbox about. Oh, by the way, this anal waste of a series came from the same duo behind Death Note.
