    One punch man is a parody in it’s core though, I don’t know why people seem to take it so seriously. Even Tatsumaki can be read as making fun of the usual shounen loli character tropes, looking like how she does and being about thirty

      There’s making fun of the trope, and then there’s actually leaning into it. I’ve seen the series and I’ve read the manga. It’s certainly getting leaned into.

        That’s actually a pretty good take on it, yeah. I certainly don’t want to defend any loli coded characters further than noting the original parody intend there.
