Years from now our grandchildren will be learning in schools about how Kazutaka Kodaka created a postmodern masterpiece, incorporating parody of the "Teenager death arena" genre through humor and excessive violence, a-la Shakespeare's "Titus Andronicus", as well as subtle criticism of Japanese culture itself. The incorporation of Hope and Despair brings to light absurdist principles, with Kodaka seeming especially inspired by Albert Camus's "The Stranger". Junko's rejection of hope and subsequent acceptance of her impending death mirroring that of Meursault angrily refusing to turn to God in the face of the prison chaplain, before grasping the indifference of the universe and awaiting his execution.

Not only does Kodaka parody and deconstruct other works, he provides multiple controversial subversions within his works. Danganronpa 2's ending, for example, reveals that the entire game took place inside a virtual program, thus revealing the stakes as they had been set up to have been entirely fabricated, not only by Junko, but by the player. Many, having grown attached to these characters, reacted with anger and disbelief that not only were the cast members irrelevant pawns within Junko's grand scheme, but that the game they themselves had been playing was torn down before their very eyes. As Lao Tzu said, "If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are headed."

You may not personally have enjoyed it because you are a simple-minded imbecile, but you could at least acknowledge the genius behind it.

that is a funny meme considering at least in the US conservatives are the original safe spacers, were offended by metal and rap music, profanity and other such topics, and still are to this day who choose to live in their own echo chambers (conservative radio, conspiracy shows almost always heavily conservative)
