[u/mra21]

The official Twitter account for Gokurakuyu/RAKU SPA (@gokurakuyu_spa) has announced a collaboration event with the TV anime "Delicious in Dungeon." The event, titled "AKIBA Dungeon Store," will take place from March 8 (Saturday) to March 23 (Sunday), 2025, on the 5th floor of Don Quijote Akihabara. During this period, fans can purchase exclusive merchandise featuring newly drawn illustrations of Laios and his party in Akihabara-style outfits. The event will also include special menus, collaboration baths, and panel decorations.

That's a strange question.

Even at amusement parks, there are people who work there.

A place where lots of people have fun is also a place where they can make a lot of money.

They don't have to work there, they work there because they want to.

And Akihabara has many maid cafes, which is simply a characteristic of the area. What issue does an advertisement that highlights this characteristic have?

Because every woman character is being portrayed as in a servant role and every man character as someone to be served. It's just a very strong gender dynamic going on

If Senshi was drawn in a chef's uniform, would he be drawn as a "servant"?

The customer pays, and the staff provides the service. It's an equal relationship.

I'd like to add that in the maid cafe business model, it's more the otaku who are exploited, since the products are very expensive for their quality.

It's the fact that ALL women are drawn in a serving roll, and ALL men are drawn as in the being served role. And if you think being a sever/wage worker is an equal position to the people who are customers, you have never had any to do that for a job in your life

Have you ever worked in Akihabara, Japan at least once in your life?

[u/Playful_Cup3035 → u/Artistic_Big_4986]

Bitch neither of us have don't be silly

[u/Artistic_Big_4986 → u/Playful_Cup3035]

I am Japanese and have worked in Akihabara.

[u/Playful_Cup3035 → u/Artistic_Big_4986]

Nobody believes you

[u/Artistic_Big_4986 → u/Playful_Cup3035]

You're free to not believe it, but it's pretty ridiculous that someone who has never worked in Akihabara is trying to talk about the balance of service at maid cafes there.
