In the real world, isn't sexual harassment ultimately about power? I know anime often plays it off for laughs and tries to pretend it's not, but perhaps they should show it for the truly ugly thing it is (even if in some fucked up way the show intends for it to be a positive). In any case, reading your thoughts is enough for me to not bother trying this show out. I can't stand sexual harassment.
