well urobuchi is credited as the lead writer so of course i'll bring him up when talking about the writing. it'd be disingenuous not to imo. and your questions can be answered by "because this was written by a man and men make lazy sexist jokes". maybe this is true, maybe it isn't. we'll never know. i'm not saying your analysis is wrong or you shouldn't make it, but i don't think i'm unserious or anything for believing she's just a sexist joke character. nor are you unserious for thinking there's more to her. i'm sorry if i've come across as too aggressive, i do really respect your analysis
Thats fair I guess. I think this is what I mean by interesting. While yes she could be one note and nothing more, I think the subtext has enough to say here that taking her at face value is going to leave you feeling like she doesn't need to be there. I think most works (that are written competently) are asking you to do that legwork. Its the same as understanding how homura became who she was. Yes its because.of the time loops, but theres also that detail that she came from a catholic school. Was that put in there just for throwaway? Why did they pay an extra person to voice the teacher? Why is she her own character? Analysis like this can bring to light how intentional she is.
Anyway in the end I dont think you're seeing all there is to be seen, but I think you can work on it. Reading or watching more abstracted works or deceptive might give you some food for thought. I do really enjoy breaking down works I know like this so I do have to thank you for that lol ^-^
