Thinking about how Witchblade was a really horny ‘90s comic about a hot chick and her shapeshifting demonic symbiont, but the horny part was just that the symbiont would make itself look like a really slutty bikini

No, Kill la Kill isn’t feminist deconstruction, but it’s not unreflective titillation, either. It’s more parody than satire, and its critique of ubiquitous fanservice isn’t that it’s harmful and degrading to women - I’m not sure Trigger really cares about that - but that it’s harmful and degrading to anime.
