>>149381376Because none of them ever actually watched any magical girl anime more than like, maybe one episode here and there, and that's the one that shows up when they google it.
It never comes from a place of actually liking or knowing what the fuck a magical girl anime is like or anything like that because it's always soulless faggots using it as a buzzword to try and borrow the perceived legitimacy and respectability of anime the last few years, and nostalgia with some surface level references from doing a 5 minute google for iconic scenes and some wiki/tvtropes skimming.
Same reason so many shows claim they're anime when they aren't or inspired by X or Y thing they don't resemble at all. They at most resemble what the creator thinks that thing was like without ever once interacting with it beyond maybe some memes.
/tg/ could tell you a lot about the behavior because it's historically a constant fucking problem over there as well with fags who think they know what classic DnD is like without having ever actually looked at a book before they go and make their own "Daring, original, modern" homebrew setting that inevitably is just a dungeonpunk swamp of the same 5 "We're different" stereotypes, just add post-90s edge or post-2010s globohomo depending. There's 822 Eberron clones that are all the fucking same because of this.
/co/ shit has it, /tv/ shit has it, /lit/ has probably had the problem longer than anyone, /v/ does it plenty, etc.
It's a natural result of pseudointellectual fags beforehand who have zero passion for anything other than themselves growing up and realizing nobody gives a fuck about their pathetic little faggy personal experiences of being a sack of shit desperate for outside approval and validation but also they have no experience with anything else, so they just pretend to know everything about some property the other kids liked and slap as much terminology from their useless college degree as they can on it.
