The narrative that "moe killed manly anime" is largely bullshit but the reason it is so convincing is that it does have a grain of truth to it.

Moeshit and idol industry is more valuable than "serious" products. Whenever Japan tried to cater to international markets it always ends up with the (((American))) executives taking over the company and moving headquarters to California.
Just like what happened to Sony, Sega, Capcom.

I remember the author of TWGOK talked about idol characters in one of his author notes. According to him, it was largely an 80s trend that kind of dried up in the mid 90s and became seen as kind of an outdated cliche when it did pop up after that. At the time he wrote the series (2009), he felt that having an idol character in that day in age was still pretty unorthodox, although he did note that Idolmaster was making it trendy again (said character ended up being super, super popular).

It does make sense also constant news articles denoucing the abuse that women go through in the idol industry killed what little interest the genre still had left. AKB48 revitalized the industry in the 00s using the trend of having 50 different talents giving the girls somewhat of an indie appeal. I still think that "pretty girl" anime and Moeshit is largely rooted in idol culture.

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.
