Characters with no grand overreaching goal tend to be treated as bland... Why?

Ichigo kurosaki from anime/Manga bleach lives his life with one purpose (protect his loved ones) in a way he mirrors Peter Parker a beloved character. Why is one hated and one loved even though narratively they draw several parallels.

Is it because ichigo has plot armor surviving seemingly impossible odds? His mixed heritage?

But rather I believe most anime fans complain just to complain bleach end of the day is a shonen which are target towards young boys who surprise enjoy these main character tropes.

Another character ichigo draws parallels to is yusuke from yuyu hakusho. Same misunderstood delinquent archetype, hidden bloodline, determination to protect.

So what is the real reason for bleach hate?

Modern Society Forces Piracy Onto Us

At some point, we need to stop pretending piracy exists simply because people are “cheap” or “criminal.”

Modern society has built a world where you’re expected to pay for almost everything just to participate in everyday life. Internet access. Music. Movies. Sports. Games. News. Cloud storage. Software. Education. Even basic entertainment.

And it’s not just one subscription anymore. It’s Netflix. Spotify. Disney+. Amazon. Apple. YouTube. Whatever comes next. Every company wants its own monthly payment.

We’ve created a system where owning nothing is normal, but somehow we’re expected to keep paying forever just to access the things we used to simply buy and enjoy.

So when people turn to piracy, maybe the question shouldn’t only be “Why are people stealing?”

Maybe we should also ask:

“Why have we built a society where accessing ordinary culture and entertainment requires an endless stream of payments?”

I’m not saying piracy is morally or legally justified.

I’m saying modern society has made piracy an increasingly predictable response to the way digital life has been structured.

Maybe people aren’t becoming more dishonest. Maybe the system is becoming harder to afford.
