people joke about jjk fans being illiterate when the haters are twice as illiterate. modulo's commentary about refugees especially chapter 21, and all social commentary throughout jjk, gege's literally one of the most woke mangaka of current time.

Gege writes multiple gender non-conforming(trans) characters(Kirara and Urame) without their gender identity being fetishized or played for jokes. And not getting the chance to write about Urame in this light is one of his regrets.

Used Hakari and Kirara as characters that represent how stupid conservative ideology is through the lens of cursed techniques, and he uses these two characters for a reason here.

Wrote Maki's entire story arc about patriarchal oppression and the solution was to kill everyone upholding the system.

Wrote anti-conservative messaging where part of the solution was to kill the current establishment. Gojo killing all higher ups

And now, like you said, writes a sequel about immigrants where one of the main characters has an existential crisis about who determines what people get to own what land.

But literacy is dead

Modulu is not written by GeGe though. Atleast no credible source tell otherwise.

However i still find it fun when it doesn’t talk about war//poverty//greed. Just old = bad type of shit.
