The show revolves around the exploits of the Anarchy sisters, Panty and Stocking, angels who were kicked out of Heaven due to their bad behavior. They are sent to Daten City—a pun on the Japanese word datenshi (堕天使?, lit. "fallen angel")—a place on the border between Heaven and Hell, which is besieged by evil spirits referred to as "Ghosts". The sisters take refuge under the care of the reverend Garterbelt; under his watchful eyes, the sisters are tasked with using their ability to transform their lingerie into weapons, and using them to destroy malicious Ghosts. By doing so, the sisters earn "Heaven Coins" with which they intend to one day use to buy their way back into Heaven. However, Panty and Stocking are constantly sidetracked by their respective interests in men and sugary sweets.
CharactersPanty (パンティ)Voiced by: Arisa Ogasawara (Japanese); Jamie Marchi[4] (English)Panty is a blonde-haired pale-skinned angel whose only interests are looking for men to sleep with and basking in the popularity of being an Anarchy sister. She does not take her Ghost-hunting duties as seriously as her sister Stocking, instead preferring to fulfill her personal goal of having sex with 1,000 men on Earth before returning to Heaven. She is generally rude and aggressive to the people around her (including Garterbelt, Brief, Stocking, the men she sleeps with, and most prominently Chuck), and is fond of living the celebrity lifestyle of being an Anarchy sister because it brings her closer to the men and fame she craves. However, she does occasionally exhibit affection toward Stocking and a deep desire for what she believes is best for her, despite their frequent arguing. Although she frequently insults Brief, she sometimes shows a less shallow side to her personality with others. She has the ability to transform her panties into a pistol called Backlace (バックレース Bakkurēsu?). She occasionally wields a second Backlace using Stocking's panties, doubling her firepower and allowing her to combine them into more advanced firearms such as a submachine gun or sniper rifle. She can weaponize male underwear, though the weapon's size and usefulness depends on the size of the original wearer's penis.
I mean, I'm pretty sure it's satirical
does she watch this or somethingisnt she like a staunch feminist
I mean, I'm pretty sure it's satirical, but it's still abhorrent dogshit. It seems the only way Japan knows how to deconstruct their portrayals of women is to turn it up to 11, which is extremely tired, cliched, and anyone who likes it is dumb.

stocking best waifupanties is unpure garbage
Unless the show is set in a kitchen, that is an unrealistic depiction of the inferior gender (aka women).
No arguements, generally curious; what would you do instead to deconstruct tropes on female portrayals? It's going to be hard to do because you need to make sure the trope is obvious first.

I wouldn't go that farYou can be "against" sex in general, for men and women - that's fine. But you're a small drop of water in a sea of people who think it's fine for men to have as much sex as they want, but that women should be chaste. While "no sex for anyone" is an ideal I could subscribe to, it will never happen. So by saying "men and women should be chaste", really all you're doing is helping the people who think women should be chaste.That's why I think promiscuous, sex-desiring women shouldn't be looked upon even if you're against sex in general.However, a work like this has nothing to do with the individual choice for women to have lots of sex, none, or something between. It's a work made by a man who sexualizes his female characters to the point beyond recognition as humans. You can have a character like Jane from Breaking Bad, who likes sex, but whose entire character isn't defined by her sex appeal like Panty's is.
Women are just sex objects who LOVE fucking all the men they can find!
see, me! me! me! almost did it right, by portraying the main dude as just this lonely pathetic loser, neglecting his loved ones in the real world in favor of this ridiculous dancing sexual caricature on his television or computer screenbut it fucked up its message by focusing in so much on the sexual aspect, to where most people who see that music video don't even understand the message it's trying to send--they just think it's some weird softcore hentai with some groovy music, which only worsens the very issue the video was trying to comment on
it's got a good art style

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
