CLAMP is really weird.

[snarp]

I just finished the first arc of Magic Knight Rayearth.

...

This makes something like four times that CLAMP have done a story that's some variation on "I have summoned you... to destroy me!" Is this a self-made tradition for them, or is there a manga ur-narrative they're working from?

and let me be clear I'm not saying CLAMP's work don't have some issues with sexism (X in particular strikes me as being problematic with the amount of dead women), but I don't think the best way to criticise it is making stuff up (Karen's death), re-imagining supporting characters as "cameos", playing "psychoanalysing" the author instead of making a case about a work, and hyperbolic statements.
