{{quote|"Blatantly sexist power fantasies are nothing new in ''[[Otaku|otaku]]'' culture, but there is one thing about ''[[Kantai Collection]]'' that I find a lot more worrying: The ''kanmusu'', cute mascots played for maximum ''waifu'' appeal, are in fact [[Moe Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphised versions of Japanese war ships]] from [[World War II]] <ref>[http://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2014/02/20/digital/kantai-collection-social-game-of-warships-sets-course-for-big-money/ Japan Times article]</ref>.
