In its own way the very existence of the Avatar even further lays bare the otaku psyche, when the reaction of the fanbase reveals just how shallow, limited, and divorced-from-reality the typical otaku ideal of a “pretty girl" really is.

and hoooly shit theres a whole lot of sexual politics going on in this show. for example Kasuga idolizes Saeki. To him, she's a goddess who is perfect in every way. but he never makes any real attempt to communicate with her on his own because he doesn't want to shatter that image of her. again, for example, when Nakamura tells Kasuga that she really wants to have sex, Kasuga is in complete denial that its even possible. because to him Saeki is this perfect amazing angel who'd never be into something so filthy, right? and the manga shows how thats an absolute bullshit attitude towards women, and Saeki is forced to hold up this fake image of herself on display because its how everyone else views her. and later on in the manga she shows her true colors and she is far, far from perfect. almost despicable, in fact.
