And lol at Gen loving tragedies more than the comedies.
It's the anti-bishoujo. This character type is becoming so common in anime in general that it was only a matter of time before someone did a deconstruction of it. i just didn't think it would be so soon. Gen seems to be all about taking whatever character archtype tropes are popular with otaku and just twisting them into something creepy and unnatural yet not forgetting to preserve the surface elements that made them popular in the first place. He did it with Madoka and Magical girls, he did it with Fate/zero and shonen gar concepts and he seems to be doing it here with moe tropes in general.
