Why do I, as a Japanese person, enjoy creating Black characters?
To put it simply, I started creating Black characters because a Black fan once said to me, 'Thank you for creating Black characters beautifully.
It's a simple reason, but those words really made me happy.

Imagine how exhausting it must be to be a male victim of SA and the only time your fellow men care about talking about your trauma is to use it to dismiss women's own experiences
@sanji_joestar
Look into the qts and comments, you'll see people saying that they're being forced, brainwashed, or that they're pandering to people who'll stab them in the back
It's literally a net negative gain, it's not an appealing community. The only reason you'd willingly subject yourself to it is because you actually like anime
Every girl should have some type of basic makeup skills. Ain’t no way you can’t do a lil eyebrow, put on foundation just nothing. No shade lmao but in 2024 work on that😭
Also, men thinking them being stronger makes them automatically better is some troglodytic thinking fr. We didn't thrive as humans through brute force alone, it actually makes people less likely to want to be around you
Women telling other women to dump their emotionally disinterested, unavailable and borderline abusive boyfriends for their own safety and peace of mind and this is your response

Like, WE hate it here, why would a random woman who has no interest in it see how we're suffering and say "yeah, let's win their approval"?
I hate Elon Musk as much as the next person, but celebrating that a person you don't like is a child rapist is fucking weird. Can y'all please take this seriously?
Sanji haters really CANNOT understand context. Everyone in the crew knew about Usopp insecurity about being disposable, and Luffy was about to tell Usopp to leave, which would be devastating for him to hear for that exact reason
except that zuko WASN'T a colonizer. he was a teenager growing up in the middle of the war and with tons of prppaganda over his head. he was 16 when he understood everything was wrong.
iroh is a real, confirmed colonizer, but for some reason y'all never mention him.
Me trying to explain to overly religious people that this is a man-made problem that can easily be solved and not a punishment from God that has to be ignored
y'all need to accept and understand that as latinos who actually live in latam (not the "latinos" from the us) we didn't know what it meant nor the history behind the nword, we only repeated what the famous gringos we used to watch said . your history wasn't taught on our schools

Most men who rape other men are straight too. It's not about desirability, it's about dominance, that's why just focusing on what they like is meaningless, it's a behavioural problem. And I didn't say it wouldn't happen to the women side as well.

@jamarispeaks
It wouldn't, the numbers would just increase on the men's side, (which are less likely to come out and they'd also, just shift the focus on the local women as well. Less military women would be assaulted but the number of actual assaults would barely reduce. The issue is bigger

A lot of women tend to become more selective and in the stuff they watch as they grow up, and a lot of us just switch up to manga because it has a wider variety and more stuff to cater to women that never make it to anime. The anime industry has definitely a bias
Y'all really do not understand that a sexual relationship between the two cannot be consensual by the very nature of it being basically an hostage situation
Let put that there: "dark content" done for the sake of titillation is not dark content, it's fetish porn. "Some art is supposed to make people uncomfortable" yeah, but actual dark content creators acknowledge within the text that what's going on is messed up.
"Daddy/daughter" porn is disgusting regardless, but if you're specifically a grown man with a daughter watching that shit you need to be put down immediately
It irritates me so much when shy and meek girls are described as having no personalities. Y'all really think being butthead strong is the only personality trait in existence. Y'all don't have to say Hinata is well developed, but being quiet introverted and shy IS a personality.
I'm confused why sakura gets more hate than hinata when hinata is a much worse of a character and only exists to be naruto's forced love interest while having 0 personality.
She's a shit person but she's still an abuse victim, especially because unlike Zuko, she was being abused by both parents, and even Iroh, the one adult that could have helped her, abandoned her
When I visited Italy, I noticed that I walked everywhere. I walked to get pizza, walked to get gelato, and walked back to my hotel. Italians even have a term (passeggiata) for the leisurely strolls they take after dinner. In the US, cities are much more oriented around cars.
There are legitimate way to criticize general Asian anti-blackness in their communities without pretending that they're not victims of violence themselves
That "all her attention is on the kid" part telling you he's doing shit all to take care of that child and she's probably exhausted and pissed about it
This happens to so many men. I know a guy going through it right now but he refuses to cheat and instead is always angry with his wife and resents his family. I told him, he’d be a better dad and husband if he just found a release. Even just one offs on business trips would do.
Every time a woman talks about makeup as something you must learn as a woman, as if it's some absolutely necessary skill, I remember this post and chuckle to myself
Every few months a tweet goes viral talking about how they’re tired of so many sex scenes in media nowadays and how unnecessary they are and damn, it’s weird to hear sentences from 90s moral guardians spouted by 19 year olds today while we’re in the most sexless era of media
The framework y'all treat girlhood and womanhood, and how y'all keep insisting that Fujomoto write the "female experience" because of it truly pisses me off
Ah, the historically feminist and gay ally horror. The one where it slut shames girls by killing the whore first and rewards virgins by sparing them. The one that lingers way too much on women's bodies while brutalizing them. The one where killing Black people first is so common-
"He's not developed" no, actually Luffy is a perfectly developed and well rounded character. He has a well defined personality, a concrete set of ideologies and greatly established pattern of behaviour that make it easy to even predict what he's gonna do in most situations-
"This is the most gorgeous woman in the history of women"
*Shows a dark skin woman with a face that passes euro-centric beauty standards*
Like yeah she's pretty but I never see these posts for women that lack european features. Kinda weird.
I say this as someone who has Megumi as my favourite character, why I should give a fuck about his suffering because Tsumiki is possessed when I barely know anything about her or their relationship in the first place?
@PokemanZ0N6
I'm gonna bite
1. She's a side character. People don't expect the same amount of development
2. She actually had some interesting conflicts going on with her and her family, that didn't really involve Naruto.
3. She has actual good reason to be in love with Naruto
It's ok if you don't like Oda's character design, it's not for everyone, I get that, but being fuckable is not the definition of a good character design
Y'all invade children spaces online, fill them with pornography, and then are surprised that they start just sharing the same internet with the rest of us
Anime, especially shonen, fans see "female characters" as a separate category from "characters", making any shitty writing pertaining them just an "unfortunate mishap that can easily be ignored" instead of treating it as a fundamental problem with the author's character writing-
@kiiingkrystal
Goku by far. Naruto is clever, he was just neglected. Luffy understands when he actually WANTS to, he just lacks interest for stuff he doesn't care about learning. Both Naruto and Luffy have some great emotional intelligence that Goku seems to painfully lack as well
The whole “text me when you get home” thing really bugs me. It says ‘I’m a little worried that you might not get home safely which would be horrible but I’m not going to anything about it except sit here safe in my home.'
This is going to be a hard pill to swallow for y'all, but millennials sex positivity movement has turned reactionary for a while now, it's outdated and it refuses to acknowledge a lot of the genuine criticisms that revolve around it. We're not in the 90s anymore, most gen z know-
When I see these zoomer dumbfucks talk shit about "sex positivity", I need them to understand that in the 90s, there was a massive scandal resulting in the termination of Bill Clinton's Surgeon General for saying that masturbation can't give you AIDS
Y'all genuinely believe that working class women were stupid and frivolous enough to wear the same restrictive corsets noble and aristocratic women wore for fashion to do heavy manual labour. This is like assuming that your 9 to 5 worker today wears a Victoria Secret full-
Between attacking this and how defensive y'all got when someone said they wished Ariel hair was redder, y'all becoming extremely weird about this movie
Not to be the Fun Police, but the reason I like the character is because of how they were characterized in the story in the first place, so I'd rather not
Normalize mischaracterizing your comfort characters do it do it. I literally do not give two shits about whether or not a character would canonically do something. It’s my comfort, my art, my rules.
Sanji not only stopped Luffy from saying some hurtful shit to a person they all deeply care about, but also stopped him from saying something that would undermine the respect that the other members of the crew have for him
I'm gonna be serious here about this, but the issue with Made in Abyss is that the author is actually vocally weird and into gross shit, so people have all the right to be sceptical about the depiction of certain thematics in the story considering the person writing it
Remember that really cute scene of Sanji and Chopper going out of their way to inform an estranged Usopp of the aqua laguna, because they wanted him to be safe
"We're all inherently bad" is an incredibly lazy take to make about a story that focuses on how capitalism force people to make awful decisions in order to survive
I really hate talking about this, I REALLY fucking do:
But White Ppl aren’t excluding Black Ppl/PoCs from Geek culture. Nerd/Geek culture has NEVER systematically pushed minorities out.
It’s insane to think it has
Predatory behaviour aside, I find it so weird how y'all find a woman with her own individuality and personality a turn off, it's like y'all don't want actual companionship, just someone to service you in silence
