when you hate your own work so much you decide to self sabotage out of frustration >>>>

an interesting protagonist with a properly actualized character arc and development with a well rounded dynamic to their deutoragonist that is immediately destroyed because kodaka doesn't take interest in actually legitimizing material beyond formulaic repackaging.

ultra despair girls is an excellent example of interesting and cool concepts immediately destroyed but kodaka being a misogynistic hack who trivializes violence and undermines abuse. he is his own worst enemy and destroys any venture out of formula because he can't handle it.

Genocide is defined not just by numbers but by intent. Israel has declared its aim to erase Palestinian life in Gaza. The scale is clear: 680,000 killed, 380,000 infants. A genocide overwhelmingly against children, erasing Palestinian life at its root.

when your final work in a franchise critiques overstaturation and redundancy so you proceed to do just what you critiqued by making five hundred not sequels for financial gain.

done dragging him for today. not really, but everything has to come to an end.

portraying kodaka as a visionary when he is a hack highly dependent on formula and doesn't venture out of it even when it would serve him good because he simply is lacking ideas and knows he cannot execute them well is absurd. you can express excitement without doing that.

no, i do not think people are stupid for being excited about a new danganronpa game. yes, i think it's absurd to think that danganronpa 2x2 will not be a highly formulaic repackage of the same shit the audience has been served for over a decade and i expect nothing less.

i don't get the reading of sky deliberately hiding his relationship to diaspro to approach bloom when that is not only not the case, not something he would even do canonically. sky hatred aligns with gil hate but gil hate is logical even if not for the truly correct reasons.

approaching stella while lying about his own identity even if his reasoning for doing so was beyond him.

no, sky doesn't have much of a say regarding his own life because of his father and therefore he had to be engaged to diaspro and it was also implied he did not legitimately experience attraction to diaspro. not sure why the hate towards him isn't directed at brandon for [...]

no, you cannot cheat on someone you are not in a relationship with, no, sky does not need to explain to bloom he has a fiancé when he has no reason to believe she is attracted to him, yes, if he were to pursue her while engaged to diaspro without saying so, it would be unethical.

legitimately be perfect but at least have some objective besides "drama" and relationship development.

i think even regarding skybloom discourse/love triangle discourse there's this weird childish perspective that permeates any discussion that could be had about that is both nuanced and accurately critiques the story for what it is. this and the fact that it doesn't have to [...]

laid on a table and picked apart with forceps but to be watched by small children and t(w)eens who enjoy the romanticism of those fantasies at the surface level they're given. with that being said however, i kind of don't care even as someone who grew up with it...😭

i have a lot of thoughts regarding winx club but i also recognize that it wasn't intended to be watched and dissected so sharply with adult eyes as it is first and foremost a fantasy with romance elements and the nuances of what those fantasies are aren't supposed to be [...]

also everyone rags on later winx seasons and the reboots for having terrible animation when winx has always had a wide array of animation problems starting from its pilot.

one thing i've been thinking about with this winx reboot is how much the show actually takes from sailor moon and how obtuse one would have to be to pretend winx pioneered the tropes sm did when it's highly inspired by sm.
