hater to my core ◇ 29/she-her/🇦🇹🇭🇷/☭ ◇ I read Asian comics & talk a lot ◇ youtube.com/@SomeEuropeanC… ◇ patreon.com/someeuropeanch…
- CHAINSAW MAN has made the impossible happen: the most popular ship in the fandom is straight & also the healthiest, most realistic, most desirable option for our male protagonist. even fujoshi rally behind asaden. for the first time, a fandom is carried & united by boy x girl.
- what makes CHAINSAW MAN special imo is that it's a story about ppl who aren't special at all. everyone is at the mercy of higher powers & just getting tossed around, lacking agency & being replaced left & right. even the heroes are replacable puppets, so it reads like pure chaos.
- Replying to @some_euro_chickfujimoto really made hetero relationships REFRESHING & ATTRACTIVE. i can't stress how rare this is in fandoms. and it all stems from the man knowing how to write female characters, making them compelling, important to the story & relatable to every reader of any gender.
- yall really doubling down on the "stupid sjw whamen can't appreciate deep & dark stories waah waah" schtick when you can't even differenciate between torture p0rn and trauma p0rn. miura was a deeply flawed man, it's time for yall to bury that cognitive dissonance in 2023.We are in an unfortunate era of anitwitter where writing and exploring darker themes and subplots gets this sort of reaction
- Replying to @some_euro_chickusually, gay shipping is what we consider exciting, so mangaka intentionally write some homoerotic undertones between their male characters. they know the free marketing from fujoshi with their fanart & doujinshi is what makes their works a lot of money & longevity.
- Replying to @some_euro_chickthis is how mangaka usually use women for their works. not by incorporating them properly in their stories, but by exploiting their desire for potential female gaze material. due to the lack thereof, they create their own media with it, leading to perpetual & free promotion of
- Replying to @some_euro_chickCHAINSAW MAN has, to a significant degree, broken this cycle of regurgitated stale male-female relationships. asa is strong & beloved. denji is strong & beloved. they are both deserving of love & we'd be happy if they could find it in each other. no need for cowardly fujo-fodder.
- Replying to @some_euro_chickmale-centered stories marketed for male audiences. the lack of care & consideration for female consumers in the industry lead to women/fujos taking a bit of the power upheld by cishet men with their rigid views on masculinity back & turn them on their heads through homoeroticism.
- Replying to @some_euro_chickwhat oomfie said 👇 often times, the fujo bait may not even be intentional. it's just a by-product of men thinking so little of women that the only emotional & intellectual intimacy men experience could only possibly come from fellow equals; other men.Replying to @Secret_Doves and @some_euro_chickOne point I would add is that the homoerotic undertones aren’t necessarily bait, but can be a part of hegemonic masculinity, which has tons of latent homoeroticism that it exists in denial of. This is the logic behind fanboys saying fujos “ruin” friendships by exploring that.
- Replying to @MrThrowaway7699same here! it felt like fujimoto got tired of the "there is no friendship between men and women, one always has to fancy the other" crowd and wrote powerden's sibling dynamic just to spite them.
- Replying to @some_euro_chickmisogyny is a real bitch, huh. by excluding women from participation in society or even just in your fictional story, you create movements, subcultures & structures that undermine your rigid system of a male-only's club (patriarchy). this is how the tale of genji was created.
- Replying to @some_euro_chickliterally when women have nothing better to do than listen to the adventures of their oh-so-cool men in their society, they will sit down & write about men going on sexcapades that include other men. don't want to be objectified? then don't objectify women lol it's easy.
