Not an analysis post, but I just want to share to you this part that I noticed when I re-watched Yorknew City arc.
Remember in episode 56 or something when they had to search for the scarlet eyes to track Kurapika?
Look at the whole troupe looking for it:
They're all working so hard and then there's that MF clown:
THIS MF CLOWN
This man. He's just standing over some wooden boxes and not even trying to look like he's searching for the scarlet eyes. Not even trying put in a millimeter ounce of effort.
And you know what else is crazy?
Do you see where he's facing towards? He's facing towards somewhere in the right-corner of the place.
And of course he's looking down. And do you know who is in the direction he's looking at?
Frickin' Machi.
This man decided to spend his time hovering over Machi. Scarlet eyes who? Only Machi.
I bet he was flirting and bothering her all throughout xD
No wonder Machi is so done with him and Phantom Troupe assigned Machi to him. If this is how Hisoka is, then oml it all makes sense.
Of course, they just gave up on making him do work. He's beyond saving
everytime I see antis call themselves punk I lose hope in the internet again
I don't know how to say this but policing people's right to create and consume any fiction they want AND advocating for the corporal punishment of "thought criminals" cannot and will not ever be punk. shut up
Finally finished up that Balan Wonderworld animation from the other night while streaming with @kaleidraws tonight!
I’m so excited for this game. I’m so excited that Naka-san and Ohshima-san are working together again. What a team.
togashi has really been emphasizing just how huge hisoka is…
every puppet he held mid fight just dangled above ground helplessly, and he didn’t even raise them up that much;
plus with phinks’ confirmation that hisoka’s height is 190+ (6’2+), him being almost a head taller than chrollo without his heels, and with uh… later appearances of his, so to speak, it’s safe to say hisoka has beat the 180-something-cm tall allegations - from the 2011 anime and the (often incorrect) hxh databook lol
Your DNI is not a boundary, it's performative list of what makes you angry and disgusted. You put it out there and expect absolutely everyone to read it like it's law.
Setting a boundary would be blocking someone yourself. Your DNI is not a boundary. Get over yourself and act like adult
I'm gonna say it.
It's unhinged to assume that someone's taste in fiction equates to what they believe is moral or good, or is something they want to see or experience in real life.
That is a bonkers assumption to make.
I'm tired of humoring people with long arguments about it when the simple fact is it is a totally fucking absurd reach to accuse someone who enjoys something in fiction of being in favor of it in real life.
I'm tired of pretending like this is a legitimate position to hold-- that they should be afraid of fiction's dire influence on a reader's moral decay or that it's a sign of what the author secretly wants for realsies in real life.
yes! i do like [problematic thing]! and unfortunately i am under no obligation to defend my interests to strangers on the internet. good day and thank you for your time
fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes
the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually
liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space
preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good
no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl
liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that
just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny
some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have
no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems
abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships
y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people
fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
feel free to add more
better than drugs
I hate you shipping discourse I hate you unnecessarily aggressive DNI banners I hate you dehumanization of those you disagree with I hate you harassment over ships or favorite characters I hate you purposeful lack of nuance I hate you false equivalencies I hate you policing how people engage in fandom I hate you actively trying to make fandom spaces hostile I hate you refusal to filter your feed I hate you making it everyone else’s problem
